I think Barnes is our closer. Cora is just using him, when he feels the game is more on the line and not as a traditional 9th inning closer.
-
With more sellers at the deadline than ever before, I'd expect the price to drop for players nearing free agency or moderate to high-priced players.

Our bottom 3 guys got 3 of our 5 hits tonight and we have these numbers over the last ___ days: Last 30 9 guys over .796 and 8 over .810, including JBJ at .825 and Vaz at .970. Last 14 8 guys over .725, including JBJ at 1.019 (before tonight's 2-3 game) and Vaz at .725. At this point in the season, line-up depth is about the last of our worries. Even Leon is at .737 the last 4 weeks. Only our back-up 2Bman are struggling at the plate, right now. May numbers, not counting tonight: Beni .796 Betts .842 Devers 1.012 JDM .923 Bogey .970 Moreland .928/Pearce .676 (but .974 last 14 days) Chavis .810 Vaz .970 JBJ .825

We have to hope Eovaldi solves number 1. We don't have the resources to solve #3 and #1. #3 is more vital. Our bottom of the order is hitting very well, now. JBJ and Vaz are 2 of our hottest hitters. Not having a closer and maybe another solid set-up guy are our biggest needs.

I can see you guys winning 108, if you ever get healthy. I'm thinking we win 91-94, but it could be more. We can't wait much longer to turn on the after burners.

Stuck in Clownsville.

I'm still very optimistic about the Sox. I think we will go on a long hot streak and turn people's opinions around. Of course, I could be wrong, but I'm still a firm believer.

The sky is falling!

We could sure use him ASAP!

In ther context of the days when players routinely played 158-162 games, unless they were hurt, getting 2-4 days off in the first 3rd of a season is a bit beyond that tradition. (I'm not complaining. I want us rested for the playoffs and am 99% sure we make the playoffs.)
-
I don't disagree, but I don't see much else on the 40 man roster that I have more faith in than Brasier and Weber (before the last 2 days).

YES! Going up 2-0 is essential. Siakam is a beast! -

Ignore the bozo clown. Maybe he'll just go away.

That's why he's on my ignore list of one.

I can see both sides of the debate, but I think they had more faith in the pen and having $4-6M to beef it up over the summer than going with Johnson, Velazquez and Weber as our 5th starter. You're right, it was no slam dunk. Once could argue the same about Pearce, but at least he's had 3-4 years of great success against lefties and had done pretty good against righties over the last couple years. With Moreland always getting hurt, I can see why we signed him, too. BTW, we had more choices than Kimbrel or Eovaldi (and Pearce.)
-
I think we have a real good shot, but maybe not as faves, at this point.
-
It's like arguing with a fence post.
-
As bad as we've been playing, we are currently tied for the last wild card slot with Oakland. I guess, if you think our 29-27 record is what we will continue to be, then sure, we likely won't make it, but there's no way in hell I believe we will play .518 ball the rest of the way.
-
They are playing well, now, but I like our chances much much more.
-
The schedule is the only thing that may make it difficult, but I think we beat them by 5+ games and will probably pass TB, too. The hole we dug may be too deep to catch the Yanks for the division, but, if we are healthy, I like our chances come playoff time. I don't think the odds are as good as last year's odds, but we will be tough to beat.
-
I couldn't disagree more. Teams go through phases. There's no way we end up with just 86 wins, unless the injury bug bites us hard.

I'm with you, but the powers to be will never allow the Warriors to lose- (not like they would without the league's help). -
We'll see how you feel after we see the reversion of the reversion.

The chances were pretty good one of Thornburg or Smith would step up to fill Kimbrel's role, but sadly, no.
