  1. Mrs. Price, only.
  2. SP: Syndergaard, Nate, deGrom ($30.5M option), Wacha, Stripling, Bassitt, Manaea, Musgrove, Hill, Taillon, Clevinger, Eflin, K Gibson, Greinke, Wainwright RP: too many to list C: Willson Contreras/ Omar Narvaez 1B: (I think we go with Casas, if he's not traded) Abreu 2B: Kike, A frazier, B Drury LF: Beni, Brantley, Pederson CF: Kike, Kiermayer, Nimmo RF: Judge DH, JD, Brantley
  3. Assuming Wacha and Hill are doing well, and Kike turns things around, we might get some very nice pieces for them, too.
  4. He played for my Bucks for a few years- a bit past his prime but still did very well for us.
  5. R.I.P. Bob Lanier He was a great one.
  6. Stacking the farm would also allow for trading some of the farm to fill some gaps that might be too expensive or risky to fill via gree agency- like finding a good young catcher. I'm not quite ready to start seriously looking at fire sale possibilities. It's too early for that, but I do think our extended future could be greatly enhanced with a mega fire sale and a busy winter.
  7. I think we might make strong runs at Devers and Nate. I think the others walk. I think JD will sign for significantly less than $40M/2- maybe $40M/3 or $30M/2. I would not be surprised to see Kike back, either. Wacha might become too expensive. Finding a good catcher won't come cheap. It will be interesting to see who offers Bogey the most, and if it will be over $200M/8. Do you offer Bogey $200M/8 and tell him he's playing 2B, or do you stick with Story at 2B?
  8. The starter ERA is 2.79 without Pivetta. OPS Against as a starter: .467 Wacha .622 Hill .627 Whitlock .663 Houck .702 Nate .795 Pivetta As a RP'er .304 Schreiber .384 Whitlock .411 Strahm .556 Valdez .588 Robles .647 Danish .651 Sawamura .714 Brasier .721 Davis .745 Houck .782 Barnes .857 Diekman .997 Crawford Take away those bottom 3, and the other 11 have prettyb decent to great OPS Against numbers. 11 should be enough to work with, when we have an 8 man pen. If our starters ever get all healthy at the same time, our pen could be okay or better.
  9. We all are hoping Story become a story for a better reason. Maybe this is the game we look back on as the turning point. One game at a time,
  10. He was pretty far down the totem pole before tonight.
  11. The pen has done better than the starters almost equally, this year- game by game. Maybe they are over their rough patch. Now, let's hope the bats are over theirs!!!
  12. I'm not trying to start something, but someone ripped me to shreds for saying close to this same thing a while back about Story after a 3-4 game streak and a ball hit hard that was almost a HR off the high left-center field wall. I won't name names.
  13. Two non number two crooked numbers in the same game! Someone pinch me!
  14. The results are in: this was Thornburg's best game for the Sox.
  15. Not the same old Story, finally!
  16. Judge with a 3-run walk-off for the Yanks. Maybe we gain a game on the Jays?
  17. Will this go down in history as Thornburg's best game for the Sox?
  18. Yes, keep Schreiber for the 8th and give Houck the 9th.
  19. Yes, but we won't use him as such.
  20. Seabold making a case for not calling him up, anytime soon. 3 IP 6 H 5 ER 3 BB 3 K Walter finally had a bad night: 1.1 IP 7 H 7 ER 1 BB 3 K Wikelman had control issues: 3.1 IP 1 H 0 ER 4 BB 5 K
  21. Nice try. How's that for a crooked number?
  22. I think he's a leader, too. I also think he will want to play SS, at least a few more years. I doubt the Sox would assure him that AND offer him close to what he wants. Now, let's see what other teams offer him, this winter, and maybe he'll face a reality he did not expect, and a Sox offer might be competitive, but I doubt it. He wants to stay at SS, and I can't blame him. Chicks dig SSs. 2Bmen are pansies.
  23. Saying they want to be continually competitive is not the same as "all in," and look where "all in got us." Yes, a nice 3 year run and the best season any Red Sox fan has ever seen, but the after affects are still upon us. It's easy to just explain it away by expecting Henry to just keep throwing more and more money to stay "all in," but I don't think he wants to emulate the Dodgers, and he doesn't have to to keep making money and keep the fans perceiving we have a chance every year (except 2020, of course.)
