    Becoming a .780 hitter makes it easier to swallow.
  2. moonslav59
    At least he didn't make up positions other held and knew how to read.
  3. moonslav59
    By cost, I meant $$$ and players/prospects in trade vs just $$$ for BLowe. BTW, KMartes AAV gets adjusted when traded.
  4. moonslav59
    That's why AS designations are viewed with skepticism by many. Same as GG Awards and the like.

    Song got roughed up in Woo's 6-5 loss, but Samaniego pitched well. Ward and Gasper had 2 hits. GRE is blasting off, tonight. 5 HRs- 2 by Cespedes. SAL got a rare win 1-0.

    softlaw the clown? Others called him worse. Those were the days, for sure. Having rings scattered between the years helped. One of the best songs has this ending... Don't you love farce? My fault, I fear I thought that you'd want what I want Sorry, my dear But where are the clowns? Don't bothеr, they're herе Quick, send in the clowns

    Welcome aboard.

    I'm far from giving up on him, but we need to add a serious middle infielder- more for Story than Mayer.

    BLowe is way cheaper than KMarte. KMarte was better a few years back. He turns 33 this October. BLowe turns 32 in a couple days. OPS/OPS+ 2026: .818/121 BLowe (20 HRs)/ .811/120 KMarte (17 HRs) 2025-2026: .798/117 BLowe (51 HRs)/.860/136 KMarte (45 HRs) 2024-2026 .793/119 BLOwe (72 HRs)/.887/143 KMarte (81 HRs)

    Gotta think Sandoval will be called up, soon. 5IP tonight: 1 Hit, 1BB & 7 Ks Eyanson relieved him and went 5 IP, 3H, 2 ER, 1BB, 7K for the win. Arias 1-3 and Winnay 2-4.
  11. moonslav59
    LOL. Good one.

    SEA beat TOR 11-0 and TEX lost to DET 3-0, so SEA now leads the ALW and TEX at 45-44 holds the final WC slot. The CWS are currently the 2nd WC team at 45-42, but you have to wonder if they can hold onto a playoff slot. (I wonder about TEX, too.) The Twins beat the Yanks 11-4, and it's always nice to see the Yanks lose, but MIN is a team we have a better chance at passing. Here are the WC standings before tonight's games: +4.5 NYY +1.0 CWS (at CLE) --- TEX -2.5 MIN -2.5 HOU (v TBR) -3.0 TOR -3.5 ATH (v MIA) -4.0 BAL (at CIN) -5.5 BOS (at LAA) -6.0 DET

