    I think both the Red Sox and Yankees will take care of business against the other teams. There are 10 games remaining between the rivals, 7 at Fenway, 3 at Yankee Stadium. Those games could be the difference, with those being the Yankees' best chance of gaining ground on us. If the Sox at least split the remaining games with the Yankees, I think the division is ours.

    Mapping it out, Price is currently scheduled to pitch Game 3 against the Yankees. With the injuries to ERod, Pom, and Wright, I really can't see the Sox scheduling Price to miss that series. Even without the injuries, I think it would be a bad idea to skip Price's turn against the Yankees anyway. For one, I think it sends the wrong message to Price. For two, the optics all around would be bad. For three, we need Price to be good in high stakes games. The only way to do that is to throw him right back out there.

    According to both Baseball Prospectus and Fangraphs, the Yankees have the 2nd easiest second half schedule, behind only the Guardians. The Sox are roughly middle of the pack in terms of remaining schedule.

    LOL Post of the day Oldtimer.

    He does seem to be unduly criticized.

    Boone is obviously afraid of the Sox, as he should be.

    #Letthestatgeeksvote I can understand the love for Trout, but I don't understand such a wide difference between the votes for him and Mookie. I would like to give a shout out to Trout for the way he has handled Manfred's comments about not making himself more marketable, and also for placing more importance on playing baseball over marketing himself. Nicely done.

    The funny thing is, we have a Yankees poster here with the username "Meh". If I were him, I'd be afraid. Very afraid.

    If/when Pedroia is ready to retire as a player, making him a coach with the same pay is a great idea. I get the impression that he is not ready to do so yet.

    For all of my eye test loving peeps, here is some analytical support for you regarding JD's defense. Enjoy. JD Might Not Be As Bad Defensively As Kimmi Thought He Was
  11. Kimmi
    Yup. It would have been terrible had he gone to the Yankees.
  12. Kimmi
    Exactly. He stated very early that he wanted to see more aggressiveness. I don't remember the exact numbers now, but it was amazing how many middle-middle pitches our hitters took, and if I recall correctly, Mookie and Xander were at or near the top of the chart. It's a completely different story this year.

    I am very glad that the Machado sweepstakes are over, and I'm very glad that he went to the Dodgers. I also have to think that the Dodgers feel that they will be able to lock Machado up long term.

    In all honesty, I typed this reply with 'meh' before I read Soxhop's rant. That said, if the urge hits me to use the word 'meh' in a reply, which I don't do often so it's kind of ironic that I did so here, I will use the word 'meh' in a reply. Soxhop, I give you permission, in advance, to go off on me.

    I agree that it usually makes more sense to wait until midseason to see how players are performing and to see exactly what our needs are when you're talking about big league contracts. That said, adding the dumpster dive depth type pitchers on minor league contracts really doesn't hurt anything. They may amount to nothing, but they might actually end up being able to contribute.
  16. Kimmi
    Oops.

    Nicely done. I would really like to give a shout out to Barnes, who I think it doing much better than some give him credit for. In terms of WAR, Barnes is on par with Kimbrel.

    I get that a rental won't affect the coming years, but I would also hope that if the FO does choose to go over, it wouldn't be for a rental. Meh, I just think it would be a bad decision all around.
  19. Kimmi
    Well said Oldtimer.
  20. Kimmi
    Personally, I think that people who were not necessarily the best players can be great coaches/managers. Aside from that, I'm not talking about Cora fixing or tweaking the mechanics of any of the batters, but rather changing their approach at the plate.
  21. Kimmi
    LOL Things are more random than they appear!
  22. Kimmi
    Great news. Needless to say, it would be huge if we can get the good Pomeranz back.
  23. Kimmi
    I know I was very optimistic about Pedroia returning, but it doesn't appear that we'll see him again this year. As far as signing a 2B for next year, I think it would be kind of difficult to sign a full time 2B unless they know for sure that Pedroia won't be returning. Having guys like Holt and Nunez are perfect complements to Pedroia. That said, I think Dombrowski has to plan for possibly needing to acquire a 2B midseason next year.
  24. Kimmi
    Dombrowski will do his best to retain Kimbrel, I have no doubt. At the same time, he is looking for closer type relievers who are signed past this season, as a possible replacement for Kimbrel. I think that Dombrowski also has the sense that Kimbrel will be too expensive.
  25. Kimmi
    I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.
