  1. Good thing he doesn't have to run to 1B on a BB.
  2. The umps suck, but we have to stop bitching at them. The bitching may be what's making them screw us over.
  3. 19 starts for Sale 5 starts with 5 or more runs, including his last 3 starts. 10 starts with 4 or more let up (counting unearned runs) 5 starts with 7 or more IP'd. 18 starts for Porcello 5 starts with 5 or more runs allowed, including last 3. 9 starts with 4 or more runs allowed, including unearned. 3 starts with 7 or more IP 19 starts for ERod 5 starts with 5 or more runs allowed 9 starts with 4+ runs allowed- counting unearned. 4 starts with 7 or more IP.
  4. The pen won't matter, if we keep getting starts like this from our "big 4."
  5. They may still sell, even if they are in it by the deadline.
  6. Maybe this guy ends up doing well, but I knew some quality pitchers could be had without trading a top prospect like Casas or Dalbec. I usually do not like rental deals, but this looks good. Baltimore is even paying some of the money.
  7. I agree. The HR numbers are way out of whack, but league ERA has not risen all that much, and ERod's HR/9 number is not that much higher than recent years or his career number. 1.3 2019 and 2016 1.2 career and 2017 1.1 in 2018
  8. He's also had his worst slumps in the 9 slot. What I find interesting is the timing of the move back to the 9 slot vs a RHP and with Leon in the order.
  9. JBJ dropped back down to 9 is interesting. I know Brock bats lefty, but his splits are about as even as can be. 2 games in a row for Brock. No Nunez. No Marco. Maybe the biggest game of the year, so far, for Sale.
  10. Good points, but the Manfred ball does not explain everything. AL ERA 4.38 2017 4.27 2018 4.56 2019 FIP 4.39 4.23 4.56 WHIP 1.33 1.31 1.34 ERod ERA 4.19 2017 (0.19 below AL ERA) 3.82 2018 (0.45 below) 4.43 2019 (0.13 below) WHIP 1.28 (.05 below) 1.26 (.05 below) 1.32 (.02 below) FIP 3.97 (0.22 below) 3.65 (0.68 below) 4.03 (0.53 below) The adjustments do help ERod look better, but all the major numbers, except IP/GS are worse than 2018 after adjusting to league averages.
  11. It does seem to be the moment of truth for Sale. Will he be... Chris Freakin' Sale or Freakin' Chris Sale?
  12. Who wants that kind of upheaval in MLB every summer?
  13. With our pen being overworked and in shambles, going longer into games has been great for ERod, but in almost every other category of measurement, he is doing worse than 2018 (and in some, 2017 as well): ERA 4.19 2017 3.82 2018 4.43 2019 ERA+ 109 116 107 WHIP 1.28 1.26 1.32 FIP 3.97 3.65 4.03 IP/GS 5.7 (4th on team) 5.4 (4th on team) 5.9 (leads team) QS% 50% (5th on team) 30% (4th on team) 37% (4th on team) Run Support/GS 3.5 5.9 7.8 Team winning % 54% 83% 74% Strange the team won more with ERod last year, despite scoring 2 more runs for him this year!

  16. I seriously doubt the WC is decided in the last 4-5 games. CLE will drop out and trade assets. TEX has surprised, but I think they will fade. OAK is hard to predict, but I think we beat them easily. I have not given up on catching the Yanks, but they sure put the beat down on us last time.
  17. It's already a good fight for the #2 WC, and we are just 2.5 from WC #1. We're right in the thick of it. Yes, we need to win at a better rate than the first 91 games, and I think we will. Nice start to the home stretch!
  18. Price: check. ERod: check. Sale & Porcello: box open for checking. 5th starter: Johnson Rehabbing (Last 2 starts: 3 IP/ 1 ER and 5 IP/ 1 ER), Velazquez or trade target?