    The key modern day slot is the #2 slot. Here are the numbers: .672 OPS as a team. GS (OBP/SLG) 38 Rafaela .302/.407 18 Contreras .372/.484 9 Story .119/.214 (horrible) 8 Gasper .294/.281 (What were we thinking?) 5 Durbin .304/.211 4 Monasterio .400/.471 3 Yoshida .357/.250 1 Duran .250/.000 The 3 slot at .724 has been better but still lacking: 55 Abreu .699 OPS 10 Duran .718 8 Yoshida .570 7 Anthony .690 5 Contreras 1.369 1 Gasper .833 Thanks to Willson, our 4 slot has been okay: 60 Contreras .891 10 Abreu .615 10 Story .530 5 Yoshida .697 1 Rafaela .000 Abreu has done very well batting 5th (1.061,) so it's too bad we have needed to bat him 3rd or 4th too often. Had we had a second big bat, maybe he'd have a better year.
  14. moonslav59
    The lead-off slot has been a major thorn in the side of the Sox offense. While the lack of a second big bopper has gotten much of the attention, the .293 OBP from our 1 slot has been hideous. We've had seven different players placed in the one slot of the line-up card. OBP/SLG 42 Duran .269/.409 (Killed us) 22 Anthony .347/.274 (Sad SLG but best OBP) 7 Gasper .250/.240 (worse than Duran) 5 Yoshida .350/.526 (SSS but the best on the team up #1) 4 Eaton .300/.294 (better than many) 4 Seigler .176/.188 (Yuk-a-doodle-doo!) 2 Rafaela .400/.556 (Tiny sample size)
  15. moonslav59
    1. Seigler 2B (Revolving door at the 1 slot) 2. Rafaela CF (Steady as anyone) 3. Abreu RF (Time to wake up the echoes) 4. Contreras 1B (Our only bopper) 5. Durbin 3B (Up to the 5 slot v the lefty) 6. Romy DH (Great vs lefties for a couple years) 7. Duran LF (7th vs the lefty, but maybe he stays here v R, too.) 8. Monasterio SS (Not many SS options) 9. Wong C (Better than Narvaez at the plate)
  16. moonslav59
    I'm not so convinced on KMarte, anymore. Paredes kinda reminds me of Abreu- still waiting for that elusive career bust out season. BLowe would be nice but he's not really a major big bat- just a major improvement. Jeffers & BLowe would be nice improvements, but we'd still need a big bat (SS or DH?)
  17. moonslav59
    I'm not sure we deserve 4 guys on the AS team, and Suarez would make 5, so probably no to him, Contreras and Ceddanne. Just Gray and Chapman, IMO. Suarez does have better numbers than Gray in many categories, but not the traditional W-L and ERA.
  18. moonslav59
    Some felt the money spent on Suarez should have been spent on a bat, so not all wanted or expected more money spent. I do think the Suarez signing was not in the top plans, and we would not have traded for Oviedo, had we known we would be adding Gray & Suarez. That trade capital could have been used on a bat upgrade. One more major trade could have been made that did not mean more money spent. Yes, many did want or demand more money be spent, but not all thought is was needed to better balance the roster.
  19. moonslav59
    Was Ole Red on B.com?
  20. moonslav59
    Thanks. I still think this is a type of deal we might make, but the other "sells" would have to be more 2027-centric.
  21. moonslav59
    Despite last nights win, I'm still in the "sell camp." That could change with a sweep, but even then, I'd be on the fence.
  22. moonslav59
    He has his own meanings for words and apparently punctuation, now too. If you call him out, you are "over analyzing." It's his fallback rather than adjusting or defending his comment. He's not worth responding to. Look up the word "Churlish" and his picture is there.
  23. moonslav59
    Congrats to Chapman for breaking the RP'er K record. He's been struggling his last 6 games (5IP: 5 Ks, 3BB and a 9.00 ERA with 3 saves and 2 BS,) but he's still having a very nice season. He had an 0.44 ERA in his first 21 games and 28 Ks in 20.2 IP (9BB and just 10 hits- zero HRs) Overall: 25.2 IP 33Ks and 12 BBs w 21 hits and still no HRs allowed. 2.10 ERA and 2.06 FIP
  24. moonslav59
    How close to the bigs are the two prospects SEA sends to BOS?
  25. moonslav59
    Here is one way to compare 2025 to 2026 on offense: 2025>>>/<<< 2026 .905 Devers (334 PAs) >>> ___________ .790 NLowe (119) .659 Toro (284) .580 Casas (112) <<< .912 Contreras (347 PAs) .825 Bregman (495) >>>.688 Durbin (282) .705 IKF (132) .664 KC (263) & ,590 DHam (194) <<< .705 IKF (132) .888 Seigler (49) .627 Monasterio (145) .859 Anthony (303) & .826 Romy >>> .675 Anthony (130) & .800 Romy (15) .681 Yoshida & .838 Ref (209) >>> .696 Yoshida (205) & .613 Gasper (119) .786 Abreu (417)>>> .763 Abreu (363) .774 Duran (696) >>>.599 Duran (343)*** .741 Story (654)>>> .547 Story (176)*** .708 Rafaela (587) << .767 Rafaela (329) .674 Mayer (136)>>> .594 Mayer (228)*** .500 Wong (188) <<<.777 Wong (114) .731 Narvaez (446) >>>.540 Narvaez (162)*** .731 Eaton (90) .661 Sogard (104) = .616 Eaton (34) .721 Sogard (41) Too many major swings and too many to the bad.
