    Shouldn't be long before IBP has earned a place as an acronym.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Who said they said that?
  3. Bellhorn04
    Under Henry they've never been out of the top 10 in payroll until 2023-2024. And no, that's not a product of other teams losing their minds.

    I assume you mean what Sam said in January. https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2024/01/red-soxs-sam-kennedy-2024-payroll-expected-to-be-lower-than-it-was-in-2023.html

    The telling fact is that they stayed under the tax threshold 2 years in a row. They re-set and stayed re-set. And of course Sam did flat out tell the world in January the payroll was probably going to be lower in 2024 than it was in 2023, to cap off an amazing offseason of mixed messages.

    I think the public announcements also included some stuff about competing and about making the playoffs still being top priority. And they would never say that reduced spending is a goal.

    Through the magical powers of bulls**t luck, the White Sox did indeed end up at 41-121 as I speculated. Worst winning % of modern era: 1962 Mets .250 2024 White Sox .253

    3 solid years of being: Stuck in a rut. Treading water. Hamsters on wheels. Maestros of Mediocrity.

    Nicely balanced takes, thanks.

    There are certainly plenty of closer types who were really good for a year or two and then gone well before age 35. But as to whether it was "burnout" vs. plain old injuries or loss of effectiveness, that would be kind of a rabbit hole to go down.

    Mostly based on he's obviously not healthy right now. They thought he was going to pitch some at the end of this year but he had the dreaded setback.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Larry, you are on fire at the keyboard today. 👍

    I think there's a new field in baseball metrics - Pollyannalytics. With Pollyannalytics, you can make anything look like a positive.

    Little Raffy still stuck on 15 walks. 150 Ks for a nice round 10-1 ratio. In kangaroo courts around MLB there's probably a stiff fine for any pitcher who walks Rafaela.

    Maybe Priester will have a nice game today and make us feel a little better. Maybe.
  16. Bellhorn04
    But he has been horrible in September, like most everyone else.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I would but there just aren't that many of them. If we signed Schwarber we would have had to trade JDM at a loss, understood. But he only had one year left.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I do still have hopes for Breslow. And I'm sure he's feeling pretty motivated about next year. I think he has some competitive fire based on his playing career. But he has to know a lot of Red Sox fans are really sick and tired of the results of the big league team the last 3 seasons.
  19. Bellhorn04
    As far as the major league team is concerned, Brez took a thoroughly mediocre team and... kept it thoroughly mediocre.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Well, you probably assumed Bloom had a clue what he was doing. I tried to do the same. Then the facts sunk in: -Yoshida was a $110 million DH without a lot of power. -Bloom had spent a lot of money on 2 DH's, the other being Turner. -Bloom had only allocated $10 million to the rotation, and donated it to the retirement fund of Corey Kluber.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I'll go with 60%. With 40% he starts the season on the IL.
  22. Bellhorn04
    His supplement supplier. 😁
  23. Bellhorn04
    Virtually every commentator in baseball said at the time it was a massive overpay. So many blunders by the guys running the team the last few years. And Breslow made a doozy of his own with the Sale trade. I'm happy about our farm but I have very little confidence in the guys making the moves.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Not good, not good at all for a $20 million DH. For a $20 million DH you should get Kyle Schwarber. Schwarber .852 OPS 137 OPS+ 38 HR 102 RBI Yoshida .765 OPS 112 OPS+ 10 HR 56 RBI Great job, Bloom. 😒
  25. Bellhorn04
    Now run those OPSs for September.
