    I liked Vaz, overall, despite some shortcomings, but at his age and FA status, it was time to move on. Not needing to go out and spend money or prospect capital to replace him, was a slick move by Bloom. Catcher OPS 2023: .701 (13th in MLB) 2022: .693 (8th in MLB) I'm 100% certain the D is better, this year. dWAR 1.8 Wong and -0.2 McGuire 1.3 Vaz and -0.3 Plawecki How each catching tandem handles the staff is hard to figure out, because the staffs are so vastly different.

    We are on pace for 86 wins. 5 out of 15 picked 81-90 wins. 10 picked 71-80.

    TOR lost to BAL, so we have gotten some help, the last 2 days. Needing to beat the Dodgers, while others face much easier teams is a big task, but it is what it is. Let's hope we can cool Mookie down and whack their pitching like we did France.

    It's hard to get a read on how good he really is or can be. He had a .667 OPS before coming here. However, that was just 323 PAs, spread over 5 years. He did have almost 1300 PAs in AAA with a .787 OPS. (.750 at AA in 565 PAs) This might not be a fluke.
  6. moonslav59
    Yes, and Abreu is pretty good, too.
  7. moonslav59
    Indeed, and he broke his day game curse.
  8. moonslav59
    I added a couple above. We may also see Rosier, EValdez or S Scott making an impact.
  9. moonslav59
    Some of the issues Dugo has had, this year, might make it more likely he gets traded, but he is our best defensive OF'er once Duvall's control ends.
  10. moonslav59
    Depends what the guys playing, instead do. Certainly benching is a possibility, if Abreu keeps raking, like this.
  11. moonslav59
    Masa can DH and all 3 hot OF'ers can still play, but I'd rather play Turner and Casas than Masa. I agree, sit Masas a couple games. Maybe it will help him, too.
  12. moonslav59
    Next 3 series: BOS: 3 LAD, 3 HOU, 3@KCR TOR: 3 CLE, 3 WSH, 3@COL HOU: 3@DET, 3@BOS, 3 NYY SEA: 3 KCR, 3 OAK, 3@NYM
  13. moonslav59
    The Jays play the O's tonight, but as of now, here are the standings: 71-56 SEA 72-57 HOU 70-57 TOR -1.0 68-60 BOS -3.5
  14. moonslav59
    I seriously doubt we trade Duran- or Casas- or any young player with talent, but we need pitching, and to get good young pitching, you have to trade something to get something. It's not be giving up on anyone. It's not me devaluing or undervaluing anyone. To trade anyone for a top young pitcher, to me, shows just how much I do value them. I'd be fine with Duran/Ref/Yoshida in LF, Rafaela/Duran in CF and Abreu/Rafaela in RF, but if Yoshida will be our FT DH, I could see us bring back Duvall, in case Rafaela and or Abreu go through some growing pains.

    Our starters have been struggling, but so has the Astros rotation. 5.49 Bello in previous 6 GS before today. 5.15 Paxton in previous 7 GS. 5.40 Houck in last 9 GS. 5.21 Pivetta in last 5 games (some not starts) 5.14 Sale in 3 starts since returning Astros: 7.33 Javier last 10 7.24 Urquidy last 7 6.37 H Brown in 9 5.82 Valdez last 9 1.94 JP France in 7 before today.

    7-8-9-1 batters: 14-24 w 1 BB, 3 2Bs & 3 HRs (9 RBI)
  19. moonslav59
    My numbers were USA not Maine. I'm sure Maine's numbers declined, as the state is seeing it's average age rise.
  20. moonslav59
    Indeed. Duran/Ref platoon in LF Rafaela in CF Abreu RF (Verdugo traded?) (Yoshida to DH?)
  21. moonslav59
    Even the replacement rotation carried the team for a while. Our worst starters were 3 thought to be original SP'ers: Kluber, Whitlock & Houck.

    Under 18 Population in USA 69.7M 1970 63.8M 1980 63.6M 1990 72.3M 2000 74.2M 2010 73.1M 2020
  23. moonslav59
    0 is a crooked number, too.
  24. moonslav59
    He was coming off an injury. 2020-2021 .247 BA .338 OBP .417 SLG .756 OPS (22 HRs, 58 XBHs and 90 RBI per 650 PAs) Career +2.0 dWAR and can play 3B, SS and 2B
  25. moonslav59
    Seems like the 7th inning.
