What does Frenchy have on the Red Sox

Who knew? -
Just like that! One swat by the man child,
-
Why is he leading off. LOL We’ve all been there, Jason.
-
Yuck,
-
With Verdugo out, there were no good options:
-
Time for top of the order damage!
-
Arauz con leche!
-
3 Ks for Nate,
-
Who was it that wanted Eovaldi moved to closer? Maybe when Whitlock is stretched out, Nate can be moved to a set up role.
-
Maybe a 16-13 final score
-
Yanks up by 4, quickly.[/i]
-
Are we sure?
-
Yes- no Cordero helps, instantly.
-
nice start by Eovaldi. Let’s get some runs out of the gait,
-
That makes sense. Our strategy of acquiring good pitchers by trade and free agency has not always worked out well, but each of our 4 rings involved a major acquisition or two or more to our pitching staff.

1 Chavis 2B 2 Denver’s 3B 3 JD LF 4 Bogey DH 5 Renfroe CF 6 Dalbec 1B 7 Gonzalez RF 8 Plawecki C 9 Aránzazu SS Vaz and Verdugo off with Bogey DHing again. Dalbec and Renfroe moved up.

Some people don’t even think Ottavino is solid. Whitlock is being stretched to a starter. Barnes is on pace for 77 IP, which is about 7 more than his career high. We need another solid set up man and maybe two. Maybe a couple guys we already have can improve enough to fill those roles, and I know I’ve been calling them all “sucky” of late. Some will likely be okay, but as 4-9 men not top 4 pen arms. Bazardo, Brasier, Houck and maybe a starter who is sent to the pen when Sale returns or Whitlock is promoted to the rotation, but I’d say we have a high need area in our pen.
-
ERA is a ver bad stat for RP’ers. Plus, my point is not about who is the worst of the sucky six. It’s about them all being pretty much interchangeable and not even coming close to being overworked. Only Barnes is on pace for being overworked by about 8 innings.
-
I only bring it up because jacko is always predicting missed time due to injury for Eovaldi and more recently ERod who has started 27 or more games for 5 years, until Covid- not an injury forced a missed season.
-
Giving all of Brice’s IP to the other 5 sucky RPers plus Whitlock would not have even come close to overworking any of them. Brice has less than 12 IP. That’s two for each of the 6 not named Barnes or Ottavino. Name one of those six that you think adding 2 IP would have fatigued him.
-
Why are you blaming their suckiness on fatigue? Our starters are 5th in IP and we’ve had 9 RPers all season. The only guy on pace for too many innings is Barnes, not one of the sucky six. Show me one example where we brought in a sucky six pitcher on too short rest. Everyone of the sucky six are on pace for 60 IP or less, except Andriese, who is a long man, and he’s headed for 65, which is low for a long man. There is some advantage to allowing Cora one more choice in trying to determine who matches up best with the next batter(s), but no matter who he chooses, when they end up sucking, he gets blamed for bringing in someone who has sucked recently, despite the fact that all six have sucked recently.

How long will Judge stay healthy? Stanton, too.

What does Frenchy have on the Red Sox

I think the point was about JBJ having worse than horrific offensive numbers for a very long time at the start of his ML career. Many fans gave up on him, despite the great D. Many even gave up on him later in his career during one of his very long slumps. We know Cordero is no GG, so I get how the comp is not a good one, but I guess the point was about just offensive bad slumps only. -
They have some big named hitters, and we’ve handled them pretty well. One more game to go, so the final grade is not in.
-
As you can probably tell by now, the list of six all seem about the same to me, except Brice. DHern has a ton of potential but that 8.5 BB/9 rate is horrific. They all have some major flaw or are on a bad streak. I have faith a couple or three might end up giving us plus value, but at this moment bringing in any of these 6 is a coin toss with a two-headed quarter.
