Do you realize how much you're contradicting yourself? You're saying you don't care what other GMs did at the same time you're saying other GMs did more than Breslow. 🤪
Lowe now has an .815 OPS with us, so Craig might end up taking a bow for that move.
(Someone usually goes with "he fell into his lap" in cases like this.)
FLOPS is yours and you can have it.
I'll be disappointed. And I have said some critical things the last few days in the "Take a bow, Mr. Breslow" thread.
Getting there is my only real concern. Once you get there anything can happen and usually does.
The offense is the team's biggest concern right now obviously but it sure helps having Abreu back.
They're trying to find something that fixes some important calls without totally offending the purists.
The test run indicated that it shouldn't be overly time-consuming.
Let's see how it works.
I see no similarity between the umpiring profession and the medical profession. We don't need more umpires. And the umpires we have are generally good. But calling balls and strikes 100% accurately is impossible and this gives everyone a chance to fix a few calls every game.
And they traded Devers in the middle of June, so they had a lot of time in which they knew they were down a big bat.
They might have been held up by the simple question of whether they were actually a legit playoff contender or not.
It's just very unusual for a team with playoff aspirations to trade a starting pitcher early in the season for prospects. I can't remember very many instances of it.
I don't really remember a trade like this ever, in fact.
Agreed. But man, Priester is 13-2 with a 3.25 ERA and will pitch about 160 innings. This is not a feather in Brez's cap. And Sox fans are getting tired of the Longview stuff.
