    Well, Kike has a better 2023 OPS. He has 127 PAs, and you call him "utility." Arroyo has 74 PAs, and his OPS was greatly boosted by the recent 3 game stretch, and I'm not getting what "cherry picking" means? Any day of the week? How about the days in October 2021? (Now, that's some cherry picking.)

    Sox by Most in PAs: 146 Turner 144 Dugo 141 Devers 127 Kike 120 Yoshida 106 Casas 74 Arroyo 74 Wong 68 Duran 59 Ref 56 McGuire 47 Chang 40 Tapia 37 Duvall 33 Valdez 11 Dalbec Total Batters Faced 138 Houck 134 Pivetta 134 Sale 131 Kluber 102 Crawford 88 Winckowski 82 Bello 74 Brasier 65 Schreiber 62 Ort 57 Bleier 38 Martin 35 Jansen 34 Kelly 27 Bernardino Plus...

    Don't let these updated Sox OPS numbers knock you over! 1.544 Duvall (I wonder where he'd be at if not injured.) 1.139 Duran (Many of us felt he should never get another chance, unless we were eliminated.) .948 Yoshida (So much for the mega overpay talk.) .897 Dugo (Finally living up to the hopes many of us had.) .849 Devers (Hard to imagine him T5th in team OPS.) .849 Wong (What a pleasant surprise!) .833 Valdez (They kid could always hit- at least vs RHPs.) .779 McGuire (Keeping up his Red Sox success story. His Red sample size is nearly = his White.) .766 Turner (If he continues his traditional second half success, this could be a career year.) .715 Tapia (Looked more promising in ST'ing, but doing okay.) .664 Kike (Started heating up, but has leveled off a bit.) .662 Ref (Was last year a fluke?) .636 Arroyo (Had a great 3 game stretch.) .587 Casas (If he heats up, double wowzah!) .586 Dalbec (May not get another look in 2023.) .515 Chang (The race is on for who comes back, first: Story, Mondesi or Chang.)

    Trend shift? Sale: 2 of last 3 starts were 1 ER in 6 IP. 12.1 IP, 6H, 2 ER, 2BB, 16K Bello: last 2 starts: 10 IP 11H, 3ER, 3BB, 12K (2.70 ERA) Houck: 3.88 FIP last 5 starts (team is 4-1) Take away a couple big and bad innings, and... Kluber: 5.54 last 5 GS is about the best I can come up with. 3 of 5 starts with 3 or less ERs. Pivetta: 5.61 last 5 GS (4.99 FIP) 3 of 5 last starts with 3 or less ERs.

    You crack me up. How is what you are doing not cherry picking? You spoke of ceilings, so I showed examples of what Kike's is. Arroyo can't prove he is good enough or even stay healthy enough to get over 300 PAs in a season. Kike, "the utility man" has over 342 PAs 5 times (5 in the last 6.) He has over 400 in 4 of the last 5 seasons. No cherries to pick, there.

    Not sure Mata is starting to come around, despite just 1 ER: 4IP, 2H, 1ER, 6BB, 1K Joely pitched a scoreless 5th to get the win. Hamilton hit his 6th HR Dalbec 2-3 w 2B 2nd Game: Dermody 6 IP, 5H, 2ER, 0BB, 5K for the tough loss. Woo had 3 hits in the 2-1 loss. As Red pointed out, Drohan had another great night. His ERA is now 0.62. Guerrero got his 5th save (1.80 ERA.) Rosier homered. Yorke 1-4 Kavadas 1-2 w 2BB GRE lost, again. 1-5 Mayer 1-3 Ferguson w 2BB Salem was one hit in a 7-0 loss.

    He doesn't want the other teams to think we are running up the score on them.
  9. moonslav59
    We just passed TOR and are hanging tight with the O's (3 GB second place in the mighty ALE!) Run diff: 114 TBR 69 TEX 28 LAA 27 MIN 26 BAL 25 BOS 22 HOU 9 SEA 4 NYY 1 TOR Games vs >.500 Teams: 27 BOS (14-13) 20 NYY (9-11) 18 HOU (11-7) 16 MIN (8-8) 16 TOR (7-9) 13 TBR (9-4) 13 LAA (4-9) 12 TEX (7-5) 12 BAL (6-6) 12 CLE (4-8) 9 SEA (2-7)

    We are beating good teams. We are beating good pitchers. We are scoring like runs grow on trees. Gotta like what we are seeing, lately!
  11. moonslav59
    You jinxed the Bra Man!
  12. moonslav59
    Yup
  13. moonslav59
    4 batters in a row with 3 hits: Yoshida Turner Devers Duran
  14. moonslav59
    BAL scores 5 in the 8th and 9th to beat KC. The Rays beat PIT 3-2. They are 5-1 in one run games. It's going to be hard to catch these two.

    He wants you to ask him to stop making errors.
  16. moonslav59
    Interceptions have put many a team behind in all eras. My use of Elway as an example may be based on a lot of anecdotal evidence, and I'd like to see what Elway's QBR was in each of his comeback wins, before the comeback began. Compare those numbers to Brady, and my guess is the difference will be stark.
  17. moonslav59
    Rumors of Devers demise have been greatly exaggerated.
  18. moonslav59
    Even some of the deals from a while back, that some judged before the return players played their full team control years, are looking better. Winckowski-Beni (The Cordero aspect soured many.) Dugo&Wong- Betts (Downs sucking distracted from the real prizes) Valdez& Abreu- Vazquez (Vaz was never going to be re-signed.) I won't go so far as to say Hamilton is bettering the Renfroe trade, but who knows?
  19. moonslav59
    Some hits have looked kinda lucky, tonight, but some outs have been hard one.
  20. moonslav59
    Kike has played way more than Arroyo, and not just due to Arroyo's many injuries. He has sat many games due to manager's choice. If 2022 was Arroyo's ceiling at .736, why neglect Kike's .786 in 2021, along with an explosive playoff show. .806 in 2018 .836 in 2015 He's .730 career, which is about what Arroyo hit in 2022. As for defense at 2B, Arroyo is no whiz... 17 DRS in 1761 innings Kike 9 DRS in 1044 innings Arroyo

    It's hard to even come up with the 13 everyday player list, if everyone is healthy and looking good. 9 No Brainers Devers Dugo Yoshida Story Duvall Kike Turner Wong McGuire 2 have to take a dive to not be on the 26: Duran Casas 2 likely to stay/add: Mondesi Arroyo Have options: Chang EValdez Refsnyder No chance: Dalbec Tapia Abreu Hamilton Rafaela Since Story and Mondesi are on the 60, we'd likely have to DFA 2 everyday players to make room for them: 1 from Chang/Hamilton Tapia My line-up: v R 1. L Yoshida LF 2. L Devers 3B 3. R Duvall DH 4. L Verdugo RF 5. R Story SS 6. R Turner 1B or L Casas 1B 7. L Duran CF or R Kike CF 8. R Kike 2B or L Valdez 2B 9. L McGuire C /R Wong C vs L 1. L Yoshida LF 2. L Devers 3B 3. R Duvall CF/DH 4. R Story SS 5. L Verdugo RF 6. R Turner 1B 7. R Kike 2B/CF 8. R Arroyo 2B or L Duran CF 9. R Wong C/ L McGuire C

    Lots of talk down here in HOU about the pitch clock being part of the reason so many pitchers going on the IL. Your thoughts?
  23. moonslav59
    He's pretty good against lefties, too- just the first time facing them.
  24. moonslav59
    As long as it's not to Bloom, it's a good idea.
  25. moonslav59
    I looked him up. He was great in key moments, except that one game Auntie Jen was in the stands.
