And Odor has been barely above replacement over the same period. That's why I wonder if Cash is losing it.
-
Well, they could just replace the Power Rankings with the Actual Current Standings. But that would be a tad redundant.
-
It's still too early to say. Kluber or Taillon might start to click. They're getting back Severino and Britton. Don't get me wrong, I'm hopeful that they continue to 'underachieve'. The fact that their offensive 'depth' is Bruce and Odor is making me very happy at the moment.
-
Are you trying to suggest the 'Power Rankings' could possibly be meaningless and best simply ignored? Blasphemy!
-
Such is life, man. Whether it's American presidents, Canadian prime ministers or baseball commissioners, the scum rises to the top.

The bottom line is we've been very lucky, winning championships even as Henry keeps changing GM's. Hopefully we'll have some stability now. Supposedly that's exactly why they hired Bloom. Can't knock the 4 titles since Henry took over. That's twice as many as the Yankees and Dodgers combined since then. Nice to see you back here posting BTW.

Vegas would give you odds to bet the Sox finish ahead of the Yanks. If you get decent odds it might be worth a play.

"Crying home about" - not sure if that's you meant to type, but it works.
-
The bottom line is, they're gonna do what they're gonna do, and we have no say in the matter. The only thing I'm wondering is which ideas belong to our old friend Theo.

ERA is going to be a flawed stat regardless of whether you're a starter or reliever. A starter's ERA can often be affected by circumstances and managerial decisions. For a recent example you have Pivetta's last start. He had given up 1 run through 5 and the Sox were up 10-1. Cora elected to squeeze another inning out of him, trying to save the bullpen an inning in a blowout. Pivetta gave up 3 in the 6th. If Cora had pulled him after 5, Pivetta would now have an ERA of 0.90. (1 run in 10 innings.) Instead he has an ERA of 3.27. (4 runs in 11 innings.)

Please elaborate.

I can't argue when all 3 of those former GM's won titles, and the new guy looks like such a good one. It's not like Henry is replacing good guys with bums.
-
And if it's Keith, it's way too early in the day to be playing.
-
The weather forecasts here are bang on most of the time. They get some storms wrong, but I figure that has a lot to do with us sitting on the Atlantic Ocean...
-
"Coddled" - good word.
-
Yeah, but we want Downs to be real good, right?
-
Rodon threw 114 pitches last night. Which is a pretty low count for 9 innings, but a high count by modern standards, especially in the second start of the season. So he might be on a reduced pitch count Monday.
-
Bloom wanted young talent only. The Twins did nicely getting Maeda. What's really amazing is how easily the Dodgers could afford to let Maeda go.
-
I thought Talksox regulations prohibited floating predictions.
-
Yes, I heard someone else comment on how this might not be the best thing for the health of pitchers.
-
It seems like it might be more aimed at the use of an 'opener' and 'bullpen games'. I can't imagine many managers would let this rule dictate when it's the right time to remove their starter.
-
The first one is designed to create more offense. The second one? I have no freaking idea what this is supposed to accomplish as far as making the game better or more interesting.

Absolutely brilliant get by Bloom.

For once they did it the way we wanted LOL
