    That's certainly how it works on baseball forums.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Yes, with 20/20 hindsight, very wrong.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Wow, you really are doing your homework.
  4. Bellhorn04
    And that's not wrong, from a selfish perspective. She hurt us.
  5. Bellhorn04
    It might also be worth noting that coming into this season, Vaz had played in 476 MLB games. moon, haven't you determined that it took several years before Varitek became a 'good CERA guy'?
  6. Bellhorn04
    The numbers say one of two things: 1) Plawecki certainly does better with some starters, but Vaz does much much better with the relievers. 2) Screaming randomness.
  7. Bellhorn04
    You mean because of his weak offensive numbers?
  8. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, but forget about the comparison and just look at the numbers for Whitlock and Houck when they throw to Vaz. They're crazy good.
  9. Bellhorn04
    You somehow keep missing the point. I'm talking about the fact you don't want them to bring him back next year.
  10. Bellhorn04
    I am at the point in the season where I will say nothing whatsoever of a predictive nature about the Sox or any other team. Play the games and see what happens. The only thing I will say is that I love how this team is managed by Bloom and Cora.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Here are some CERA/COPS numbers to chew on. Not big samples, obviously, but still. Whitlock Vazquez 62.2 IP 1.58 ERA .590 OPS Plawecki 9.2 IP 4.66 ERA .909 OPS Houck Vazquez 49.1 IP 1.82 ERA .556 OPS Plawecki 28 IP 4.82 ERA .679 OPS Whitlock and Houck are pretty key guys for 2022. Are we sure we don't want Vaz catching them?
  12. Bellhorn04
    My main point about Vazquez is that the Red Sox obviously have invested a lot of faith in his catching skills over the last 5 years or so. Which means the CERA numbers don't influence them much. Cora has been playing him "too much" this year, if anything.
  13. Bellhorn04
    LOL same thing.
  14. Bellhorn04
    So JD should never play again? Is that the basic idea?
  15. Bellhorn04
    And if you sit JDM down, exactly how is he going to get his hitting stroke back? If fans ran the team, Dalbec would have been jettisoned back when his OPS was .600.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Nonsense. The Sox have handled Dalbec beautifully this year. The bellyaching is unbelievable.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Crazy talk.
  18. Bellhorn04
    No, you're arguing to get another starting catcher for 2022 based on CERA.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Eovaldi is doing great with Plawecki so you leave it that way.
  20. Bellhorn04
    That holds true for 2021?
  21. Bellhorn04
    So why do you suppose Cora has trusted Vazquez to catch about 70% of the time this year?
  22. Bellhorn04
    Absolutely. Cora has been a maestro with the pen this year. With the whole team in fact. He knows how to use everybody.
  23. Bellhorn04
    And framing is an important skill. Yeah, I think the team looks more at numbers like that than they do at CERA...
  24. Bellhorn04
    Come on. 2019 sucked for Eovaldi. 2020 was fine. Lumping them together is useless.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I clearly remember in 2019 that a bunch of us thought the return of Leon would save us from Restgate. It didn't happen, the pitching got no better at all. And it was goodbye Sandy.
