They're turning the buy or sell thing into an annual ritual.
-
These things are all intertwined. Henry and his decisions have a lot to do with being a .500ish team 3 years in a row and being all in a tizzy about whether to buy or sell 3 years in a row.
-
They're both baseball talk. Which is better or worse is strictly a matter of personal opinion. Some people are tired of speculating about deadline selloffs for the third year in a row.
-
And of course we always cherry pick the examples that suit our bias. There are other starting pitcher signings that are doing well. But yes, every pitcher signing is risky.
-
Signing more starting pitching would be "going over for the sake of going over" with these guys, it seems. It's not like it was an actual need or anything. It's not like the one guy they signed was immediately out for the season.
-
They reset last year. Oddly enough, it had no impact on this year. Much to everyone's surprise, Kennedy announced to the world in January, with plenty of offseason left, that the payroll would actually be lower this year.
-
If you're looking for a Red Sox fan forum that stays mostly positive, Sons of Sam Horn is the place to be.
-
I think most of the booing of Red Sox fans these days is directed at the guys who run the team-owners and front office. The team itself has provided a lot of pleasant surprises and good moments. But if the rotation falls apart it's gonna be another ugly finish.
-
If the starting pitching continues to unravel, it's yet another case of massive negligence by the Red Sox front office. Not surprisingly there's some chat that other teams have adapted to the changes in pitching approach instituted by Bailey. That's the way this stuff works now. All analytics all the time.
-
To be fair, yes, Grissom was a victim of that tragic fire, but he was also involved in the second space mission, and was prominently featured in The Right Stuff, so he's famous for more than just his sad death.
-
Also Detroit to the 2012 WS, which they lost to the Giants.
-
All our threads eventually become catchall threads.
-
You'e 100% full of s*** with this. Over and over I have conceded the injury risk with Sale, never once denied it. Go ahead and check my posting history. But you have that straw man built and you're not letting it go. Pathetic.
-
They had a clear shot at signing Imanaga. All they had to beat was 4/53. And they were reportedly very interested. They decided to add to their growing legacy as Interest Kings.
-
Do we have more depth without him?
-
If they had signed Giolito AND another legit starter, trading Sale would make more sense, because the numbers would have become unwieldy. I thought that's what they were going to do. But they didn't sign one even after Giolito got injured. That tells you it's all about the budget.
-
So it's time for the real ******** to start.
-
Moving on from Sale would have made sense if they had a surplus in starting pitching. But of course they don't.
-
As with every player in the game.
-
It can fall off rapidly and without warning at any age...
-
Explain the pertinence of the question.
-
Of course not. Team options are advantageous to the team precisely because they can take a wait and see approach.
-
Exactly my point, Hugh. You hope and you cross your fingers.
-
You're just hammering away at the same basic point, which has already been conceded many times over. What about the Story comparison - are you hoping he gets healthy again, or do you wish they would unload him and eat a big chunk of his salary?
-
There was still a real chance of him staying healthy and pitching well again - obviously. The Braves wouldn't have done the deal otherwise. Do we think Trevor Story's career is over because he's had a horrible run of injuries?
