    Don’t you root for all Sox players to do well?
  2. moonslav59
    I still root hard for JBJ and have hopes he can end up around.700, but I doubt he does.
  3. moonslav59
    Well, vaccines don’t prove you don’t have it either.

    My scalp has scabs from all the head-scratching.

    Proof of recent negative tests are enough for many other venues and were for public travel. I would not be surprised to see the rule changed, soon. Canada is not the only country with rules like this. Some are more strict.

    One must be RH’d and should be the better of two, or 2 righties makes the most sense. If we get someone who can play a decent RF and1B, that might be a great solution to 2 areas that are suspect, to say the least.

    Agreed on all. He's been an overall disappointment with his high RBI count being his saving grace. I don't mention his great defense and decent baserunning, because that was expected. We still have more than half a season to go. I expect his OPS to improve. We hear a lot about that "big week" carrying his numbers, and there is some truth to that, and he's not done better since then than he was doing before that week, but I'm still optimistic he comes around. .613 first 140 PAs (to May 18) 16 RBI 1.463 middle 33 PAs (5/19-5/26) 21 RBI .617 last 120 PAs (May 27>) 14 RBI

    And misguided. I was firmly against the JBJ trade and do not think he should be playing, except as a late inning defensive replacement at worst and a platoon at best. Had the troll known how to read, he'd have known that.

    I guess his 2 years in a row hitting over .800 was not enough, bec ause his BA was only .262. Forget the GG caliber D. Forget the .345 OBP those 2 years. Forget the 36 HRs and 130 RBI (26 HRs and 95 RBI per 650) His OPS+ was 118, but we don't need metrics to know the guy was a good hitter back then.

    My guess is we trade for 3 pieces: RP RP CF/RF/1B Kinda like last year, but Schwarber was LF/1B.

    BA neglects BBs and power. If we knew Duran would continue hitting like this, he'd play over almost any of our OF'ers. That's a big if.
  13. moonslav59
    My comment was made within the context of Kike returning and who we might demote or trade, and or if we trade for a 1Bman, who goes to AAA. Now, it looks like Kike's return is farther away. I support the idea that you keep as many on the 40 as possible, so you demote those with options, but who is best for the team, right now? Duran Refsnyder Cordero Dalbec Arroyo One or two may need to be demoted, traded or DFA'd by the time Kike returns or the deadline.

    BAL won again. They are a half game behind LAA & CWS for 9th in the AL. They are 1.5 behind TEX for 8th place.
  15. moonslav59
    He has 27 BBs, which is 2nd on the team...one behind the lead (28 by JD). We all knew he K'd a lot, but getting worse was not expected. Overall, he has not met expectations. I'm hopeful he will improve on the K rate and OPS. His defense has been outstanding.
  16. moonslav59
    That was certainly different.
  17. moonslav59
    All things must pass, as a great Beatle used to say. We've been taking 'em one game at a time, but this game was just too much for us to handle. At least we didn't need Houck. The pen looked good- AGAIN! Not much else to say that was good. I was hoping Seabold had a nice start. That's a tough place to get your first start. I hope he gets more chances, but it looks like Wink is firmly above him on the rotation depth chart.
  18. moonslav59
    I would guess the change up is the last pitch most pitchers "lose," and when they do lose it, it's more as a result of their other pitches not being as good as they once were, so the change-up is not as effective due to it not being as radically different from their other once productive pitches. (Note: this is just conjecture and not a statement of fact. Warning- Warning-Warning. Trolling may follow.)

    Certainly, these last few years, but he did have a shining moment in that short 2020 season to maybe keep hope alive for his next GM. Here are his 2 year incremental OPS: .548 (530 PAs) '13-'14 .834 (891) '15-'16 .722 (1076) '17-'18 .760 (784) '19-'20 .524 (650) '21-'22 It's really just his first and last 2 seasons that were unacceptably low for most OF'ers.
  20. moonslav59
    2 reach on catcher interferences in the same inning? How many times does that happen? You guys are blessed, this season.
  21. moonslav59
    I think he meant Kike. Wikelman Gonzalez, ranked #12 on soxprospects.com. https://www.soxprospects.com/players/gonzalez-wikelman.htm

    I never said you said it was the only way. We could keep this up forever, and that seems to be what you like doing, so it's time for me to stop talking to a troll. Bye, bye, troll. On ignore you go.

    Did you mean to say Casas won't be ready until next year? German has been more than okay. His .490 OPS Against is off the charts good. Bello, Murphy and Walter all took steps up, while Groome and Gonzalez maybe stayed even. Walter still has an insane K:BB ratio of 75:7 in under 58 IP! Wink & Seabold have both done about as well as you can do at AAA. Now, we await their MLB fate. I was never that high on Downs, so I wasn't shocked. I would not say Mayer has been "pedestrian." He's at .820 after his first 156 ABs. He's got a .352 OBP and 9 SB (0 CS) in just 38 games. Yorke has been a let down, so far, yes. Rafaela will jump many slots on the mid season ranking lists. Kavadas and Hickey look like gems. Jordan has stepped it up. All-in-all, I'd say there has been more good than bad, but it's not a landslide.
  24. moonslav59
    Soxprospects has Walter (and Mata) on the IL. I didn't hear anything about Walter, and I thought Mata was rehabbing.
  25. moonslav59
    Exactly. And forming an opinion based on the history of pitchers recovering from TJS should be enough to say "I think..."
