    Did I miss something? Is he doing well?
  2. moonslav59
    He's out of options, so it's DFA or IL or nobody claims him on waivers and he returns in the minors.

    I'm more impressed with Sawamura, this year than last. According to soxprospects.com, these are the options remaining: 0 Davis Strahm Diekman Robles 1 Brasier Valdez Danish 2 Taylor DHern 3 Sawamura Crawford

    He only got 2 PAs on his return. Not a gimmick, like Minnie, but not like Bard, either.
  5. moonslav59
    That's why I said I wasn't sure it should count.

    Big Nate is almost at his career high for Pitches per PA at 4.18. His career mark is 3.88. Sox Pitchers: 4.73 Diekman 4.47 Brasier 4.39 Houck 4.35 Davis 4.33 Valdez 4.32 Wacha 4.18 Eovaldi 4.05 Sawamura & Strahm 4.04 Crawford 3.88 League avg 3.86 Pivetta 3.75 Hill 3.64 barnes 3.56 Robles 3.40 Whitlock

    Minnie Minoso missed almost 2 seasons at ages 23-24, then was out of baseball for 11 years before returning at age 50, but he just got 8 PAs (1 hit). He then came back 4 years later, at age 54 for 2 PAs. Not sure this should really count, but it is interesting.

    Still some impressive K:BB ratios on the farm: 12:0 Walter 11 IP 16:1 Pannone 13.2 18:2 Bello 10 13:3 Murphy 9 14:4 DHern 8.2 Top OPS with 35+ ABs 1.369 Fitzy 4 taters 1.269 Lugo 1.255 Rafaela 5 taters 1.151 Refsnyder 1.074 Cordero 3 taters 1.066 Binelas 4 taters 1.000 Hamilton .997 Y Sanchez .984 Casas 3 taters

    Agreed. When I first saw his name in the box scores, I did a doubt take and checked if it was someone with the same name.
  10. moonslav59
    Impressive that he came back or impressive with his performance? 1.22 WHIP w BOS 2009-2013 1.47 WHIP w COL 2020-2022 I'm not sure I'd count his 6 IP in 2022 (.083 WHIP) as "impressive." It was 1.52 his previous 2 years w COL.

    Cashman Forever!

    His free swinging nature is what makes him great. It doesn't work for most players, but it helps having a different approach in every line-up. If the kid had a bad OBP, I'd be worried, but he's at a career .338 mark and has been at .349 since 2019 (ages 22-25.)
  13. moonslav59
    True! It was also nice to see Big Nate settle down after a shaky looking start.
  14. moonslav59
    I think the 15 pitchers for the month of April will lessen the "burnout" factor, especially since Cora is using them all. Only the use of Whitlock concerns me, as this is pretty much uncharted territory since Bob Stanley.
  15. moonslav59
    Like Bobby V is someone anyone should listen to. Blind squirrel on this one. Bard wanted to start, badly. It's as much on him as Sox management, things went south so quickly.
  16. moonslav59
    It had the feel of a heartbreaking loss filled with missed opportunities, but Big Nate settled down, and the pen was superb.
  17. moonslav59
    RHP Nick Pivetta (9.39) vs RHP Jose Berrios (11.81) Keep the mojo risin'!
  18. moonslav59
    I remember during the pre-Henry days, we'd lose a lot of games where we outhit the opponents by 4 or more hits. It's nice to see us pull one out while being outhit 8 to 3. (And, no taters tots were needed.)
  19. moonslav59
    Don't change a thing! I'm convinced teams with a variety of batting approaches win more often.
  20. moonslav59
    Well, we had Whitlock on the mound. It wasn't rocket science.
  21. moonslav59
    We've heard some criticism of Cora's pen moves over the first 11 games, but to me, the guy works wonders with these guys. Our pen has saved our asses, thus far.
  22. moonslav59
    Whitlock Da Man!
  23. moonslav59
    You may end up being right, but the guy has been pretty good more times than not over the last 4-5 years.
  24. moonslav59
    Me.
