  1. An .875 OPS and 126 OPS+ in a Red Sox uniform. Not too shabby.
  2. Don't forget the 2020 adjustment! It makes him just about Even Steven.
  3. Houck was 1 of 4 contending for the 4-5 spots going into spring training, no? With none of them locks. 1 Giolito 2 Bello 3 Pivetta 4-5 Crawford/Houck/Whitlock/Winckowski
  4. I honestly have to give JH credit for a high enough baseball IQ to understand how the Dodgers are succeeding. And we shouldn't overlook that Yamamoto, Buehler and Flaherty have turned in some good games.
  5. Sorry, I was using jinx in this capacity because of our similar posts: A jinx can be initiated when at least two people say any same word or phrase at the same time. Typically, after the coincidental voicing of the same content, the individuals compete to say the word "jinx" before the other, with the slower respondent being the "loser" or "jinxee."
  6. Oh I know. It's almost like they are REALLY committed and pretty darn good at what they're doing! Whereas with Henry and Co. it's like "Woe is us, look at these bad contracts and injuries, how does anyone expect little old us to compete?"
  7. No, we're not insanely unlucky IMHO - although Henry would probably like us to think that. As someone put it, the Dodgers have an entire pitching staff on the IL. But they've somehow managed to succeed anyway.
  8. There's no guarantee that he wouldn't have been, either.
  9. Yep. Mike Ehrmantraut was not wrong.
  10. It's been a brutal combo of Henry not approving very many big moves, and his CBOs whiffing hard on their limited chances. But he's the one ultimately responsible for all of it.
  11. We'll let that stand but please no followups by anyone.
  12. There are some bad jokes available there.
  13. He chose the Cubs 53 million over the Sox 26 million. Tough call, not.
  14. They've never learned their lesson about not trading lefty starters.
  15. Yes, I read about this too. If they do sign Fried some forgiveness will be bestowed. But what's funny is that even if we do, Giolito isn't really guaranteed to be with the Red Sox for very long.
  16. I think it's a combination of the two with a lean toward the $$$. In all the rumors and innuendo last offseason I read one quote from an unnamed executive that suggested the Red Sox were "looking for the perfect deal", which kind of made sense when you look at what happened and didn't happen.
  17. I forgive Schiraldi absolutely. He threw 55 pitches in that game. And he was throwing strikes in the 10th, the Mets just managed to get knocks off them. Poor Stanley, he was instrumental in both the 1978 playoff game and in this one.
  18. "Interesting" is one way to put it. For starting pitchers, Giolito's 38.5 mill leads the way in total investment by light years! Second place is a tie at 10 mill! It's how they roll in this brave new Red Sox world.
  19. I'm picking on imanaga because the Sox were actually in on the bidding for him according to the reports but wouldn't go beyond a 2 year 26 million offer. https://bosoxinjection.com/posts/report-reveals-infuriating-reason-red-sox-didnt-sign-shota-imanaga-this-offseason-01hwk36pfhbr#:~:text=The Red Sox didn't,million offer to the pitcher.
