    There is always some reason we win other than us just being the better team.
  2. moonslav59
    And so soon after the luckiest season in history!
  3. moonslav59
    The drop in walks is frightening, but being more aggressive has proven to be helpful, too. Maybe we can find a way to do both very well.
  4. moonslav59
    Keep doing what you do best and work on improving areas you don't.

    His approach was not all that bad in April, but he certainly tweaked it just right in May. The kid is just barely over 250 career PAs and has a .724 OPS. He's going to get a very long leash and will have some times of struggles along the way. I like what I've seen, but he is no guarantee- just yet.

    Glass half empty and glass half full meets glass filled to the middle.

    I've always felt like a team should just take the best player and not think about positions, and most of the best everyday players play SS. I hope, when it is their pick they have a pitcher as the best available. I hope even more, they get it right.

    Neither are known for their glove. As much as Ref has been viewed as a platoon only player, and I think rightfully so up to now, he started 41 games vs RHPs (.771 in those games was not bad) and only 16 v LHPs (1.084!), last year. The team faced 36 LH's SP'ers last year and Ref started in less than half of those. This year, we have faced 18 and Ref has started all 18.

    Whitlock returns! RHP Davies goes for AZ, One game at a time!

    What player has the second best OPS on the Sox from 2022-2023 (250+ PAs? 1. Devers .860 (17th in MLB) 2. Refsnyder .853 (21st) (39th in MLB w BOS & SDP: Bogey at .813) (41st in MLB w BOS & LAD: JD at .811) (81st: Turner .780 w LAD & BOS) (99th: Duvall .767 w ATL & BOS) Only PAs w Sox: .860 Devers .853 Refsnyder .833 Bogaerts .790 JD .759 Vaz .752 Dugo .737 Story .720 Arroyo .716 Duran .697 Dalbec .634 Kike .578 JBJ

    Good observation on Sale. It's very encouraging to see Sale be "off" and still keep the game in control. Great to see the bats waking up. Let's hope it rubs off and continues onward. Lot's of hard outs, too.
  12. moonslav59
    Devers was sick. It does seem odd to give Duran a day off vs a righty, but Cora did start 3 lefties in the OF, so not all that weird. 2 days off might be what Duran needed.
  13. moonslav59
    In the long run, you are probably right. Wink has be "da man!"
  14. moonslav59
    Dalbec homered in Woo's loss, tonight. Murphy did not pitch very well. POR won 4-3 w Guerrero getting the win in 2 no hit IP of relief. Rafaela 2-5 w HR and 2B Yorke 2-4 w BB Rosier 2-4 Chang 0-3 in rehab GRE got a rare low run win (2-1.) Dobbins 7 IP 4H, 0ER, 0BB, 10K 2-5 Ferguson 1-4 Bonaci w 2B and BB SAL lost 8-5 2-2 Liendo w 2BB 2-4 Coffey 1-3 Anthony w 2B & 2 BBs
  15. moonslav59
    Yup. Managers know more details than we do.
  16. moonslav59
    Man, if we could get the second half of 2021 Kike back, this year, it would be quite a boost! (Big "IF," I know....) June 27 to end of 2022 .271 14 40 (at 162 gsm: .271 31 89) .374 OBP & .502 SLG .876 OPS (Then, the mammoth postseason.) He had a 50 game stretch of .979 within that run. The guy can get hot and stay hot for a pretty long period.
  17. moonslav59
    With younger players, it is often about adjusting and then adjusting to the new adjustments pitchers have tried on you, but sometime a bad stretch can just be a slump- not related to any lack of adjustment to what pitchers are doing differently, but rather just falling out of your groove or losing your "mojo." Just my take.
  18. moonslav59
    BTV says Mayer but I agree.
  19. moonslav59
    I think we will kick the tires on any body better than our 5 starter, which is just about anybody being shopped
  20. moonslav59
    Lol Fat fingers
  21. moonslav59
    I'm really not sure Arroyo or Chang will outplay what we've gotten from Valdez & Reyes, but Chang's defense at SS will be a plus.[ I think the lefty, Valdez stays on the 26 for a while.
  22. moonslav59
    Coffey has fanned 22 and walked zero in his last 2 starts combined (12 IP). (24 Ks and 0 BB in last 13 IP!) On the season, he has 61 Ks and 7 BBs with just 1 HR allowed 56 IP.
  23. moonslav59
    We could have 7 lefties in the line-up, 8 if McGuire would catch Sale and Turner with a day off. C McGuire 1B Casas 3B Valdez SS Kike ® 3B Devers LF Tapia CF Duran RF Dugo DH Yoshida
  24. moonslav59
    His .210 BAbip might indicate just plain ole bad luck, and as a rookie, he's not getting many close balls & strike calls, so maybe there is some major room for improvement. We could use it real soon, like starting tonight!
  25. moonslav59
    I have just about no hope he improves or finds a niche as a RP'er. He does have one instance in his history of righting the ship to a significant degree. He was decent from the trade in 2020 until those 3 bad starts to start July 2022 and then meh until the start of 2023, when he imploded and regressed back to where he was before the trade or worse.
