Makes sense. His delayed start to the season might end up being a blessing in disguise come post season.

I'm sure that he does a very good job as commentator. It's similar to ARod. ARod supposedly is very good and very informative in that role. I don't know though, because I couldn't listen to him. He's another one that I can't bring myself to like.

Updated Red Sox standings projections: Fangraphs - 93 wins, best in the AL, one game better than the Guardians, 7 games better than our closest AL East competitor, the Blue Jays BP - 90 wins, 3rd best in the AL, 3 games behind the Astros and 2 games behind the Guardians, division winner, 6 games better than the Rays Davenport - Dude is still on drugs, and I say this as a fan of his. He has us as the 7th best team in the AL, which is out of playoff contention. 82 wins, tied for 2nd place in the AL East with the Rays, 2 games behind the Jays

You want a team whose W-L record screams of abnormality, look at last year's Rangers. They beat their Pythagorean W-L by 13 games by going 36-11 in one run games and 18-24 in blowout games. This is the poster child for a lucky team.

Blaming Cherington for the Price situation is absurd. OTOH, Dombrowski was only able to sign Price because of the great state of the farm system and the number of cost-controlled players already on the major league roster. So maybe Cherington does deserve the blame...
-
Price says he doesn't want to put a timetable on his return, but the way he's talking, he goes through a similar soreness every spring training. He did say it was more extreme this year, but he also said that the amount of improvement from the 2nd day to the 3rd day (I think), with no treatment, was significant enough that if he felt like that, he wouldn't have even mentioned it. In short, he is sounding very optimistic about a fairly quick return. Of course he could be blowing a lot of smoke, but I'm feeling hopeful that it won't be a prolonged injury.
-
When the stories follow a player from team to team, there is probably more to it than just poor portrayal in the media. Much like AJ Pierzynski, he is a player that I've not been able to like.
-
I am not a fan of these types of contracts either. To be fair, however, I think Price was one of the lesser risky pitchers in his 30s to give such a contract to. I'm not saying it was a good thing to do, but if you're going to do it, Price would be the guy.
-
When I first read about the injury, I was afraid that he would require TJ surgery, or at least be out for half a season. Of course, that could still happen if his rehab doesn't progress. I would be thrilled if he could get back by the end of April.
-
There is no need for panic. IMO, the team would still be a contender if Price were out for the season. That said, the team is much better with a healthy Price than without one.
-
If this were news about a Yankees pitcher, I'm sure the 'chart' would read differently. I'm just messin' with Jacko. He is one of my favorite Yankees fans.
-
I don't know how much truth there is behind his reputation, but I would not want him on the team because of that. Outside of the reputation, I'd take a flyer on him.
-
The signing was a mistake. Pablo was likely to be overpaid even if he played well over the entire contract. That said, he had always been a serviceable, or in some years, even a quite good 3rd baseman until he came to Boston. His first year here was a fluke, in the worst way imaginable. It really shouldn't be that big a surprise if he returns to being a serviceable 3rd baseman.
-
The Mariners do have a lot of players participating. As I've said, I really enjoy the WBC and don't think it's meaningless like most here do, but I'm glad that most of the Sox players are sitting it out.

I finally get to see a Sox preseason game tomorrow. MLB Network is airing it. The DVR is set up and ready to go! -

That's all I've been saying. Use it in the right situations - don't overuse it. -

Not the exact breaking point I was looking for, but stat geek extraordinaire Tangotiger found that, in order to break even, the best hitters, like Papi, would have to be successful in their bunt attempts 45% of the time if they are bunting with 0 outs and bases empty. With 2 outs and bases empty, they would have to be successful 50% of the time. An average hitter would have to be successful 40% of the time with 0 outs and bases loaded. A poor hitter 35% of the time. Those percentages increase with any men on base. -
It's far too early to know, but Abraham is speculating that Price might be ready to pitch in regular season the 3rd time through the rotation. That would be awesome.
-
Another thing about run differential is that it is fairly meaningless at the beginning of the season or preseason (small sample size) but becomes more meaningful as more games are played.
-
Well I'm not really up for doing the research either because I think you'd have to go through each team's games logs. If you think about though, it should make sense that a team like the Sox would lose series in which they outscore their opponents. As I said, good teams are going to have a better record in blowout games. In other words, they will have a tendency to win games by a larger margin but lose games by 1 or 2 runs.
-
Pablo has looked good so far. Hopefully he gets off to a good start to open the season.
-
This I agree with. We need more depth.
-
Don't act so disappointed.
-
Great news! That was the best case scenario.
