  1. I'm not even close to supporting us being sellers, but we could really set ourselves up nicely for 2022 and beyond with a few rental trade-aways. Barnes Ottavino ERod
  2. Dalbec 5 PAs with no K. Two hits to boot. Kike holding up the lead off slot. Verdugo on base 4 times. JD passed Devers and Bogey for the team OPS lead. (on base 4 times) Renfroe & Vaz with 2 hits, too. Devers a dinger and 2 BBs. The pen, other than Andriese, looked sharp.
  3. Maybe the best closer season since Koji. Kimbrel fans may argue with this.
  4. I'm not all that high on Downs, but I would not do this deal. Not even close.
  5. Wilson is not as good as some players we need to Rule 5 protect.
  6. Did Andriese's ERA go down, tonight? It was only 2 ERs in 1 IP.
  7. Crooked Number Night!
  8. One could arrange it this way: .959 first 92 PAs .558 middle 108 PAs .771 in last 138 PAs Now, it's almost 2:1 PAs with better numbers vs the 0ne bad stretch.
  9. They may sell if they go .500, too.
  10. Andriese had just one bad game in April, in terms of runs allowed. He did allow an IR to score in his first game, then his second game was bad, but he then went 7 straight games dong very well. 8.2 IP 5 H 0 ER 2 BB 7 K In May, he pitched 9 games. He allowed a run or more to score or an IR'er to score all but one game. 12 IP 24 H 12 ER 5 BB 12 K In June, he pitched 5 games- allowing a run or more in 4 of 5. (more of a long relief role) 9.1 IP 12H 7 ER 2 BB 12 K The only game he inherited runners (3) he allowed all to score. July- 2 games 2.1 IP 6 H 2 ER 0 BB 2 K All season, he's only inherited 6 runners-all have scored. Couple that with his 5.70 ERA, and you can see why many of us are fed up.
  11. The pre-Henry trade of Jamie Moyer for Darren Bragg hurt. It seems clear we have done well to very well with our deadline deals since Henry came aboard.
  12. Too bad. I'm not happy with our announcers, now.
  13. That extra inning game was more or less by force. When was the other times he pitched in the 8th or 9th in a close game? (I'm not doubting he has, but I don't recall his other games.)
  14. I agree, but once the deadline passes, you are stuck with what you have in your system.
  15. While I whole-heartedly agree, I felt the same about Ben. (I don't want to open the can of worms on which deals were Ben's and which were not his.)
  16. Yes, I noticed that. If he was hitting a consistent .750 over his first 340 PAs in MLB, most would think that was a very nice start- very promising, and nothing to think about, in terms of demotions or benching/platooning, but the unbalanced nature of the start of his career- spread out over 2 seasons, makes it harder to know just who Dalbec is. It was my hope, he could muster a decent OBP, despite striking out a lot, but the .290 career mark needs to improve for me to be sold on him as our corner IF'er of the future. I am far from giving up on him, but there are times I think a benching or demotion are not far-fetched.
  17. Yes, there is a good chance none of these guys are cut or demoted. Sale, Houck and Brasier, assuming they reach the ability to be called up may replace players placed on the IL and not Rios, Andriese or Workman (or Santana).
  18. 88 games played. We are 54-34 27-17 Home & Away .500 or better vs every team we played, except Texas (1-3) and HOU (2-5). Divide the season into 8- 11 game sample sizes: 8-3 5-6 7-4 6-5 6-5 7-4 7-4 8-2 How about 4- 22 game sample sizes? 13-9 13-9 13-9 15-6
  19. He's just a placeholder for Sale or Houck.
  20. Change of subject: Bobby Dalbec: .959 first 92 PAs .595 middle 173 PAs .873 last 73 PAs (Basically, he's been about a 900 hitter early and late and 600 in the middle.) Career: .751 in 338 PAs Projected over 676 PAs: .229 36 102 (66 XBHs)
  21. I get that, and I don't entirely disagree. I just look at the trade without what happened after. Many view the Beckett trade as including his re-signing much later.
  22. They do. They keep all their options open. He can certainly return to April form, again. Santana could return to 2018 form. Rios? Does he have a good time period?
  23. If you could trade picks, would you trade the 4th pick for the 10th and a second rounder? It seems hard to place value on draft slots.
  24. Some seem to think that contract is the reason he hasn't been cut, so far. (not me)
  25. I'm not saying they did have thoughts of making a strong play for Betts. My point was that even if they did, I don't count any extension as part of the trade.
