    Good one! My guess is, as soon as we fall behind 3-0 in a game, we'll here it.
  4. moonslav59
    No Eovaldi & Brasier for over half the season, as well.
  5. moonslav59
    Great points. I'm with you 100%. Think of how many times some wrote us off last year during a rough patch. Have faith, my fellow Sox fans! Back-to Back!!

    What if we stuck with a 6 man rotation all year long and used the starter as the closer on their throwing day between starts? Would the less starts make up for the extra hard throwing when closing? Is the risk too great, they will "overthrow" when closing and get hurt? (I'm against the idea.)
  7. moonslav59
    I got your point. We may only need one starter next year (to replace Porcello), so there is still time.

    Me, too, but I thing the others are much longer shots. ML Ready or near ML ready: (age) 22 D Hernandez 24 Shawaryn 26 Shepherd 22 Reyes 1-2 years away 22 Houck 21 Scherff 2-3+ years away: 19 Mata 20 Groome

    IMO, he's got a long way to go to pass Vaz as our #1 catcher.

    "Cool Stats" from MLB.com... Red Sox: Both Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez hit exactly 26.7 percent of their batted balls last season at least 95 mph (the threshold for hard contact) and in the launch angle “sweet spot” between 8 and 32 degrees. Only the Cardinals’ Matt Carpenter made this type of quality contact at a higher rate. Yankees: Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge have combined to produce each of the 13 hardest-hit home runs since Statcast began tracking in 2015. Stanton set a new Statcast record last Aug. 9 by walloping a homer with an exit velocity of 121.7 mph -- breaking Judge’s mark of 121.1 mph set the previous June.

    I explained that I was used to doing team record in starts and kinda went inbetween team record & actual record. I admitted my mistake.
  12. moonslav59
    Our best hope seems to be DHernandez.
  13. moonslav59
    Pedey & Nunez's improved health could really lengthen our line-up. Having Pearce all year should, too. A consistent JBJ would help. No Leon has to help with line-up balance. We had a pretty balanced attack last year. OPS by... Slot BOS NYY HOU 1) 1.028 .786 .742 (Big gaps here) 2) .759 .862 .903 (Big gap here) 3) .871 .719 .857 (Yanks were putrid, here.) 4) .968 .957 .691 (Astros putrid, here.) 5) .796 .775 .772 (Pretty close) 6) .684 .809 .755 (Sox putrid here.) 7) .667 .687 .684 (Pretty close) 8) .607 .714 .677 (Sox putrid here.) 9) .704 .702 .681 (Very close)

    I and others thought my projections were optimistic!
  15. moonslav59
    At least Jacko will answer your questions and listen to reason.
  16. moonslav59
    Clemens deserved a pounding that night (and much of his life).
  17. moonslav59
    It sure should be, especially if Cora uses this as a common strategy all or most of the year.
  18. moonslav59
    soxprospects.com projects this opening day roster; Rotation LH Chris Sale RH Nathan Eovaldi RH Rick Porcello LH David Price LH Eduardo Rodriguez LH Brian Johnson Bullpen RH Matt Barnes RH Ryan Brasier RH Heath Hembree RH Brandon Workman RH Tyler Thornburg RH Hector Velazquez RH Colten Brewer Lineup C Christian Vazquez 1B Mitch Moreland 2B Brock Holt 3B Rafael Devers SS Xander Bogaerts LF Andrew Benintendi CF Jackie Bradley RF Mookie Betts DH JD Martinez Bench C Blake Swihart 1B Sam Travis IF Eduardo Nunez IL: Pedey, Pearce & M Hernandez

    I always thought lowly of Piazza after that- for not going after Roger. Clemens is such a dick. He clearly yelled to the ump, "I thought it was the ball!" The lamest excuse ever given in the history of mankind.
  20. moonslav59
    Exactly, unlike Clemens throwing a broken bat at a player (Piazza), then telling the ump, "I thought it was the ball!". ' What? Did he think he was playing kickball, where you can throw the ball at the runner?
  21. moonslav59
    I guess keeping all 3 was worth $2.4M. Catchers always get hurt. I do think we have a nice cushion already for a July trade. $2.4M more might be needed, but I like still having Leon in the system. As much as I have been tough on Swihart, I hope he proves himself and finally shows us that his potential becomes helpful reality. Vaz will likely catch Sale, Price and either Eovaldi or Porcello (or both). My guess is Swihart catches ERod and maybe some or most of the starts by Porcello or Eovaldi. Maybe a 70-30 split.
  22. moonslav59
    This is different from what others are saying. If you are right, then I wonder why we decided to pay him $2.4M to play in AAA and be insurance. That $2.4M added to what we have could have made a big difference in July.
  23. moonslav59
    It's hopeless trying to debate.
  24. moonslav59
    If he was just an average defender, he'd be over 4.
  25. moonslav59
    My point was never about "career". It was about a specific 6-7 year stretch. Stop trying to move the goal posts.
