  1. It would take an injury to Casas or Turner for Dalbec to be chosen as a SEP call up. I’m not even sure he’d get the call unless both went down.
  2. Giolito as a 2 month rental will not cost as much as some seem to think.
  3. I’m not convinced JH will keep us near the middle in spending. He will “pounce,” as I like to call it, at some point. We can’t know the 5th ranked system will produce a mix of players that all can gel at the same time and win us another ring, but I applaud the attempt and strategy. I plan on living beyond 2023 and well beyond 2033.
  4. We’ve now won 6 of 7 series, many against good or very good teams. Don’t listen to those who will tell you the league is watered down. Don’t listen to those who continue to harp on the series loss to OAK. Beating damn good teams at least hints at the idea we are, too.
  5. Indeed, not just CS%, framing and blocking skills and hitting.
  6. Good ole Mike “pick the ball up when it stops” Greenwell.
  7. One of the few who did. Others aren’t even posting anymore.
  8. The team sucked after the Vaz trade, so fans would have been pissed no matter how well or poorly Vaz and McGuire did. Didn’t hear much about it after we dropped out of contention and Vaz sucked with HOU, and RM did well for a few weeks. Let’s move on.
  9. I’m fine with keeping Pivetta, Crawford, Whitlock and Houck in the pen. We can use that “not broken…” on all of them. Someone has to start, unless we trade for two SPers. That’s what I would do, but we may not even get one decent SPer at the deadline.
  10. We are on separate pages.
  11. No utility guy leads the league in rbis.
  12. Yes, the way it was done, his "team leadership," plus the fact that we added almost nobody or any fame. It was more than just Vaz. My point was fans stay upset, even if the guy they got upset about trading sucked afterwards. It doesn't matter if Paxton does well, sucks or gets hurt after a hypothetical trade. The fans will still be upset. Last deadline, we tried to walk a thin line and keep the fans as happy as we felt they needed to be. It didn't work. We sucked, anyway. We went over the tax line, as a result of walking that line. We hurt our longer term outlook. Fans stayed angry and IMO got even more angry. It didn't matter than McGuire did better than Vaz or that Pham did okay. All that mattered is, we still sucked. (Totally understandable and predictable.).
  13. Here is a better breakdown of two 25 game stretches by Pivetta: May 7-Sept 17, 2022 10-7 3.85 ERA in 25 GS. Sept 21, 2020 to Aug 14, 2021 11-5 4.02 ERA in 25 GS
  14. Pivetta has had two very nice and rather lengthy stretches as a SP'er with us. I won't count his short 2020 time with us: 2-0 1.80 (2GS/10 IP) The two... 6-1 3.78 first 12 GS in '21/ 64 IP (7-3 4.10 after 17 GS/92 IP) 12-8 3.62 middle 20 GS/122 IP (12-8 4.13 final 28 GS/159 IP) The guy has shown he can start and do well for long stretches. I'm fine keeping him in the pen, but I'm not afraid of him starting, either.
  15. That was a very good team we just beat, somewhat convincingly, I might add.
  16. We just got Reyes back. Story to follow.
  17. Who will lead the team in OPS at the end of the season? A. Devers .858 B. Yoshida .888 C. Turner .836 D. Duran .878 E. Duvall .840 F. Dugo .780
  18. Before tonight's excellent game, he had a 1.76 ERA in his last 14 games and 31 IP. .390 OPS Against WOW! His ERA was 6.30 on May 20th. 5.08 on June 20th 4.44 on July 20th 4.11 after tonight's game.
  19. I'm from Maine. My parents still have a place on Lake Sebago, and that's where I go every summer. I try to stay 3-5 weeks.
  20. Me, too. (I'm on my way back from Maine. Will stop in PIT, tomorrow.)
  21. Isn't Kike's last name Cora?
  22. Don't look now, but Pivetta's ERA is nearing sub 4.00.
