    Spider Tack enforcement started June 21, and his ERA was still 0.47 on August 1, so it may be something else.

    Kimbrel has gone from a 0.49 ERA with the Cubs to a 7.15 ERA with the White Sox!

    If Cora used Whitlock as much as fans would like, Garrett would be waiting for his second Tommy John surgery right now. Cora is managing the pitching as best he can with what he's got.

    And I agree that Henry pulled the plug on DD at the right time, and I'm glad he was replaced by Bloom.

    The only question is whether there was really a 'cliff', when the only truly bad season was 60 games long.
  6. Bellhorn04
    His is the funniest, but mine is the actual answer.
  7. Bellhorn04
    JD had a 9 game slump and some of the Talksox intelligentsia thought he should be benched for multiple games as a result. Some of us, including moon and myself, disagreed.
  8. Bellhorn04
    I know exactly why he used Perez there. The second and third Cleveland batters due up were LH hitters and Perez has good numbers against LH hitters.

    The Globe site.

    I predicted 25-12 in their last 37, in my disappointingly ignored poll thread (except for you and Kimmi). So I need 22-12 to be right.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, the thing is, I assume Xander wouldn't have signed that deal without the opt-out. He got security plus flexibility. So it's all academic. But to play with the hypothetical, I'm not sure how big the return would be, because it would be a large chunk of money assumed by the acquiring team. Maybe there are some reasonable comps?
  12. Bellhorn04
    There's no such thing as 'peaking too early'.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Cora could use the 'shoot till you miss' rule with closers. You have the job until you blow a save. Then it's next guy up.
  14. Bellhorn04
    But many of us feared he was in decline after 2020 as well. There was a poster on the other site, Spaceman Eephus, who used to refer to hitting and pitching as the 'dark arts' or words to that effect. I thought that was perfect, because it captured that what makes guys go on good streaks or bad ones is often a complete mystery. No one knows how JD will do the rest of the way.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Sorry, I missed the hypothetical part.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Whatever the standard calculation is.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Let's make it 87.5 then. That's 7 out of 8.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Dalbec's 2021 OPS vs. RHP is now .700 and rising. He's been getting a fair number of starts vs. righties.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Which might be a lose-lose.
  20. Bellhorn04
    From what I've seen, Alex Cora is a guy who tries to use everybody at his disposal. So no matter what we see going forward, no one who's contributing will stay on the bench for long stretches.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Can't just put JD on the bench.
  22. Bellhorn04
    That's a good point. He likely opts in, with all that uncertainty.
  23. Bellhorn04
    As you know, selling low is not the best way to go.
  24. Bellhorn04
    STORK is a low-level troll. Don't let him hurt your brain, put him on Ignore like I did.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Which is exactly $10 mill more than STORK's opinions are worth.
