Like Casas and Walter for Keller (PIT)?
-
They did bounce back after the June swoon.
-
All this talk of rest is making me tired.

August OPS 1.050 Reyes .825 Casas .804 McGuire .796 Turner .745 Story .739 Dugo .640 Duvall .603 Wong .602 Yoshida .589 Duran .526 Urias .229 Refsnyder (What's his OPS since signing the extension?)
-
vs well-rested pitchers. LOL
-
I'm so thrilled all those days off kept our bats fresh and top notch. I could not resist.
-
Dugo is not that great on D. Another idea might be to put Duran in LF and Yoshida at DH. Hope Casas can improve at 1B. Rafaela in CF would be a bg boost. Trade Dugo and others for a SP'er and find a RF'er who can play D and has a strong and accurate arm. What's with our farm system producing 1Bmen that seem okay on D in the minors but suck once they reach the bigs? I think Dalbec won defensive player of the year, once. Was that award a prank?
-
He did have a pretty significant injury and was coming off a rehab stint, but I agree on the loss of trust. Watching the pitch location, last night: the HR pitches did not look all that bad, but it's hard to tell from a TV.
-
48-46 in gameds started.
-
Let's be frank. OH!
-
Nice summary. To add to this, here are our longer term commitments: $313/10 Devers (ends '33) $145/5 Sale (ends in '24 w option '25- the last big DD contract) $140M/6 Story ('27 w option '28) $90M/5 Yoshida ('12) $19M/4 Whitlock ('26) Expiring contracts after 2024: $16M Jansen $8.8 Martin Option Joely Last arbs in 2024: Dugo Pivetta

It looks like they made a mistake, last year, so maybe they are leaving nothing to chance. What do other sites say we "left on the table?"
-
Never seen that.
-
I find it hard to fathom why they'd do so much to make us be or appear to be competitive, but then try to save $5-9M, or whatever the number is.
-
They spent a lot, last winter. I don't get why a few more millions for another SP'er of a SS who could play D would have been so hard.
-
...and we had some budget space to get a couple additions.
-
Much more of a trusted organization on farm rankings.
-
If you look at most of the talk about the Sox in February, Mrach and April, it was about the rotation and defense, particularly at SS. It wasn't rocket science.
-
It might have been 3 games, had we traded before the deadline, like several other teams did, but good point.
-
Both seem entirely possible. You think Teel makes the bigs before Mayer?
-
We've had a lot of things work out well, this year, but maybe just one of these changes might have handed us 3+ wins: Devers hits 900+ Better SS Defense early on Whitlock & Houck pitching like 2021 (or even 2022) Less injuries
-
No particular order.... Rotation Defense, especially up the middle Base running inconsistent hitting Pen overuse and conversion of pen arms to the rotation
-
Of course, it is reasonable and even true, but it's also reasonable to think we'd have 3 or more wins had our bats hit like we thought they would. Only the pen can say they were a big plus.
