    ...and on the rise.

    I seriously doubt Sox management would have given up on Swihart's catcher development, if they really fely he showed any signs of improvement to the point of projecting to decency on defense behind the plate. I'm not saying team managements never make mistakes, and maybe this was one of them, but Swihart has been given chances. He's clung to a roster spot this year out of management giving him yet another chance to re-invent himself. Had he showed growth, he'd have been kept at catcher. It's not like Leon and Vaz are that great that anyone would say a promising catcher was blocked.

    Every player slumps. Only a few established players get DFA'd over a 17-18 game slump. HRam was bound to have a slump at some point this year. DD pounced at the first one for obvious reasons.
  4. moonslav59
    Yes, it would have been harder to DFA him or limit his PAs had he not went cold, but he was only cold for 18 games...18 games he still hit 3 HRs in. Not many players who led their team in RBIs for a while get DFA'd over 18 games. It was always about the $22M and looking for any excuse to get out of it.
  5. moonslav59
    LOL. I'm waiting for his 3 HRs in 2 games, then we'll hear it.

    What about taking 2 of 3 vs your Yanks in April? How were the Angels doing before we swept them? The Braves were like the 2nd best team in the NL when we took 2 of 3 from them. Prediction: we're going to crush the vaunted Astros staff into the stone age.

    Tomorrow,

    So, all we need is for Pom to turn things around and you'll be oh for 3 on your calls for dumping slumping Sox players. I wonder who the next 3 will be.
  9. moonslav59
    Blake finally passed Vaz in OPS, but with so few PAs, he's maybe one oh for 4 away from passing him on the downturn.
  10. moonslav59
    It was all about the $22M for 2019 and our need to pay to keep or replace impending free agents plus some hefty arb raises.

    Big win today. ERod almost got through 7 innings. Looking sharp. JMart doing what we all wished he'd do. JBJ showing his hot streak is for real, Nice to see Swi chip in with 2 hits, too. Beni staying hot. Keep it going guys!

    This is all Passan's opinions. I see no quote from anyone on the Sox. I'm not saying HRam is the perfect person- nobody is. They guy obviously worked hard at getting in shape. You can see his muscle build-up since early in his career. I never noticed any loafing. Maybe you're right. Maybe we'll hear things weeks and months from now. I do think people look at appearances and judge people. I do, too. I didn't mean to imply you are a racist, but I do think some people see dreads or tats and assume the worst- white or black skin.

    I'm still seeing a very long swing. Like I said, I'm not an expert on swing analysis, but I really don't see a shortened swing.
  14. moonslav59
    I love watching this team. I'm super high on our chances to win it all. I think we'll be strong again next year. I do get critical at times, but I'm mostly optimistic. I don't sit around moping about past trades and signings. I may criticize individual moves, but I haven't called for the firing of any GM in decades. I was the last to jump on the fire Valantine band wagon. I was for firing Farrell pretty early, but I didn't harp on his in game moves every second. Sometimes I think some posters think if a person is being critical, they must not enjoy the team, as is. In my case, it's just not true. I've watched every pitch of every game for a decade. I love the Sox, win or lose, but I really love this team and think we're going all the way.
  15. moonslav59
    True, but Guriel is off to a bad start, so maybe HRam could see a little time at 1B, too.
  16. moonslav59
    Remember those Yankee fans yapping about our weak schedule? We've played 31 games vs winning teams. The Yanks have played 25. We've played 24 games vs losing teams. The Yanks have played 25.
  17. moonslav59
    I hope they go 30 innings and wear each other out. I can't wait to see the Sox add a run to Houston's ERA. I got tickets to 3 games. Going with 3 different sets of Astros fans.
  18. moonslav59
    I guess, for some, dreads = antics.
  19. moonslav59
    Yes, he's hitting the ball harder even in his outs.

    Team Catcher OPS .889 Pitt .870 NYY .772 LAD .770 SFG .765 ATL .762 CC .759 HOU .740 TBR .739 LAA .722 DET .704 MIA 12th Place Leon .694 .693 CIN .685 KCR .682 TOR .681 MLB Average .669 AL Average .664 CWS 15rh in MLB (the mean team catcher OPS)
  21. moonslav59
    We now have an "Offensive Catcher".
  22. moonslav59
    Leon is about to pass Devers in OPS. Next, we'll here calls of "Fat Raff" to be DFA'd.
  23. moonslav59
    Certainly, there is a history of good hitters not being platooned despite massive differentials. Here's one... Yaz career .891 vs RHPs .692 vs LHPs
  24. moonslav59
    Maybe Leon will have a better season than 2016. "Fat Sandy" telling Natick to sit the hell down!
  25. moonslav59
    Disappointment in Sam Travis? Lighting a fire? Just adding depth?
