  1. I think it will grow on me, especially the first time the Sox remain in the hunt, longer, because of the new set-up. I do think that if the playoffs keep expanding, maybe after they go to the inevitable 32 team league. they should shorten the regular season and not have play-in games or 3 game playoff series.
  2. I don't either. I do think a team might give a single A prospect for him, but I seriously doubt it would be the Dodgers.
  3. No, I don't think LA would want Arroyo for the OF. I was just relaying what I felt the statement was addressing.
  4. I'd say 99% on one of those two happening. Since a Sawamura option keeps all the cards on the table, I'd vote for that choice, even though I like Sawamura more than Barnes and Robles. Outside chance we trade someone- maybe equal salary dumps- like a scrub RP'er for a scrub OF'er who bats RH'd. (Not sure when Kike is due back.)
  5. Hickey, too, and maybe Mayer & Bonaci soon, too.
  6. We don't know what will happen, next, but sometimes bad skids start with a game like this.
  7. You never know, but my guess is he's traded. We can assume we open 10 slots via free agency, although some may be back: Bogey, JD, Eovaldi, Kike, Vaz, Wacha, Hill, Strahm, Plawecki, Robles 3 Option: JBJ: ($8M buy out) $12M Paxton: $4M player option or $13M team option Sawamura: ($600K buy out) $3M team option 10 Others who may be off the 40 man by 2024 (trade or DFA): Barnes, Brasier, DHern, Valdez, Arroyo, Diekman, Groome, Downs, Danish, Norwood That's probably 14-18 possible open slots. Add certain 6 Rule 5s: Casas, German, WGonzalez, Murphy, Rafaela, B Walter Possible 14 Rule 5s, but more likely 2-3, at most: Fitzy, Feltman, Cottam, Granberg, Hamilton, Jimenez, Koss, Northcut, Ort, Paulino, VSantos, NSong, J Wallace, TWard Let's say 8 Rule 5 additions. That leaves 6-10 Free Agent signings. I guess that's the long way of saying, I can see Down making it on the 40 over some of the other guys listed here, and we don't know how many FAs we'll sign.
  8. June trades do happen, but not all that often. Sometimes deals are made where both teams are in buying mode, but share different needs.
  9. He meant send us some bullpen help for Arroyo- not Betts.
  10. Let Hickey join that group: Before tonight... OBP .456 Kavadas .438 Hickey .410 Granberg .398 Sanchez .392 Bonaci .383 Sikes .379 Duran .370 Sogard .366 Rafaela .362 Mayer .360 Paulino .359 Casas .354 Binelas
  11. Our good friend Kimbrel lost the game in the 9th for the Dodgers. CLE stays in the WC lead.
  12. CLE is down 3-2 to the Dodgers in the 8th, Not counting that game, here are the current standings: NYY & HOU look in. +2.5 TOR +0.5 TBR - CLE - BOS -3.0 CWS -4.5 LAA -4.5 TEX -6.5 BAL -7.5 SEA
  13. Rizzo makes the final out with men on 2nd and 3rd. TOR wins.
  14. Don't forget waiver wire addition, Schreiber.
  15. Runs per inning: 37 3rd (.55 runs per inning) 34 8th 33 5th 33 9th (9 less games than innings 1 to 8) 33 in 58 games= 0.57 runs/inning 30 6th 27 2nd 24 1st 20 7th 16 4th 16 in 8 extra inning games
  16. With Mazza, I was thinking more about 2020 (1.633 WHIP with us) vs 1.207 in 2021 w TBR. Now, Weber is getting a chance with the Yanks. Richards: 1.247 WHIP w SDP in '20 1.595 WHIP w Sox in '21 1.114 WHIP w TEX in '22
  17. We seem to have had more than our share of losses like today's game, so I'm chalking these wins up as evening things out, but you are right. We can't count on racking up wins like this vs good teams, although the Cards are as good or better than some we will be facing. One game at a time. One series at a time.
  18. I'll be in Maine, soon. My Dad will turn 95 in July. He still lives at home and keeps two houses going (with much help from Mom)- one on Sebago Lake. Happy Father's Day, Dad!
  19. It seems his timing has been off on some, especially Perez. (Springs, Mazza...)
  20. Looks like Winckowski gets another look-see. Big series before the long and tough stretch begins, but we can't look ahead: one game at a time, guys!
  21. Danish has been okay for most of the year, but come on! These walks before homers are killing me. And how many 9 hole hitters have hit big homers vs us, this season?
  22. Vaz & JBJ's numbers improved, today. LOB, today 4 JD 4 Story (his rbi was with bases empty) 2 Dalbec 1 Refsnyder 1 Vaz 1 JBJ 0 all the rest, including Bogey
