    We keep having (or choosing) to use Whitlock the game before Houck starts. That hurts.
  2. moonslav59
    I think it depends on how different the 4 seamer looks from the 2 seamer.

    1. Schwarber LF 2. Devers 3B (what a mighty 1-2!) 3. JD DH 4. Bogey SS 5. Verdugo RF 6. Plawecki C 7. Dalbec 1B 8. Duran CF 9. Arauz 2B

    Plawecki has a .258 OPS over his last 7 games. That time frame coincides with the time some of us, myself included, we saying he should play more. Some, not me, wanted him to be the starting catcher over Vaz. I would sit Dalbec vs the RHP and give Duran another game. I'm not sure I'd lead Duran off, though. Maybe something like this: 1. Verdugo LF 2. Schwarber 1B 3. JD DH 4. Devers 3B 5. Bogey SS 6. Renfroe RF 7. Plawecki C 8. Arauz 2B 9. Duran CF

    No, of course not, but 3 games, yes, I'm 100% sure. No manager sits a guy like JD 3 games, unless they're hurt. As I showed, he hasn't even sat Dalbec 3 games but one time, and that was after he had done well in his previous 2 games. It just does not happen to studs like JD. Yes, the Dalbecs, Marwins, Santanas and other mere mortals, but not JD. With Cora being the all-loyalty guy, it was 100%. Plus, iortiz made the 3 days off claim after knowing those guys were all out (including Arroyo). Not that it matters, but right before JD's 9 game very bad slump, he hit 1.394 in his previous 6 games. 1.103 in his previous 9 games. .877 in his previous 29 games Managers rarely make knee-jerk reactions concerning their best players, and especially after just a 9 game slump.

    He has gone 5 innings, twice- just not with a lead. He's also gone 4.2, twice and 4.1, once. He's one 5 inning start away from tying Perez at 4.5 IP/GS. The team is 4-4 in his starts.

    How do we view his role in 2022? Is this all a fluke?
  9. moonslav59
    When is the last day we gained a full game on the Yanks? I know it was at least 2 weeks ago. Nobody is gaining on the Rays (also 9-1 in their last 10!) Here is the updated AL Standings, and we are tied with the CWS for the 4th best record in the league. 81-48 TBR 77-52 HOU -4.0 best record 76-53 NYY -5.0 ALE 75-56 BOS -7.0 ALE/ -2.0 WC1 75-56 CWS ALC leader 71-59 OAK -3.5 WC2 69-61 SEA -5.5 WC2 67-61 TOR -6.5 WC2 Today's Games: BOS (Houck) @ CLE (Morgan) TBR (Archer) @ BAL (Watkins) NYY (Montgomery) @ OAK (Blackburn)

    I didn't agree with the idea of benching JD 3 games over a 9 game slump. Someone complimented me on that position, and I was trying to say taking that position was not hard to do "(rocket science"); it's the position every manager in MLB would make. I don't deserve credit for stating the obvious.
  11. moonslav59
    He said he wanted to test Ottavino with a higher pressure save situation, so he would know if he could count on him the next super tight event.
  12. moonslav59
    He said he wanted to cause a big debate on all the Sox blogs.
  13. moonslav59
    I’m not taking credit for a decision every manager on the planet would have made. Not agreeing with the idea of benching JD over a 9 game slump is not rocket science.
  14. moonslav59
    Actually, I suggested we bat JD 3rd or 6th.
  15. moonslav59
    4 balls and 1 strike. Thank God the guy swing at ‘em!
  16. moonslav59
    Bases loaded, so bring in the guy who always walks the first guy!
  17. moonslav59
    Pure insanity
  18. moonslav59
    The thing is, even if he went 0 for 5, sitting him more than one game is just plain wrong.
  19. moonslav59
    Sawa-demure-ah
  20. moonslav59
    I'm about all done with Sawamura, now.
  21. moonslav59
    Flipping brazier burgers at the nearby DQ.
  22. moonslav59
    Can anybody show me how many IF hits we have had against us, this year vs how many we have ourselves?
  23. moonslav59
    Looks like JD DID need 3 days off- not just one! LOL I had to say it.
  24. moonslav59
    With Eovaldi, the disparity is not as great as with others: ERA/OPS Against 2021 3.78/ .665 w Plawecki 4.03/ .723 w Vaz 2020 0.62/ .611 Plawecki (only 14 Innings) 4.98/ .856 Vaz Career 3.24/ .656 Plawecki 4.30/ .765 Vaz (Disclaimer: CERA is fake news.)
  25. moonslav59
    Could that HR by Arauz have been enough to save his slot on next year's 40 man? (I had him being a casualty, and that was before counting FA signings.)
