    Bello looked really sharp, tonight. He's got his ERA down to 3.27. He's brought his ERA down, every game but one since his opening day implosion. Take away that first game, and Bello has done this in his 11 starts: 2.70 ERA 63.1 IP 55 Hits 20 BB 57 Ks

    I would not bench Casas anymore than scheduled days off, and since Turner can play 1B while Yoshida DH's, I can't see using Dalbec at 1B. Plus he sucks on D at 1B. Casas has been coming along since the first week of the season. .745 OPS since April 9th (.345 OBP) .789 OPS since April 24th (.352 OBP) .810 OPS since May 23rd (.366 OBP) .930 OPS since June 16th (.370 OBP) He's hitting LHPs about the same as RHP's, so I don't see a platoon called for. If Dalbec is going to play SS, God bless our team.

    Wild Card Race BAL +5 NYY and HOU ties for #2-3 slots -0.5 LAA -0.5 TOR -2.5 BOS -4.0 SEA -4.5 CLE Our schedule up to the trade deadline August 1st: 3 @CWS OFF 3 MIA 3 ATOR OFF 3 TEX 3 OAK All Star Break (4 Days) 3 @CHC 3 @OAK OFF 3 NYM OFF 2 ATL OFF 3 @SFG 3@SEA With so many days off, we might be able to get by with 4 dependable SP'ers until the deadline, but I sure hope Houck returns soon.

    Best Records vs .500+ Teams 29-16 TBR 21-15 ATL 22-16 SFG 23-19 BAL 28-24 BOS 19-18 TEX 20-19 AZ These are the only teams with winning records on this split. And there I was thinking playing less good teams, this year, was helpful

    If we pay his whole salary, some team might think he's a better option than what they have- based on hopes that his first 2+ months were just a bad stretch. I doubt we get a McGuire in return, but a single A prospect with a half a chance would be worth it for us. It's slightly better than a plain DFA.
  6. moonslav59
    We could pay his full salary, and I doubt anyone would take him.
  7. moonslav59
    Hey! The CWS took Diekman and his salary and gave us McGuire on top of that! Maybe...

    Ooops.

    Their "mediocre" was better than ours.
  12. moonslav59
    If we keep winning 6 out of 8, we will make the playoffs and maybe even win the division. That is our "current path," if you choose 8 games.
  13. moonslav59
    Yes, we are close to a team missing 3 of it's top 5 starters. We are missing 2 of our top 7, and 2 others were demoted to the pen. I do think we can pass the Astros, but with 4 of our 7 on the IL or in the pen, it won't be easy.
  14. moonslav59
    Agreed. We already took Whitlock and Houck, and now Crawford.
  15. moonslav59
    We may need Walter or Murphy to come through for us, until Houck comes back. I'm not sure, if they are considering moving Pivetta back to the rotation. It could work.
  16. moonslav59
    The Astros lost Verlander to free agency over the winter and then McCullers for the whole season. Luis Gracia may miss the whole season (60 day IL) and Jose Urquidy in on the 15 day IL and has already missed 9 of 15 starts. Here are their SP'er numbers: 2.27 Framber Valdez 15 GS 3.25 Christian Javier 15 GS 3.78 Hunter Brown 14 3.42 JP France 8 4.37 B Bielak 8 and 4.66 R Blanco 3

    Two surprises from Murphy then Walter, both who were struggling in the minors, this year.
  18. moonslav59
    I thought I was responding to MVPs post about Rosier being promoted to AAA. Somehow, the threads got switched on me. LOL
  19. moonslav59
    ...and then the false hopes they were coming back.
  20. moonslav59
    Good to see the 23 year old get a chance. He was part of the Hosmer and Ferguson for Groom trade. AA .805 OPS 26 SB

    Good to see him get a chance. He 23 and was a part of the Hosmer and Ferguson for Groome trade. He is hitting .805 OPS with 26 SBs.

    Here is a look at our worst, best and in between defensive teams since 2003: BY DRS -57 '06 -56 '09 -35 '05 -26 '04 -22 '03 The "in between" -4 '22 -2 '15 0 '10 1 '20 2 '07 4 '21 5 '19 10 '18 In between or best? 17 '08 18 '11 22 '13 51 '14 64 '12 69 '16 79 '17 Hard to find a pattern between rings and good or bad D with the Sox. The worst teams on D were under Theo. Bad -8.8 '04 -6.6 '03 -2.5 '10 -2.5 '22 -2.3 '06 -1.8 '15 -1.3 '05 OK 0.6 '09 0.9 '20 1.4 '21 2.4 '07 2.6 '13 3.1 '17 3.3 '19 3.6 '12 Good 5.2 '16 5.3 '11 6.7 '18 7.2 '08 7.2 '14 Again, I see no pattern linked to rings and good or bad D- for the Sox.
  23. moonslav59
    Exactly, and when people look at the high ERA of our pitchers, they should factor in all the extra outs they needed to make, above and beyond charged errors.
  24. moonslav59
    Actually, my theory is that the Sox have almost always had plus hitting, but the rings came only after we acquired a second solid SP. 2004: Had Pedro- traded for Schilling 2007: Had Schilling- traded for Beckett 2013: Had Lester- signed Lackey 2018: Had Price- traded for Sale Right now, maybe Bello can be an ace- maybe, but we are far from a #2, unless we think Paxton can keep going like this. Also, most of those 4 ring years had more than just 2 solid starting pitchers.
  25. moonslav59
    I don't think we have many choices for our 5th starter. Pivetta Walter Murphy
