Groome is pitching today.
-
Our 18-Sep game against the Yanks also starts at 3:33AM. Kind of an interesting innovation I think. (B-R does have some amusing glitches sometimes.)
-
Yes and no. The 13 games with those teams are very important, but the other 26 are too. Going 7-6 against Baltimore and Toronto and playing .700 ball (or whatever it takes) in the other games is a perfectly acceptable way to get there.
-
Winning 3 of 4 in Tampa would be excellent. It certainly can't be taken for granted.
-
I agree, 23 is still young.
-
I think the Hill in question was Rich Hill.
-
Owens is just the latest chapter in the Sox long-running failure at drafting and developing good pitchers. Hopefully Kopech and Groome can reverse the trend a little.
-
You do realize he only threw 51 pitches in 5 innings last night?
-
Strange comment...might have made a little more sense if this wasn't a rain-delayed game.
-
Wow, that was an insomniac special. Good road trip so far.
-
At this point I'm hoping it's only 5 innings.
-
Needless to say I hope he does well every time he takes the ball for us. As do we all.
-
Why does it matter? Calls for him to be DFA'd were not unjustified. He's still having a crap season, 13 million for a 5.42 ERA and a 4-11 record in his starts. Luckily we're salvaging a little from him lately, but who knows how long it will last or when he will get injured again.
-
Sorry, what does the $6.5M number represent?
-
I don't like any of them a whole lot either. It's hard to believe Buch is going to sucker us again though.
-
There are a few free agent pitchers who are having better seasons than Clay and making less money this year. http://www.spotrac.com/mlb/free-agents/
-
Ross, of course, didn't squeeze out Salty until the last 3 games of the WS. Gomes only did one thing in the entire postseason, and it didn't happen until Game 4 of the WS, but it was enough to justify the extra AB's Farrell gave him.
-
$13.5 mil should get you a 2 WAR player. Clay is a 0 WAR player this year. He really shouldn't be handed $13.5 mil for his 2016 performance. Exercising his option would really be betting upside.
-
My guess is that the voters do look at WAR for position players now, but they probably ignore WAR for pitchers. Based on fWAR for example, Price is ahead of Porcello.
-
Sanchez and Sandy Leon might be duking it out for 2017 AL batting champ.
-
And here I was trying to support your point.
-
4 years, 52 million. He was a better value choice, no question. My point is that his numbers were showing an even more severe regression than Pablo.
-
And Chase Headley's last 3 years were: 2012 .875 2013 .747 2014 .700
-
But that kind of increase is the norm for the top free agents every year.
-
Farrell went to Tazawa because he was much better rested. Ziegler has been busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest.
