    In 2021, correct. I figured out, later, this is what you meant.

    They didn't need an OF'er? Our OF was close to the worst in MLB, last year. We had the 4th worst OF fWAR in MLB, last year and the 6th worst season in the last 2 seasons individually. I'm not defending protecting him over Ward. I made the point he is not in the same class as Rafaela- too skilled to leave unprotected, even if not ready for 2023 use, per se. Maybe, they felt someone would take him, and they think, over time, he will grow into a worthy player, but who knows if he will, or not? You'd think he's playing FT SS in AAA and doing well. He can even PR. We have 4 middle IF'er down, and he's still not high enough on the depth chart? I remember with Duran, the thought was his defense was so bad, we didn't want to place him in a position to embarrass himself.

    When have I ever gone nutty over any one decision Cora has made? Hell, I'm one of the few who still defend it being reasonable that Grady left Pedro in. As much as I disliked Bobby V, I don't think I bashed individual game moves. There is just too many moving parts none of us are privy to, to be so emphatic over any one choice. (Someone may dig up some old post to prove me wrong, but I don't go nutty over game moves.)

    We need to face the fact that we will never have everyone healthy at the same time, which is what is needed to knock Ort, Bleier and Brasier off the 26, so as much as Bloom did to build up the pen, we still need more additions. Paxton will join the club, next week, but someone else will probably do on the IL. Right now, we have 4 pitchers on the IL and 2 on the 60s: Whitlock Paxton Crawford Joely 60: Kelly Mills

    I'm not straddling the fence. "Insisted" implies a hard stand. I never take a hard stan against Cora. He knows more than I do, and I accept that. I won't reply to your baiting.

    Murphy pitched well in the Woo 4-2 loss. 4 IP, 4H, 1ER, 2BB, 3K 3-4 Allen w 2B & 17th SB 2-4 Goodrum 2-4 Sogard w 2B POR lost 5-4 Sharp finally had a bad day (5.1, 7, 4, 4, 0) 3-4 Sikes w 2B & HBP 2-4 Yorke w BB GRE won 7-3 4-4 Mayer w HR and two 2Bs 2-3 Bonaci w BB 2-3 Miller w HR & BB SAL lost 5-3 2-5 Ravelo 2-3 Mejicano w 2B 2-4 James 0-4 Bleis w 3Ks

    Hamilton does not have the skillset of a guy like Rafaela, who was protected not to use in 2023, but for the future. This situation reminds me of Duran situation, where they held off calling him up.
  8. moonslav59
    I never insisted. Houck has sucked the third time through- just about every game. At some point they have to take the training wheels off. Max, almost every game Houck sucks the 3rd time through, he looked to be in total control up to that moment.
  9. moonslav59
    I love when someone says this kind of thing.
  10. moonslav59
    Right move: taking Houck out. Wrong move: brining in Bleier or Brasier. That being said, if Bloom found someone to replace those two, this may not happen.
  11. moonslav59
    I knew I shouldn't have dissed Schwarber with a game left to play v PHI.
  12. moonslav59
    Houck with just 30 pitches after 3. Let's hope he handles the lineup better the second and maybe third time through and start to change the narrative.
  13. moonslav59
    Has Kike turned the corner on SS D? 0 Errors last 5 games 2 Errors last 12 games (both in 1 game) 6 in first 12 games.

    1976 Brawl: 1967: Pedro-Zimmer: VTek-ARod Rice v Yankee hat stealer: One more...
  15. moonslav59
    Despite Bill Lee having a bad 1976 season, thanks to that brawl, the rotation still had several SP'er under 3.55: 3.06 Tiant 3,07 Cleveland (2.44 as SP) 3.27 Jenkins 3.36 Rick Jones (3.00 as SP) 3.53 Wise (Dick Pole was 4.33, Kreuger 4.06 and Lee was 5.63.)
  16. moonslav59
    All our pitchers with more than a 2.0 bWAR are relievers: 1.0 Wink 0.6 Jansen (under 11 IP) 0.6 Schreiber 0.5 Crawford (some starts) 0.4 Martin (just 10 IP) 0.4 Bernardino (just 8.1 IP) fWAR 0.6 Sale 0.5 Jansen 0.4 Wink 0.3 Houck 0.2 Schreiber 0.1 Crawford, Bleier & Bernardino
  17. moonslav59
    Indeed! Duvalll is still 5th, and he played just 8 games. Valdez is +0,3 in 10 games
  18. moonslav59
    Here is a bWAR comp: -0.8 Casas+ Kike+ Arroyo +0.7 Valdez+ Chang+ Ref + McGuire +2.8 Duran, Wong & Tapia
  19. moonslav59
    Speaking of bWAR, what would posters think our record would be, if I told you back in March, our 3 top bWAR players would be Dugo, Duran and Wong. Of the 12 plus bWAR players on the Sox, 7 are... Duran Wong Tapia Valdez Chang Ref McGuire
  20. moonslav59
    fWAR is 0.6 Wong (78 PAs) 0.3 McGuire (60 PAs) No catcher is going to catch every game, and it looks like we are matching pitchers with their binkies. If Wong keeps hitting, maybe we DH him, when he doesn't catch.
  21. moonslav59
    Four middle IF'er on the IL: Story, Mondesi, Arroyo and Chang. Will Hamilton get a look-see?
  22. moonslav59
    It looks like Paxton will pitch at some point during the three-game series between the Cardinals and Red Sox from May 12-14. -MLBTR
  23. moonslav59
    The ole hammy.
  24. moonslav59
    Cards move Contreras off the catcher position.
  25. moonslav59
    RIP Vida Blue He almost became a Red Sox (with Joe Rudi), but Bowie Kuhn nixed the trade (and the Rollie Fingers to Yankee one, too.)
