    It's hard to know. Maybe with some pitchers, it would work well, but others, used to the routines of every 5th day pitching, maybe not. Starters do have a "throwing day" between starts, so maybe the adjustment might not be so unsettling. Would throwing 3-4 innings every 3rd day vs 5-6 IP every 5th day be the trend of the future? Over a 15 day/game period the 3rd day guy might pitch 17-18 innings (5 x 3.2 IP), while the every 5 day guy might pitch 17-18 IP (3 x 5.2), too.

    Did all of his additions with the Rays do well? (I'm guessing more did, but do we have a breakdown?) Also, Richards did well in the pen, although he was not acquired for that role. What list do you place Ottavino on?
  3. moonslav59
    Agreed, and with his next appearance, he may move to 3rd in total IP'd by Sox pitchers. (He's currently 5th- just 2/3 behind Wacha and 2 IP behind Houck.)

    I'd say this crop matches 2013 and 2006 looks like the point where we look to as being the last time we had better. Just my opinion.
  5. moonslav59
    To me, the only "plan" is Sale and Paxton joining the staff and pushing others down by attrition. I'm not sure how well the starters pushed into the pen will do, unless it's Whitlock and or Houck.

    Maybe Bloom had better scouts and a better organization with the Rays. Maybe it was just good luck with the Rays or bad luck with us. Also, our pen has done pretty well with under the radar arms under Bloom with the Sox- certainly better than expected.

    Binelas & Hamilton may crack the top 20, by mid season.
  8. moonslav59
    Yes, I expected Bloom to build a good pen, but the pen I saw on paper, this spring was not what I had hoped for. That was one reason I preferred having Houck at closer and Whitlock as the magic man.

    When is the last time we've had 4 pitching prospects with good outlooks and another 4 that might turn out okay, if they can get over injuries and military service time?
  10. moonslav59
    When we went up 2-0 after being no-hit for 9 innings, I thought that might be the "spring board" game. Nope!
  11. moonslav59
    I lived in Milwaukee during the Bart Starr and Lew Alcindor/Kareem Abdul Jabbar eras. Yup.
  12. moonslav59
    Marcus Smart may be the key. Beating the Bucks (my team) got easier as Middleton is out with a knee injury. Brooklyn's Durant is starting to create whispers.
  13. moonslav59
    Did anyone really expect the pen to keep being that good?
  14. moonslav59
    It did seem shocking, to me, we took Eovaldi out, but maybe there was a reason we don't know about.
  15. moonslav59
    We need some fresh mojo on the game threads.
  16. moonslav59
    April has been Devers' worst or second worst month in his career. I'm not too worried about him, but this slump does seem to be contagious. Maybe just having everyone healthy and in the line-up might be a good first step,
  17. moonslav59
    True. This "tough times" was helped along by key errors and ghost runners.
  18. moonslav59
    Great point, but the risk is, what if we go 8 games in a row where we are ahead or behind by 5 runs?
  19. moonslav59
    We seem to be much later releasing our line-ups than many other teams. Anyone know why? Is Bill Belichik part of Sox management?
  20. moonslav59
    The savior!
  21. moonslav59
    TOR 1. Springer CF 2. Bichette SS 3. Vlad 1B 4. Gurriel DH 5. Chapman 3B 6. Kirk C 7. Tapia LF 8. Espinal 2B 9. Zimmer RF (I guess the bottom of our order is not the only weak hitting bottom in MLB.)
  22. moonslav59
    I'm undefeated in fresh game threads. Let's hope we can keep that going and also win more than just the first game thread.
  23. moonslav59
    Big Nate vs Jose Berrios Get it done, Nate!
  24. moonslav59
    You said more than that.
  25. moonslav59
    Funnier.
