    Devers and Bogaerts have been discussed endlessly on other threads. Plus I don't think either one is worth $350M, which is probably what they asked for.
  2. Maxbialystock
    While I agree spring training is definitely a time for evaluating--enough to decide who goes to Boston and who doesn't--I think the real evaluation has to be in games that count. And most of that applies to the pitching staff.
  3. Maxbialystock
    Not one of Cora's best games. He pulls Valdez after 13 pitches and 4 outs to bring in Crawford for 50 pitches, 5 outs, 5 walks, and lots of runs.
  4. Maxbialystock
    They pose risks wherever they go.
  5. Maxbialystock
    On the other hand, that was a perfect changeup for the K.
  6. Maxbialystock
    Look's like Crawford was lucky to get 3 outs in the 7th.
  7. Maxbialystock
    Bradley gets a hard-earned BB so Enrique can watch pitches and our best hitter by far swing and miss.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Why is Hernandez out there sightseeing?
  9. Maxbialystock
    Very good at bat by JBJ.
  10. Maxbialystock
    To what end? I don't like Shaw or Arroyo, but Bundy is mowing down our good hitters as well as our bad ones. Enrique just K'd.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Yup.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Wasn't Valdez the other long reliever last season who had a fair amount of success (at least for awhile)?
  13. Maxbialystock
    He's got a slow fastball, 88-89, but mixes in a lot of other pitches along with pretty good command. A week ago he pitched 5 shutout innings vs. Seattle.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Really? That's good news. Thanks.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Boy, does he. He also reacts better to the ball than Hernandez, who now and then seems to wander.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Shaw looked pretty awful on that. JBJ looked like, well, JBJ.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Seriously? Those 2 runs were by the first two batters in the 3d after Hill had retired the side in order in the 2d inning? And since that 3d inning dinger, Hill has managed to get 6 outs with no more runs scored.
  18. Maxbialystock
    Now that was a changeup, and a mile outside.
  19. Maxbialystock
    I could be wrong, but I think that changeup affects their decision-making vs. fastballs.
  20. Maxbialystock
    I'm sure the MLBPA supports all unvaccinated players. Protecting their "choice" is probably in the latest agreement.
  21. Maxbialystock
    I'm not impressed with Hill, but am also OK with Cora's decision-making. I'm looking at mlb.com pitch by pitch, and it says Hill just threw a changeup for that third out ground out. Is that right? If it is, what was he waiting for? Ditto Vazquez.
  22. Maxbialystock
    For a reliever, maybe/probably, but not for a starter.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Bundy, on the other hand, has 3 pitches--slow fastball just like Hill's, curve just like Hill's, and that changeup. Plus maybe a cut fastball. Two pitches are simply not enough.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Like I said. Two pitches ain't enough.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Superstition and downright ignorance. See the new thread on the injury list by mvp78. Apparently, a bunch of Sox players won't make the trip to Toronto because they don't quite believe in vaccinations.
