    Yup!
  2. moonslav59
    That makes up for the Beni blunder.
  3. moonslav59
    Wow! We got a call!
  4. moonslav59
    Been an enjoyable game, so far. Mookie is back! (Good time for it!) Beni could have caught another one, but his fat legs weighed him down. Good game by Cashner. The pen needs to finish these guys off.
  5. moonslav59
    The guy in the restroom, though, has no clue.
  6. moonslav59
    The thing is, Holt hits LHPs almost exactly the same as RHPs. Career: .718 vs RHP .697 vs LHP (They will not platoon Beni.)

    1 Mookie Betts, RF 2 Rafael Devers, 3B 3 Xander Bogaerts, SS 4 J.D. Martinez, DH 5 Christian Vazquez, C 6 Andrew Benintendi, LF 7 Sam Travis, 1B 8 Michael Chavis, 2B 9 Jackie Bradley Jr., CF Andrew Cashner, RHP (9-5, 4.19 ERA)

    That's the type of deal I see us making... maybe 2 like this.
  9. moonslav59
    Are you still as high on Paxton and Happ as you were over the winter? (I know I've had to revise my thinking on Porcello & Eovaldi.)
  10. moonslav59
    Team record in starts would cover that better than the pitcher's W-L record, but even that really penalizes pitchers who have poor run support and/or a pen that can't close the deal in low scoring, close games.
  11. moonslav59
    I had thought (hoped) he'd replacePorcello in the rotation, but the pen may be a better fit.
  12. moonslav59
    If having an .818 July OPS is "slumping", I'll take it! Dalbec is doing fine. On Ockimey, I'm not sure I'd call .766 in his 90 games at AAA "nothing" this year. He also has 17 HRs and 32 XBHs in just 282 ABs. He was very raw when we got him, and the thought was he'd take longer than normal to develop. I'm not saying I have high hopes for him, but he has shown power in an era where power rules.

    I'd have sent Travis down, kept Hernandez and gone with Holt and Vaz as 1B depth behind Moreland.. Looks like we will go with 13 pitchers the entire season. I'm not sure the last time the Sox did that.
  14. moonslav59
    I like ERA- and OPS Against. I use WHIP a lot, because it's easier to find. I'm not big on K/9 or xFIP, but the K/BB ratio is of better use for me. IP is important for placing value on a pitcher but does not really help with determining who is better at getting someone out.
  15. moonslav59
    It mattered more but still had flaws. Run support is a big part of W-L's.
  16. moonslav59
    Yes. A pitcher can also go 4.2 IP of shut out ball and the next guy lets up 5 runs and gets the win. It seems like these facts are easier to overlook than some flaws in the WAR metric.
  17. moonslav59
    ...only if it starts changing towards the good.
  18. moonslav59
    I don't think he meant as trade commodities.
  19. moonslav59
    Yes, and when you trade for a pitcher, only the pro-rated portion counts. Plus, teams often will pay part of a salary dump deal.
  20. moonslav59
    Team record in a starter's starts is better than just the W-L record of the SP'er, but the stat is so flawed in it's not really a stat I think is very useful.
  21. moonslav59
    That's a similar reason why I had hoped the Yanks got Harper or Machado- or both.
  22. moonslav59
    Are the Twinkies still your bitches?
  23. moonslav59
    It was certainly worth it. Soon, we pay the consequences, which is fine with me. I expected it all along. I just hope we make the lull short and not too bad, although real bad may help us draft well and do better in the extended future.
  24. moonslav59
    Most certainly the best game of the year for me to watch. I'm hopeful this will be a spring board for us and the beginning of a rough stretch for the Spankees. We'll see, tomorrow. We have to break the mold of following up big wins with worse losses. JBJ getting hot again would be a big plus. Bogey, Beni, Moreland, Chavis and just about everyone came through, but the performance from Porcello may be the best thing about tonight.

    Happ=Porcello
