  1. a) That DH's do get injured. Last I checked, it was not playing at all.
  2. It's only recently anybody knew what the hell OPS was. Nobody knows exactly know how to calculate WAR, but it's easy enough to look up.
  3. To me JH seems like he wants to be the smartest guy in the room. Devers getting seriously injured after the team has cashed in for the year would be very un-smart.
  4. Maybe you didn't notice, but our DH has been on the IL a while...
  5. DH's seem to get injured too...
  6. Not when it's the smart move to keep him from getting injured in meaningless games, and dropping in the standings might mean a higher draft pick. And we know JH is all about being smart and patient and not focusing too much on the present.
  7. Kutter Crawford vs. Zack Wheeler How's Dombrowski's team doing the last few years? Haven't really been keeping up.
  8. The thing is though, once they sell off, there are other things that will tend to affect the record in a negative way. Winning games just won't matter any more. That can affect everyone's attitude and the managerial approach. If Devers has a sore knee in August you might tell him to take the rest of the season off.
  9. Oh yeah, if Breslow picks the sell lane, I think we'll be getting back prospects. Personally I'm having nasty visions of 2012 redux. But I have a pessimistic bias these days with the Sox.
  10. I think it'll be hard to win 81 if we move all those guys, with Pivetta being the real killer.
  11. Well, you do like to be deliberately obtuse sometimes.
  12. Probably not, but who says you have to win the division. It's 2024.
  13. They will counteract this potential problem by moving Pivetta, Jansen and O'Neill at the deadline.
  14. Well, let's see. If we're crediting everything to John as you seem to be doing, he's also proven quite conclusively that he can lose, and lose a lot, with a good shot at finishing under .500 for the 7th time in 13 seasons.
  15. As far as I can tell, Sale has a 5.50 ERA in his last 3 starts (with a 2.65 FIP). Two of them were very good. Yes, he had one very bad start.
  16. The suspense is killing me, who is it and why does it matter?
  17. Random variations, nothing new.
  18. Should have read: the 2016 team was 92-64.
  19. And your whole point is based on the totally arbitrary opinion that 93 wins isn't a strong number. All you're looking at is that one number, with no context. The 2016 team had a run differential of 184 for a Pythagorean record of 98-64. They were 88-64, had the division wrapped up and lost 5 of their last 6.
  20. I'm going with zero, as part of my new policy of realistic expectations.
  21. Flexen has a golden opportunity for a perfect game today.
  22. On the plus side, Craig, unlike Bloom, won't have any reason for uncertainty about which lane to pick at this year's trade deadline.
  23. What I'm saying is, any year in which the second place team had 92 wins or less, 93 wins would have sufficed.
