  1. For some odd reason, he has a grind about posting wild card updates more often after wins than losses, or stopping after it hardly matters.
  2. It is amazing. Here's more... Their 9th best hitter is at .784! Only 2 of those 9 are over 31 (Ozuna 32 & Rosario 31!) Their lowest SLG guy is at .455 (M Harris.) We only have 5 above that, not counting Duvall.
  3. ...and it actually takes work to do that. At least, he fixed the juggled words and letters issue.
  4. If you think it's a "good thing" we did so poorly, so it will force changes, I think you will be disappointed.
  5. Thanks for letting us all know exactly what we need to know.
  6. No to the first point and yes to the second point.
  7. You totally missed it. It’s a dream to think any GM wants to cut salary. bTW, while you weren’t looking the MO changed. We had more deals for 2 or more years than one year deals, last winter. I’m not sure what that has to do with the fact that we all likely agree Turner and Duvall will bolt.
  8. All GMs dream of cutting salary.
  9. Yup. I suppose some will want us to DFA Paxton, Turner and Duvall, since they are all good as gone anyway, and we can get a look see at EValdez & Walter, again, and who else? Dalbec?
  10. You have such vivid dreams.
  11. One big bowl of cherries.
  12. My guess is Bloom could figure out how to post correctly, so I'll hand him that.
  13. We do have Jansen and Martin returning, too. When is the last time Bloom had more than 3 guys he added the previous year come back again? Good times ahead!!! LOL
  14. What scorers call errors is an even bigger joke than it used to be. Our team has made dozens of bad plays not counted as errors more than any other team. I'd bet my house on that. DOZENS! Easily. Yes, offense and pitching still matters more, but defense has matter more this year than ever- for the Sox.
  15. Must win series, and we get swept, at home. Yuck!
  16. They need to be ML ready and on the 40.
  17. Sure: give your number. I'm not "thinking 87" anymore. I'm worried about getting over 81, now.
  18. I found a 70 game sample size where Yoshida did better than Duvall's 70 game sample. 4/20 to 7/18 Yoshida was +16.5 on O We don't know what Duvall would look like after 117 games. Good points, though.
  19. We need to trade jansen and martin and have 8 long relief guys, next year. These one and done guys are killing us!
  20. You have a point, but it wasn't really about saving them as it was about hardly any were available, due to prior overuse.
  21. It would be one thing, if we were losing to good teams, but apparently, the league is so watered down, it's like we are losing to the A's, today.
  22. Maybe a C+ or B-?
  23. The pen has been one of the most improved areas on the team from 2020-2022 vs 2023. Some pen numbers: OPS Against as RP ONLY .471 Crawford .561 Pivetta .572 Martin .657 Jansen .662 Bernardino\ .680 Llovera .738 Schreiber Inherited run scored % 7 Martin 17 Bernardino 17 Jansen 22 Jacques 32 Wink (32% is league avg.) ERA as RP'er only 1.25 Martin 1.66 Crawford 2.70 Bernardino 2.81 Jansen 3.08 Pivetta 3.09 Wink
  24. IMO, we did not sign Yoshida for his D, and expecting value from the defense would be a mistake. That being said, for his salary, it's not unreasonable to expect better offense than he has given us, so far. He has been a bit inconsistent, so at various times in the season, he has looked better or worse, so maybe over the full season, we may think differently. I'm not ready to call the signing a failure or even a bad one, but I do feel like it would not be right to say it was a "good signing" at that cost.
