    I think they did address the defense. Grissom should be better than Arroyo/Vadlez/Urias/Reyes/Kike. Rafaela is light years better than Duvall/Duran in CF. Duran is better than Yoshida in LF. We expected growth at 1B and C. Story was expected to vastly improve the SS D, and he did for 2 short weeks. RF and 3B looked like pushes. Some of us have suggested ways to improve 3B defense, but have been largely ridiculed for doing so. The lack of addressing the rotation was more neglectful, despite how the rotation has looked, so far. Now, with Story out, the defense cannot improve by nearly as much as planned/expected, but it still should move up from 28th to 30th in 2023 to around 20-24th. Not great, but still it may end up being the only area of improvement by October.

    Our rotation, to date: 0.00 Houck 6 IP per start (2 GS) 0.57 Crawford 5.1 IP per start (3 GS) 0.82 Pivetta 5.2 IP per start (2 GS) 0.96 Whitlock 4.2 IP per GS (2 GS) 4.11 B Bello 5.1 IP per GS (3 GS) I doubt any other team has 5 SP'ers averaging 4.2 or more IP per start. I know no other team has ERAs like these. (1.42 rotation ERA) 63.1 IP in 12 GS (5.1 per start) 43 Hits 18 BB 71 Ks The sample size has grown to the point where we could have a game where our SP'er lets up 10 ERs in 5 IP

    In 2023, we were 30th in OAA. In 2024, we are 21st, so far. Fangraphs has us 21st. (30th, last season) DRS has us 21st. (24th, last season) It's improved, but just not a whole lot. Kike, alone, killed the club's chances in April, last year. We had about 3-4 positions that were dead last.

    1 strike per batter was better than what he did for us, at the end. LOL

    I think they expected a .380 OBP and maybe 15 HRs/30 DBLs

    Now, Kimbrell learns to throw strikes.
  7. moonslav59
    LOL. It is true that hardly any teams have several pitchers who go 6 almost every game. 6 x 33 starts is almost 200 IP.

    We need to O to come back to life!

    Welcome to MLB.

    What is WONG with you!

    Hickey hit his 3rd dinger for Woo. Making a case to get back in the mix. (DH?)
  12. moonslav59
    Just started warming up someone.
  13. moonslav59
    Just like that, the O's are back in it.
  14. moonslav59
    ...and it rubbed off on Duran.

    Nice D Tyler!
  16. moonslav59
    Nice!

    It's looking like 2023 was not a fluke.
  18. moonslav59
    Everybody Wong-Chang, tonight!

    Totally shocked that Yoshida grounded out to the right side.
  20. moonslav59
    I thought you'd like that.
  21. moonslav59
    Boggs. It's rare.
  22. moonslav59
    I doubt a single poster or Sox fans would say they preferred extending Devers to Betts. It's a shame it turned out this way. One could drop the "e" on shame and make an even better point.
  23. moonslav59
    Really? I never heard that excise used, before.
  24. moonslav59
    1. Duran 2. O'Neill 3. Devers 4. Casas 5. Romy 6. Reyes 7. Yoshida 8. Wong 9. Rafaela
  25. moonslav59
    If they did not, last year, while the sham was in bloom, (pun intended) why would they do it for an obvious punt season? What I don't get is why can't we just get a min wage glove SS?
