    We now have 3 SP'ers under 5.00- HURRAY! Two are close. 4.08 Bello 4.72 Sale 4.99 Houck 5.14 Whitlock 5.14 Paxton That's a big improvement over Kluber (6.26) and Pivetta (6.15). Perhaps the biggest saviors of our staff have been our #6 & 7 IP leaders: 32.1 Winckowski 2.23 ERA 30.0 Crawford 3.30 ERA No more Brasier (7.29), maybe no more Ort (7.30) and hopefully not much more of Bleier (5.85.) More from... 1.32 Martin 2.12 Schreiber 3.45 Jansen That looks like a solid 10 pitchers. The next 3 are kind of sketchy, but we have a few to pick from: Bernardino Joely Rodriguez Garza, Sherriff or a resurgence from Kluber, Pivetta or Bleier More likely, we grab an arm or two at the deadline.

    Houck vs RHP Kelly One game at a time! Get the win, and we will be tied for the 8th best record in MLB. So Sox!
  3. moonslav59
    Like more of Pivetta?

    The positive spin on our rotation: #1 Sale 4-1 2.23 last 5 starts (.539 OPS Against) #2 Bello 4-1 2.57 last 5 starts (.735 OPS Against) #3 Paxton 2 good starts of his 3, this year (2.45 ERA after first 2 starts) #4 Houck 9 starts: 4 good/4 bad and good last time out (4.99 ERA in 2023/3.84 FIP/ .688 OPSA) #5 Whitlock Nice last start. A friend once told me, "A pitcher is only as good as his last start." (Or was that Max? )

    Exactly. We did offer Nate much more for one year. I'm pretty sure we'd have taken Wacha at $7.5M/1.
  7. moonslav59
    Lots of good things happened, tonight. I'm hopeful we can keep the groove going. We seem to be streaky, this year.

    WC Race +3.0 BAL +0.5 HOU +0.0 NYY -2.0 BOS -2.0 LAA -3.0 SEA -3.5 TOT Best MLB records 7. NYY 31-24 8. AZ 29-23 9. BOS 28-24 9. LAA 28-24 11. MIL 27-25 If we beat AZ, tomorrow we can be tied for the 8th best record in MLB. That being said, we are also one game from being tied for 15th and 2 games from tied for 20th.

    Nice win. Have we finally identified (not solidified just yet) all 5 rotation slots?
  10. moonslav59
    So, there actually was a reason Bloom signed the bum. Those damn metrics!!!!
  11. moonslav59
    He even hit the mid 70's from time to time.
  12. moonslav59
    I'm not big on sac bunts, but that was nice.

    Kike coming through- 2 games in row!

    Catchers couldn't even catch the knuckleball. How could you hit it?
  17. moonslav59
    Where did I even hint at wanting Kluber and or Pivetta starting? I'm happy Whitlock is starting tonight,/ instead of him. I just think he's better in the pen. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. Like Houck, I think ge may grow into being a good SP'er.
  18. moonslav59
    He may just go 3-4, tonight. I like him as a RP'er much more, too- as with Houck.
  19. moonslav59
    It’s not just about looking at the current ERAs. Whitlock is the better pitcher. We just don’t know how well anyone will pitch on a given day. Whitlock had to recover from an injury and certainly has had some struggles. I’m hopeful he is nearing his previous form but yes, who knows who will be better tonight. Nobody.
  20. moonslav59
    He may earn his way into more meaningful innings, eventually, but until he does better, this is his reality.
  21. moonslav59
    There is always some reason we win other than us just being the better team.
  22. moonslav59
    And so soon after the luckiest season in history!
  23. moonslav59
    The drop in walks is frightening, but being more aggressive has proven to be helpful, too. Maybe we can find a way to do both very well.
  24. moonslav59
    Keep doing what you do best and work on improving areas you don't.
  25. moonslav59
    His approach was not all that bad in April, but he certainly tweaked it just right in May. The kid is just barely over 250 career PAs and has a .724 OPS. He's going to get a very long leash and will have some times of struggles along the way. I like what I've seen, but he is no guarantee- just yet.
