  1. LA named LHP Caleb Ferguson as their SP'er vs Houck. That likely means no start from Abreu for 3 straight games. I wonder where Cora will bat Refsnyder. Reyes probably gets the day off. Jansen should be ready to pitch, but the set up men might be tough to cobble together.Martin and Bernardino just went 1/3, but Wink, Whitlock, Schreiber and Pivetta might be unavailable. That leaves Llover as a probable pitcher, unless we make a roster move.
  2. Since the All Star Break, here are the Sox leaders in ERA, listed in order of most IP" 4.47 Bello 46 IP 4.02 Pivetta 40 2.95 Crawford 40 5.82 Paxton 39 4.91 Murphy 22 2.45 Wink 18 0.61 Martin 15 5.65 Schreiber 14 5.14 Sale 14 2.62 Bernardino 14 1.64 Jansen 11 7.27 Whitlock 9 5.40 Houck 5 August 0.00 Martin 10 IP 1.23 Jansen 7.1 2.84 Bernardino 6.1 3.00 Crawford 24 3.26 Bello 30.1 3.17 Wink 11
  3. Pretty amazing that the Yanks, Mets and Padres are among the bottom 12 teams in MLB. Here is the reverse standings from the worst team in MLB. 38-92 OAK 41-90 KCR 48-81 COL 51-79 CWS 56-74 STL 58-72 PIT 59-71 NYM 59-70 DET 61-69 WSH 61-69 SDP 61-69 CLE 62-67 NYY (-1.5 from 9th worst and -3.0 from f8th worst) Realistically, the Yanks could end up with the 5th worst record, but more likely 6th to 10th worst.
  4. Maybe they are peaking, too early, but it sure seems like you are right. They do end the season with 3 @ TEX, 3 HOU and 3 TEX, so they could play spoiler, if they run away with the AL West. TEX ends with 3 v BOS, 3 v SEA, 3 @LAA and 4 @SEA HOU ends with 3 v BAL, 3 v KCR, 3 @SEA and 3 @ AZ TOR ends with 6 v NYY and 6 V TBR, but the Yanks are now a pushover. The two series before their last 12 may be their test (4 TEX and 3 BOS)
  5. My projection for SP's next rankings list: (previous rank) 1, Mayer (1) 2. Anthony (2) 3. Teel (5) 4. Rafaela (4) 5. Bleis (3) 6. Yorke (6) 7. Wikelman (8) 8. Perales (7) 9. Zanetello (9) 10. Cespedes (15) 11. Romero (10) 12. Bonaci (12) 13. Walter (13) 14. Castro (20) 15. Abreu (23) 16. Monegro (29) 17. Hickey (18) 18. Meidroth (16) 19. Gambrell (43) 20. EValdez (17) 21. Drohan (11) 22. Joh Garcia (14) 23. Rosier (56) 24. Mata (21) 25. Jordan (19) 26. Anderson (26) 27. E R-C (25) 28. S Scott (41) 29. Yuten (44) 30. Guerrero (31) Dropped from top 30: Paulino, DHam, Fernandez, Alcantara, C Coffey
  6. One less day to make up ground. 32 games left for the Sox and 5 teams are within 4.5 games of each other for the last 2 WC slots. SEA & TEX tied for the WC 2 & WC 3 slots, but one will win the division (or HOU) -1.0 HOU WC3 as of now -2.5 TOR (-1.5 from WC3) -4.5 BOS (-3.5 from WC3 and -2.0 from TOR) Schedule remaining: BOS: 3HOU, 3@KCR, 3@TBR, 3BAL, 3NYY, 3@TOR, 3@TEX, 3CWS, 2TBR, 4@BAL TOR: 3WSH, 3@COL, 3@OAK, 3KCR, 4TEX, 3BOS, 3@NYY, 3@TBR, 3NYY, 3TBR HOU: 3@BOS, 3NYY, 3@TEX, 3SDP, 3OAK, 3@KCR, 3BAL, 3KCR, 3@SEA, 3@ARI TEX: 3@NYM, 3MIN, 3HOU, 3OAK, 4@TOR, 3!CLE, 3BOS, 3SEA, 3@LAA, 4@SEA SEA: 3OAK, 3@NYM, 3@CIN, 4@TBR, 3LAA, 3LAD, 3@OAK, 3@TEX, 3HOU, 3TEX
  7. I'd rather watch them in a strip club. LOL
  8. What's not to like about consistent balls and strike calls?
  9. Gambrell with a nice start for WOO. How high will he rise in the next rankings? 5.2 IP, 2H, 0ER, 4BB, 5K 3-5 Rafaela w two 2Bs 2-3 Kavadas w HR & BB 2-4 Chang 1-4 EValdez w 2B & BB POR won big. Coffey went 7.0 IP, 5H, 2ER, 2BB, 9K 1-4 Jordan w HR 2 hits by Bonaci, Yorke, Meidroth, Hickey (tw 2Bs), Dearden & McDonough. GRE lost 4-3 Perales 5IP, 2H, 0ER, 3BB, 5K Paulino & Ferguson homered. SAL won 5-0 2-4 Salazar and Yuten
  10. Okay, pay Richards $10M/1 and $10M/1 Kluber of $22.5M/4 Wacha.
  11. I'm thinking, more and more, one of the two teams we might pass is going to be Texas- not TOR, HOU or SEA.
  12. They usually only pitch super high leverage innings and throw all out for the short term. Guys like Martin and Jansen don't go multiple innings. Here are the RP PAs Against- and OPS Against 289 Winckowski .765 201 Pivetta .561 172 Jansen .657 172 Murphy .724 168 Martin .576 135 Bernardino .667 119 Schreiber .716
  13. ...and now he says he always wanted to stay in Boston. Boo- Hoo.
  14. The 4 year deal is not all that expensive. Wacha got $4M/1 with this.... Team option at $16M x 1, so it would be $20M/2. or Player option at $18.5M/3, so it would be $22.5M/4.
  15. We play 3 v TOR and 3 v HOU, so in that way, our future can be in our own hands.
  16. TBD vs Houck Big game. Batters are hot. Jansen is supposedly back. The pen was taxed, today, so let's get some innings from Houck. Go Sox!
  17. OPS Leaders, now: .885 Duvall .862 Devers .848 Turner (JD is at .856) .828 Duran (on IL) .826 Casas .801 Yoshida .797 Verdugo .714 Wong Under 225 ABs 1.379 Abreu .769 Reyes .740 Urias .728 McGuire .705 Refsnyder .626 Story All above .705, even the bench, except for Story, who seems to be on the rise. Balance. No black holes
  18. It's easy to say a team as inconsistent in batting, starting pitching and relief pitching is in their rightful place, but I'm still hopeful, we can have a stretch where it all comes together at once. Maybe it's pink glasses. Maybe it's a pipedream. But we have had some very long stretches where the rotation did very well. We have had some very long stretches where the did did very well. We have had some very long stretches where the line up did very well. Granted, our D has sucked, all year, but let's put it all together over these last 5 weeks.
  19. You tell me. You made the remark not knowing what other choices there were, not me. I know Llovera was warming up.
  20. Some fans can never just be happy.
  21. Shoulda brought in Llovera?
  22. He had a major injury. I'm not saying you are wrong, but let's see.
  23. The ump has sucked for both teams.
