What are the chances of Porcello being offered a contract extension?
Kimmi replied to TylerD's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I am one of Porcello's biggest supporters and defenders. I would not offer him more than three years. -
What are the chances of Porcello being offered a contract extension?
Kimmi replied to TylerD's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Just the mere fact that Porcello pitched 8 innings is big accomplishment that goes highly unappreciated, never mind that is was a shutout 8 innings. Our bullpen has been used a lot from our starters being knocked out early. He allowed the pen some valuable rest, which it turned out, came in handy the following night. -
No, the pen has exceeded your expectations. Some of us have been fine with the pen all along.

Just Say No to Mejia.

I am not down on Swihart. I have always liked the guy. I think he could have and might still be good, given the proper chance. That said, when it came down to a choice between Swihart or either Vaz/Leon, I am 100% going with the latter.

I would never think of you as dumb, Oldtimer. FTR, I just copied that tweet from another site. I can understand why people want to move him to 1B. He will likely eventually end up there. Personally, I think it's too early to give up on him at 3B though.
-
Offensively, yes. That was never the issue.

Red Sox Notes @SoxNotes 9m9 minutes ago Lowest starting pitcher ERA in the AL since Apr. 12: 1. Red Sox – 3.29 2. Yankees – 3.56 3. Rays – 3.76 4. Astros – 3.86

I have no problems with your poll either. Simple yes or no question, and the correct answer is 'no'.
-
I think there is a lot of question as to who is the better player. Swihart has proven nothing yet.

Station 13 and Seagal Mojo We got this!

5/1 vs Oakland Athletics
Kimmi replied to Station 13's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Congrats Tyler! I'm really happy and excited for you. -
Hmm. I'm wondering if I should feel offended that I appear to be the only one who has not received such lovely PMs.

WMB's K/W ratio 5.08. That's atrocious.

Back to back to back to back.

The annual Jackie Bradley Jr thread (2019 Edition)
Kimmi replied to Station 13's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I agree. IMO, defense, in general, does not get the merit it deserves. -
It was never a choice between Leon or Vazquez. Vazquez is a highly touted defensive catcher in his own right. It was a decision between Leon or Swihart. No contest who is better defensively between those two.

Red Sox Stats @redsoxstats · 20h Devers is hitting .299/.387/.371 and his average launch angle is rocketing upward. Devers made 68% of routine plays as a rookie, he made 70% last season, he is making 76% this season. League average 3B makes 72%. His range is excellent. He's been -1 defensive run this season, so league average. People that want to move him off 3B are legitimately dumb.

4/30 vs Oakland Athletics
Kimmi replied to Station 13's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
My man. Except for when you call Cherington bad names. -
I agree with all of that. I'm wondering, though, if the rotation, the offense, and the defense were all solid and the BP were blowing games, would you be saying the same thing, or would you be blaming the 'economical' pen?
-
The bullpen has not been the problem. As somebody pointed out this off season, if the team fails to make the playoffs, it will be because the rotation or the offense or both are not getting it done.
-
I can't imagine that they made this decision on a whim. I can't imagine they re-signed Pearce, then decided they were going to stay under the next tax limit. They almost certainly knew how much they were willing to spend this off season before they made any signings.
-
I recall a strong positive reaction to the Pearce signing as well.
-
The Sox will make the playoffs.
-
It seems that his bat is ready, but he was not ready defensively. He's in the same boat as Devers was. Devers has not taken the next step yet, like we all hoped he would, either offensively or defensively. Not saying that he won't, but he has not progressed much since being called up. Perhaps we are doing these youngsters a disservice by calling them up before they are ready.
