    Just 2 down from the WC and 2.5 behind TB for the #1 WC slot. It's been a roller coaster season.

    Walden's magic has run its course.

    We got Eovaldi for Beeks, last summer. Although Beeks has done well, nobody had him ranked higher than some scrubs we have on the farm right now.

    Talk about finding new ways to lose.
  5. moonslav59
    The Sox have certainly not played like champions this year, so I can understand not thinking this is going to end well, but we have a strong team on paper and a lot of games left to find a groove and ride it to back-to-back paradise.

    I was just jivin' ya. I understood what you meant.

    Harco Mernandez?
  8. moonslav59
    He does hit lefties about the same as righties in his small ML sample sizes.
  9. moonslav59
    Why not address the fact that we need pitching, especially since we have a top 5 offense?
  10. moonslav59
    Cora certainly has a thing with Nunez. Holt or Hernandez can be hot as hell, but Nunez will start the next game. 2019 Innings at 2B 256 Chavis 186 Nunez 184 Holt 84 Marco 79 Others GS'd at 2B: 29 Chavis 22 Holt 19 Nunez 8 Marco 4 Lin 4 Pedey 1 Vaz 2018 Inning 627 Nunez 445 Holt 298 Kinsler 30 Phillps, 27 Pedey 23 Lin, 8 Others GS'd 70 Nunez 44 Holt 31Kinsler 8 Others 2018-2019 OPS .894 Hernandez (42 PAs) .769 B Holt (478) .649 Nunez (665) .604 Kinsler (143) UZR/150 5.6 Marco (-1 DRS) 5.5 Holt (-1 DRS) 3.8 Lin (-1 DRS) 2.0 Chavis (0 DRS) -3.7 Nunez (-17 DRS) The numbers DO NOT support playing Nunez more than Holt. The sample size is too small on Marco, but I'd play him more to see if he is for real. It's not like Nunez has done anything to justify playing more.

    Last 11 games: SP'ers: 6.33 ERA (132 ERA-) 54 IP (4.9 IP/gm) 1.63 WHIP RP'ers: 8.20 ERA 45 IP (4.1 IP/gm) 1.93 WHIP Team: 7.18 ERA 1.77 WHIP

    lol!
  13. moonslav59
    The optimist would look at how horribly we've played and the fact that we are still right in the thick of the WC race as a good thing by assuming we cannot keep finding ways to lose forever. We've gotten the worst out of our system- blue skies ahead!
  14. moonslav59
    As bad as things are, losing a starter over the winter may be addition by subtraction, especially since Porcello frees up $20M on the budget. BTW, Price is doing better than 2018, so it is not "all our starters," but your point is still well taken. ERod is going longer into games, but is far from the effectiveness he showed last year when the team went 19-4 in his starts.
  15. moonslav59
    I hear you loud and clear, danny, but this is still the greatest game on earth. Maybe it can be expected from a society who's President, on our day of Independence, praised our Revolutionary Army for taking over the airports from the British! No lie! Direct quote: “...Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory...”
  16. moonslav59
    Price has certainly been our most consistent pitcher. The only real black marks against him are the 2 starts he didn't make it out of the second inning and maybe his first two starts of the year, when he let up 4 ERs in 6 IP both games. He's gone 7 IP just once. 6.1 IP once. 6.0 IP 8 times 6 or more 10 total out of 15 starts. On the bright side, he's only gone less than 5 IP those 2 games mentioned above.

    We need pitching. Here are some of our recent offense numbers: Devers: 1.660 last 8 games 1.283 last 19 games 1.073 last 38 games JBJ: 1.033 last 10 games 1.001 last 40 games Vaz: 1.444 last 4 games .985 last 17 games .877 last 28 games Chavis: 1.128 last 5 games .847 last 24 games Marco: 1.073 last 9 games .894 all season (17 games) Holt: .867 last 15 games .891 last 23 games JD: 1.315 last 6 games .974 last 25 games & last 39 games .917 all season Bogey: .995 last 18 games .914 all season Betts: .879 last 15 games .861 last 22 games .880 last 66 games Even Nunez is at .713 his last 14 games, and Leon is at .750 his last 3 games. The best I could come up with for Beni: Beni: .735 last 14 games .773 last 22 games .780 last 46 games .794 last 67 games We have 9 guys over .812 in the last 4 weeks and Beni at .730. We have 5 guys over .939 the last 14 days and 7 over .821. We have 5 guys over 1.128 in the last 7 days and 6 over .909.
  19. moonslav59
    No, I meant our 5th starter is really our 9th pen arm. If you count Velazquez as the #5, then we can add a RP'er and keep 8 in the pen with Walden, Taylor and Johnson being in AAA, the IL or traded (Johnson is out of options).
  20. moonslav59
    Workman has been pretty consistent, too, but Price has been the man.
  21. moonslav59
    ...and if they told you Devers was having a break out year, Vaz & Chavis are hitting over .800 and Bogey is on pace for a career year, you'd be even more shocked.
  22. moonslav59
    I know there is not much difference between AA & AAA, but I'd like to see Dalbec in AAA after the AS break. Maybe even move Casas up a notch, but I trust the Sox to know what is best.
  23. moonslav59
    Okay, so that makes 14-17 teams.
  24. moonslav59
    So, you'd like to see the Sox not contend or win enough in the next 3 weeks to become strong a contender?
  25. moonslav59
    Sale has been bad his first 5 starts of the year and his last 3 (2 of the 3 were with Leon). Last 3 games: Leon Last 2 games) 11 IP 13 H 3 BB 18 K 8 ER Vaz (last game) 5.2 IP 9 H 2 BB 5 K 5 ER He's been bad with both, but still worse with Vaz in every category listed.
