Hey, that historically horrible team scored 32 runs in 7 games off us this year!
-
There has been plenty of talk here about the prospects of trading Yoshida. The consensus is that we'd have to eat a pretty big chunk of money or take back another team's bad contract. It's definitely one of the issues Breslow has to deal with in the months ahead. -
Then we can start stratifying the way we do with #1 to #5 pitchers. 180 IP = workhorse 160 IP = mule Etc.
-
He could say a few words just to be polite. Like I say, I don't care it about that much. There are some murmurs in the blogosphere that the front office is getting a little displeased about it.
-
Flaherty should hit 165-170 innings. He's having an outstanding year, really.
-
I really don't care about it that much. But what happened in this case was more like waiting an hour for your table, then being told there is no table, and there never was a table, so go home.
-
I have to push back a little. Raffy's behavior after that game was not good. He made the writers wait around an hour thinking he would finally say a few words, but he left without saying anything. And of course it becomes a negative story. He has to do better.
-
Absolutely incredible how well he's been pitching. And he's been getting better as the season goes on.
-
By far the best value starter signings this past offseason were mid-priced guys-Lugo, Wacha, Imanaga.
-
Excellent.
-
May have to do with the device, maybe you need an app if you're on a tablet or whatever. I'm on my desktop right now and I can access any page (have to skip through 5 pages at a time, much like the previous software). I don't think I can do this on my tablet.
-
I wonder how that Netflix doc is going? I read somewhere in the Sox blogosphere that the Netflix folks hadn't been seen around the team for a while, like 6 weeks. Maybe it was BS. But who knows. Never a dull moment with the Sox, even when they're mediocre to crappy on the field.
-
Well, there you have it, folks. The 2024 Red Sox win the season series from the White Sox 4-3, outscoring them 35-32. Not especially impressive against the worst team in history. This would be an appropriate time for someone in the Sox media to write something truly brutal and possibly draw a reaction from Henry or Kennedy.
-
To me Dalbec is one of those guys who demonstrates how tough MLB pitching is. Here's a guy who's been able to consistently mash in AAA (albeit with high K rates), and who did have some early success against MLB pitchers. But they figured him out, apparently. He seems like a good guy, have never heard any words of complaint or frustration or anything. I hope the rest of his baseball life is a good one, whatever or wherever it is.
-
All lefties! And our guys who have faded in the second half are all righties! There's something going on here, I tell ya...
-
That's actually a great factoid, and kind of hilarious to boot...
-
With you on this one. Houck as a "#3 at best" and Crawford as a "depth piece" does imply a whole lotta unrealistic expectations.
-
Craig finished in the top 20 in MVP voting in both 2012 and 2013. The Lisfranc injury obviously did him in.
-
Yeah, we really don't know any more. I was shocked when Kennedy announced in January that he expected the 2024 payroll to be lower than the 2023 payroll, when there were still a ton of free agents left on the market. There's stuff going on behind the scenes that none of us know about. But something has definitely changed.
-
Yeah, I might as well get silly here and say the 2024 team probably would have been better if Bloom was still here. But Breslow has made some moves for young pitching that might pay off bigly. Or not.
-
Cespedes and Craig are remembered by serious Sox fans for their roles in those trades of Lester and Lackey. Flipping Cespedes for Porcello worked out IMHO mainly because Rick contributed to the 2018 ring. (The CYA was great but his regular seasons overall were spotty.) Getting Kelly in the Lackey deal worked out in the 2018 postseason where Joe pitched very well after much speculation he would be left off the postseason roster.
-
I'd love to hear Bloom's side of it some time, but I realize that can never happen unless he moves to a new career outside baseball. I mean, you would think that if they were pissed about the 2022 deadline they would have conveyed a message to Bloom about picking a lane this time, and I don't know why he would have defied that. More likely they just left it up to him I guess.
-
Crochet has some question marks attached to him too because he's not really a proven quantity. The White Sox have been limiting his innings the second half of the season. Since the ASB he has only pitched 24.2 innings, with an ERA of 6.20 and OPSa of .907.
-
Yeah, I'm not sure where the stories about Skubal being available came from.
-
Yep, that's what was reported. Part of me wonders if Henry was so livid about Bloom not doing this and recouping that money that he not only fired Bloom for it, but gave a directive to Breslow to get whatever he could for Sale, end of story. Hell, Sale might have gotten 2 Sox CBOs fired, and he's now working on a third! (Note: most of this post is meant as wild ass speculation for entertainment purposes.)
