    Nope: we need one solid RP'er without question. I'd look for a Cashner-type deal but for a RP'er. My own opinion is that I'd get a second RP'er, too... maybe a lefty. (I'd trade Johnson, who is out of options, but I guess we may go with him in the pen, soon.)

    Marco went 3-4 with a 2B. Owings is red hot (2-4 with 9th HR B Johnson 4 IP 0 ER 3 H 5BB AA Dalbec hit his 20th. Jack says he's slumping at .820+ this month. Kent 6 IP 1 ER 6H 3BB A Scherff 6IP 2 ER 9H 2BB Corcino 3-4 (9th HR and 4 rbi) Castellanos 2-5

    Yee-HAW!

    I've been saying all along we should trade for 2 solid (not costly) RP'ers no matter how well Eovaldi is doing.
  5. moonslav59
    I totally agree, but using your measuring stick for this game, they have done better than the starters game by game with game ERA.
  6. moonslav59
    sell pearce !
  7. moonslav59
    Many more games than not, our pen had a better game ERA than the starter.
  8. moonslav59
    Barnes has sucked this year. Walden was good early. It's Workman and ..... (Eovaldi?)
  9. moonslav59
    He was pitching well before the injury. I'm cutting him a little slack, but not for much longer.
  10. moonslav59
    Yup!
  11. moonslav59
    That makes up for the Beni blunder.
  12. moonslav59
    Wow! We got a call!
  13. 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.
  14. moonslav59
    The guy in the restroom, though, has no clue.
  15. 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.)
  16. moonslav59
    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)
  17. moonslav59
    That's the type of deal I see us making... maybe 2 like this.
  18. 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.)
  19. 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.
  20. moonslav59
    I had thought (hoped) he'd replacePorcello in the rotation, but the pen may be a better fit.
  21. 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.
  22. moonslav59
    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.
  23. 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.
  24. moonslav59
    It mattered more but still had flaws. Run support is a big part of W-L's.
  25. 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.
