  1. It's pretty simple. If you're out of it you trade guys with expiring contracts. If you're still in it you don't.
  2. I hope we're not going to have the discussion again about trading guys at the deadline when we're still in contention.
  3. Only if we're out of it.
  4. Eovaldi for 3 years is the answer. But like I say, he'll be looking for more.
  5. Assuming he has a good 2022, Eovaldi is going to be more expensive than he's worth. I'd offer him 3 @ $20, but he'll likely want and get considerably more, and not from us.
  6. This Red Sox-Twins game lasted 2:45. That's not bad.
  7. As I said 5-2 should be a QS now.
  8. Very good.
  9. Sorry Max, your position has been litigated and lost and your complaints are a bit pointless now.
  10. Wow, short thread. Good solid pitching today. Let's get over .500 tomorrow.
  11. In incremental terms, all they offered was 1 year @ $30 mill.
  12. I also agree with Kimmi's point that if Quality Start doesn't work for you, just go with Game Score. It's much less arbitrary.
  13. Personally I have no problem with 6 and 3 being a Quality Start. It's the 6 innings part that matters most. I get the 4.50 ERA argument. You're going to have to establish an arbitrary baseline somewhere. When you give 6 and 3 you're presumably turning the game over to your best relievers, who should arguably only give up 1 run in 3 innings. And then there's the High Quality Start, which I believe is 7 and 2.
  14. But Game Score rewards volume of innings, correct?
  15. David Price looked like pure quality when we signed him too. He helped win a title but has mostly been in the baggage department. And Sale is a great pitcher who they obviously thought would not be spending so little time on the field. We (the royal we) can find examples to support any position.
  16. I guarantee that was supposed to be 5 and 2.
  17. But a big part of the idea of the Quality Start was giving some length, not overly taxing the pen, and not giving the other team a shot at your middle relievers, which at one time was the 'dregs' of the bullpen. 3 & 0 obviously doesn't fit that bill. However, as the game changes to a total staff game, 3 & 0 does become more valuable.
  18. Pivetta is without quality today.
  19. You have to draw the line somewhere. Or, we can just have "Quality Outing" that applies to all pitchers, but that might be overkill.
  20. There have been some players who do like staying put. Wakefield and Ortiz come to mind. They kept taking short deals and not testing free agency.
  21. 5 and 2 is clearly the new QS.
  22. SPLINTER is usually very reliable. But the clock is indeed ticking.
