    Story went 0-4 last night with 3Ks. I'm not sure when his rehab time runs out, but he's not ready.
  2. moonslav59
    The ghost of Cora and "scheduled days off?"
  3. moonslav59
    Even the loss of Cora won't keep Story from the 26 and likely the 9.
  4. moonslav59
    Yup! I couldn't even hit good HS pitching. Baseball has always been my favorite sport, because it's so damn hard. I was really good on D and baserunning, but that's not enough to advance. I'm glad Duran is coming around. It's a great time to find your groove- now, just don't lose it!

    I think the Mead trade might be all the offense needs- that and a healthy Anthony, but we can't count on 100% health. That's a losing plan. Our bench has carried this team as much as its best players. While .740 to .760 may not look great, it's 100-150 points better than most team's bench. I'm not sure how we get a big bat without trading a big pitcher or Gonzales plus Primera. I'm not really for that, but give me some names and I might say yes. Do we roll the dice with our current middle infield and trade Arias? (YIKES!) Do we roll with Duran-White-Jollllnes-Campbell-Yoshida in LF/DH (Romy) and trade Anthony? Anybody want Bello to "fix back into a starter?" I ain't trading Tolle or Bennett. I ain't trading Abreu, Rafaela, Contrers or Durbin. While Sogard is the flavor of the month, he's not a big trade piece, and I'd like to keep him around. Monasterio & Seigler were last month's flavor and arent bring back a big bat, even if packaged together with Duran or White or Campbell. Most likely we make a minor trade to boost an everyday player need, and replace Gray with Gray or someone else.

    It seemed their actions did not match their "sayings." IMO, he sucked at SS and was a plus at 2B.
  7. moonslav59
    I don't think they did. They played him at 2B, where he looked fine as much as possible. He played a lot there in 2024, but they ended up moving the GG CF'er to SS, and he led the team in SS innings- not DHam. MIL did end up moving DHam to 3B, so they did learn quick.
  8. moonslav59
    How could they think SS for DHam?
  9. moonslav59
    Why did he try to tweak what was working?
  10. moonslav59
    Duran is not bringing back anything of significant value, but I think we trade him. Maybe he builds value over the next few weeks. We have a bunch of middle infielders, but none have great trade value, except the one we need to keep- Arias. We could trade a pitcher, but we'd then have to sign 1-2 to replace him. Gonzales and Primera are probably our best values, but do we really want to lower our farm value further?

    How about the Sox XBH Leaders: 54 Abreu 51 Rafaela 49 Contreras 36 Duran & 35 Durbin 30 Monasterio in just 273 ABs (Gasper has 13 in just 128 ABs & Sogard has 12 in just 131 ABs & Seigler 16 in 144)
  13. moonslav59
    I would think with OAK gone, SFG would have little support for making Sacramento pay to squeeze their market.
  14. moonslav59
    I think it's safe to say this team is not the same as the April-May and most of June team. I also think that previous team was not as bad as their record indicated, and Pyth supports that position. We were still bad, but not really horrible. It just looked that was to us. Then, we found ways to lose, and it seemed like we deserved to lose. Now, we find new ways to win or overcome our mistakes and win anyway.

    LOL, some might add "or catching."
  18. moonslav59
    More: we were -7 on June 24th. (6 games under Pyth, even then!) We are +104 now, so +111 since June 24th. (Still 6 games under Pyth)

    I'm not saying they won't get it, so be aggressive all you want. Yes: 220K city 1.3M Metro 2.7M combined statistical area. That is big enough to support a MLB team. My point is only that other areas are larger, especially if you go by the number you choose for "combined statistical area." Do that and you have to count San Antonio and Austin together and it's double your 2.7M. That's still not saying I think Texas gets another team. It's just giving some facts. San Antonio's metro area is 2.8M, which is bigger than the combined area you give for SLC. Austin's metro is 2.6M. The combined "metroplex" of the two cities is 5.1M. Charlotte's is 2.8 Metro and 3.5M "combined" If SLC pays more and gets one, great!
  20. moonslav59
    We gained a game on the Rays and Yanks!
  21. moonslav59
    Seems the more we pick on Jarren, the better he does.
  22. moonslav59
    No. My research was Metropolitan areas. You should see the growth here in Texas. I'm from Portland, ME- the biggest "city" in Maine at about 80K, with a "metro area"of about 500K. Suburbs of Houston are these, to name just a few: 120K Sugar Land (my city), 150K Pasadena, 120K Woodlands, 100K Conroe, 90K Baytown, 75K MO City, 50K Galveston, 40K La Porte, 35K Deer Park and dozens more $10-30K large, San Antonio is about 1.6M large with suburbs of 120K New Braunfels, 80K San Marcos, 75K Kyle, 44K Seguin, 43K Schertz, 33K Converse, 21K Universal City SLC has some pretty big suburbs and satellite cities, but's it's not 1.5M in the city- not even close. Thats not to say they dont pay off more $$$ than SA offers.
  23. moonslav59
    10 times better, yes. Not even close. Too bad the trade deadline is past, or Duran's valkue might be at it's highest point it will ever be after tonight.
  24. moonslav59
    Tell me this team is not special.
  25. moonslav59
    Duran DURAN!!!
