    Love Casas' approach.
  2. 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.

    A slow heads up runner scores.
  4. 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?
  5. 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."
  6. moonslav59
    Calling Max: another run given up by the D, without it showing up on the scorecard.

    I'm still wondering how Duvall doesn't score on the Casas 2B.

    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.)

    Turner smoked that one.

    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.
  11. 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."
  12. moonslav59
    It's all in the "twitch."
  13. moonslav59
    Mi Casas: tu Casas!
  14. 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
  15. 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.
  16. moonslav59
    Betts at $400M/14 with no money deferred would have been better than Judge's. Age. Body type/injury prone Smile
  17. moonslav59
    Our guys and their gals need to plan their pregnancies better.
  18. moonslav59
    Maybe Ellis Burks.
  19. moonslav59
    Having to be done is a different issue, to me. (I'd argue at Judge's age, the contract was insane, but from a PR standpoint, yes. They were being held for ransom.) Mookie's situation was for both PR and for the good of the team- short and long term. The Judge contract may turn out worse than Stanton's.
  20. moonslav59
    Had we just had 1-2 durable and competent pitchers, we likely could have not had to try 10 others.
  21. moonslav59
    It's not hope. It is expected his deal will be very bad.
  22. moonslav59
    It is not beyond any question. One could argue all the rest days caused injuries just as easily as your claim.
  23. moonslav59
    Bad comp, since NYY will regret signing Judge. We regret not signing Mookie.
  24. moonslav59
    Who was sent down or put on the IL?
  25. moonslav59
    Agreed. I might even say "most of the time."
