    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.
  4. 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.

    I thought he must be 38-39, but he's 36.5. Gotta be better than Sabol.

    Storytime a thriller, today!

    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.
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.

    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)
  15. moonslav59
    That's basically it in a nutshell. Launch angle of bat matters, too.
  16. moonslav59
    You cant hit a tater, if you don't swing.
  17. 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
  18. moonslav59
    That seems to be the case with most teams. Throw out our worst two games, and what do our stats look like? Granted, throwing out the best and worst two, would show worse numbers, than where we are now.
  19. moonslav59
    They shouldnt even try on bad pitches. It hurts their cred and make the ump think you do not respect the ump.
  20. moonslav59
    If Story has 500+ PAs and a .720+ OPS, I'll be happy. (Assuming no 20 throwing errors)
  21. moonslav59
    Bad game, but Houck looked okay.
  22. moonslav59
    Woo split their two games, both decided by 1 run. 1-6 Anthony 2BB 1-7 BB Mayer 3-7 Grissom HR 2-3 Hickey HR Gm 1: Drohan 3.2, 3H, 1ER, 4BB, 8K (Adames let up 3 ER/Guerrero got the loss) Gm2: Gio 3.1, 3H, 1ER, 3BB, 3K (64 pitches) POR lost 4-1, as Wehunt was unimpressive. Jh Garcia 1-3 w BB (.626) GRE won 5-4 behind Kirwin (4, 3, 1, 2, 1) We got 5 hits and 6 BBs. SAL won 6-2 and are not 4-1. Brooks pitched 5 shutout innings (1 hit, 2BB, 4K) Arias 2-5 (1.250) Anderson 2-3 w 2BB (1.246) Asencio 2-4 (1.250) & Encarnacion 1-4 (1.149)
  23. moonslav59
    I really don't mind lots of K's as long as the BBs and hits ar in the plus category. Our 10% BB rate is 9th in MLB (4th in AL) Our .257 BA is T7th w TOR (T2nd in the AL) Our .727 OPS is 7th (3rd AL) Our ISO is 15th We are tied for 2nd in BAbip, so maybe we have been "lucky." (2nd in hard hit%, so maybe not.) I think our offense will be fine. I think our defense will end up middle of the pack. Our pen might come back down to earth. Our rotation need to be top 6-8, IMO, and that seems about like they should be.
  24. moonslav59
    You really need to ask?
  25. moonslav59
    Fried pitched a gem for the Yanks. 7 IP, 5H, 0ER, 0BB, 11Ks Flaherty went 5.1 for DET w 0 ER, but DET lost 4-3. D Williams made it close by allowing 3 ERS in the 9th.
