    He needs fielders behind him, not monuments and statues.
  2. moonslav59
    If we move Bogey to 3B, we force the opt out.
  3. moonslav59
    He's a statue on D. His range is one or two steps, either way.

    I played a lot of baseball and softball in my day, and I was always drawn in by defense, especially SS defense- you know, the position where most balls are it? DUH!
  5. moonslav59
    I'm laughing, but it's 100% true.
  6. moonslav59
    Bogey, Devers and the Ump need a good inning.

    Is Marwin on pace for the worst OPS by a Sox player in the last 5 decades? Worse, I think he's on pace for 450 PAs+.
  8. moonslav59
    Cam I talk you into bottom 3-4 in MLB?
  9. moonslav59
    Sister Christian strikes again!
  10. moonslav59
    I've never seen it this bad.
  11. moonslav59
    4 outs is not the "pitching."
  12. moonslav59
    Our defense sickens me.
  13. moonslav59
    trying to get 4-5 outs an inning is very taxing on any pitcher.

    I think Perez deserves some slack. The guy had a 3.09 ERA through 11 starts- tops on the team. He has 2 very horrific starts (11 ER in 3.1 IP) Then, he went 5 IP allowing 1 ER. All this, with horrible defense behind him.
  15. moonslav59
    Our left side defense will be the death of this team.
  16. moonslav59
    Is it part of all of our game plans to immediately walk the first hitter after we put up a crooked number?

    He's actually not known as a singles hitter- maybe not as any sort of hitter. He averages this per 650 PAs: 23 HRs 36 2B+3B 59 XBHs 80 Singles WhileI would not label him a power hitter, either, I see him as more of a doubles/XBH'er with a decent SLG% more than a singles hitter who gets on base a lot. Career .239 BA .312 OBP .425 SLG

    While top closer money sky-rocketed after we acquired Kimbrel, it was not that high before and the season we traded for him. Top RP'er signings for 2016: Darren Day $7.75 x 4 Marco Estrada $13 x 2 Joakim Soria $7.3 x 3 2015: F Liriano $13M x 3 David Robertson $11.5M x 4 Andrew Miller $9M x 4 L Gregerson $6.2M x 3 Sure, Kimbrel was better than these guys, but he was making top or near top closer pay at the time. It was the next season Chapman made $17.2M x 5, and Jansen made $16M x 5.

    We should score 8 this inning; our lead off hitter JUST GOT ON BASE!
  20. moonslav59
    He's had way more than his fair share of huge hits, so I'm giving him a pass.
  21. moonslav59
    Did you see the "if" in front of the sentence? It's not nonsense to think we could be 6-8 GB by the end of July. I seriously doubt it happens, but not nonsensical.
  22. moonslav59
    Yes, players move from CF to LF all the time, but Duran is just learning the OF, and if he is to be called up very soon, they'd be playing him where they expect him to play already. Why LF? He'll be replacing Kike not Verdugo. If we dump Santana to call him up, Kike would play 1B orplatoon with Dalbec there and Marwin at 2B, until Arroyo returns. Of, we just platoon Marwin with Dalbec and play Kike at 2B. (I don't see Marwin as a better hitter than Dalbec, even vs RHPs.)
  23. moonslav59
    No, it wasn't a big deal, but just the thought of it was too much for some.
  24. moonslav59
    So, 6 games back is out of it? Had we traded for players instead of trading players away, in theory, we could have been "in it." I do remember people saying, the Sox are not the type of team to do that. Look, I'm not sure what to do. I'm just throwing things out there. At this point, my feelings are mixed.
  25. moonslav59
    The big deadline foundational questions are: What is the meaning of "still in it?" (Contender or not) For a ring or a play-in WC shot? Is 4, 6 or 8 games behind the last WC slot "out of it?" Does how we are playing the 7-14 days before the deadline play a major role? One has to think with the "magic" this team has shown and their ability to fight back, come back and streak, at times, maybe the "crap shoot" nature of the playoffs is just what this team would be good at. If we are tied for first place, I can't see us trading Barnes & Ottavino. Maybe, if Sale looks good, we trade ERod, but for what? Maybe we'll be buyers and sellers.
