    Yes, Dalbec's demotion is official.
  2. Bellhorn04
    And if Yoshida continues to flail they'll have to make a move. Can he be sent to Worcester?
  3. Bellhorn04
    Read elsewhere that Refsnyder has been dealing with a sore right knee and that's why he was out last night.

    You've never had to talk me off any ledges about Yoshida. It was a terrible signing, I haven't changed my position on that one iota. As I've said, he's a sunk cost. Cora doesn't bench anyone, that's the point. He manages to get everyone AB's. If a guy does badly for an extended period like Cooper, he's gone. You can't make out the lineup card every game based on who's been hot over the last few games, that would be nonsensical. With the number of AB's Yoshida has, 2 good games and his OPS would jump 50 points or more.

    They did split a couple of series with the Jays this year.

    City Connect jerseys showcase the vibrant and distinct culture of their team and their city.

    There are other iconic MLB uniforms. In any case, not sure what it would have to do with electing not to ever wear the City Connect jerseys.

    As for the "flashpoint" thing, moon, that's basically one of the consequences of averaging 10,000 posts a year.
  9. Bellhorn04
    How is he supposed to "earn" it? Like I said, he had a 110 OPS+ last year in his first season. That makes him a little closer to an established MLB hitter than the other guys we're talking about. Plus he's had injury issues this year. It's pretty hard to earn anything when you're not in the lineup. I think Cora is a master at juggling all the lineup conundrums and giving everyone a fair shot. If Yoshida doesn't start to produce, at some point he will get squeezed out. But that time isn't here yet.
  10. Bellhorn04
    He's also had various health issues that may or may not have impacted the decisions. In the last 9 games vs. Philly, NYY and Toronto, he was in the starting lineup 7 times.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Right. moon wants everything to be a little too simple - just keep playing the 'hot hands' until they cool off, and since Yoshida isn't hot, bench him or get him out of a Red Sox uniform altogether.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I think it's pretty simple. Cora will get everyone at-bats, and the guys who keep hitting will get more of them. Yoshida had a 110 OPS+ in his first MLB season, so I don't see writing him off just yet. Doesn't mean it was a good signing. The most obvious odd man out right now is Grissom.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Hamilton has a 1.1 fWAR/1.3 bWAR in 157 PA's. That's not a guy you bench.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Another Freudian.

    Never Trust a Prankster.

    Anything is possible in baseball. I think we really saw some reasons for optimism in this last stretch of 9 games. The offense took off while the pitching stayed solid. I'm not sure how the offense broke out the way it did, but maybe it's some good analytics/coaching going on behind the scenes. Plus O'Neill being healthy etc.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Well, I do like the fact we had a run differential of +17 in these last 9 games against the Phils, Yanks and Jays.
  18. Bellhorn04
    So you honestly believe they're going to be 41-46 in their last 87?
  19. Bellhorn04
    With a Pythagorean record of 42-33 after a pretty tough stretch of games, I'd say they've moved up to better than mediocre.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I think they're on the ascent, but it's baseball, so we shall see.
  21. Bellhorn04
    You're right, it's just fun to say we're throwing Fitts.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Yoshida isn't going anywhere, not this year at least. He's the prototypical sunk cost. Let's just hope he stays well and heats up.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Creating havoc on the bases is great, but first you have to get on the bases, and they have been doing a much better job of that too.
  24. Bellhorn04
    The roster of the 2024 Red Sox is a product of the combined efforts of Dombrowski, Bloom and Breslow, and even Cherington (Devers), and if you really want to stretch it, Epstein, because of the returns on the Betts trade. Leave it to the Sox to have a team put together by 5 CBO's.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Excellent Freudian slip there LOL
