    I also have an online subscription to The Athletic. But I am sorry I will never reach your level.

    Small market teas - sounds like a nice Sunday morning.

    Unsurprisingly, I think Tomase's article is largely just more speculative hogwash.
  4. Bellhorn04
    I think the intention may have been a 6-out save? Or hope the Yankees add on in the top of the 9th type thing.

    I think Dalbec will still start against lefties, and get some other AB's at third and DH.

    I'm an uninformed schlub in your eyes because I prefer the Globe to WEEI and NESN. Got it, Nick.

    "Flashpoint" - excellent word. That might be the theme for next year. Flashpoint '23!
  8. Bellhorn04
    Okay. Nobody's perfect.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Who's your closer now?
  10. Bellhorn04
    But it's okay for you to call Dalbec Booby, right? You are too much. Another plan comes together, I guess.
  11. Bellhorn04
    I have to admit I don't watch enough games to speak to it. What I gathered is that he has a very strong arm but tends to take too many chances and make wild throws, and his range is not great.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I'll also think of those numbers when anyone talks about JH being "distracted" by his other ventures.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Oh sure, blame it on Cora!
  14. Bellhorn04
    And that's a fair question, but others have tried to explain how it isn't always that easy to just grab the player you want from another team mid-season. "Booby D" though? That's just rude.

    You know what, though? I'll bet Bloom would have gotten hammered no matter what he did. Fire sale? Oh yeah, sure, let's treat the fans to the end of 2012 all over again. Go for it big time? What a fool, throwing away good prospects on a slim chance at a playoff run. Don't do much either way? Indecisive bum!
  16. Bellhorn04
    I don't know, cp, most of the posters here now seem to agree that the Sale extension was a massive blunder. And I've been one of the few who has tried to defend DD on that one.

    Zobrist was so good at it that he ended up getting a 4 year/56 million payday from Theo's Cubs. And he played on back-to-back World Series winners, the 2015 Royals and the 2016 Cubs.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Ben Zobrist, right?
  19. Bellhorn04
    It looks like s*** now, absolutely. The reasons it may have been done: 1) Upgrade our defense which was a big weakness last year. 2) Renfroe seemed liked a good candidate to regress. 3) JBJ seemed like a candidate to bounce back with the stick (whoops). 4) We got 2 prospects in the deal.
  20. Bellhorn04
    What people seem to be overlooking is that Bloom has been trying to put the 2021 and 2022 teams together on a limited budget. That's why the first base situation happened. Plan A was for minimum wager Bobby Dalbec to fit the bill. And there were some indications he could do it. There was also the hope that Casas might be ready this year. The limited budget is why Bloom went for some of these temporary stopgap measures and in the process he may have gotten a little too creative or clever, with things like Cordero at 1B and Arroyo in RF. They backfired and there's no way around that.
  21. Bellhorn04
    JBJ's contract with the Brewers was like this: 2021 salary 6.5 mill 2022 salary 9.5 mill 2023 team option 12 mill with buyout of 8 mill The total guaranteed was 2 years and 24 mill, which resulted in an AAV of 12 mill. The Brewers only paid the 2021 salary of 6.5 mill. The Sox pay 9.5 mill plus the 8 mill buyout for a total of 17.5 mill.

    Northern Star said "Mr October my ass", so I was primarily responding to that.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Some might say Bloom jumped on a good opportunity. I guess it all depends on how you frame it.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Not really worrying about it. Just trying to explain the reasoning.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I'm looking forward to seeing it myself.
