    I don't really get undervaluing from what you quoted in your following post. It seems like they're trying to equalize things as much as possible.
  2. Bellhorn04
    That puts us in a tricky spot, since we can't draft and develop much in the way of starting pitchers.
  3. Bellhorn04
    You can blame Bloom for Rodriguez. He signed him to be our top lefty reliever. Cora is supposed to use him.
  4. Bellhorn04
    If a reliever pitches about 60 innings you should multiply by 3. So a 3 WAR for a reliever is a monster season.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Max, you contradicted yourself. After correctly pointing out that a lot of our scoring was attributable to the Reds using their crappier relievers, you turned around and blamed Cora for not going all in to chase a win.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Yep, crappy starting pitching and crappy defense. Bullpen has largely been great.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Are we really incapable of adjusting for that?
  8. Bellhorn04
    There's always rate calculations...
  9. Bellhorn04
    I get that, but I don't think it makes a sub-zero WAR good.
  10. Bellhorn04
    To be exact, it was 3 games and they traded Vaz. But you already won this argument. They should have cleaned house.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Joely's FIP is much better than his actual ERA. One of those guys. Based on his actual results, he's below replacement level.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Frankly we only have one guy, Sale, who's a good bet to get past 5. Whitlock will become another, hopefully.
  13. Bellhorn04
    2014 Max and Cole. 2 sure things in the last decade. Actually Max was more of an "after the fact" sure thing. Waiting around for sure things just doesn't cut it.

    Once again we made a "gutsy comeback attempt". But there have been too many of those, because we have fallen behind early and big so often. We have all the classic hallmarks of a mildly entertaining .500 team. Yes, I'm depressed about it.
  15. Bellhorn04
    There are very few sure bets with pitchers. The sure bets go for around $324 million now.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Joely's career bWAR, BTW, is -1.2. Expectations shouldn't be very high.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I'm sure he will be.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I guess it depends on whether you think it's important to have a good lefty in the pen.
  19. Bellhorn04
    He's hitting well, no question. The only issue is that he's a high-priced DH. Personally I don't mind having a high-priced DH who can really rake, so I'm good with it.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Right. Kike was the #1 shortstop on Opening Day.
  21. Bellhorn04
    True, but he also has a career fWAR of 1.0 at age 31. He's simply not very good. A Diekman-esque signing.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Yes, it does seem symptomatic of Bloom's questionable "try anything" approach to defense.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I think the 2023 Sox are exactly what their record says right now. We're on pace to win 84 games. It almost seems like that's what Henry and Bloom were shooting for.
  24. Bellhorn04
    It's a toss-up whether that's a Cora problem or a Bloom problem. Bloom could have signed an actual shortstop but he decided that Kike would suffice there.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Don't think anyone said he did.
