    Somehow, I have to think even a no-hitter would not move you an inch on this issue.

    I can see someone hasn't lived with children in a long, long time.
  3. moonslav59
    After so much time off, you wonder what role he might be used in- first time back.
  4. moonslav59
    And, we face a left in the first game at WSH. I think they play Dalbec, tomorrow and JD plays LF. I think we face a righty on Saturday, so maybe Dugo plays CF, Schwarber LF and Kike 2B. (No JD seems wrong. Would we dare have Schwarber and JD both at corner OF positions in the same game?)
  5. moonslav59
    Kike is back for 2022, so no CF'er is needed, just yet/ I think we go with Arroyo at 2B and maybe try to lure Iggy back as a utility man. I do think we might acquire a #2 and #5, but I hate going after 5's. I'd try for a 3 or 4 and move Pivetta to 5. Ideally, we get a 1 & 3, but maybe a 2 & 3 is all we can afford. BTW, Toronto has some choice to make. Semien was just a one year deal. Robbie Ray is a FA, too.

    Career: Pivetta with Plawecki: 2.59 ERA (49 IP) 200 PAs Against (.630 OPS) Pivetta with Vazquez: 5.12 ERA (111IP) 480 PAs Against (.767 OPS)

    Blasphemy!

    Dalbec does seem like he's back to his old ways, but that was a pretty quick benching. I'm not complaining or scratching my head, mind you- just pointing out the flip side of a tough choice by Cora.

    No Dalbec vs the lefty. I won't scratch my head on this one. People thought I had dandruff, yesterday. I like what Cora has done all year. Plawecki for 2 straight starts. I'm not going to claim this is CERA related, but here are the 2020-2021 numbers: Pivetta with Plawecki: 2.59 ERA (49 IP) 200 PAs Against (.630 OPS) Pivetta with Vazquez: 5.12 ERA (111IP) 480 PAs Against (.767 OPS) Cora da Man!
  11. moonslav59
    It sure did! Especially, the OF. Man, they were fun to watch. I like watching Kike in CF and Renfroe nailing base-runners, but the rest of the OF D is nothing special. (Verdugo is fine.)
  12. moonslav59
    As much as each of those Yankee games were huge, and they were basically 2 game swings, I feel like this game is just as big. 4 games left. SEA a half back. The Jays one back. The Yanks one up. It doesn't get much tighter than this! GO SOX!!!!
  13. moonslav59
    Yes, it is reasonable, except for maybe JBJ's .502 OPS. I never even implied it wasn't reasonable. I just pointed out that many posters pine for ex-Sox players when equal or better options aare out there- sometimes for cheaper. I didn't think that statement was going to be dissected, inspected and debated so much.
  14. moonslav59
    It's reasonable to want the others, too. I think you are reading too much into my statement.
  15. moonslav59
    Yes, and these numbers that include part of August show a general drop off, but not by a whole lot, and yes, still impressive numbers. One encouraging thing that jacko never responded to is is rants on Sale being toast was the 30 Ks and 1 BB in Sale's last 17 innings of 2018- after the injury and with severely reduced velocity. It's my position that Sale can and will be an excellent pitcher, even if his velo does not return, but with most TJS pitchers, it does return. I'm hopeful next year is a great one for Sale.
  16. moonslav59
    and others.
  17. moonslav59
    I don't remember specifics, but several times, people pined for Beni, JBJ and Betts back in the OF. This isn't worth going on and on about. I don't get it.
  18. moonslav59
    The Braves used to be in the West, too. That's even father away.
  19. moonslav59
    How many times a year, do the M's get to their hotel with only time to get less than 8 hours of sleep? Way less than parents with screaming children or crying babies. BTW, our daughter just moved out, last month. She oten woke us at 3 or 4 in the morning, as our dogs barked every time she came in late.
  20. moonslav59
    Maybe a little... 2017: 2.90 ERA 3.39 last 9 starts (3.00 last 6 starts) 2016: 3.39 ERA 3.41 last 9 starts 2015: 2.17 ERA 2.33 last 9 starts 2014: 3.07 ERA 3.36 last 9 starts (3.00 last 6 starts) 2013: 3.41 ERA 3.24 last 9 starts In 2018, he missed some time in August. 2.11 ERA all season 2.65 in AUG & SEP (5 starts) 30Ks and 1 BB in 17 IP!
  21. moonslav59
    Then move the team to Indianapolis. Does missing a couple hours of sleep a few times a year really matter much?
  22. moonslav59
    I know, and I said I understand why, but even after he signed with Milwaukee there was pining. I'm not sure why you are making such a big deal out of the semantics. The point I made is obvious to all. We hear a lot of posters wanting ex-Sox players back. It's natural and understanding. It wasn't meant to be some earth-shattering discovery.
  23. moonslav59
    I couldn't do it, now, but I did switch at age 12. I only had a couple of years being a Brewer fan, but I think I was more a Harper fan, since the rest of the team sucked. The Bucks and Packers were great while I was in Milwaukee.
  24. moonslav59
    I used to live in Milwaukee, and I was there when the Seattle Pilots moved to Milwaukee. I lived very close to the stadium and became a big Brewer fan. When my family move to Maine, and my favorite player, Tommy Harper, was traded to the Sox, I switched to Boston (at age 12.) The Brewers nearly won a ring before my Sox, but I don't really feel any left over loyalty to them. I do still root for the Bucks and Packers.

    Someone mentioned on the game thread, last night, that it seemed like Eovaldi has half our Quality Starts. He does have 13 (41% or all his starts and 33% of all Sox QS's), but other have significant amounts: 9 ERod (30%) 8 Pivetta (28%) (Perez and Richards have 4 or 18% each.) What I find interesting is how many near QS's pitchers had, this year. I'll simplify my earlier criteria to include these numbers as "near QS:) 8 IP 0-4 ER 5 IP 0-2 ER 4 IP 0-1 ER Here are those numbers: 21 Eovaldi (Team is 19-13 in his 32 starts) 15 ERod (Team is 18-12 in his 30 starts) 12 Pivetta (Team is 16-13 in his 29 starts) 12 M Perez (Team is 12-10 in his 22 starts) Had one start of 3.2 IP 0 ER 8 Richards (Team is 11-11 in his 22 starts) 6 Sale (Team is 6-2 in his 8 starts) Had one 3.2 IP 1 ER and one 5.1 IP 3 ER start. 75% Sale 66% Eovaldi 55% Perez 50% ERod 41% Pivetta 36% Richards I guess the surprises would be Perez being so high, and Pivetta being so low.
