    Nobody jumps out as a clear choice for leadoff without hurting another key batting order slot. I guess Santana's speed and the hope that he's played enough games, this year, that one might expect a groove-finding. Had anyone said the argument for Arroyo as our lead off man been stated back in March, the poster might have been banned or institutionalized. Marwin seems to be heating up, but I'd want a longer sample before giving the slot to him. Vaz/Plawecki might be my second choice behind Christian.

    We are 5.5 games up an the New York Jacko-ankees! 6 in the loss column.

    How about Roger Moret going into a catatonic state in the locker room? Oil Can Boyd after the All Star snub. Carl Everett.

    Bill Lee was one of my all time favorite Sox players. He was a fun loving character but was very serious when on the mound. He won 17 games for 3 years in a row from 1973 to 1975. He got involved in a nasty fight with the Yanks where the intentionally destroyed his throwing shoulder. From 1971 to 1975, he had a 3,30 ERA (119 ERA+) despite a 1.32 WHIP. He pitched better with men on base. He had a decent season with the Expos after being traded after a decent last season with the Sox in 1978 (3.46 ERA/121 ERA+)

    Good call. Bill Lee was the master of the 11 hit shutout.

    I'm watching the games. I'm just keeping the no show game thread mojo working.

    That we may do. I could see us trading someone like Chavis for a salary dump player. I doubt we trade someone younger or more promising. Bloom may have a few prospects he doesn't like that other GMs view in a better light. Maybe pitchers from before his time, like Groome, Ward or even Mata, but I doubt for a 2 month rental.

    The make-up game takes away a scheduled rest day. 5:10 start time, so don't miss it. We can't look ahead to Astro payback. We need to beat the Marlins and keep the pressure on the Rays and Yanks and all the other contenders. I'm gonna stick to my call for Arroyo to lead off, but it seems like he's getting big hits no matter where he is in the line-up or coming off the bench. Pivetta is reaching the time where his sample size is getting too large to think this has all been some kind of fluke. A wing here would help prove it's no fluke. Keep it rolling, guys!

    Somebody had to apply pressure to the bleeding.

    Richards pitched poorly enough to let up 5-7 runs. The Yanks scored 3 off him. We bumbled in the field, again. We were saved by the DP- three times. We were saved by a timely hit by Bogey. We were saved by a horrific strike call. We could have lost this game countless ways. We didn't. Is this magical or is it something special about this team? I do know one thing: this is fun!
  12. moonslav59
    These are the kind of wins that have lasting affects. For both teams.
  13. moonslav59
    Are we really at a point where we want to trade some of our future for a win now addition?
  14. moonslav59
    I keep waiting for their rotation to stumble, but their peskiness is ceaseless.
  15. moonslav59
    So, give final judgment after 25% of his contract length within the context of the whole league hitting much lower than it has since 1968. Makes sense to me.
  16. moonslav59
    If anyone knew that's what he'll give us going forward, correct. There would be no justification, except maybe we have nobody better. Baseball does not work out so neatly.
  17. moonslav59
    Plenty. We just won't part with any worthy ones.

    It's been 2 months.

    Is Kike's ceiling his two best years? .836 in 2015 (218 PAs) .806 in 2018 (462 PAs) If you add them together, it would look something like this: 680 PAs 28 HRs .270 BA .340 OBP .475 SLG .815 OPS That would be a nice ceiling to reach. (If that's what we agree Kike's ceiling is.)
  20. moonslav59
    I don't disagree, but I might guess .240 to .245 but an OBP around .325 to .335 not .290ish.
  21. moonslav59
    You sure did your best to make DD look good without it being your "job." You clearly dislike Bloom and do all you can to focus on what he has done wrong. That's "your thing."
  22. moonslav59
    Because it would mean he was wrong about Bloom. He'd rather the Sox suck and gloat than have to admit he was wrong on Bloom.
  23. moonslav59
    It still remains to be seen, if he can hit .260 like the minors not .220 like the majors. He also walked a lot more in the minors (.360 OBP). There's a chance he can improve in these areas and be a much better player. The K rate will likely not change much.
  24. moonslav59
    Except, nobody was helping us pay CC's contract.
  25. moonslav59
    That's the hindsight aspect of your choice of comps. And, it's only idiotic if you're trying to make bloom look good- something you clearly will never do.
