  1. He's one of the few getting the job donw, even if with some smoke and mirros. Speaking of smoke, he ticks up the velo for that final K.
  2. I'm trying to decide if I'm more pessimistic about the Sox than 11 other AL teams.
  3. I was just wondering who take's Sandoval's slot, and then who takes that guy's slot... Also, if we cut Watson loose, that's another rolling group of promos.
  4. Nope- maybe watching Willson, Chapman & Early.
  5. He's at 21.1%, but that is 8th out of 13. Nobody on the team has more PAs and a lower K%, except Durbin. His BB% in the last 2 years: 2.6>4.8>5.6 (He's more than doubled his 2024 historically lowmark.) We should wait until he stops improving to keep projecting doom & gloom (not you.)
  6. I'm sure he'll slump, and you'll be right here letting us know. By the end of the year, he will near the league OPS (like last season), and you'll still think he's a failure.
  7. He will likely never improve enough to be on the plus side of plate discipline and K/BB and eliminate pro-longed slumps, but if he keeps improving, his offense might end up near or above average, while his defense keeps him as a clear asset to the team. Right now, he's one of just 3 Sox players with 50+ PAs over a 100 OPS+. He was at 115 before today.
  8. For a team playing this poorly, the next stretch of games could be the nail in the heart... or not. 3 v NYY 3 @ BAL 3 @ TOR 3 v HOU 3 @ DET 4 v TBR 3 v PHI 22 tough games after going 9-13 in the first 22.
  9. Ceddanne 2024>2025>2026 BA: .246>.249>.279 OBP: .274>.295>.362 OPS: .664>.708>.739 K%: 26%>20%>22% BB%: 3%>5%>6% BB/K: 0.10 (historically bad)> 0.24>0.27 (still bad but on the rise)
  10. I'd have been fine with just one from Durbin or IKF, if we got an actual star 2B/3B/SS instead of the other.
  11. Oviedo is on the 60 Day IL. The 40 Man Roster choices are: Tolle Samaniego (Start Anderson?) Bennett Add to 40? Guerrero (Anderson starts?) So much for all the plus rotation depth.
  12. This is not my choice of a line-up, but if you believe what someone has done, so far is about what they do going forward, maybe this would be the best hitting line-up: 1. L Yoshida (.477 OBP) DH 2. R Contreras (.404 OBP/.466 SLG) 1B 3. L Abreu (.352/.481) RF 4. R Wong (.385/.500) C 5. L Anthony (.366/.338) LF 6. R Rafaela (.366/.381) CF 7. L Mayer (.258/.291( SS) 8. R Story (.224/.315 w 17 rbi) 2B 9. R Monasterio (.300/.296) 3B Bench: Duran, Narvaez, Durbin, IKF
  13. Do Bloom's 13-8 Cards bring you any joy?
  14. It woulda really sucked had we lost today, but yes, it didn't seem fun watching them win today's morning game.
  15. The AL has really sucked, so far. As bad as the Sox have been, they are 1/2 GB the middle tier (middle 5) and 2 GB being a top tier team. (Top 5)
  16. It wouldn't really be fair to Narvaez, if others have been late, too and not benched. If several players are late and get away with it, then Cora needs the reprimanding.
  17. There are more Sox batters sucking ass than doing well, so he's not alone.
  18. Speaking of home runs and Hendu... Earlier in that game, Hendu ran back to almost catch a ball that would have maybe been a double, but the ball bounced up and over the fence for a dinger. He'd have been blamed for the loss had he not homered.
