    My guess would be super two day, but who knows? A lot can happen between then and now. If we could get meaningful inputs from Duran and Casas or two from Duran, Casa and Downs after super two day 2022, we'd be looking golden. Imagine having all the financial resources to focus on pitching (replacing or re-signing Barnes, Ottavino & ERod) and depth improvement (replacing Marwin, Santana, Chavis and others). The rebuilding timing has been the best we could possibly hope for, if 2 of those 3 come though. Then, on top of that, we have some outside hopes from Seabold, Houck, Ward, Mata, Song, Ronaldo Hernandez or several other promising youngsters. We, then replace Duran, Casas and Downs with Jimenez, Yorke, Bello, Aldo Ramirez and our 2021 draftees.

    So, I was wrong about Pivetta, and you were right?
  3. moonslav59
    Exactly! I hope he stays hot, so the question does not come up again.
  4. moonslav59
    Hypothetical is not fact.
  5. moonslav59
    Yes, of course. I'm not the one trying to prove we would have won without Price. I think we would have, because that team always did whatever it took, but it's not a "fact" we win without him. It would have been harder, for sure. My guess is we'd have started Nate in one of those games and missed his great pen work. (Nate started 0 games in the WS and pitched 8 innings in 5 games. Maybe Porcello, Sale or ERod pitch the "other game." IP in 5 WS games 13.2 Price 8.0 Nate 6.1 ERod 5.0 Sale 4.2 Porcello Remember, we had 5 days off before the WS, so it's not like our other options were over-worked in the WS.

    Bring up Chavis.

    We passed the CWS for the second best AL record, tonight. We're 1/2 game behind TBR and tied in the loss column.
  8. moonslav59
    How many times has that happened?
  9. moonslav59
    Ottavino never makes it look easy, but hey, he didn't walk the first guy! Yipee! Nice game. Too bad Pivetta misses out on getting the win, but maybe that will help light a fire for him the bear down as the game gets to the 5th and 6th inning- an area he has struggle in. The pen went 4.1 allowing just one late run. 7 Ks along with Pivetta's 6 showed the dominance. Arroyo looks like he may stick at leadoff.
  10. moonslav59
    None of this is proof we lose without him. It would have been harder to win without big Nate.

    Price did great in the World Series, byr he pitched 3 good to great games out of 5 playoff starts. We won every series easily. It's hard to say we lose without any one player. Yes, we were that good! Price in 2018 playoffs (reverse order): IP ER H+BB 7.0 1 5 (pitching on short rest, a gutsy and huge win while we were up 3-1 in series) 6.0 2 6 (huge win v LAD to tie the series at 1-1- no doubt- HUGE!) 6.0 0 3 (Awesome pitched game v HOU in a series we were up 3-1) 4.2 4 9 (We had to come back after Price left down 4-2 to win v HOU) 1.2 3 5 (turned the Yankee series from 1-0 us to 1-1.)
  12. moonslav59
    Was his name jacko?
  13. moonslav59
    Facts can be proven. This is speculation. Maybe we don't win without him, but we were awesome in 2018. We lost Sale and picked up Nate and didn't miss a beat. Steve Pearce came out of nowhere. The Yanks couldn't win as you pointed out. The Stros have proven they can't win without cheating. The Dodgers would have been harder to beat without Price, but not impossible. I still think we'd win without Price or any single Sox player. We were that good. In fact, the argument against DD, used my many, and maybe even you, was that he went for overkill and traded away too much of the farm for the win now plan that brought us the record breaking 2018 season. Can I prove we win without Price OR Sale? No. But, you can't prove we lose, either. I'm not dissing Price or his 2018 WS two games started.
  14. moonslav59
    I'm not arguing about his pitching in the WS. I'd be fine calling him the MVP. That does not mean it's a fact we couldn't have won without him, The rest of the playoffs he let up 7 runs, 11 hits and 6 walks in 13.1 IP (3 GS'd). That's a 4.73 ERA. Priceless!
  15. moonslav59
    You named two players who haven;t even played, this year and 3 teams that have nothing to do with how you have hated on the vast majority of Sox players, at some point this year. Sometimes flip-flopping from one AB to the next.
  16. moonslav59
    Can't find one example.
  17. moonslav59
    Fact? LOL. It's a certainty we lose both games he pitched, had we started someone else? Then, somehow, we lose another game he didn't even pitch in? LOL. Yes, he was great in the 2018 WS- not the whole PO's. Pearce was, too. Nate was, too. Others, too.
  18. moonslav59
    I've been wrong many many times, but unlike you, I easily admit it.
  19. moonslav59
    I'm not complaining, ut what ever happened to the stretch out Whitlock plan? Tonight, he faced one batter in the 5th inning- a perfect long inning situation. Has anyone said they changed their minds? I'm not bitching- just wondering.
  20. moonslav59
    This is the guy who said he hasn't hated on almost every Sox player at some point.
  21. moonslav59
    Looks like we found our lead off hitter. I wish I had thought of using Arroyo in that slot!
  22. moonslav59
    His whole point was, on another thread, that there was no way the Yanks could ever win with the rosters they've had in the last decade.
  23. moonslav59
    All the more reason to catch the Rays and win the damn division!
  24. moonslav59
    He's got one more arb year left, and should get a big raise, if he continues like this. I doubt we offer what the Marlins would want for 1.3 yrs of him. If we get anyone, if might be a salary dump player with 2 months left, but who is doing well. Maybe a Carlos Santana type guy, if we opt for 1B over pitching.
  25. moonslav59
    So, how could we possibly lose to the Yanks even without Price? A guy nominated for the biggest choke in league history all the way up until 2 starts in the WS where he goes 5 and 5.2 IP.
