    It's not the end of the world, if we lose to these guys, but here is a chance to gain some ground.

    I'm fine keeping as is. It seems easier to locate, to me. We no longer have to worry about the thread being started, or not, and starting the thread early is a big plus.
  3. moonslav59
    I'd do this deal and maybe even add a far away prospect or give a little cash.
  4. moonslav59
    Would this be "bold enough?" 2B Story SS Mayer CF Campbell (Strange how #1 Anthony might be the last one in.)
  5. moonslav59
    It might have taken 6 days to transport him to the trial in Salem, MA.

    1IP 1H 0ER 0BB 3Ks Nice start.
  7. moonslav59
    The way he throws, you'd have thought he would have.
  8. moonslav59
    They must like Grandal a little more, but then that begs the question on why not sign him earlier? I guess now they still have Zavala as emergency non 40 man depth, too.

    The ALE is pretty bunched up... 7-5 NYY 8-6 TOR 7-7 BOS 5-7 TBR 5-8 BAL In the AL, all but the CWS are between 9-4 (TEX) and 4-9 (MIN.) Most surprising starts in MLB: 2-9 ATL 8-4 LAA

    Hendriks pitched the first at WOO. 3Ks, 1 Hit and 0 BBs. Fulmer went 4 IP, 3H, 2ER, 3BB and 5Ks. They are down 2-0 in the 7th. POR is up 11-3 in the 5th with 10 Hits and 3 BB. GRE is up 3-0, but the game is delayed in the 4th. Dean has not allowed a hit but walked 4. Bleis has 3 rbi. SAL is up 3-0 through 4. Clarke has not allowed a baserunner.

    I kinda liked the personal touch, and the streak thing, but this is fine for me. I think it's easier, this way, and there are advantages to this way. I'd vote, keep it going like this. I like the earlier start for the thread and the dependability.
  12. moonslav59
    Yes, but his OBP (.337) was better than this year, although below his career .350. My point was, I don't mind high K rates, if the OBP is decent. It's not this year, so criticism about this year's numbers is okay with me. Criticism is okay about his past, too, but I'll argue it was fine, when his OBP was .337 or better with 25 bombs per 500-550.
  13. moonslav59
    I thought he must be 38-39, but he's 36.5. Gotta be better than Sabol.

    Storytime a thriller, today!
  15. moonslav59
    I found this... Bello (shoulder) will make a third rehab start Friday for Triple-A Worcester, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Bello threw 56 pitches over 3.1 innings for Worcester over the weekend and will look to increase his workload Friday. The Red Sox will evaluate the right-hander following the rehab start, but manager Alex Cora suggested that Bello could require another outing in the minors after that before being ready to return from the 15-day injured list. Bello has been pitching on a four-day rest schedule between starts, so a fourth rehab outing would put him on track to come off the IL as soon as April 21.

    It was nice to see Buehler look good. Too bad Devers & Bregman could not get the big hit in the 8th. It took some luck to tie it up.
  17. moonslav59
    He wasn't too bad for an 8 game stretch after that bad start on 6/24/24, except for the K-BB%. 45 IP, 45 Hits, 21 BB- 30Ks 3.80 ERA You point is well taken: he has not been same since. 4.42 ERA/ 4.97 FIP/ 4.41 xFIP 0.3 fWAR in his last 17 starts
  18. moonslav59
    I was speaking to the points about his history of high K rates being an issue. His OBP sucks, this year. I have no issues discussing he shortcomings, this year in a small sample size.
  19. moonslav59
    I like Kutter, too, but he might be the last guy back, except for Sandoval. I will also add that Sandoval has a longer history of pitching very well than Kutter. Gio does, too, but it seems to long ago I'm not sure it matters enough to think he may be able to do it again. Sandoval started 27 and 28 games in '22 and '23. He had a 3.47 ERA from when he became a SP'er in 2021 until the end of 2023. That was not as long ago as Gio's stretch of decent pitching. Who knows if Gio or Sandoval can regain what they once had, and maybe Crawford and Bello already had their best moments in the sun, but having 4 of these guys coming back should produce 1-2 good ones.
  20. moonslav59
    Casas has a career .350 OBP, which blows away many of these other high K players. I will say, I think we should better choose the who to be critical about high K rates.
  21. moonslav59
    1. Duran 2. Devers 3. Bregman 4. Casas 5. Story 6. Campbell 7. Abreu 8. Rafaela 9. Narvaez How long will Cora stick with this line-up, if it keeps struggling? Possible tweaks? 2. Abreu and 4. Devers 2. or 5. Campbell 2. Bregman 3. Abreu and 4. Devers 4. Abreu, 5. Campbell (CF), 6. Casas, 7. Story, 8. DHam/Romy or Mayer(2B) My guess is, at least a week more.
  22. moonslav59
    Some early team splits: .731 v RHPs (.754 when RH'er starts) .713 v LHPs (.574 when LH'er starts) .785 H/ .674 A .927 first pitch .746 RISP (.742 w 2 outs) & .864 Men On Base .548 Late & Close (.481 High Leverage)
  23. moonslav59
    That's basically it in a nutshell. Launch angle of bat matters, too.
  24. moonslav59
    You cant hit a tater, if you don't swing.
  25. moonslav59
    While consistency is a virtue and likely wins more games than streaky bats, but I'm not so sure it makes a big difference. We've scored more than 4 runs 6 times (5-1) We've scored 4 runs 0 times (0-0) We've score under 4 runs 7 times (1-6) Another view: 1-5 runs scored: 3-7 6-18 runs: 3-0
