    Since the Sox are notorious for having caddy-catchers, I'm not sure we have seen 7 straight starts in 7 days by a catcher in a long time.

    That's why I forgot to complain, this time.

    If Murphy starts or follows an opener, it would make sense to have Caleb Hamilton catch him, since he has already, this year. BTW, C Hamilton does have MLB experience. He played in 22 games with the Twins, last year.

    It takes longer than that to draft/sign IFA and develop an starter like Bello. DD signed Bello as an IFA in 2017. That's 6 years ago, and I'd like to think Bloom & Co. had something to do with developing Bloom, Houck and Whitlock into what they are, today, as well as unsung pitchers like Crawford and Winckowski. Maybe not.

    We have 6 games in a row, three times before the deadline. We should only need a 5th starter 3 times before August 1st. I do not want us letting any of our starters go on one day less of rest, and it wouldn't help anyway, unless we used two on short rest in any of those 6 game stretches. If Houck can be ready after the all star break, we only need 2 starts (Walter/Murphy?) We have no stretches longer than 6 games until after the deadline.

    The night went pretty good for Sox fans. We get a win, despite being outhit 8-4. The A's beat the Jays. The Rangers beat the Yanks. Seattle is up 13-1 on the O's in the 9th. HOU is losing 3-2 to LAD in the 6th. (The Rays killed the Royals.) We are now... 1.5 GB NYY 0.5 GB TOR & LAA
  9. moonslav59
    Yes, I forgot our last one. Interesting win. Our 5, 6 and 7 hitters went 0-12 w 11 Ks! Hamilton with a ket SB. Devers with another big bomb. The pitching has been buttah!

    I agree, but he has some things to work on. Big thanks to DD for signing him as an IFA (2017). Big thanks to the system under DD & Ben for helping him develop into our best looking young pitcher since Lester.

    17, right? Outhit 8-4. Outerred 2-1.
  14. moonslav59
    If I had told anyone our top 2 starters would have ERAs under 3.28, and their names were Paxton and Bello, who would have believed it?
  15. moonslav59
    I was thinking, since Cora said Pivetta is needed as a long man in the pen, he might pitch the 8th.
  16. moonslav59
    Bello looked really sharp, tonight. He's got his ERA down to 3.27. He's brought his ERA down, every game but one since his opening day implosion. Take away that first game, and Bello has done this in his 11 starts: 2.70 ERA 63.1 IP 55 Hits 20 BB 57 Ks
  17. moonslav59
    I would not bench Casas anymore than scheduled days off, and since Turner can play 1B while Yoshida DH's, I can't see using Dalbec at 1B. Plus he sucks on D at 1B. Casas has been coming along since the first week of the season. .745 OPS since April 9th (.345 OBP) .789 OPS since April 24th (.352 OBP) .810 OPS since May 23rd (.366 OBP) .930 OPS since June 16th (.370 OBP) He's hitting LHPs about the same as RHP's, so I don't see a platoon called for. If Dalbec is going to play SS, God bless our team.

    Wild Card Race BAL +5 NYY and HOU ties for #2-3 slots -0.5 LAA -0.5 TOR -2.5 BOS -4.0 SEA -4.5 CLE Our schedule up to the trade deadline August 1st: 3 @CWS OFF 3 MIA 3 ATOR OFF 3 TEX 3 OAK All Star Break (4 Days) 3 @CHC 3 @OAK OFF 3 NYM OFF 2 ATL OFF 3 @SFG 3@SEA With so many days off, we might be able to get by with 4 dependable SP'ers until the deadline, but I sure hope Houck returns soon.

    Best Records vs .500+ Teams 29-16 TBR 21-15 ATL 22-16 SFG 23-19 BAL 28-24 BOS 19-18 TEX 20-19 AZ These are the only teams with winning records on this split. And there I was thinking playing less good teams, this year, was helpful
  20. moonslav59
    If we pay his whole salary, some team might think he's a better option than what they have- based on hopes that his first 2+ months were just a bad stretch. I doubt we get a McGuire in return, but a single A prospect with a half a chance would be worth it for us. It's slightly better than a plain DFA.
  21. moonslav59
    We could pay his full salary, and I doubt anyone would take him.
  22. moonslav59
    Hey! The CWS took Diekman and his salary and gave us McGuire on top of that! Maybe...
  23. moonslav59
    Ooops.
