    I don't think a single poster advocated bringing him back over last winter.
  2. moonslav59
    How much info and scouting do they actually have on some of these guys?
  3. moonslav59
    ..and the Canadian Government, by some.
  4. moonslav59
    Okay. I wouldn't surprised to find out he pitched on shorter rest as much as getting an extra day's rest over his career due to his choice not to pitch on the Sabbath.
  5. moonslav59
    It sure looks like a great team deal, but there is still a long way to go. I'd be thrilled if Bogey agreed to a deal like this.
  6. moonslav59
    Koufax only missed one game? Are you counting being pushed back one day as a miss?
  7. moonslav59
    NBA Draft is tonight. I used to get excited, but with basically all Freshmen and foreign players taking up most of the slots, it's hard to keep track of who is who, anymore.
  8. moonslav59
    Point well-taken. I was responding to a post about Wacha, who is a pitcher your team will be facing a few times, but there is a better thread for this.
  9. moonslav59
    I respect any person's right to make choices like this and others, too, but if I think their choice is hurting the team, I think it is fair to express those concerns and opinions on sites like this.

    He does have his lowest K/9 rate in his career (6.6), but his BAbip (.260) is about the norm for SP'ers, this year, so I'm not sure he's been getting lucky. His FIP is one of the worst, among the leaders, but that low K rate will do that to anyone. The 23.2% LD% is one of the worst, but it's better than Gausman and Houser. Wacha's hard hit% of 30.7% is about middle of the pack and is better than Framber Valdez, McClanahan, Bueler, Pivetta and many other good pitchers, this year.

    Wacha has already been regressing, but he is still pitching well enough to keep us in most of his games. He pitched very well, at the end of last year, and that's what caught Bloom's eye. Yes, he's had his ups and downs over his career, with many more downs than ups after his first 3 seasons, but I think he's changed his approach since last August, and his numbers support that notion.[/b Top fWAR Pitchers since 8/21/21 (100+ IP): 4.4 Gausman & Alcanatra 4.0 Wheeler & Webb 3.9 Burnes 3.8 Nola 3.7 Fried 3.4 Scherzer & Cease 3.3 Rodon 3.2 Manoah 3.1 Mahle 3.0 Suarez & Cole 2.9 Musgrove & Montas 2.6 McClanahan 2.5 Gilbert & Urias 2.4 Martin Perez (98 IP) 2.3 Castillo, Gibson & Ohtani (99 IP) 2.2 Wainwright & Gallen 2.1 Skubal, Buehler & F Valdez 2.0 Pivetta, Eovaldi & Morton 35. Hill 1.7 (tied with Manaea) 36. Wacha 1.6 (tied with Montgomery) Note: who would have guessed Perez could be viewed as the one we let get away?

    It's going to be nice seeing Tito up close, again. He's done a great job with this team, as expected. It really sucked the way things ended with the Sox, but considering that situation, I still feel it needed to happen. I'm glad he landed in a good situation, for him, and he's proving why he was one of the best, if not the very best, Sox manager in history. Let's hope his efforts don't pay off in the next few games, but this should be a great series. Looks like Pivetta vs Quantrill. Some other projected match-ups are... Verlander (HOU) vs Severino (NYY) Keller (PIT) vs Springs (TBR) Manoah (TOR) vs Houser (MIL) As always... One game at a time!
  14. moonslav59
    All I will say is, "What a mess!"
  15. moonslav59
    To me, what is strangest is no retraction or adjustment to that statement, as a swirl of posts about my reaction to it has transpired.
  16. moonslav59
    Good summary. I'd add Story to the big 3. I'd also add that, like you mentioned with Pivetta, Wacha had and showed "front-line potential" over his first 2-3 sasins in the bigs. Maybe he can unlock and keep the door unlocked for a nother full season.
  17. moonslav59
    Updated WC Standings +1.5 TOR +1.0 BOS -- MIN -0.5 TBR
  18. moonslav59
    ...and a box of Milk Duds to the losing team.
  19. moonslav59
    They did comeback with 4 in the 7th to take the lead, so...
  20. moonslav59
    The tough 5 week stretch begins, but as always, one game at a time, guys! I started the thread early, because I'm hitting the road on my way to Maine and Sox Nation. TOR is at MIL. NYY & HOU duke it out in NYC. Rays host the Pirates, while MIN hosts COL. I'll say it, again, one game at a time, guys!
  21. moonslav59
    Rays lost. Waiting on CLE. We passed the Rays, now and are a half game up on CLE, who is losing. We are 1/2 game behind TOR and the 3rd best record in the AL. Some here, thought we could not do this over the course of 5 months. We did it in about 6 weeks. One game at a time, guys.
  22. moonslav59
    Urshela just homered to put MIN up on CLE 10-7 in the 7th. Yanks up 5-4 heading to the bottom of the 9th. Holmes on the mound.
  23. moonslav59
    CLE just scored 3 in the 7th to go up 7-6 on MIN. Maybe we should start thinking CLE>MIN and root for MIN to keep losing.
  24. moonslav59
    Wow, Pannone went 5.2 without walking anybody! (7Ks, 4H, OER). The pen finished the shoutout. Wong with the homer already mentioned, and RHern had 3 hits (2B). Fitzy went 2-4 w a 2B, too. Granberg 2-4. He never gets XBHs. POR was PPD GRE was smoked 13-2. Mata 2 IP, 4H, 3 ER, 1BB, 2K. McDonough 2-4 and Yorke & Binelas 1-4 w 2Bs. Salem won 5-4. Bonaci, Jordan and Kavadas all had 2 hits. Kavadas with a dinger. Mayer 1-3 w BB.
  25. moonslav59
    I hate days with no Sox games, but with this stretch coming up, I'm glad they have a breather.
