  1. So, Story shows a little life and gets the day off. Same ole Cora. (Same day Mayer gets a day off, although vs a LHP, I'm okay with that.)
  2. I hope this isn't a never-ending issue with Slaten- staying healthy. He's our solid #3, when healthy.
  3. It's great to see Max back. He's right on Story's slow starts: BA/OPS by month .236/.747 April/March .244/.782 May .282/.817 June .265/.855 July (The SLG% kicks in) .284/.855 August (his peak month & highest OBP by far) .272/.839 Sept/Oct
  4. Yes. Balls and strikes Balks Check Swings Plays at 1B Robo umps on the rise!
  5. With Drohan being a lefty, could we see this? 1. L Anthony DH 2. R Rafaela CF (maybe Durbin or Story or go with LHB Duran?) 3. R Contreras 1B 4. L Abreu RF 5. R Story SS 6. L Duran LF 7. R Narvaez C 8. L Mayer 2B 9. R Durbin 3B
  6. Agreed, and they'd take the pressure off Duran, too. We really need Duran to do well- at least 2025 numbers.
  7. Just about every WOO pitcher got lit up in their 14-10 loss, last night. Good to see KC get 3 hits (.722) Woo's line-up had 6 guys that are now over .948. 1.281 Gasper 1.279 Capra 1.133 Sogard 1.119 Cheng .992 Thaiss .948 Romero POR's staff let up 12 runs, led by Mullins with 5ERs in 1.2 IP. Their leading batters are .909 Ferguson and .889 Arias. GRE got their first win, as Ingrassia got the win by going 3 scoreless in relief (no hits) SAL went to 3-1 with a 10-2 win. Finley looked okay(4IP, 3H, 1ER, 3BB & 2 K) Salazar went 4-5 2 two 2Bs. Azocar 2-5 and Hodge 3-4.
  8. Some scary numbers. But hey, just 11 Ks, last night! LOL
  9. Abreu is still 5th in MLB OPS. Some winter suggestions are off to nice starts, too. 1.183 O'Hearn 1.109 Donovan .954 Josh Bell .905 B Lowe ,861 Schwarber .855 Neto Others- not so nice... .632 Bregman ,623 Polanco .603 Bohm .603 KMarte .591 ESuarez .550 Alonso .507 Arenado .466 Bichette .454 Stott .277 Naylor .236 Ozuna
  10. We were actually outhit and still scored more runs. We even stayed under the over/under on 12 Ks. We drew 5 BBs. Whitlock & Chapman back to form.
  11. Early splits: (6+ PAs) v R 1.300 Wong 1.213 Abreu .753 Contreras .694 Anthony .682 Yoshida .606 Duran .551 Rafaela .500 Monasterio .494 Mayer .485 Narvaez .440 Story .422 Durbin v L 1.300 Yoshida 1.214 Contreras 1.111 Abreu .889 Anthony .522 Duran .000 Story & Durbin It's way too soon to make definitive judgments, but some of these guys have been trending one way or the other for a while.
  12. Agreed, and do away with stupid challenge systems. Just have robo calls 100%. Why slow things down?
  13. Making sense is difficult for you, I see.
  14. Team Records 6-2 Woo (2nd in East Division) 1-1 POR 0-3 GRE 2-1 SAL FCL begins in early May
  15. Is Bastardo beginning with WOO?
  16. I'm not predicting, projecting or even suggesting we will make the playoffs. I merely pointed out we are 3.5 games behind with 152 to go. Somehow, your twisted brain reads that and infers 3.5 is my favorite number. I won't wait for a "yes" or a "no." Those two words might be too big for you to contemplate their meanings. My answer is "no." We are not out of it, but I do agree that we need to see some changes for us to come back. Of course, it's harder to pass 9 teams than 1 or 2, but they all have 152 games to go, too. Some other teams projected to make the playoffs by many: 4-7 SEA 4-6 DET 4-6 TOR How's this for a prediction? The Sox will pass the 6-5 Angels, this year. Agreed? (Cue "crickets" or some diversionary tangent reply.)
  17. Duran up second, tonight: 1. Anthony DH (Mr. Noodle Arm) 2. Duran LF (.581) 3. Contreras 1B .850 4. Abreu RF 1.190 5. Story SS .345 6. Mayer 2B .640 7. Rafaela CF .612 8. Wong C 1.300 (Catching Crochet... hmmmm...) 9. IKF 3B .200
  18. I'm not sure I even know how to find the answer to this. I do know teams have overcome 3.5 games behind many times. Of course, the way we are playing gives us no indication we will come back, but with 152 games left, a lot can happen. I do remember the Sox being 9 games ahead of the Rays going into September 2011, and blew it. I think CLE came back from 15 GB, once. They had less than 152 games to do it.
  19. I think we all feel like this, so I don't get the whole "you can't handle the truth" thing. I haven't been arguing we will make the payoffs. I haven't disagreed with anything. When someone says we are toast, you seem to criticize them for already giving up, so I asked if you have given up, and you go off on some tangent about me not being able to handle the truth. We are the worst team in baseball after 10 games. I mentioned we are just 3-4 games behind being okay and a playoff contender, by the numbers. That's not the same as saying I think we will make the playoffs, or we are playing well enough to still have a shot. That's not even close to my position. My position is that we have sucked. We have played worse than my expectations, but we are not out of it, yet. I'm not sure why you cant say yes or no to simple sentence, but it's been your MO all along.
  20. Huh? I agree with all of this, but you wont say if you have given up, yet. That is a truth as well. Do you predict we miss the playoffs? Try a simple yes or no and stop with the straddling both lanes, so you can later claim you were right, no matter what happens.
