I get that, but I thought it was pretty obvious not everyone was in agreement. Hell, we can't even get 100% agreement that this was a good season for the Sox.
-
Probably true, but maybe game 7 not so true.

This year, Barnes had 30 saves and 6 BSs. 24/30. He had no "holds." (33% IRS) 2020: 9 Saves and 4 BS (4 holds) 13 SV+Hold/17. 0% IRS. 2019: 4 Saves and 8 BS (26 holds) 30 Sv + Holds/38. 25% IRS. 2018: 0 Sv and 3 BS. (25 Holds) 25 Sv + Holds/28. 7% IRS 2017: 1 Sv and 2 BS (21 Holds) 22 SV+Holds/24. 17% IRS Last 5 years: 44 saves 23 BS 76 Holds 120 Sv + Holds out of 143. That's 84% of the time holding or saving the games he played in since 2017 and entered with a lead or tie.

Even if they come up with something, pitchers will still find something to add that makes their grip more to their liking.

Living down here near Houston is awful, now. You would not believe all the crying these guys do over how badly they have been treated by the fans and media over the cheating scandal, and how they need to prove they can win on talent, alone. These guys actually feel like they are being wronged. It's sick.
-
Good to know.
-
Can't you guys take a joke?
-
Barnes does not blow the lead in half his games.
-
That would make a statement.
-
The no knock season.
-
He used Pivetta in relief then again pretty soon afterwards. He used Eovaldi in relief on his "throwing day," and the dumb talks shows down here in Houston were shocked, but then Cora did yank Nate kinda early his next start. It is an interesting topic.

The Beni trade is far from over. It was two years of Beni control, and with the money saved, we got Renfroe and Sawamura. Win-win, and that's before what we see on any of the 4 prospects.
-
No, they've all been persuaded. It's now unanimous. Bring it on!
-
...and Bauer & Dustin May.
-
The problem is when one of your 4 inning guys get shelled and can only go 1-2 innings. Can another guy go on 3 days rest? Do you need 10 guys that can go 3-4? That doesn't leave any room for 1 inning guys.
-
If starters all start going just 3-4 innings, we will need more long men who can go 3-4 innings, so yes, basically 8 "starter/longmen."
-
So, we all now agree on robo umps!
-
HOU also lost Verlander and TBR Chirinos.
-
If starters only go 18 batters, maybe they can go back to 4 man rotations. Teams can have 8 -4 inning men and 5 short relief guys.

Agreed, and Bloom has not done all that well finding RP'er gems in the rough, so far. He's gone through a lot since 2020 --49 total, including a few everyday players doing mop up duty. 40 with more than 2 IP in relief 2020-2021: Barnes Whitlock Valdez Ottavino Taylor Sawamura DHern Andriese Brasier Brice Weber Workman Richards Robles Rios Springs Under 20 IP Davis Covey Perez Osich Stock Walden Brewer Houck Under 10 Henbree Kickham Mazza Hall Feliz Gonsalves Tapia Godley Triggs Leyer Schreiber Bazardo Brennan Peacock Espinal Hart

I'm going to run down some 2021 AL Team stats. These numbers do not tell the whole story, but they are informative and may point to where we need the most improvement for 2022.

It's hard to acquire guys like that via trade an impossible via free agency.

10/22 ALCS Game 6 @ Astros
moonslav59 replied to Thunder's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Facing Gibson 3 times made it pretty impossible, but we did win 3 of the other 4 games and had outscored them going into game 7. -

They won the American League Championship! Good point, though.
