  1. The dreaded C word!
  2. I'm pretty sure Bloom isn't even thinking about Judge as an option for the Red Sox. It'd be fun to see the Yanks and maybe the SF Giants get in a little bidding war for him, though.
  3. It's always about money, no doubt about that. We know the owners wanted 14 this year but had to settle for 12. I'm skeptical that 16 playoff teams is anything in the near future.
  4. He had 462 PA's in 2018 and 460 in 2019. Not really "nothing but a backup".
  5. Is "going all out" pretty much the same as "going all in"?
  6. All these guys have talent.
  7. Mine too. Not trying to crucify Bloom just for trading Springs, but our pitching was horrible this year, and Springs was good.
  8. Maybe. We're only at 6 per league right now, so that would be a huge step.
  9. Again, that makes no sense. If Bloom had the right instincts about Springs, he wouldn't have sold low on him.
  10. Speaking of catchers, final CERA numbers for 2022: Wong 3.72 (138.0 IP) Vaz 4.21 (643.1) Plawecki 4.32 (420.2) McGuire 6.33 (229.0)
  11. OK, well, "timing" is just another way of saying "blind luck", no?
  12. There's no perfect way to do it.
  13. How do you watch these games, Larry?
  14. I may have to purchase a special screen cleaner to take care of your oozing sarcasm.
  15. But the teams with the 2 best records in each league deserve an advantage. This new system rewards regular season performance. The Phillies are coping quite well with the disadvantage so far.
  16. "The timing was off" is pretty useless as an explanation for such things. The real questions are how did Perez and Springs get better after leaving the Sox, and why did Bloom think Springs was so expendable on a team desperately in need of pitching?
  17. I'm tempted to put some money on these crazy M's right now!
  18. The Wild Card games in previous years were obviously a crapshoot, and so are the new best-of-threes. Now we have 4 clear-cut favorites in the Yankees, Astros, Dodgers and Braves. Let's see how they do.
  19. Refsnyder joined the team "for good" on June 10. On June 26 the Red Sox were 42-31, their high point over .500 for the season. Ergo, Refsnyder was not "too late" and that was not really a significant part of the team's problems this year.
  20. Cot's is not much good any more. Notice how they just removed traded guys like Bradley and Vaz from the 2022 numbers? We need another source for payroll.
  21. $150/6 is right, but it won't be enough. $180/7 might be the absolute ceiling for the Red Sox, but that's just a guess of course.
  22. Good post. We need a like button or something here.
  23. Keith Law Kimmi Slasher Larry Cook notin That's your fearsome fivesome right there.
  24. No, but he'll surely get more than the 3/$60 that was left on his deal.
