    I'd love to have Schwarber back, even if JD stays, but our budget is not limitless. I think we have higher priorities, such as a solid SP'er and a solid pen arm or two. Maybe bring back Iggy as our utility IF'er. Maybe T Shaw on a cheap deal, too. I'm not all that happy with Renfroe's D in RF, but his arm cancels out the errors, leaving his lack of range to create a slight minus on D. Keep Kike n CF to make up for the minus in RF. Arroyo & Iggy at 2B. No other additions are really needed on offense.

    I think 1 out of 3, we win and 0 out of 3 might makes it 50-50.

    JD may opt out, if he values a longer term deal over this one year left. I doubt he'll do it, but he may think a 3-4 year offer at less per year is better than just this one year deal. I seriously doubt we trade Dalbec, but not because we don't like how Schwarber plays 1B, but because he is low cost and still has upside. I don't think we re-sign Schwarber, unless we plan on trading Verdugo or Renfroe or platooning them, when Schwarber does not DH or play 1B. I doubt we plan on Kike at 2B and Verdugo in CF for all of 2022.

    So, thanks Bloom?

    People often talk about the loss column and what if team A or B wins out. Here's an interesting scenario playing off that concept. Say the Yanks and Rays win every game the rest of the way. That would mean 6 losses for the Rays, and we are just 7 down in the loss column. (Of course, if the Yanks win out, it would mean they beat us 3 times, too.)

    The whole covid thing allowed us to call up numerous players- some not even on our 40 man roster. While some who sat out due to Covid might not have really gotten much "rest," it seems like several did- like Bogey. We have this Monday and Thursday off, then next Monday, so IMO, we don't need to rest anyone, except pitchers recently used, but even the staff should be allowed better usage due to the 3 days off.

    I think we only sign Schwarber, if JD opts out (not likely) or we trade Dalbec, Verdugo, Renfroe or Duran (not likely).

    It's gotta be one of the biggest surprises in all of MLB- not just that he's closing, but that he's doing a fine job at it! I'm really thinking we take the $10M option rather than pay the $1.5M buy-out. Maybe, we restructure the deal.
  12. moonslav59
    Since we lost the series to the Rays in mid August, we have done this: 2 sweep win (BAL x 2) 5 non sweep win (TEX, MIN, CLE x 2, SEA) 1 split (TBR) 2 non sweep loss (TBR, CWS) 1 sweep loss (NYY) 7 wins 2 splits 3 losses
  13. moonslav59
    Big sweep! Rays lost. Jays won. Yanks down 10-1 in 9th. (Judge K'd with men on 2nd & 3rd in the 8th)

    I've never been one to admire the Quality Start stat, but I made some adjustments to my own system, and here are the results for 2021, including today. (I went through every game box score to gather these results.) A Quality Start: 8+ IP 0-3 ERs/ 6+ IP 0-2 ERs/ 5+ IP 0-1 ER/ 4+ IP 0 ER B Quality Start: 8+ IP 4 ER/ 6+IP 3 ER/ 5+ IP 2 ER/ 4+ IP 1 ER/ 3+ IP 0 ER C Quality Start: 6.2-7.2IP 4 ER/ 5.1-5.2 IP 3 ER/ 4+ IP 2 ER/ 3+ IP 1 ER D (just missed QS): 8+ IP 5 ER/ 6+IP 4 ER/4.1-5.0IP 3ER/ 3.1-3.2 IP 2ER The 2021 Red Sox Starters: Eovaldi 30 GS (20 QS/ 20 A+ 15 QSA 5 QSB 0 QSC 2 Close 22/30 QS+ close 73.3% ERod 28 GS (15 QS/14 A+ 9 QSA 5 QSB 1 QSC 1 close 16/28 QS+ close 57.1% Pivetta 28 GS (12 QS/ 10 QS A+ 10 QSA 0 QSB 2 QSC 6 close 18/28 QS+close 64.3% Perez 22 GS (13 QS/ 13 QS A+ 6 QSA 7 QSB 0 QSC 2 close 15/22 QS+ close 68.2% Richards 22 GS (10 QS/ 8 QS A+ 6 QSA 2 QSB 2 QSC 3 close 13/22 QS + close 59.1%

    This should all be on the 2021 thread, except that we will have the gift of playing the O's a bunch, next year, too. One can argue part of that gift also means playing TR, TOR and NYY 19 times, too, so I'm not sure about this being a gift.
  16. moonslav59
    If pitchers are only as good as their last start, can anyone trust Cole?
  17. moonslav59
    I know this is the O's, but we are fighting back like the early days of 2021. I'm liking the return of grit.
  18. moonslav59
    Yes, both.
  19. moonslav59
    If it meant being 1-2 down, right now?
  20. moonslav59
    Which shows we deserve our position in the standings, perhaps more than the Yanks and Jays.
  21. moonslav59
    In what order do you posters place these bubble players? This is my order, with who we should keep the most listed first: Bazardo Rios Cordero Rosario Arauz Davis Potts Brasier Plawecki I can see just keeping one from Rosario and Cordero, but our OF depth is pretty bad. Some of these guys may be traded. Some may be signed to minor league deals. If any of these guys end up elsewhere, it's not like similar players aren't out there to be signed by us. If we feel Wong and R Hern can handle the back-up catcher role, next year, that frees up the Plawecki slot on the 40.
  22. moonslav59
    The Yanks can catch us, if they win all their games. They can even lose 1 and catch us, because they play us 3 times. The Yanks AND Sox cannot both win all their remaining games. One has to lose at least 1 to 3 games.
  23. moonslav59
    True, but I'd rather be up 2 in the win column than tied. The Jays can lose, and they are starting to show some cracks after that great run they just had. Trends don't continue forever. There is a reason the Jays and Yanks are bunched up with us. They have weaknesses, too.
  24. moonslav59
    Jeter has been playing SS, so just keeping him there solves a big part of the problem.
