  1. Cease and Desist this idea. He's just not pitching very well.
  2. I would submit that most of it is physical and scientific development of pitchers' arms to throw with much more velocity and spin.
  3. The good news, as such, is that you can still have an exciting and eventful game like last night in spite of so many guys swishing up a storm. Just have to reduce expectations for what constitutes good baseball, I guess.
  4. 100% danny. Pitching has advanced to an almost absurd level. We've reached the point that a guy who throws in the low 90's is a soft tosser.
  5. Lackey for Kelly and Craig was a dubious trade, but Kelly pitched great in the 2018 postseason.
  6. I must say this post-ASB schedule for the Sox was borderline sadistic.
  7. I could see this thread was going to have a dearth of material so I threw one out there that I knew was questionable. 😉
  8. Trading Priester looks worse all the time. I like Breslow but he needs to not trade away starting pitchers any more.
  9. OK, this is the third response so now I'm going to pivot. Boddicker chocked in Game 3 of the 1988 ALCS and that impaired my opinion of him. I was expecting him to be Johnny Clutch for us in that game and he got lit up. 😛
  10. Gagne was dreadful but he did at least pitch some innings that might have gone to Papelbon or Okajima so there may have been some benefit. It was a logical move and they won the ring so I've never faulted Theo for that one.
  11. And what do you think are the actual chances of Breslow acquiring 2 starters and replacing Cora? The chances are zero so why bother engaging in such fanciful thinking?
  12. I already conceded the point once.
  13. Yeah, you're right. It was really hard to think of any besides Bagwell. The Sox bad trades have been in the offseasons.
  14. Schilling and Anderson for Boddicker, 1988.
  15. There has been a lot of swing and miss in their game since 2019.
  16. He knew it would be a problem. He was right.
  17. Sorry but how is this even a question when you just saw what actually happened when they tried moving Devers around? Devers was the guy with the monster contract and big ego who was promised he would be staying at third. It was a problem waiting to happen.
  18. What exactly makes you think Abreu is a platoon hitter and Duran isn't? You've been saying this over and over. But Duran's numbers against lefties are lousy too.
  19. To me 'future gazing' and 'wait till next year' can be one and the same. Trading Chapman is a wait till next year move. Gleyber has averaged 3.0 bWAR per 162 games. A little above average but he hasn't lived up to expectations.
  20. In his first 29 games with them he has a .333 SLG. He may not be 100%, again...
  21. Might have been possible if they ate half or so. Money was tight in those days though. 😉
  22. To each their own. I've had enough of the future-gazing. But the fact I'm pushing 70 might have something to do with that.
  23. Run scoring is a problem all across baseball. Red Sox 4.90 per game Phillies 4.57 per game Average team 4.39 per game Pitching is dominant in this game.
