Yup- troll. -
Try to keep up. It was a post about how we judge GMs based on timing of good or bad years by players on their roster, in general. The fact that I used an example of a Sox pitcher does not change the general nature of my post. I could have used several Yankee examples, where a player was great before joining the Yanks and great afterwards, but not while with the Yanks, and should that be held against Cashman? You're welcome.

It certainly looks that way, despite the pitching slump... LOL!

Yanks won't go down easy. Tonight, Hicks is the hero. (3 run homer in the bottom of the ninth to tie it 6-6.) Judge with the game-winning single,

Woo won, today. Taylor opened with a scoreless 1st (1H, 1BB, 1K, 0 ER). Crawford 5 IP, 4H, 1 ER, 2BB, 4K). Feltman & Ort closed it out. Sanchez was the only one with 2 hits, but Downs went 1-3 w a BB. POR lost one (Santos 6 IP, 4H, 4 ER, 2BB, 6K) and won one with Rafaela & Reed homering. GRE lost 11-8 but got 2 HRs from Davis and 2 hits from Yorke. SAL won 3-2 and got homers from Jordan and Kavadas. Jordan went 3-3 w a BB, too. ,

I could see them waiting until the Jays are eliminated to rescind the law.

You act like it's a bad trend. LOL.

Then, there is a case like Porcello. 6 pretty consistently decent to good years with the Tigers. Ben trades for him, extends him, and he goes 9-15 4.92. Ben gets tossed, and Porcello greets the new boss by winning a CY Young Award and going 22-4. Ben is a "coffee boy," while DD is a genius. Might Ben have stuck around longer, if Porcello and HRam had their 2016 seasons in 2015?
-
If he keeps homering every night we may start seeing some IBBs.
-
The Perez case, and others like him, before, like Wade Miley, brings up an interesting point. Does Perez's success, now, make Bloom look any less wrong about seeing something in him when he signed him (twice) and maybe all he got wrong was the timing, or does his post Red Sox success not change a thing?
-
I don't think a single poster advocated bringing him back over last winter.
-
How much info and scouting do they actually have on some of these guys?
-
..and the Canadian Government, by some.
-
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.

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. -
Koufax only missed one game? Are you counting being pushed back one day as a miss?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
