  1. I know it's not much consolation, but apparently Cora was hoping to pencil Arroyo into leadoff last night, Arroyo couldn't go. As for Santana, and Cordero, well, yeah, Bloom is the guy who acquired these guys to play for us. The bad with the good. I do get the frustration, I just don't think it's Cora's fault.
  2. Sawamura says the MLB baseballs are less tacky than the ones used in Japan, and that MLB should consider a tackier ball as the solution to this issue. Can't really count on Manfred for solutions, though.
  3. I think spin rate came into the lexicon around the same time as launch angle and exit velocity. Not really a fan of any of them, myself.
  4. You'll still out-post us all. Safe travels.
  5. It's easy to say when you win, but Cora also did well leaving E-Rod in for 6 more outs after the Franco homer.
  6. The first one is a little strange, but the other 3 are just the usual vagaries.
  7. There's no chance in hell Cora is moving any of the 4 studs in the order if he hasn't by now. Maybe in August Duran will be our leadoff hitter. Santana did get on base twice last night.
  8. Our bullpen pitched 5 scoreless, 2 of them starting with a man at second. That's pretty damn good.
  9. Still scored 5 runs though.
  10. They've been using Kike, Arroyo, Marwin or Santana at leadoff depending on handedness of starter and matchups. Obviously the results have not been great, but that's what they've been doing.
  11. Maybe listen to 'Black Magic Woman' as well, and see if that does anything for the Mojo of our leadoff hitter.
  12. "Escapes the wrath of Swiharts Ghost because Swiharts Ghost is a wing nut who posts in mad little flurries and then mercifully disappears for weeks or months"
  13. Not exactly a favorable matchup on paper. Although Kittredge is but an opener.
  14. Dalbec is a minimum wage player, that has to be factored in too.
  15. It was a good contract we got on Kimbrel.
  16. Santana, agreed, but Gonzalez will be kept around for his defense at least.
  17. It looks like Larry and you are in agreement. He didn't say anything about deadline trades.
  18. moon loves those garbage dump trades LOL
  19. The "problem" for the 2021 Sox is that you have to do this while also trying to win games, which can limit your "situational flexibility".
  20. Dalbec has now played about half a full season in the bigs. He has 17 HR and a .482 SLG. Isn't that a guy you're willing to give some rope?
  21. But they've also been working with Dalbec on his swing and it seems to have yielded some positive results.
