    We got worse in 2019, way worse in 2020, better in 2021, worse in 2022, but still better than 2020, and then better in 2023. I think we will be even better in 2024, because we have less major need areas, and the farm infusions are making an impact, finally!

    LOL! I still think the 2018 Sox team beats any team from the 70's, 80's, 90's and maybe even the 2003 and 2004 teams.

    I think being younger mad the game more enjoyable, but I wouldn't say the quality of players was better then.

    Maybe it took a couple weeks to set in.
  5. moonslav59
    Indeed! cots shows the same. Good for us!

    Turner is no fluke. 2023: .845 OPS 1.095 High Leverage 1.070 Late & Close 2022: .788 OPS .861 High Leverage .956 Late & Close Career: .833 .854 High Leverage .801 Late & Close Just don't get me to admit it's a "sustainable skill."

    I couldn't make it through 30 seconds.

    It's like the second Ref signed that extension, he fell off a cliff. I do still like Schreiber, despite his recent meltdown.
  9. moonslav59
    The past was not all that great until 2004, in terms of the Sox meeting up with the Promise Land- too bad the league was waterdown by then.
  10. moonslav59
    He did well with the Dodgers in the playoffs. He also has a higher career OPS in high leverage than not. (.854 high)

    Just like that, our 2B slot seems to be okay for 2024 with Urias and Reyes. Hardly cost much at all, although urias may make more than $4M, next year, on his final arb year.

    This list of ow cost additions that have failed or failed badly is a long one under Bloom's tenure with the Sox. It was an area he was supposed to be good at, but even the best have plenty of failures. Here are some lower cost players who did okay or better for us, considering the money or cost in acquiring them being rather low. Pillar (FA) Arroyo (Waivers) Munoz & Puello (FAs) Pivetta (trade) Whitlock (Rule 5) Renfroe (FA) Ottavino (basically for nothing) Y Rios (for cash) Schwarber (A Ramirez trade) Robles (trade) T Shaw (Waivers) Iggy (SEPT FA) Robles Schreiber (Waivers) Refsnyder (FA) Wacha ($7M bargain) R Hill ($5M bargain) Strahm (FA) McGuire (and dumped Diekman) Tapia Bernardino (Waivers) Reyes (for cash) Urias (trade) Players Bloom acquired who struggled with us, but then improved after leaving: Springs Perez TBD Z Kelly (FA) W Abreu/ E Valdez (Vaz trade) C Rosier & M Ferguson (Groome trade) W Mills (trade) Nick Robertson (Kike trade) Barraclough (MiFA) Jacques (MiRule 5) I'm sure I missed some. I'm sure some feel a name or two don't belong on this "Okay to good" list.

    All the TOR-BOS series ave been sweeps (2 by BOS & 1 by TOR.) If we sweep them, the next time, we may get in by going 4-3 or even 3-4 v HOU, but yes, beating HOU, badly, would bring us right into the mix.
  14. moonslav59
    Kinda like Schreiber and Refsnyder?
  15. moonslav59
    The Astros play more "easier" series than we do, but they still have some tough series to go... 7 v BOS 3 @ TEX 3 v BAL They end the season with 3@SEA 3@ARI

    But this is my favorite cover of that great song by The Cure...

    We may not need SEA to lose, if we pass HOU and TOR- the teams we play head-to-head.
  21. moonslav59
    I'm fine with streakiness, as long as the end result is over .850. Sometimes, a team needs one hot player to carry them all by himself. The other thing about his "slumps:" usually his worst stretches he hits around .700. Others have long stretches of .600 or even .500-.550 ball.
  22. moonslav59
    6-4 might be okay, if it's 5-2 v HOU and 1-2 v LAD.
  23. moonslav59
    It's been over 102 with heat indexes between 110-118 everyday since we came back from maine on August 1st. It never gets below 80 at night. The humidity is oppressive. We have already decided, we are never retiring here.
  24. moonslav59
    That may or may not be true, but if true, it might not be a bad thing. My dream came true: Devers Forvers!
  25. moonslav59
    I'd include Bernardino in that mix.
