  1. Other pitchers have options. Sometimes, that matters more than who is doing better.
  2. Does an extra day or two off, early in a season, really help keep players fresher, stronger and possibly healthier late in the season?
  3. Bogey sitting. Man, Cora sure likes to give players days off. (Is Bogey hurt?)
  4. If all 8 are healthy, we may not need to have one starter go 7. The rest of the pen should be well-rested and can handle pitching 4-6 innings.
  5. An assortment of pitches that are all good ones.
  6. You think, in Fenway, they might play Aroyo in LF and Verdugo in RF? Could we see Fitzy called up?
  7. My offensive expectations for JBJ are very low, this year, so I'm not really all that concerned. I do think, if he continues to not get on base, Cora will play him less and less.
  8. Certainly possible. I'm still not sure where Yorke will end up. Did you see Mayer went 3 for 6 and his BA dropped? Hickey hit a granny to bring Salem to 4-0 on the young season.
  9. soxprospects has Casas at 1B in 2023 and Dalbec at DH. It's hard to imagine an in the system player taking over 3B, if Devers bolts. Dalbec? Fitzy? Binelas? Hamilton? Jordan is too far away and may be better suited for 1B. If Mayer is up to start 2024, who plays SS- maybe Mayer at SS and Story at 2B?
  10. It is a little different when the small sample size is reflecting what a player has been doing or trending towards for a much longer time.
  11. Bello 5 IP 4 H 0 ER 1 BB 10 K This guy may end up in the bigs by year end. _________________ Padron-Artiles 6 IP 3 H 0 ER 0 BB 8 K Kavadas with his first homer.
  12. Hamilton is 2 for 3 with a couple rbis.
  13. Larry digs the long ball.
  14. Nice. He's building the case.
  15. A phantom or real IL stint by Davis might be more likely.
  16. Yup. Remember, Rusney started out at .928 after 10 games (2 HRs).
  17. True dat! I guess had he let up a run, stayed in the game and shut the Yanks down, he could have maybe won by pitching 5 innings (6-10th).
  18. They kept saying they were going to stretch him out, last year, but it never really materialized. His 4 IP, today is a career high in MLB, although his pitch count was not even close to his career high. In 2021, he pitched 3.1 IP, his most of the season, in his first outing (59 pitches were his most, too). He only pitched 3 IP once more (May 13th) and only pitched more than 2 IP five times, all season and only once (8/23) after May 13th. It's like he started out going longer in relief than he did after May 13th. Now, he did go more than 1 IP in 31 of his 46 appearances, so in that sense, he was not a short reliever. His last 4 outings, he never went beyond 1 IP.
  19. I meant to say he "could" have afforded both. (I went back and edited.)
  20. I'd have preferred Suzuki with the extra money used on an upgrade on pitching.
  21. Maybe had he not let up a run and finished the game unscored upon?
  22. Woo up 8-3 in the 9th. Casas 1-3 w 2nd HR and 2 BB Fitzy 1-3 w 4th HR Sanchez 3-3 w 2nd HR and a DBL Refsnyder 2-4 w DBL Pannone with a good start: 5 IP 0 ER 3H 0BB 7K
  23. I'm not sure Bloom would have gotten Story had he signed Suzuki. It's not really about Suzuki making so much, he could have afforded both, but that's a lot of money spent on non pitchers, when that seemed to be our biggest weakness.
  24. Agreed. I think each starter gets 2-4 more shots, and if anyone not named Eovaldi ior Pivetta are struggling, Whitlock might replace them.
