    It's not like Plawecki has been doing poorly. Vaz is second in MLB in innings at catcher. Plawecki is 56th.

    They have not slept all game.

    Been saying that for years, but people bring up "pitch- framing" and other baloney. For years our back-up catchers get better results from the same pitchers as he does. Yes, he has hit better than most catchers, and he does some other things well enough, but handling the staff has almost always been an issue with him.

    For either team in a Sox game, yes.

    Not if the defense could make a couple plays.

    He was scorching the ball for outs before and during this hot streak.

    ERod on pace for 21-22 Ks, tonight! We've seen a bunch of no hitters, and with the great increase in league K rates, you'd think a big K pitcher might challenge the record at some point. (Not ERod.)

    They always find ways to keep doing well. Counting on Rich Hill to step it up may be too much to ask. These numbers do not look too easy to beat: ERA/WHIP 3.38/1.020 Rich Hill 3.63/1.083 Yarbrough 2.70/1.243 Collin McHugh 3.20/1.030 Josh Fleming 4.50/1.067 Luis Patino 4.54/1.210 Wacha 4.54/1.366 McClanahan Pen 2.81/1.130 Diego Castillo 1.44/0.862 Kittredge 1.84/0.989 Thompson 1.06/1.176 Fairbanks 1.69/1.250 Strickland 3.41/1.034 J Springs

    Ain't that the truth!

    Renfroe gone hunting.

    Devers forevers! Lock him up! Long term.

    That's what the Yanks thought, when they traded Snell.

    You need to convince the wife that those early bird specials will save you a bundle over the long term.
  15. moonslav59
    If we go back to 14 pitchers, something like that may work out, and another idea might be to increase his pitches per game but not pitch him as often. He could end up going 2-4 innings every 4-5 days and give all our starters a bit of a rest every few starts by yanking them early on a schedule.
  16. moonslav59
    That and all our starters were doing very well, and our pen needed a set-up guy, badly. He's certainly on an innings or workload limit, this year, so yes, having him not be all used up by September and October might be a worthwhile choice made.
  17. moonslav59
    I used to do the same. I remember in college, I was one of the few who had an electric typewriter.
  18. moonslav59
    I think he scares jacko more as a starter.
  19. moonslav59
    It's not like he's been an established RP'er with a long record of success as one. It will be interesting to see if he ever does get "stretched out" like they said he was going to be or gets a spot start here or there.
  20. moonslav59
    Goo d f or y o u !! !
  21. moonslav59
    The pen may be the most likely landing spot for both, especially Houck, but unless we replace or re-sign ERod, we'll need one of these guys to start- two if someone gets hurt: Whitlock, Houck or Seabold.
  22. moonslav59
    When and if he comes back, this year, we can give that a try.
  23. moonslav59
    I'm not for spending $18M+ on a top closer. Even Kimbrel's contract bugged me due to the haul we had to give up to take that on. We will need to sign at least 2-3 decent RP'ers, if we lose Barnes & Ottavino. We don't have to go large and long, however.
  24. moonslav59
    You look at things like extra spaces?
  25. moonslav59
    My mantra has been "get the best we can for Chavis+ Groome, and call it a day."
