    Funny how Koji looked probably the best he's looked all year in his 3 previous appearances before this. Did anybody notice any issues when he closed the 2 wins against the Yanks on 21 total pitches?
  2. Bellhorn04
    I'll just repeat myself on one point. I think it's totally appropriate to use your closer in a 4 run game, especially in Fenway.
  3. Bellhorn04
    I figured so, but it was quite subtly done.
  4. Bellhorn04
    He really signed a team-friendly contract. He could have been a free agent after 2017, but he agreed to cheap team options for 2018 and 2019. Yikes.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Totally impossible.

    Sure would be nice if E-Rod laid claim to that last rotation spot. We have to take future payroll considerations into account with all this - including the possibility of locking down one or more of our superstar B's.
  7. Bellhorn04
    What does that mean.

    Holt is one of the reasons I like WAR. With the Red Sox Holt has a total bWAR of 5.0 in 305 games or about 2 full seasons. A 2.5 WAR player making minimum wage is a huge value.

    You want a great pitcher, the other team wants one of the B's.

    No more political posts please

    It'd be interesting to see some stats for innings where the pitcher has been sitting in the dugout for say 25 minutes or more. We saw the same thing happen to Wright not long ago.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Sox are 28-11 in Holt's starts this year.

    The idea that Minnesota would accept only Buch in return is humorous.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Also worth noting: in his last 3 appearances before getting injured, Koji was nearly perfect, 3 innings, 10 batters faced.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Wouldn't Kimbrel and Tazawa be in a virtual dead heat with Koji if they didn't go on the DL? Plus Barnes leads the bullpen in innings.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Those who are claiming overuse, tell us what your 'Koji Rules' would have been this year, starting with targets for # of appearances and innings.
  17. Bellhorn04
    My guess is they trade Chapman or Miller and that's it unless they go on a skid.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Koji was probably overused in April and May with a total of 21 IP. But in June and July he only had a total of 15 IP. That's very moderate usage. I'm not sure how you're supposed to plan around a reliever that you can only use sparingly with the number of innings that have to be covered. It's much easier said than done when you're trying to win games. IMHO.

    Pomeranz faced 7 hitters in the 4th and retired none of them...that's going to get anyone hooked.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Such as?
  21. Bellhorn04
    No meaningful trades?
  22. Bellhorn04
    Farrell is doing fine managing the bullpen this year, with a lot of issues to deal with.
  23. Bellhorn04
    A lot of unpredictable stuff happens in baseball. Nobody foresaw Wright pitching like this either. There are examples all over the place of guys suddenly finding something that makes them perform much better. It seems to be the nature of the game.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Right, nobody knows s*** - we're all just speculating. But I trust the ballclub to have a better read on it than us armchair wizards.
  25. Bellhorn04
    And he still gets injured, just a day later.
