What does Frenchy have on the Red Sox
Bellhorn04 replied to papajoe222's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
It's more about this year. Cordero has a .448 OPS in 91 PA's, and O homers. No one is saying to DFA him, just to demote him so he can work on his game. -
Red Sox fans have done their share of bitching about medical diagnoses over the years. The most recent example being Sale.
-
Yeah, it's simply incredible that he can't stay healthy even as a DH.
-
Taylor's last 2 outings were 7th inning with 1 run leads. That's a major change from how he was being used earlier.
-
I think we're all guilty of being subject to the recency effect.
-
It's happening.
-
I worry about many things during games. Our bullpen did fine in yesterday's game outside of how things ended. Valdez and Taylor have looked pretty good lately. Sawamura has been mostly good. Ottavino gives heartburn but is not that bad. If necessary, they could move Whitlock to setup man. I'm confident that Bloom and Cora will do a good job.
-
Yep, they get paid to worry about these things.
-
Worrying is pointless LOL
-
Almost every closer is asked for the occasional 4 or 5 out save.

You don't consider a PTBNL a property until they're named? -
They haven't needed him to start yet, all 5 of our starters have been healthy and pitched well. In his last outing he threw 52 pitches, so he could probably throw 4 innings and 60-65 pitches next outing.

Some players' reasonable chances are more limited than others. Some deserve longer or shorter ropes. I don't think that's a controversial position. -
Workman may be in the mix as well.
-
It may not be what you want to hear, but Valdez and Taylor are moving up Cora's confidence ladder, as we saw yesterday.
-
It's not all about the innings, though. Barnes has pitched 4 more innings than Ottavino, but faced 4 fewer batters.

Bradley was a highly-touted homegrown prospect. Cordero was a mystery man tossed into a trade in which we got 4 other properties. -
That particular poster never adds much to the game threads.
-
Corey Seager has a fractured hand. Horrible. An injury like that is career-threatening.
-
I feel a little badly for Trout. He should be on the Red Sox.
-
Sale is an ace. Our 5 guys are all pitching like solid number 2's or 3's. A few years ago I realized that when fans talk about 'aces', the names they raise are almost invariably Hall of Fame shoo-ins or candidates. "Justin Verlander, now that guy's an ace." "No freaking kidding there, Sherlock."
-
I think it was brilliant of the team to have Dalbec in the 9 spot from the get-go. It's like they anticipated he was going to have some early struggles and this gave him the best chance of finding his stroke with the minimal amount of heat on him.
-
Technically, that's true, but the real pressure on the leadoff hitter is that he's supposed to be the guy who gets on base for the run producers behind him.
-
When Ellsbury was struggling at leadoff Tito would move him to the 9 spot and he'd catch fire. It does seem to take some pressure off the hitter.
-
How the heck is anyone supposed to know who would be fatigued by adding 2 IP? The whole reason they allowed teams to carry 14 pitchers was because of COVID. Nobody really knows how the abbreviated 2020 season will affect pitchers' stamina. Right now, Whitlock will be missing a few days because of a bad reaction to his second vaccine shot. There's a lot of crap that hasn't been dealt with before.
