    True, and they do all the thing that don’t show up in flashy stats very well.
  2. moonslav59
    It’s not luck. They’ve done this for years. It’s hard to call a 12 year run momentum, either. I’m not saying I have a better reason.

    6 out of their top 11 PA players are under .675. 3 of their 6 SPers with 5 or more starts have ERAs over 4.00. Somehow, it never matters.
  4. moonslav59
    Weird, cause I never even clicked on that.
  5. moonslav59
    We gained on Toronto and stayed even with NY,
  6. moonslav59
    Exactly, the mistakes made by past organizational leaders should not be held against Bloom & Co.

    I’m not sure he’ll ask to be traded, and Cora did give him a pretty long leash in 2018, but the writing is on the wall.
  8. moonslav59
    There is no need for 4 second basemen. Without Cordero we’d have 5 OFers- Verdugo, Renfroe, Kike, Marwin & Santana plus Jd for NL parks or a pinch. I don’t see Chavis vs Cordero as being a bench depth OF/IF issue. It’s about thinking Cordero will do better or has a better longer term outlook than Chavis. It’s no big deal as Cordero will likely be next - Duran or back to 14 pitchers.
  9. moonslav59
    With Santana up and Kike back, they need Cordero less.
  10. moonslav59
    I think Chavis gets traded for a RP'er.
  11. moonslav59
    All in all, there really isn't a big difference between giving Cordero or Chavis a longer look in the bigs, and it might just be two more weeks, anyway.
  12. moonslav59
    He might be better than Okay offense, and his defense kinda surprised me- not that it was good, but I expected horrific D. He hit 24 HRs in his first 600 PAs in MLB. He K'd a lot, yes, but I do think he deserves a longer look. He'll likely get it elsewhere, unless someone gets hurt.
  13. moonslav59
    They must really think Cordero can turn it around at the ML level.
  14. moonslav59
    Has anyone claimed Brice? BTW, Arroyo returns Tuesday, according to one report. Chavis or Cordero demoted?
  15. moonslav59
    Yes, I know nobody said we were choking, but right now the Yanks and Rays are red hot. It may not last much longer. The start of June has the Yanks playing TBR & BOS, the Sox playing at HOU and then NYY.
  16. moonslav59
    Last 10: 10-0 TBR 8-2 NYY 7-3 BOS It's not like the Sox are choking.

    Speaking of line-ups, and I don't want my opinion to come across as being critical of Cora, I'm wondering about trying to maximize the efficiency of our line-up with just 4 solid hitters that are separated by a wide gulf between them and the rest. The modern line-up theory goes like this: Best overall hitter second (Bogey) Next best 4th (JD) or 5th (Devers). 4th best, if he has a decent OB% is is not super slow goes 1st (Verdugo). Your 5th best hitter goes 4th (Kike or Renfroe or Dalbecvs LHPs) Best line-up? 1. Verdugo 2. Bogey 3. Kike v R/ Dalbec v L 4. JD 5. Devers 6. Santana v R/ Renfroe v L 7. Vaz v R/ Kike or Santana v L 8. Arroyo v R/ Arroyo, Kike or Santana v L 9. Marwin/Arroyo/Santana/Kike v R Vaz v L

    Bazardo is ahead of Brennan, and when Brasier is ready, so will he. If Brennan is next on the pecking order, then yes, he has a better chance than Workman. Also, when is Seabold going to pitch again?
  19. moonslav59
    I still think Workman has a better chance of seeing time with BOS than Brennan.
  20. moonslav59
    fanraphs showed .363.
  21. moonslav59
    It has to be wrong date mojo, but it was worth a try. Max has given us 9 and 3 game winning streaks. He doesn't deserve any complaints.
  22. moonslav59
    Even his K/BB% has changed dramatically from April to May: 20.9% April (led all Sox starters) 16.2% May LD% 25.0% April 30.4% May Hard Hit% 27.1% April 29.1% May BAbip .363 April .461 May

    It would likely show a lot of teams tied at 3, 4 or 5 runs. We've had 24 games where we scored 4 or less runs and 24 scoring 5 or more runs. The next game will determine if our median is 4 or 5. (28 games played) Our median for runs allowed is 4. (22 at 0-3, 8 at 4 and 18 at 5 or more.) So maybe our median game score is 5-4. Rays Scoring 4 (20 games at 0-3, 7 at 4 and 21 at 5 or more.) Allowed: 3 (17 at 0-3, 10 at 3 and 21 at 4 or more. The Rays median game score is 4-3. Yanks (47 games): Scoring: 3 (15 games at 0-2 runs, 9 at 3 and 23 at 4+) Allowed: 3 (17 at 0-2, 8 and 3, and 22 at 4+) The Yanks median game score 3-3. Jays (45 games) Scoring: 4 (16 at 0-3, 7 at 4, and 22 at 5+) Allowed: 4 (19 at 0-3, 7 at 4 and 19 at 5+) Jays median score: 4-4 I'm not sure this tells a very different story, except that we are one low-scoring game away from a median 4-4 score, while the Rays have a solid 4-3 median score.

    Last time he got the date wrong, we won 9 straight! Ease up on Max!

    You mean Workman? Yes.
