Agreed. The fram produced only Houck from Devers in 2017 to maybe Casas & Bello.
-
I'm not convinced on the CERA early numbers, so maybe just starting McGuire at catcher more. I don't see better options replacing the others.
-
I'm not asking him to prove himself, again. It may help him to work things out without hurting the big club. I'm also suggesting maybe he just sit a few games, especially vs LHPs. We need McGuire's bat in the line-up- any other suggestions?

"Diamonds and Rust"

I don't think sending him down is giving up, but it's certainly not a vote of confidence. (I do see it as a way to work out something with his swing that is bothering him.) I'm not saying option 1 is the best choice, either. I do think we need to try to improve our offense, and right now, McGuire is one of our best hitters, and he has been since last August. Best Sox OPS since 8/1/22: .892 McGuire .889 Story .829 Dugo .800 Bogey .769 Turner .743 JD .716 Dalbec .784 Refsnyder

1. He could play in AAA and work on his hitting. ' 2. He could sit vs some tough lefties. I'm not talking about a permanent move, but with the way this team is hitting, our best (hottest) batters need to get ABs.

Brasier has 41 PAs Against. 3 have been high leverage (Opps are 0-3, here.) 8 medium leverage 30 low However, 13 have been "Late & Close," where he has a .237 OPSA (best on the team as a RP'er.)

Maybe they are not online at game's end? -
Maybe McGuire should DH and Turner play 1B.
-
It's getting close to the cycle, where the Sox jump in full force. The Price signing was right after the season they signed Pabito & HRam, which after factoring inflation are not much different from the Story & Yoshida signings, in terms of total money and years.
-
Yes, he's still under team control until after the 2025 season. My guess is, 2024 is his last season, but this guy is a tough cookie, which is not something usually said about a guy who has been on the IL so much and so often, recently.
-
I think jacko has been pretty rough on Sale's chances at returning to somewhere near what he was. I'm still trying to temper my excitement over last night's outing. He may still have some blips, along the way, but as I have said before, I don't know any baseball player that seems to be as fierce a competitor as... Chris Freakin' Sale!
-
I only had issues with how Vax handled the staff and said over and over I would was never in favor of benching him. I also said he had been a net plus. I like the two trade that essentially gave us McGuire and sent Vaz packing, because Vaz was a rental during what I felt was an already "lost season." I was also for trading anybody and everybody that was not tied down, and I certainly did not hate JD, Bogey, Wacha, Hill and Strahm. I got called out for wrongly claiming Red "hated" Kike, and I still have my doubts, but he never said it, and I've apologized. No way I would have paid what Vaz ended up getting from the Twins, but I wish him luck vs the Yanks, Jays, Rays...

It basically is a club option. If Sale earns the guarantee, we'll want him back at $20M/1. Cots... 25:$20M club option 2025 option guaranteed if Sale finishes in top 10 in 2024 Cy Young vote and is not on the injured list at end of 2024 season

Did you just say this outloud? (Advice: don't ever say "empty.")

Busting a gut, too early in the morning!

Has there ever been so many catcher interferences to start a season? Any ideas on why there have been so many? -
Untrue.
-
Just keep PH'ing McGuire! Maybe calling up Alfaro, so we can PH, more often, makes some sense. He could DH with Turner at 1B, when matchups don't favor Casas.
-
Nobody wants any pitcher starting who can't get his stuff together. Maybe Bello won't, this year or ever, but the potential we saw, last year, did not go away. Remember, the very season you saw potential in, he had a 10.50 ERA after his first 3 starts and 12 IP. This year, he has one start. Give the kid some time. He's got good stuff and some control issues. He had a 3.18 ERA in his last 10 games of 2022.

You are a fortune teller! -
WOO won 6-2.

True, but Feltman was a pitcher.
-
Ort will go first, so he'll be at 100 lives. Martin & Joely kindly went on the IL, so he could stick around longer.
-
Paxton should be called up, soon, and I can't see Crawford being sent down, so I'm thinking maybe Ort gets demoted. When Martin or Joely return, maybe Brasier gets DFA'd or traded (as if!) Of course, someone else will likely be sent to the IL before any of this happens.
