Would be nice to bust this open, now!
-
I'm not sure we can judge him on just 2021, although most of us thought he got more than enough opportunities, last year. The way Fitzy is playing, Cordero might not ever get another chance like '21 with the Sox.
-
We need another capable starting pitcher. That takes an enormous strain off the pen, and maybe even moves Houck to the pen. That's not to say the pen is fine, as is, but let's not think only the pen need addressing.
-
What does Cordero need to do to be called up for another chance? (I'm not saying I think the time is now. I'm just wondering.)
-
Okay! I did not know that part. This is much better. 3 years beyond arb control is nice. I'm still not sure I'd call it long term.
-
Except this is not really a "long term investment." Didn't Whitlock still have 5 years of team control remaining? 2 pre-arb and 3 arbs? This is really a one year extension and takes away arb year estimating and haggling. Don't get me wrong. I like this deal, but we didn't really add much.
-
I agree 100%. Had we signed more RP'er or a decent starter, so Houck could be in the pen, we might have 2 wins, right now. Also, 7.1 innings in 2 games has seen some good pen pitching, so far, and Barnes & Taylor were not even available.
-
For the first start of a season with a very short ST'ing, I would think some context is needed with your "very low" statement.
-
..and outspent on the pen.
-
Pen Numbers, so far: 7.1 IP 4 H 1 ER (+2 ghost runs) 1.23 ERA 3 BB 9 K 0.955 WHIP .160 BA Against .267 OBP Against .320 SLG Against .587 OPS Against It's just 2 games, but the pen has not been even close to the main reason for either loss. Our bats have come alive, early, then poof. Our starters have given up the long ball, too often. Let's hope Houck can right the ship.
-
Another tough loss. I'm glad we have 160 games left.
-
This.
-
I agree, but the pen is not very trustworthy, either.
-
I'm getting the feeling our farm is going to jump in the rankings, this year. We are much deeper, now and have some real talent at the to, too.
-
You crack me up. By the way, we all know Bobby Dee has some sizable split differentials, but are these numbers all that bad for any players first 331 PAs vs righties in his MLB career? .296 OBP .463 SLG .759 OPS 19 HRs 48 RBI Project that to 662 PAs: .218 38 96 Dave Kingman stuff, here! vs LHPs per 660 PAs .279 42 138 (.898 OPS) Yes, the 138 RBIs is correct- the man gets hits with men on base. Too bad that is not a repeatable skill. (Cue hysteria)
-
Ok, but you said he was getting mauled and he'd only let up 1 run by then. "About to get mauled" might have been better wording.
-
I never said the pen did well. I just said blaming them more than Eovaldi was not right, and Nate did not have to start 2 of his 5 innings with a man on 2nd.
-
But you were critical we went with him for more than one inning, yesterday.
-
Still, 5 IP+ and 1 ER beats the hell out of 5 IP and 3 ERs.
-
Our pen was supposed to suck, last year, too, and we used 33 pitchers. This year, we have more "long guys," so I'm sticking with the under. This 28 man roster may create more chances in April, though.
-
Yes, and how many runs would Eovaldi have given up had he started every inning with a man on 2nd?

4/8 at Yanks - Opening Day

Santana was not paid much. Marwin just 3 yrs/1. Those deals don't baffle me as much as 2 x $4M. On Marwin, what baffled me was how long Cora stuck with him. There was a time in May or June where he was still something like 7th or 8th in PAs on the team! -
I'll take the under on 35- not counting everyday players doing mop-up duty here and there.
-
Not really. Nate gave up 2 HRs and did worse than the pen. Not by much, but he did.
-
No doubt, but if blame has to be given- not that it has to be given- to one aspect of our pitching in game 1: starter vs pen, it was more Eovaldi's fault we lost.
