That sure sounds like a "should have known" argument. They should have known Sale would get injured again, that Paxton wouldn't be able to pitch, that Houck's last game would be August 2, that Story would get hurt again etc.
-
I think a lot of old schoolers can probably wrap their heads around ERA+...
-
Well, it's not just about pissed fans, either. It's about disinterested fans who find better things to do than watch a post-fire sale mess. You don't have to be pissed to do that. The team front office has to strike a balance between what's good for the team and what's good for business.

The fanbase is made up of a wide assortment of human beings of all ages. And the large majority of them are not as "sophisticated" about all the nuances as we are. They are much more interested in the team on the field than they are about the future implications of not trading JD Martinez at the deadline. Many of them shell out substantial sums to go to the games or watch on NESN. It's those fans I'm thinking about when I say you can't have a fire sale when you're 3 games out of the playoffs with 2 months to go.

True, but his September ERA is 2.54, and his postseason ERA is 0.79 in 11.1 IP.
-
That should settle that.
-
The choice of words definitely needs an upgrade. The word that used to be popular was "passionate".
-
I wouldn't, because as noted, Lopez is only 2 years of control, and 2023 doesn't look like a championship run.
-
True that. My present obsession is signing Andrus, of course...
-
It does seem like a recipe for disaster.
-
Personally I think Boras is right. The Sox weren't really committed to keeping Bogey, largely because their focus was retaining Devers. And I understand that.
-
Wasn't Plawecki a decent CERA guy?
-
They can do whatever they want, honestly, it's not an important issue for me.
-
Personally, I'm starting to regain some confidence in the Sox front office. Liked the Kluber signing, loved the Raffy extension, liked the Duvall signing. We're not punting and the future is looking up. Now sign Andrus or come up with a legit shortstop some other way...
-
Quite frankly, 29 should keep him off the list altogether. Not that I care that much about it.
-
Things are looking up in the youth movement, no question.
-
Seems totally arbitrary. Do a bunch of guys vote and then they count up the votes? I don't know what the process is.
-
Lucky he got a job at all.
-
Seems to me like a sensible strategy for this year.
-
About 6 mill.
-
Incorrect number, though. They paid $1.2 mill but were over by $6 mill. Per Cot's: 2022: $1,229,936 tax on CBT payroll of $236,149,678 with $230M threshold and a rate of 20 percent as a first-time payor.
-
Trading Pivetta would be madness IMO. We're going to need his innings.
-
I don't think so.
-
Only $1.2 mill? As my late father would say: "Cripes".
-
Well, we've reached the stage of being a somewhat interesting mishmash, at least...
