Garcia and Sims have a long way to go to lose the "bomb" label, but yes...

True, and he was at .821 on Sept 4th. It took a real bad end of the season to get to .783. .525 in last 71 PAs. I think keeping him at DH FT was a great idea. Innings in LF: 713 in 2023 1 in 2024.

You get the game ball, Thunder!
-
I thought the same exact thing, but felt it was necessary. Huge game from Bello, who now has a very nice 7 game stretch. Yoshida has really looked like he belongs in MLB. Maybe, it was just about adjusting to the new culture and having his family with him, now. We need a win, tomorrow.
-
Yoshida up to .805, now. MLB OPS Leaders since June 24th (not counting today) 1.294 Judge 1.268 Witt 1.230 Vlad 1.143 Rooker 1.139 Soto 1.133 Marte 1.080 Alvarez 1.079 Devers 14. Yoshida .931 27. Duran .884 66. Rafaela .768

Devers: .970 OPS career best (.916 in '19) .378 OBP career best (.361 in '19) .592 SLG career best (.555 in '19) .297 BA second best (.311 in '19) 27 HRs (T 4th best, but on pace for 2nd or 3rd best) 77 RBI (5th best, but should end up with 4th best) Not bad after his "slow start."

Let's put up a crooked number, here!
-
So, Sims must be good.
-
Rich Hill will start for Woo on Tuesday. Slaten threw another pen session, yesterday and will throw again on the 19th. If all goes well, he will rehab for a bit. I'm thinking, maybe end of August? Hendriks will pitch, tomorrow with Woo. He's expected to make 6-8 rehab appearances before joining the Sox. (Maybe Sept 1st?) No updates on Booser. AUG 12th update on Story: "The chances of Story coming back this season have gone from slim to realistic."
-
With GRE, even longer... GRE: 4 runs in 4 games
-
O'Neill, too. This team has had so many players step it up, at the plate.
-
Nate just gave up the lead to MIN. They scored 3 in the 8th to go up 4-2.
-
Woo won by shutout: B Keller: 6 IP, 4H, 1BB, 4K Weissert & Joely closed it out (3IP, 1H, 0BB, 3K) Anthony has struggled in AAA (.369 OPS.) Meidroth 2-3 w BB Grissom 1-3 Teel 1-4 (.277 OPS) POR won 10-2 Wikelman 4IP, 2H, 0ER, 1BB, 4K Gh Garcia 2-5 w HR Campbell 2-5 w 2B Castro 2-5 and Sikes 3-5 w HR GRE is up 5-1 with Mullins 5IP, 4H, 1ER, 4BB, 4K SAL is up 2-0 with Duffy 5IP, 2H, 0ER, 1BB, 9Ks! Carlson: 3 IP, 2H, 0ER, 0BB, 5K
-
The only real question might have been Gio vs Imanaga or Gio vs Lugo. It was never going to be 2 of the 3. If we keep adding just one SP'er, we aren't going anywhere.
-
He has options. Smith needed to stay on the 26 not the 40. I do think Dalbec gets the axe, this winter.
-
Yes, I almost mentioned that.
-
KC is romping CIN 11-0. They are not easing up, at all. DET 4 hit shutout the Yanks and Rodon. The top 6 batters in the Yankee line-up went 1 for 21 with 3BB and 7 Ks.
-
I agree, and maybe we can say they got lucky by hitting on Lugo and Wacha, but they did sign a few pitchers- not just the two starters. I will say, I do think Brez made a nice attempt at improving the pen, over the winter, but like Gio and the Sale trade, he swung and missed, too often. Getting Slaten was a steal. Too bad he got hurt. I Campbell looked like a decent addition, as did Weissert. Criswell was a stab in the dark, but he has done okay as a SP and RP. Booser worked out okay. The Garcia & Sims trades have bombed.
-
Yes, I think most would have been happy with more action than Gio (minus Sale.) I did forget about Uwasawa. We actually added Criswell, Anderson and Uwasawa as minor league depth. Murphy was an option, too, before he was lost for the season.
-
I knew it would never happen. I had serious doubts we'd add 2 solid SP'ers. I'm not thinking we'll add 2-3 this winter, either, but I hope we add 3-4.
-
I wrote this back on Sept 1st in response to a post about moving Houck and Whitlock into set up/long men roles... I wouldn't mind us having 4 guys in that role: Houck Whitlock Pivetta Crawford Set-up: Martin Winckowski Schreiber Closer: Jansen (No way this ever happens. We'd need to add 4 SP'ers or 3 and hope for a Sale miracle.)
-
The pen is killing us. The rotation ha shown some signs of rebounding, except for Crawford. Houck 2.13 ERA last 2 starts 4.04 last 6 starts (not great but better than the 5.19 in his previous 5 starts) Bello 3.18 last 3 starts 3.93 last 6 starts (5.40 ERA over first 16 GS) Pivetta 4.41 last 3 starts (6.46 previous 3 GS) Crawford: 9.75 last 5 GS (1.95 the 5 GS before these 5)
-
I totally agree on this. I was the guy saying we should sign 3 solid SP'ers and wanted to have Whitlock, and 2 from Houck, Crawford and Pivetta start the year in the pen. 1. FA 2. Gio 3. FA 4. Bello 5. FA 6. Pivetta 7. Crawford 8. Houck 9. Whitlock 10. Wink, Murphy, Criswell
