    14 Ks by Sox pitching. Nice!
  2. moonslav59
    Good answer. He's been all over the map.
  3. moonslav59
    Me, too. If I had to pick between the good side of okay or the bad, I'd go good.
  4. moonslav59
    Not a bad signing at $5M. Not great. Maybe not even good, but certainly not a bad one.
  5. moonslav59
    I ask, was Rich Hill's $5M/1 deal, good, bad or okay? 4.56 ERA 22 GS (2nd on team) 103 IP (3rd on team)

    Injuries matter. I don't think the Sox are as good as the 20-6 June Sox, but they aren't as bad as the injury-riddled 8-19 July Sox, either. I don't think their 12-16 August record reflects the team very well, either. The team seemed snake-bitten from opening day. It happens. Being in a division with so many good teams makes a difference. The O's are no longer a door mat, like we've thought for years. Hey, we're 5-4 in September. Our farm is playing well, and certain players seem to be busting out. Maybe I'm just "buying a fantasy," but I have to try and be optimistic about something. To me, and this is not meant as a slight on anyone else, it's what being a true fan means.

    Hamilton is on fire! He's 3 for 4 in the 6th inning with a single, double and triple, plus his 66th SB. His OPS is up to .728, now. Abreu walked his 110th time, this season! He stole a base, too while going 1-2, so far. Rafaela is 2-3 w 3 rbi
  8. moonslav59
    Hill should be a 2-3 inning RP'er. .726 First time facing a player .794 Second time .912 Third time .781 First 25 pitches .843 Pitch 26-50 Not counting today.

    Too bad Pham or Dugo can't play RF.
  10. moonslav59
    So, the Yankee collapse also has to do with playing a more difficult schedule later in the season, rather than having 15 players on the IL, too, right?
  11. moonslav59
    Ellsbury had a slow start at becoming a plus defensive CF'er.
  12. moonslav59
    Plus, being hot at the end of the year, including the playoffs, is better than the reverse.
  13. moonslav59
    It's the same as name-calling- basically calling us back fence gossipers, but by wording it differently, he thinks he's innocent.
  14. moonslav59
    Yes, but Lopez may cost the less due to 2 yrs of control v 3, 4 or 5+.
  15. moonslav59
    Me, too. I was just thinking that maybe both Luzardo (3 yrs remaining) and Lopez (2 yrs remaining) might be more available, especially since they have Cabrera (5 yrs remaining) in the wings. They'd still have: Alcantara 5 Rogers 4 Garrett 5 Cabrera 5 and 2 highly ranked pitcher in Perez (68.8 on BTV) Meyer (23.2)
  16. moonslav59
    He must have been bullied by geeks and nerds back in grammar school.
  17. moonslav59
    You'll get over it. It's okay.
  18. moonslav59
    True, but there is no FA on the market even like Cole. Offer Wacha QO and trade for Lopez.
  19. moonslav59
    Hey, they get the great Murphy & Seabold!
  20. moonslav59
    You can't get a top starter by trading prospects #10,11, 12, 13 and 14. My guess is any such trade would have to meet one of these criteria: 1. #2 Casas or #1 Mayer plus 1-2 others between 10-20. 2. Two from #5 Bleis, #4 Yorke, #6 Rafaela or #7 Mata plus maye a 10-20. 3. One from #5 Bleis, #4 Yorke or #6 Rafaela plus two from #7 Mata, #8 Walter, #10 Paulino, #15 Wikelman I'm not sure Bloom has it in him. It might take convincing from Kennedy or someone else. I am convince of one thing: we can't get way better without adding a top pitcher as just the first of several pitching additions or bring-backs (Wacha, too?)
  21. moonslav59
    I can't get on board with this. We need a durable horse in the rotation, and someone better than Pivetta. Syndergaard only checks one of those boxes. Over 25 starts twice in his career (2016 & 2019) Over 22 starts 5 times in 8 years. 24 starts in his last 3 years with a 4.17 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. I really think we need to trade for an ace. I know it sucks parting with top prospects, and Bloom might need to be forced to do it, but I don't see any FA pitcher that wows me.
  22. moonslav59
    A healthy Kike makes the team better. Let's give Bloom and apparently JH's open wallet a chance.
  23. moonslav59
    No, you added the games from 2nd to last place and .500, so it means something to you.
  24. moonslav59
    Biased: anyone who disagrees with a certain poster(s.)
  25. moonslav59
    That catch that robbed a HR was fantastic. He's really quite and athlete. I'm glad he's coming back. He needs to stay off the IL and maybe get over the slow start syndrome.
