    So, maybe we are just a 4 game win streak away from you feeling bliss.
  2. moonslav59
    Not everyone.
  3. moonslav59
    Pitchers with known command get the calls.

    Let's see if Nate makes it through a full season of even 25 starts. The Eflin one may hurt more, since we could have signed him over Kluber and still re-set.

    Having a lot of older players plus players with injury histories increases the odds, but yes- insane. The Sox have had their share, but not like this.

    You think he passes Mata, Perales and Walter on the next rankings list? It seems to me to be a near certainty, unless one of the other three start turning things around. Current: 5. Mata 8. Perales 9. Walter 12. Drohan

    According to CBSMLB, Joely Rodriguez may come off the IL on May 5th. Paxton may be called up, if he begins pitching well, at some point. Whitlock is unknown. (They say May 10th.) Wyatt Mills is due around May 30th, but it's not clear he is a better than our number 13, anyway. For everyday players.... June 1st Duvall (at the earliest) June 1st Mondesi June 10 Chang July 14th Story

    As bad as we have looked, we are just 1 GB a playoff slot. We are 0.5 behind the Astros. We are 1 GB the Yanks. We are 2.5 GB the 4th best record in the AL. I keep saying it, but many teams have serious issues, too- not just us.

    As much as adding a top SP'er to our team was essential, this past winter, let's look how the big shots are doing, so far.... Salary SP'er ERA/FIP $37M x 5 deGrom 2.67/ 1.63 $27M x 6 Rodon no IP $43M x 2 Verlander 6 IP $15M x 5 Senga 4.15/ 5.46 $18M x 4 Walker 4.97/ 5.24 $17M x 4 Taillon 14 IP 4.50/ 1.92 $21M x 3 Bassitt 4.82/ 5.67 $13.3M x 3 Eflin 3.00/ 3.78 (The guy Bloom wanted first.) $13M x 3 T Anderson 5.74/ 6.39 $17M x 2 Eovaldi 5.20/ 2.23 (before tonight's masterpiece)

    Because there have been that many mop up opportunities? LOL Look, I'm with you and everyone else 100%. Brasier and Ort should not be on the 26, and never should have. Yes, Cora should not have pitched them in a few of the games, but most have been out of need or because the game was 4 or more runs away. I still blame Bloom more than Cora, but apparently I'm a Bloon apologist, so I must be lying.
  11. moonslav59
    Only when it counts.
  12. moonslav59
    I'm just not overjoyed Sale is throwing near 94.
  13. moonslav59
    Yankee killer, still.

    All I can say on Ort is, "What took it so long?" One Brasier, "Please be soon!"
  16. moonslav59
    You gotta use your 12 and 13 slots in games like, today. It's Bloom's fault for these guys still being on the 26.
  17. moonslav59
    That pretty much sums it up, well.

    Well, the bad news is, he used to throw 95-97 pretty often. I'll give him more time to improve his control, but we can't count on him pitching like an ace, again. We need to plan on adding an ace or two solid #2's, like yesterday. If he ends up pitching like an ace again, then great, but should never have been the plan- not that I think it was. I think Sox brass hoped he could pitch like a solid #3, along with Kluber, and that Whitlock and Bello could pitch like solid #2's. We'd have a lot more wins, if all these guys just pitched like #4's and maybe even 5's, instead of #8's.

    Imagine this lineup: 1. L Verdugo RF 2. L Devers 3B 3. R Duvall R CF 4. L Yoshida LF 5. R Story SS 6. R Turner 1B/DH 7. L Valdez /L Duran /R Refsnyder DH/L Casas 1B 8. R Kike 2B 9. L McGuire C/R Wong C

    The guy can hit. Minor League OPS Leaders in 2022 (515 PAs+) 2. Kavadas .990 (A, A+, AA) 14. E Valdez .918 (AA, AAA) Only 2 batters had more PAs and a higher OPS than Valdez in 2022. He hit .860 in 2021 (A+, AA).

    It's never fair to definitively judge any player over tiny sample sizes. We can argue about what "tiny" or "small sample sizes" are, but 2 starts, especially after pretty much missing ST'ing is tiny. It may take Bello a while to improve his command, but he's got enough nasty stuff to be pretty good as soon as now. I hate to pin so much of our hopes on this kid, but who besides Houck and Crawford have shown better hope in our rotation, so far this year? I know- I know, that's not saying much, and guys like jacko will probably bust my balls for saying that about a pitcher with a 6.57 ERA, right now, but it's how my gut feels right now. Maybe, I'm just hungry.
  23. moonslav59
    Well, the pen has saved our asses a few times, too, so as long as both keep pulling their weight we can stay near .500. Waiting for the rotation to get its act together may be futile, but maybe Bello and Houck can string something together, and the others can just suck less.
  24. moonslav59
    My thought was starting with 2 good games in a row and then maybe repeating that a few more times, afterwards while avoiding two bad ones in a row, along the way. You gotta start somewhere, and I'm not sure anyone has done even that, yet.
  25. moonslav59
    What are this pen's numbers minus Brasier & Ort?
