  1. Excellent starting point, thanks.
  2. I'll start an Out of Town Scoreboard thread soon to track how all these guys are going.
  3. They wouldn't beat the Cubs' guarantee of $53 million. Very indicative of their disciplined approach the last few years.
  4. Yeah, you wonder if he did or didn't do something that caused him to fall out of favor. It makes the team look pretty dysfunctional when you have Pablo Reyes being treated like a key to the offense while Yoshida is the $18 million Designated Sitter. The team always looks more dysfunctional after back to back crappy losses, mind you.
  5. It has definitely gotten weird with Yoshida. Could make a good little subplot for the Netflix doc.
  6. It's actually the injury situation that's been keeping Yoshida as our $18 million Designated Sitter the last few games. There's just no place to put him if Devers is DH'ing.
  7. Cora values defense!
  8. Hey, his ratio is 1:1 in the last 2 games so things are improving rapidly!
  9. I think Vegas was being facetious with that comment.
  10. Sorry, I mis-read what you said. I fixed it.
  11. Yes, he did. But maybe JH's message to the rest of the front office or his thinking was something like this: "I'll do this, but we're still gonna keep our total payroll out of the Top 10 and under the tax threshold."
  12. No matter what you think about Bauer, if you think the Red Sox would even contemplate signing him, you're not really paying a lot of attention to the way stuff works in Boston. The Sox got crushed for Dermody, and he's an altar boy compared to Bauer.
  13. Sorry moon, that's very unsound reasoning. He can steal a base after a regular old single too. Plus he could get picked off or caught stealing. .666 just isn't a good result for those 9 PA's. It's not terrible. It's mediocre.
  14. 3 for 9, all singles, only yields the Satanic OPS of .666. Considering how fast Duran is, this seems more like an explanation of why it's not done more. Small sample, needless to say.
  15. It just seems like they've given up on him improving already...
  16. The premise that the injury epidemic started around 2014 seems to be based on TJ surgery stats. But what about all the injuries that don't lead to TJ surgery? Maybe this needs a more detailed examination.
  17. The modern statcastic era has birthed a new species: the Deep Diving Debbie Downer.
  18. Breslow and Bailey are pulling some rabbits out of their hats so far. They may need to pull a few more.
  19. Abreu now has a career OPS of .902. That works.
  20. It can't be ruled out, but Pedro Martinez and Justin Verlander don't think it's the pitch clock that's the issue. It's that everyone is throwing with maximum velocity and spin on every pitch.
  21. Casas's fracture was likely a stress fracture, right? The break occurred on one swing but the bone was probably weakened from the stress his swing put on it over time.
  22. Yes, it's been brutal. The only positive is that as far as we know everyone except Giolito, Story and Casas should be back fairly soon.
  23. Was Whitlock always projected to be in the rotation ahead of Houck and Crawford? I don't recall that being reported. I think they were all in the mix. Giolito going down simplified matters.
  24. But he'll probably get a job anyway.
  25. I think it's really 50% of the rotation, since we still have Bello, Houck and Crawford. Obviously if all were healthy someone would be in the pen.
