    ...at least we have 3 SP'ers with an ERA at 4.10 or under.
  2. moonslav59
    ...and robo umps would lessen ejections immensely.
  3. moonslav59
    Robo Umps NOW!
  4. moonslav59
    Then they must do very well vs bad teams.
  5. moonslav59
    Yes, and then some!

    Yankee SP'er ERAs 4.03 German 4.20 Paxton 4.46 Tanaka (after 2 IP tonight) 4.50 Sabathia 4.50 Loaisiga 4.58 Green 5.23 Happ

    Man, I wish we had SP'ers like the Yankees have!

    Wins, losses, saves and blown save are very important, but how they are assigned is flawed and often times comical. We hear a lot about how flawed WAR, UZR/150 and other metrics are, so it seems fair to point out the flaws in some traditional stats, especially those that involve rules developed years ago that have serious flaws.

    I'm with you, and even if Eovaldi becomes the next Koji, we could still use a solid set up man.

    Slumping? The guy has had 7 PAs since his return. I guess you can call it a slump, but he's only played 1 full game since coming back. Before his return he has these most recent numbers: .818 in 22 most recent PAs 1.000 in his previous 60 PAs. .859 since April 5th (146 PAs) Nobody could use those numbers. Plus, some of the 1Bman you listed on the contenders could be moved to DH, or MM could DH (or platoon 1B/DH). He could even play LF.

    Not the entire staff. ERod has been very good, Price, too. Workman has done pretty well, but as a whole, the pitching staff has sucked way too often, which implies not all the time.
  12. moonslav59
    It's not a spin. Nobody likes the way our pen has pitched overall, but more games have been lost by our starters than our pen, and it's not even close! That's not spin. Our SP'ers and pen have both sucked far too often.

    I doubt Duran ever makes a ML splash. I think we trade JBJ and sign or sign or trade for a cheap, defensive CF'er. We may also try to move Chavis to LF, if Dalbec or Ockimey convince management they can play at the ML level next year AND we look to cut salary in 2020.

    Porcello lets up a lot of bombs, and the Yanks have teed off on him often, but these 4 Sox players, combined, have 9 HRs in about 110 ABs vs Tanaka: 3 JD 2 Moreland 2 Beni 2 Betts These 4 have 10 HRs off Porcello but in 143 ABs: 3 EE 3 Hicks 2 Gardner 2 Did
  15. moonslav59
    Maybe seeing the wall in LF makes him want to go that way.
  16. moonslav59
    I doubt we trade Moreland. We will use Chavis at 2B. Also, the only team that might want Moreland would be a contender. Not only would they probably want us to pay part or most of his salary, they'd probably not want to part with a RP'er, because they can't afford to weaken their pen for a playoff run. A 3 team deal might be the only way to make it happen. Moreland to a contender. A prospect to a third team. A RP'er to us from the 3rd team looking to shed salary or a FA to be rental.

    It's the year of the juiced ball more than the year of the home run. I'm seeing so many badly hit balls going over the fence. You can even see the surprise on some player's faces when the ball goes out after a poor swing. This is not the baseball I have loved for so long, but I guess the "new generation" is what this is all about. The one thing the new generation may force is the shortening of the game. We need that badly!

    No MLB team will ever have better than 50-50 odds to win it all as the playoffs start. Bet "the field." Certainly, the Yanks look very strong right now, and if the pick up a good SP'er, like I'm sure they will, they might look even stronger, but I'm still waiting for them to have a rough patch before the season is over. Then, maybe some will see them as being less invincible.
  19. moonslav59
    The Yanks will not win it all, even if they get Scherzer. At best, they lose to the Dodgers in the WS. At best.
  20. moonslav59
    Perhaps DD's biggest strength has been making in-season deals at a very low cost.
  21. moonslav59
    Cleveland is playing very well right now, but they will have a tough stretch at some point. We will catch them, because we are better. Book it.
  22. moonslav59
    Yes, indeed. My whole family comes from all over the world every summer. 20+ at a big lake house on Sebago. Life is good!
  23. moonslav59
    Glad to see the A's lose, but those damn Cleveland Francos!
  24. moonslav59
    Maybe they just felt like he was the closest pitcher to be ML ready and selected in rule 5, not because they liked him better than others.
  25. moonslav59
    I'm in Maine now and will be going to a Sea Dogs game at some point. My nephew works at the park! I'll keep you posted. Love it her in Maine... in the summer!
