  1. It would be nice. He's 30 years old and has 2 IP in the bigs. His 4.9 BB/9 rate has always been the thorn, and this year has seen very little improvement (4.2). The 12.5 K/9 rate is nice, though. Best OPSA in Woo .539 Seabold .546 German (.493 AA) .548 Ort .562 Wink .570 Kelly .594 Feliz .611 Valdez (.573 MLB) .619 Bello (.460 AA)
  2. Who has the most "Late & Close" chances, this year? Story is 6th. PAs and OPS might surprise some... 56 Bogey .797 52 Devers .883 47 Verdugo .422 45 JBJ .484 44 JD .652 44 Story .415 41 Vaz .831 41 Dalbec .571 (17 Refsnyder 1.009) The two guys (Story & Verdugo) who seem to have been the "most clutch" by the "eye test" have actually been the worst in the circumstances provided by the "late & close" stat. Late & Close are Plate Appearances in the 7th or later with the batting team tied, ahead by one, or the tying run at least on deck. How about "High Leverage?" 75 Verdugo .671 61 Bogey .600 60 Story .698 56 Devers .931 54 JD M .536 46 Vaz .813 44 Dalbec .561 42 JBJ .703 35 Cordero .719 34 Arroyo .717 32 Kik .745 (18 Refsnyder .361) These numbers seem to support the eye test a little more, but some are also surprising. Devers, Vaz & Kike are the best 3. JD, Dalbec & Bogey are the worst 3. Story & Dugo are about in the middle upper half.
  3. As I've pointed out, before, to those who said this... If you take away everyone's "hottest week," Story is still right up there among the Sox RBI leaders. Also, he had RBIs in 6 of those 7 games, and guess which 6 we won. Are those 6 wins worth less than others, just because they are bunched up?
  4. .. This is what happens when pitching slumps.
  5. JBJ, Diekman & Barnes for Gallo & Chapman LOL
  6. Yup, and we don't even have a union, here.
  7. We have a teacher at my school who is late everyday, misses mandatory meetings and is late or fails to do required paperwork on a regular basis. I always say he gives me a great sense of job security.
  8. He gives the other umps a great feeling of job security.
  9. Every picture tells a story. Don't it?
  10. Must be the pressure. Can defenses slump?
  11. It's called a pitching slump.
  12. Second thoughts on Boone doing better, this year?
  13. I predicted last night's win before gametime w Crawford starting.
  14. I'm going out on a limb, tonight. I predict a Sox win.
  15. He's on the short side of the platoon, but the weird thing is, he has 41 PAs v RHPs and 33 v LHPs. He's started 8 games v LHPs and 6 v RHPs. Pertinent splits: v R .977 Duran .724 Ref .712 Dugo .586 JBJ .544 Kike v L 1.252 Ref .828 Kike .712 Dugo .489 JBJ .341 Duran
  16. Most PAs with men on base and PA per RBI w men on base (before game on 7/10): 185 Bogey 5.8 (most PAs- 2nd worst PA per RBI) 170 Dugo 3.8 (3rd best) 165 Story 3.4 (best) 165 JD M 5.7 (3rd worst) 154 Devers 3.6 (2nd best) 117 Vaz 3.8 (3rd best) 116 JBJ 4.6 110 Dalbec 7.3 (worst) 94 Kike 4.7 87 Cordero 4.1 Low PAs 51 Arroyo 4.6 40 Plawecki 8.0 37 Duran 7.4 28 Refsnyder 2.8 (best with any sample size)
  17. I thought the comp was Sox v Yanks.
  18. I seriously doubt we get 2. We have too many returning pitchers and 5-6 current RP'ers that aren't going anywhere, soon.
  19. Adding Whitlock to the pen should be a huge boost.
  20. I'd rather get one really good one than 2 decent ones.
  21. I don't think SP'er is going to be even a long shot priority. Some of our prospects have looked pretty good and we have Nate, Sale, Wacha and Hill returning with Paxton in the wings. I'm always for improving the rotation near the top, but I don't think Bloom sees it that way, and even I see higher need areas elsewhere.
  22. Some playoff teams get byes, so there is that.
