I'm thinking you're probably right. ERod & Wright aren't ready. Had we kept Pom in the rotation for 1-2 more starts, we could have pitched Sale in the DH'er and gone with Pom Sunday. FRI: Eovaldi Sat1: Price Sat2: Velazquez or Haley from AAA SUN: Sale MON: Johnson TUE: Porcello WED: Eovaldi THU: Price FRI: Sale SAT: Johnson SUN: Porcello Mon; OFF 10 games Day off 11 games Day off 2 games Day off 6 games Day off 9 games Day off 3 games End of season

I wasn't very specific, but I'm just talking balls and strikes. I guess the calls at 1B could go robot, but that's not a major issue with me. I think we'd still have an ump behind home plate to make calls at home and judge foul tips, catcher interference and other things I haven't thought of. Having a computer call balls and strikes would not change the game that much, IMO. This is not a hot topic to me, but that's my opinion.
-
It bothers me that teams and pitchers study umpire tendencies and have to change their approach accordingly. It is just not right and never has been. It's been accepted as "part of the game,: but it doesn't have to be.

Nobody, now. I was talking about him regaining his old self. Then, hed be better than a few.

Should we be on the waiver wire looking for a backup catcher?

Yes, and his name is Thornburg. He has massive reverse splits that rival any lefty vs lefty: Career: .542 vs LHBs .737 vs RHBs -
We did do very well to start the season at 17-2 and now this run... No, I don't think we've seen any Sox team look this good.
-
I'm not all that concerned about the "edges". Just getting it close to exact and making it consistent will level the playing field for all pitchers, teams, fans and managers.
-
I guess I just don't think the umps add all that much to the "people" part of the game. Sure, there are some colorful ones, and watching a manager argue with an ump can be entertaining, but I can do without it.
-
We are bound to have a rough patch or two left in us. Let's hope we keep them short and before October.
-
Sheff goes another 5 scoreless. That brings his total up to 107IP. Wow, 107 scoreless innings. He should be in the bigs! (LOL)
-
It's one game. Nothing is wrong.
-
I'm pretty old, too, but I guess, somehow, I learned to embrace change (or at least not fear it). One job a GM has always had is to assign some sort of value to each of his players and to those he's thinking of acquiring.
-
Some metrics proved he sucked, and he blamed it on them not his own diminished and putrid skills.
-
Exactly. It doesn't matter if the umps are humans or robots, it's all about the players.
-
He later got ejected.

Dalbec is really strutting his stuff. Chavis is working on building his trade stock. The Yanks should want him.

Our likely playoff schedule: 4 days off Game 1 Game 2 Off Game 3 Game 4 Off Game 5 If we're down 2-1, we will likely go with the game 1 starter (Sale) on 3 days rest. If we're up 2-1, we'll likely go with our 4th starter. To me, that will likely be Eovaldi or ERod (not Price).
-
Our last game of the season is September 30th. The AL wildcard game is October 3rd. The first game of the ALDS with the play-in winner is October are 5th. We could start Sale Sept 30 (not that we should) and he'd still be fresh for game 1, as long as we aren't in the WC game.
-
True, but being a RP'er brings a different approach. Maybe it will help. We all know he needs to do better to hold any job in the pen or anywhere else. I might be the last guy holding out hope he can turn things around in time to help us this year, but he better start real soon, or else he'll have nobody left holding any hope.
-
Werth sucks. He's bringing down the game.
-
If our starters in in a groove to finish the season, I might say 1-2. If our pen guys are struggling, maybe it makes the choices easier. A lot can and will happen before game 1.
-
You know, Eric, the guy who lives in a van down by the river.
-
...even if he was getting better every year.
-
True. Hindsight does show he used in NY, while with Manny, it's just conjecture.
-
No, they were employed dishwashers when hired.
