    Would that be Tito Vogt?
  2. Bellhorn04
    That was the first HR Bernardino gave up this year.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Maybe so. Looks like Cora put a lot of faith in Bernardino in the L on L matchups.

    There's no such thing as momentum other than the way Earl Weaver described it.
  5. Bellhorn04
    What does that mean, exactly?

    It's a sad day at Talksox when we can't find a good historical comp for a Flaherty trade. One could look at the Montgomery trade last year, though the waters are muddied a bit by the Rangers also getting Stratton.

    Over the Monster is really good. To tie it in with the Bill James thing, here's a piece with some pretty innovative ideas on how to cut down on the strikeouts and increase the number of balls in play. https://www.overthemonster.com/2024/7/17/24199496/mlb-needs-to-take-a-sledgehammer-to-its-strikeout-crisis-heres-a-few-ways-they-could-do-it

    Yeesh. His numbers against the Yankees are pretty good, and they've had considerably better pitching than us during his career.
  9. Bellhorn04
    OK Mr. Groaner.
  10. Bellhorn04
    I know. But you gotta like those numbers.
  11. Bellhorn04
    A couple things that probably should have been mentioned about Vlad Jr.: Career vs. Yankees 83 GS .879 OPS 19 HR 63 RBI Career at Fenway 40 GS 1.054 OPS 10 HR 41 RBI
  12. Bellhorn04
    That's what they were called when they mattered.
  13. Bellhorn04
    This is the kind of tough talk John Henry really needs to hear.
  14. Bellhorn04
    No worries, a bunch of us will be pissed when he gets traded elsewhere.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Talksox is like the Oakland Raiders of baseball forums. We're the last resort, baby!
  16. Bellhorn04
    Any evidence of that in the Red Sox starter numbers? Houck 8-6 W-L 2.54 ERA Crawford 6-7 3.04 Bello 10-5 5.32 Yeah, just maybe!
  17. Bellhorn04
    ????? 3.13 ERA 3.17 FIP .98 WHIP 7.44 K/BB Doesn't seem malodorous to me.
  18. Bellhorn04
    5 back in the division though.

    According to FanGraphs, 1 WAR costs you about $8 million on the free agent market. So for $10 million, you should expect to get about 1.25 WAR. That is way below the average WAR of 2.0. For starting pitchers, that's a #4, tops. For one season.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Now somebody go pore through Garrett Richards's numbers for the 5 years before Bloom signed him and see what looks good.
  21. Bellhorn04
    OK, "dumpster dive" is a mild exaggeration for $10 million. It's a touch hyperbolic. You got me.
  22. Bellhorn04
    OK, let's make it $175-200 million as top level. That still leaves $10 million as low level. The Red Sox guaranteed $38 million to a guy who got lit up like a Christmas tree for the last 2 months of 2023. They even threw in an opt-out.
  23. Bellhorn04
    OK, so there's a fun little spectrum of options for bargain hunters, from the thrift store to the dumpster behind the thrift store. The highest contract ever given to a starter is $325 million. $6.5 million is exactly 2% of that.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Yes, you get lucky with some of them. With some you get Klubered.

    Physical discomfort is part of the Experience.
