    It's possible for the manager to make things worse with his usage, absolutely. I haven't really seen any evidence Cora is misusing anyone. We were hoping Whitlock would be 2021 Whitlock. Instead he's been a big part of the problem lately.

    2025 splits for starters: 1st PA .707 OPS 2nd .707 (not a typo, it's the same) 3rd .757

    Bad bullpens make bad managers. If we had a good bullpen we'd have several more wins and no one would be calling for Cora's head.

    But you'd rather not be the Pirates.

    Why do we love baseball when so often it just kicks you in the head, stomach, butt and privates?

    Can you link that article? Because something there doesn't make sense at all.

    Was referring to 2020 WS G6.

    They've actually blown 11 now, out of 21 opportunities. https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/majors/2025-reliever-pitching.shtml

    It does sound like fun.

    Offseasons are meant for dreaming, and the additions of Crochet and Bregman did make it feel like we were serious again. The bullpen has been absolutely killing us. If we'd hung onto 2-3 of these blown leads we'd be feeling much better about the team. Bad bullpens are death. Maybe Breslow and Bailey were overconfident in this area? I don't know.

    Dancing around the .500 mark starts to lose its charm after 3.25 seasons of it.

    Our 11 blown saves unsurprisingly leads the majors.

    Rafaela has an .850 OPS in May. He has improved his plate approach significantly. He has a 1.6 bWAR in 39 games this year and a 4.4 bWAR in his first 219 major league games. Throw in the extension they gave him, and this is one of the last guys they would want to replace right now.

    Obviously they were counting heavily on Whitlock, and he's been just atrocious of late.

    Mr. Krabs!
  16. Bellhorn04
    The starting pitching hasn't been horrible, outside of Houck, unfortunately.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Our trust level changes from game to game with guys like these, methinks.

    I think in this case it was a combo of the two factors. DD cared about the finances to the extent that JH did. And Zack Scott confirmed that Sox ownership cared deeply about lux tax. He cited it as the main reason they didn't offer Devers an extension early in his career.

    Money always carries the day.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Rusney was the reason for the change!

    With all the money in sports gambling, there's gonna be some fixing. I would think the fixers tend to gravitate toward the less obvious ways to do it - low profile games, prop bets etc.
  22. Bellhorn04
    The problem was that after the Sox took advantage of the luxury tax loophole by moving him off the 40, MLB closed the loophole, which essentially trapped him in AAA. If DD had promoted him for 2 games he would have been back on the lux tax payroll for good. They just didn't think it was worth promoting him to incur that extra tax cost.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Place your bets. My bet is it'll all blow over.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Point is, he ain't gonna be traded.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Devers isn't gonna be traded. Cora will smooth things over. And Devers is raking.
