    So, who was defending Cora after we all saw Kike could not field SS? I'm still missing your point. Name one poster. If your point was after we all saw it, I'm still not seeing anyone who supported the idea. In fact, we all hated it, although we may have disagreed on who should be blamed the most.
  2. moonslav59
    Yup, 8 is not enough
  3. moonslav59
    There are as many people who defended the Kike idea at SS on opening day as how many said they were against it before opening day. Let's have names.
  4. moonslav59
    Those HBPs were our retaliation.

    Maybe he knows Dusty Baker will retire, and he's got a spot lined up.

    Sale is not Chris Freakin' Sale, anymore. Having to go with pitchers like Bearclaw tells the season story. We are now hanging by the thin tread.

    MLB OPS Leaders 430+ PAs (updated 1 minute ago.) 1.075 Ohtani 1.018 Betts .998 Freeman .976 Olsen .975 Acuna .910 Y Diaz .891 Tucker .884 Carroll .884 Soto .868 Walker .860 Devers .859 Turner .857 Ozuna .846 Alonso .846 Casas 3 in the top 15. (JD M does not qualify.)

    Lots of loud outs on both sides.
  9. moonslav59
    A few better placed line drives, and we are up bigtime.
  10. moonslav59
    Love Casas' approach.
  11. moonslav59
    I remember reading we drafted him, because his "twitch muscles" were off the charts spectacular. He is certainly gifted in many other ways, too. If he could pitch like the Babe, he'd be number one on the all time Sox player that got away list.
  12. moonslav59
    A slow heads up runner scores.
  13. moonslav59
    Where did I say offense or Casas's hit isn't important. Are you saying we would not be ahead with just normal D?
  14. moonslav59
    It's not just the run allowed, it's another out needed by Sale. A few more pitches. More pitches by the pen needed, later, and on and on... 6 more pitches to get Abreu for the "4th out."
  15. moonslav59
    Calling Max: another run given up by the D, without it showing up on the scorecard.
  16. moonslav59
    I'm still wondering how Duvall doesn't score on the Casas 2B.
  17. moonslav59
    I went out of my way to say "someone could make the point...." Of course, I don't think our pitchers are overworked. They've been home on the couch for their ILs, most of the year. I was making the point that our pitchers have been rested well, and are looking gassed, while our batters have been rested well and have been inconsistent as all hell. Actually, I'm not sure what point that "someone" was trying to make. LMAO Oh, yes, I know what it was: all of our pitchers, except Martin and Jansen have been in decline. (Crawford kinda even.)
  18. moonslav59
    Turner smoked that one.
  19. moonslav59
    Nobody has argued rest makes you worse or "automatically worse." The main point is we are resting better and or hotter players to instead play worse or colder players. The point about keeping your bench fresh and feeling like they are a big part of the team is plus for that side of the debate, for sure. I'm just not sure giving a player 10-16 days off makes them better than giving them 3-9 days off. Even if it does make them slightly better, does playing 5-12 less games make it worth it? There was also the point about how many days off do you need, if you DH a bunch of games.
  20. moonslav59
    I thought my first sentence laid out the argument that someone could make. Maybe our pitchers are overworked and could have used some "days off."
  21. moonslav59
    It's all in the "twitch."
  22. moonslav59
    Mi Casas: tu Casas!
  23. moonslav59
    A strong argument could be made that Cora was resting the wrong players. It looks like almost our whole pitching staff is running out of gas, except those who have not pitched all that much, like Martin and Jansen. Paxton 3.23 first 9 GS 5.44 last 9 GS Bello 3.76 first 14 GS 4.47 last 8 starts Pivetta 1.88 game 11-26 6.43 last 6 games Winckowski 2.82 first 39 games 4.32 last 9 games Crawford 3.51 first 29 games 3.70 last 18 games Martin only has 43 IP and is getting better Jansen only has 42 IP and is getting better
  24. moonslav59
    There is no way to know fewer games was responsible for such a great season. Many of the players you listed have had better years when playing more games. I got your point, but you can't say "beyond question" less games helped or hurt the final numbers of the players and the team. You just can't. It's impossible to know.

    Betts at $400M/14 with no money deferred would have been better than Judge's. Age. Body type/injury prone Smile
