    Indeed. I’d rather have Schwarber than JD, but JD is no slouch. The big improvement by Dalbec as well as Verdugo looking more solid and Renfroe putting together a few solid months, does make keeping JD and Schwarber a bit redundant while taking funds away from improving the staff.

    I trust B-R.
  3. moonslav59
    I checked the 2018 baseball reference page.
  4. moonslav59
    We did it in April of 2018.

    BTW, the 3 guys Dalbec could have started instead of- Renfroe, JD or Schwarber are 4 for 4 with 2 HRs, a 2B and 5 RBI. Yes, Cora sucks! Lol
  6. moonslav59
    Schwarber was 3 for 8 with 3 HRs vs this starter. He deserved to start over Renfroe not Dalbec, IMO. Renfroe and Schwarber have both played well since the deadline, but I do not believe recent performance projects future performance. If we went by that theory, Dalbec would never have gotten a chance to get hot.

    Here is Sale’s velo charts. You can change the years, if you wish... https://www.fangraphs.com/players/chris-sale/10603/graphs?pitchgraphs=true&statArr=&legend=1&split=base&time=daily&start=2018&end=2021&rtype=mult&gt1=15&dStatArray=FA&ymin=&ymax=

    Again, I wanted Dalbec starting. Schwarber, too. You lost me at “Cora sucks.”
  9. moonslav59
    Yes, and he actually threw with higher velocity in 2018 than any other year. He hit high 90’s a lot that year but still averaged around 96-97.
  10. moonslav59
    It was more like 95-96. I think he’ll get back to that on a consistent basis by next year.
  11. moonslav59
    I think you missed the part where I said I’d play Dalbec- just not instead of JD. I’d have sat Renfroe vs this righty. JD is one of the best hitters in MLB. He can hit sliders. He’ll work through this mini slump. No way I bench JD. Dalbec should play everyday.
  12. moonslav59
    Wrong. I said I’d keep him for 2022, if he made $2M. The CERA is just one factor out of many, including his decline in offense, that makes him not worth $7M.
  13. moonslav59
    That’s a funny one!
  14. moonslav59
    I’m not sitting JD. I’d make it Dalbec v Renfroe v RHPs. We can now see why Schwarber is playing.
  15. moonslav59
    Sucks? Really? I'd have started Dalbec over Renfroe and had Verdugo in RF and Schwarber in LF, but it's not a no-brainer choice. BTW, Schwarber is 3 for 8 vs Walker with 3 HRs! (Renfroe 0-5 and Dalbec 0-2)

    Nobody is arguing CERA is more than 50% of the reason to start one catcher over another. I'm the main guy arguing its value, and I have never said Plawecki should start or even play more than he is, now. You guys keep acting like I am arguing for Vaz to be benched over CERA.
  19. moonslav59
    I've posted the data several times. It's up to you to determine where the sample size minimum needs to be to make the comp have merit. Over the years, I have posted, pitcher by pitcher, year by year and also career numbers pitcher by pitcher. The evidence is not only clear, it is overwhelmingly clear. The disparities are consistent and significant in most cases. We can argue about randomness and other variables being in play, but the facts are clear: most pitchers with large sample sizes with 2 or more Sox catcher do way better with the catcher not names Vaz.

    It's how people get signed. It's based on what you did and what you are expected to do. True, you don't technically "earn" it until you start playing under the new deal and show whether you earned it or not. Also, since many of these high-price players were technically underpaid before they get the new deal, one can argue they earned some of it.
  21. moonslav59
    I didn't count 2021, because he signed the deal before that. I didn't count 2020 because it was 2020. I can see thinking those numbers should count, though- proportionally.
  22. moonslav59
    It's the just one year part that makes it a possibility. I doubt any Sox fan would be fore a $19M x 5 year deal.
  23. moonslav59
    The differences are consistent. year to year. pitcher by pitcher. 75-80% of pitchers do better with the other catcher. You can choose to not believe it, but I have provided all the data. It takes two to argue, so as soon as you stop saying it makes zero difference, the debate ends.
  24. moonslav59
    I know I do, but it's funny how he calls people who respond "nutjobs," when he leads the league doing that, okay maybe he's second to me, is a bit ironic.
  25. moonslav59
    Plus, the people that bashed him last night, ignored the first 3 innings of fine work.
