    ...and, we're one down (to Texas) in the WC at this point in time. I doubt we continue at a 34-31 pace, but I've been saying that for a month or more, so who knows.

    Compared to last year, catcher and 3B have shown huge gains. I had suggested those two positions plus 1B might offset the expected declines from Betts and JD, but 1B has been an issue, this year- too many injuries, mainly. Bogey has been a beast. 2B remains an issue. CF is improving, but started out in the gutter. Our pitching has done great since the first 2-3 weeks. Hopefully, it continues and gets a boost from Eovaldi & maybe Johnson.

    Snell has looked human his last 5 starts. The Rays are 2-3. He's 0-2 3.77 with 27 H and 10 BB in 28.2 IP. Last 2 starts: 0-1 6.87 (13 H and 4 BB in 10.1 IP)

    ...and we're still resting stars left and right. Our top 2 first basemen are out, and Chavis is trying his best to adjust to high heat.
  7. moonslav59
    2018 might prove to be an outlier, but expecting .900+ this year and next should not be unrealistic. He went 2-7 with a BB and a 2B today. Maybe he starts his hot streak real soon.
  8. moonslav59
    We gained on the Yanks.
  9. moonslav59
    It's an easily understood number and is better than OBP or SLG alone. wRC+ and OBA are better, but those metrics are not well known. I'd like to see this become more popular: OBP x 3 + SLG x 2/ 5
  10. moonslav59
    Yes, and with Nunez & Holt and now Marco looking good, Chavis will likely stay at 1B at least until Moreland or Pearce return.
  11. moonslav59
    My point was, expecting more 2B depth, especially with our budget stretched out and higher needs elsewhere was unrealistic. I think our 2B position was perhaps our deepest of all. (You forgot Marco.)
  12. moonslav59
    Some recent Sox K/BB ratios: Sale: 78:9 in last 47.1 IP (Take away his one 5 BB game and it's 68:4) Price: 27:4 in last 24 IP Porcello: 9:1 in last 10.2 IP ERod: 27:4 in last 22.2 IP (12:1 in last 11.2)
  13. moonslav59
    14 Ks 2 BBs We've been killing the K/BB ratio lately.
  14. moonslav59
    Not specifically, no, but it is included. It's not like it's an all important number in an of itself.
  15. moonslav59
    Forget the Killer B's, the Killer W's have been great! Walden, Workman & Whembree
  16. moonslav59
    Right, so we look even better, especially if you believe Miley's numbers are not sustainable.
  17. moonslav59
    I agree. BTW, JBJ has a +0.5 fWAR since April 20th. Surprisingly, he's at +0.1 since April 6th.
  18. moonslav59
    I think he's been plus since April 20th.
  19. moonslav59
    Great players can slump without a major reason (like an injury). Let's give him time. He may be back over .900, soon.
  20. moonslav59
    Yes, and if any prospects are traded, it should be for a solid pen arm or better SP'er depth... not an OF'er.
  21. moonslav59
    True, but not many were hitting over 1.000 over their most recent 18+ games or .800 over their last 35 games when they got benched.
  22. moonslav59
    No, but it includes BB & HBP.
  23. moonslav59
    2018-2019 Starting Pitchers (153 with 100+ IP) ERA- 4. Sale 59 18. Price 75 61. ERod 91 67. Eovaldi 95 76. Porcello 98 If you go by every 30 starters as the cut of for ranking 1-2-3-4-5 starters, we have... 2 number 1's (Sale & Price) The best #3 (ERod at #61) 2 other solid #3's (Porcello & Eovaldi) The Astros have: 5. Verlander 12. Miley 17. Cole 70. McCullers The Yanks have: 23. Severino 39. Sabathia 50. Paxton 54. Happ 121. German
  24. moonslav59
    If you look at the state of MLB starters, Porcello and ERod are both better than most 3rd starters in MLB, so I guess it's all about perspective.
  25. moonslav59
    He will...in the playoffs.
