    BAL beat the Yanks. WC Standings: +3.0 BAL +1.0 HOU +0.0 NYY -1.5 TOR -4.0 BOS -4.0 LAA -5.0 SEA -5.5 CLE We are down to 2 teams we need to pass. I'm thinking TOR and one from NYY or BAL is our best bet. BAL has a brutal stretch coming up (see below) Games before the deadline: BOS: 1TEX, 3OAK, 3@CHC, 3@OAK, 3NYM, 2ATL, 3@SFG, 3@SEA NYY: 1BAL, 3CHC, 3@COL, 3@LAA, 3KCR, 2NYM, 3@BAL, 3TBR BAL: 1@NYY, 3@MIN, 3MIA, 3LAD, 4@TBR, 3@PHI, 3NYY, 4@TOR HOU: 4SEA, 3@LAA, 2@COL, 4@OAK, 3TEX, 3TBR, 3CLE LAA: 2@LAD, 3HOU, 3NYY, 3PIT, 3@DET, 3@TOR, 3@ATL

    YES! Big shout out to DD. He didn't leave much at the upper levels, but keeping Devers and grabbing guys like Casas, Bello, Duran and others have finally given us some youth infusions.

    I haven't read any posts on this thread, since the game started, but this was a big win. I'm not going to predict this will be a springboard to anything great. This season has been to unpredictable to venture any projections based on anything tangible, but to me, this was a must win, and we won. Now, we need to go 3-1 in our final 4 games before the break to be better positioned for the stretch before the deadline. I'm cautiously optimistic. I still think this is a better team than 2022. I'm not so sure about 2021.
  4. moonslav59
    That should help you with your decision.
  5. moonslav59
    Yes, thanks for admitting it.

    It's easy to see any GM's choices and see they could have drafted someone better. I really like our 2020 draft. I like our others, too, but only time will tell, especially since he drafted almost only HS kids early on. i'm fine with others disliking his draft choices, but nobody can give a definitive grade, this early. I think he did well, but I could be wrong or very wrong. I get that.

    Sounds like you and others should switch to being Dodger fans. See ya!

    Line Up 1. Duran LF 2. Yoshida DH 3. Turner 1B 4. Devers 3B 5. Verdugo RF 6. Duvall CF 7. Arroyo 2B 8. DHam SS 9. Wong CF Why not Duran in CF and Duvall in LF? I'm not bashing Cora, but it seems strange. (Also, giving Casas a day off ve a RHP, hmmm....)
  10. moonslav59
    Last night, Binelas homered in his 3rd straight game. He still has a long way to go to make the bigs.
  11. moonslav59
    I think there were rumors we had interest in Matz a few years ago. He just turned 32, and I don't think trading for a 5.06 ERA guy ('22-'23) is going to help, unless we think we can turn him around to be more like the 4.36 guys from '18-'21.
  12. moonslav59
    Funny how many felt he'd never stick as a catcher, and with his speed, we felt he could probably be okay somewhere else. He's been a big bright spot, this year. After the 5 years of no farm help beyond Houck, this year has been very refreshing: Bello Wong Casas Crawford Wink Duran's revival Walter & Murphy have small sample sizes (21 IP combined), but have looked pretty good. (EValdez did not look too bad. DHam has a ways to go.)
  13. moonslav59
    Thanks for the correction.
  14. moonslav59
    Wong nearly homered to CF the other day, but yes, those 3 have been cold. Last 14 days- only 4 guys over.700. 1.065 Devers 1.000 Duran .808 Turner .772 Yoshida (.697 Casas- all others below .635!) Last 7 days, all but 5 are over .500! Duran, Devers, Yoshida, Turner and Ref. Time to bust out with the bats!!!
  15. moonslav59
    True, but it also offers a ray of hope that we can romp over bad teams in the second half.
  16. moonslav59
    Me, too. I once suggested offering him $400M/14.
  17. moonslav59
    The Rays have 13 pitchers with17+ IP, but 22 over 11 IP.
  18. moonslav59
    17 pitchers with 17+ IP 22 with 7+ IP
  19. moonslav59
    You can just feel all the love oozing from Sox Nation.
  20. moonslav59
    It looks like a rare win-win trade
  21. moonslav59
    100% Bloom could not have signed Betts. That makes it a one season of Betts trade. Then, the Price inclusion was the kicker. The trade was a very good one. Not extending Betts was a separate issue and one I feel was a mistake… just not Bloom’s.
  22. moonslav59
    4-1 over the next 5 is almost essential. 3-2 puts a lot of pressure on those 14-15 games after the break and before the deadline, which includes 2 road trips out west. 6 v CWS & OAK 6 v SFG & SEA (deadline is during SEA series)
  23. moonslav59
    He knows it's a big game. If he is ever going to become a great pitcher, he'll have to be able to "rise to the occasion."
  24. moonslav59
    To me, this is a huge game for our chances at making the playoffs (and not becoming sellers.)
  25. moonslav59
    We did not trade 4 or 10 years of Betts for Verdugo and Wong. We traded a 60 game season of Betts for 5 years for Dugo and Wong. Beni was never the same after the trade. I can see not calling it a win, but it wasn't a big loss- like many felt it was and still do. On the pitching, he did spend more on pitching for 2020, 2021 and it would have been for 2022, until the last minute Story signing. We signed Perez a year or two early. The Richards and Kluber $10M/1 deals flopped- like many in that price range do. The Wacha and Hill signings worked okay, but didn't get us over the hill due to massive production declines and injuries from Nate, Bogey and JD. The Kike decline and JBJ deal were 100% Bloom. 2020: 6 Perez 3 Peraza 2021 10 Richards 9 Ottavino (trade) 7 X 2 Kike 5 Perez 3 Renfroe & Marwin 3/2 Sawamura 2 Andriese 2022 23 x 6 Story 7 Wacha 5 Hill 4 x 2 Diekman 3 Strahm (JBJ - Renfroe) This year, we spent a lot on the pen but only $10M on the rotation.
