Roster Fiends!
-
Which makes sense. Blogger OTOH is clearly a moron.
-
Ohtani is an incredible talent but a problematic investment, because he carries just as much risk as every other pitcher who's had Tommy John surgery.
-
It's not actually a rumor, it's just some blogger's wild speculation. The funniest part is when the blogger says "even that may not be enough".
-
Sorry man, it's how we roll here. We're nuts.
-
Hmmm, that sounds familiar...it's like Groundhog Year!
-
And you can't really plan around the possibility of the game going to extras...not in a regular season game, anyway.
-
(In first with) Baseball Trade Values.
-
But in the last 3 games it's 1.008.
-
Got it.
-
But what would it take to entice the A's to trade Sears?
-
A deadline trade for a pitcher with a lot of years of control left is pretty rare, I would say. Last year the Mariners traded for Castillo and then signed him to an extension, which is a different way to go about it.
-
So the theory is that Bloom keeps signing Kike only because Cora wants him to?
-
And here are Barnes's OPSa by month for 2022: Mar-Apr .633 May .909 June-July IL Aug .589 Sep .590 So May was the one awful month, and then he went on the IL.
-
And look at Duvall. He struggled mightily after coming back from the IL, but he might be starting to get it back now. And his season OPS stands at .850. But some here wanted to bury him on the bench.
-
What? In that Jays game I said he was the 6th reliever used and I said he only gave up a walk. Both indisputable facts. No idea what your first sentence means.
-
Now you're talking about a different game. The game against the Jays was the first extra inning game. Anyway, I think it's time to drop this. I'm a Cora fanboy, as I've admitted. I'm surprised at how much you're blaming him for using Barnes as the 6th, 5th and 5th reliever in games. But we all have our opinions and complaints. Hell, I'm still not convinced Reese McGuire's inflated CERA isn't indicative of a real problem.

I've been meaning to start a thread about closers, borrowing your phrase "Closin' ain't easy" as the title. One of these days I'll get it going.

The Red Sox starting rotation -- long term

Right. I had a feeling I was missing one. -

Red Sox have had the following Japanese pitchers I can think of: Nomo Saito Dice-K Okajima Uehara Sawamura -
The reality was he was the 6th reliever used, faced 2 batters, walked one and struck out one, didn't give up the game-winning sac fly, wasn't charged with an earned run, and based on this you're trying to hang Cora for using him in an extra inning game.
-
Yes, because notin won't stop re-litigating an April/22 game in which Matt Barnes gave up a walk.
-
He'd also be 3rd in fWAR among position players, behind only Duran and Verdugo.
-
As mentioned, Barnes didn't face Guerrero. And Strahm was the guy who got walked off. Edit: Also, Strahm had pitched the previous game, going 1/3 of inning, giving up 3 hits, being charged with 2 runs and the loss.
-
In the game Strahm relieved him, Barnes faced 3 batters, all RH batters. Intentional BB to Vlad Jr., BB to Kirk, struck out Chapman. Strahm came in and gave up the game winning sac fly to Tapia. So the total damage by Barnes was one walk. The run scored because of the Manfred Man.
