  1. When the Yanks are on a roll, his testicles grow with every passing day.
  2. It would be pretty brutal if they don't keep any of the big 4-Bogey, Devers, JDM and Eovaldi. Bloom might be fine with it, but Henry and Werner have always had a bit of an eye on the PR part of the equation.
  3. Eovaldi, Bogey and JDM seem pretty juvenated, no?
  4. Story has had a few things to contend with mentally. He went from being the shortstop for Colorado to the second baseman for the Red Sox. And I'm sure he's not unaware of the hue and cry about Bogey's contract situation. And then he gets off to a rough start.
  5. And Semien signs a huge contract and is off to a terrible start in 2022. It's a funny game.
  6. Bashing Bradley is more about bashing Bloom for the trade and the fact we're paying him $12 million.
  7. That's something that's not necessarily Cora's decision. Whitlock is obviously a very important guy to the team and they have a plan on how to use him and develop him. The fact we don't have an obvious closer (given Barnes's uncertain status) was Bloom's call.
  8. The other teams' pitching has been a problem.
  9. How does that xBA compare to his 2021 number?
  10. There's something desperately wrong with the hitting approach. Is it Fatse? I have no idea, but I've never seen such sustained futility. Dalbec looks like permanent toast, I fear. And Bradley is getting close as well.
  11. Alex Speier sums up the horrorshow rather eloquently April’s grim conclusion arrived in familiar fashion for the Red Sox. The season’s dizzying first month was characterized primarily by a woeful offense that scored two or fewer runs 10 times in 22 contests. That offensive outage, in turn, placed immense pressure on a pitching staff whose formless bullpen often toppled in narrow defeats. Those elements were on display Saturday night at Camden Yards, where the Sox wasted a brilliant performance by starter Nate Eovaldi in a dispiriting 2-1, walkoff loss to the Orioles that concluded a 9-13 month of April that included an 0-4 record in extra-inning games and a 3-6 mark in one-run contests.
  12. Red...this is disappointing.
  13. But for pitching fWAR they use FIP.
  14. Fangraphs says he has a -0.1 WAR this year, after a -1.5 WAR last year. Don't they take all that stuff into account?
  15. When Hill pitches well he's a "crafty old southpaw". When he pitches badly he's an "aging junkballer".
  16. The difference being that JBJ had the sub .500 OPS last year, so there are legit reasons to be concerned that he's not going to bounce back. Dalbec is on thin ice too.
  17. Yes, but a continued sub .500 OPS would be a problem.
  18. I'd call it "hopeful theorizing".
  19. Funny game, ain't it?
  20. Everybody knows about Story's home/road splits. What's not publicized as much is that Bogaerts's road OPS is .756. So that would be "not good" in your books too, right? Edit Ha, talk about getting beat to the punch!
  21. Cool! Gotta like guys like that.
