    Yes, and Moreland and Beni, as well as JBJ have had some pretty bad numbers vs lefties over their career and recently. Moreland .671 vs LHPs career/.598 in 2019 JBJ .672 career/ .640 in 2020 Beni .693 career/ .796 last year

    Yes, that is funny. He's actually 8 for 20: 7 for his first 9 (.778) 1 for his last 11 (.091)

    Saying nothing will work is not saying we should give up. We should try anything that makes sense to help us win as many games as possible. My guess is, we will be one of the worst teams in MLB, this year. Our pitching sucks. BTW, JBJ is 1 for his last 9, so moving people around based on 3 good games is usually not my idea of a good move. I was for moving him up, last year, after he was hot for over 10 games. It's not like I'm never for moving hot players up.

    Better chance avoiding a major injury issue with 3 x $100M than 1 x $300M. If one gets hurt, we still have 2. If 2 get hurt, even one is better than none. If 3 get hurt, bye bye Bloom.

    That would end the "cliff." I might take another year, assuming most goes right, to get back to the top.
  6. moonslav59
    Nice! I was beginning to wonder just how bad it might get.
  7. moonslav59
    Agreed, but we also know we were never going to sign him, so we ended up losing 2+ months of Betts in a hopeless season with no fans at the games for a pretty good return, despite not getting any arms.
  8. moonslav59
    Well, it was only for one year (actually 2 months) at much less money.
  9. moonslav59
    I have to agree. LA had a surplus of young pitching. We should have demanded one, even if it meant no Verdugo.
  10. moonslav59
    No. I am not currently for moving JBJ into the top 5 slots. This is a tiny sample size. I don't think anything will work. We are headed towards a sub .500 season, at best, and maybe the worst record in MLB. The cliff is here as predicted by some.
  11. moonslav59
    19-2, 21-5 and 14-3...losses.
  12. moonslav59
    This is worse than I expected, and my expectations were for a sub .500 season.
  13. moonslav59
    Because he won't get nearly as much as the Sox will pay him, especially in this economy. Pay some of his salary and trade him, or get some salary in return to offset some of his cost. JD could put some team over the top, this fall.
  14. moonslav59
    His highest OPS slot, career, is 6th (.837), which is not really "bottom." He's batted less than 75 times in the 1-4 slots combined, so yes, SSS.
  15. moonslav59
    I wanted to trade the FAs to be since last summer. Trading Devers after 5 bad games is laughable.
  16. moonslav59
    Yes, it's joo-lie or yu-lai in Spanish..
  17. moonslav59
    His D improved by leaps and bounds, last year. It just doesn't show, this year.
  18. moonslav59
    Devers is the player to build around, IMO. Keep Bogey and Sale, since we are not likely to get much for Sale, and Bogey only has prime years left on his deal. We aren't looking at a 5 year rebuild. No way. We should be able to turn this around by 2021 or 2022, especially if we go over the luxury tax line, next year. If anyone should be traded, it should be players that become FAs after this year or next. Those players are: After 2020: JBJ Pillar Workman After 2021: ERod (if we can't extend him) Barnes Hembree I'd even explore trading JD. He may not be much help on his last year of his deal in 2022. One could argue trading them for the best we can get, even if the return is not equal. Just get controllable- low cost players in return and strengthen the bottom of our 40 man roster and the farm.

    Many people here are hung up on keeping people in one slot for comfort reasons. I've never bought into that. JBJ is known for epic hot streaks, and I mean white hot, and epic long a ice cold slumps. Why they don't use it when he's hot, I'll never know.
  20. moonslav59
    The "cliff" is here. Let's just hope it is short-lived.
  21. moonslav59
    Plus, the E's by Devers. Crappy loss to a crappy team. Nice to see JBJ get out of the gate quickly. I hope he can keep it up. We can't afford another 60 day slump to open the season, for that would be the whole season!
  22. moonslav59
    It does sound nice. Maybe Canada should create a CMLB.
  23. moonslav59
    This is the best way to look at what happened. I'm going to miss Mookie. He was the best all around Sox player I ever saw. (I missed Yaz in his prime, and Fred Lynn came close.)
  24. moonslav59
    ...and Eovaldi, JD, JBJ & Pillar!
  25. moonslav59
    Great game. I know this is just the O's, but it's always nice to get out of the gate with a monster win.
