    "Worse" than the 2025-2026 Story?
  2. moonslav59
    Thank you for this. I had meant to post his numbers next to Monasterio's, but forgot.

    We are talking about what normally or better indicates W-L records: Runs scored vs Run differential Obviously, we were not as bad as our W-L record indicated or as our runs scored indicated. We came back closer to the mean. The run diff says we should be 65-48, and we are now 62-51. Larger sample size now, and... We are 20th in runs scored. We are 6th in tun differential. We have the 7th best record in MLB. Which stat is closer to W-L indication? On June 24th, we were 29th in runs scored, 16th in run differential and 29th in record, so it looked like runs scored was "the accurate" indicator of who we were, but it turned out to be wrong, when the sample size lengthened.

    Nobody though 30-5, for sure. One June 24th, our run differential was -7, so some felt we were maybe a ner .500 team on paper, but way below in wins. Thinking we might play .500 or better ball for the rest of the season was not an insane reach, but yes, 30-5 was expected by nobody. 20-10 was pushing it. 18-12 was likely best case scenario thinking.

    He's actually looks pretty good on D by the eye test, but the metrics say "meh" at best and "yuck" at worst. at SS -1 DRS (-4 career) -6 OAA (-7 career)
  6. moonslav59
    I disagree. Run differential is the leading indicator of W-L, not just one side of the runs scored vs runs allowed.
  7. moonslav59
    They had a run differential of -7 on June 24th and were the worst team in the AL. That's kinda hard to understand, when about half the teams had worse than that. Yes, the offense, lack of HRs and Crochet/Bello stinking up their starts were all major factors in that awful start, I don't think we were as bad as the record indicated. Nobody is 30-5 good over a full season, so we are somewhere in between.

    Was it a mistake to not trade Early and Tolle for Joe Ryan?
  9. moonslav59
    2 bad starts in his first 4, and one since- maybe 2! 21 starts 3 bad 2 kinda bad 16 good to great. 75% (15-5 in his starts) ________________ Ranger: 3 out of first 5 were bad 4 out of next 14 kinda bad to bad. 12 out of 19 good to great. (Team: 11-8 in his starts) 65%ish _________________ Tolle: 15 out of 18 starts have been good to great! 80% Hard luck as we are 9-9 in his sgtarts. ___________________ Only 7-5 in Bennett's starts Maybe 9 good to great starts out of 12. 75% ____________________ Sandoval: 4 out 5 were good to great. 80% Team is 5-0! _____________________ Two guys killed out rotation numbers: Crochet: Team 3-3 (3 out of 6 good to great- 50%) 6.30 ERA Bello: Team 1-7 (2 out of 6 good to great- 33%) 10.35 ERA as starter

    I keep saying crazy. We are 5 behind in run diff from the Yanks for 5th best in MLB. 7th best record in MLB. 1 GB NYY (T loss column) 3 GB CHC (2GB losses) On June 24, 2026 the Sox were 32-46. Last in AL and 29th in MLB! (Only -7 in run diff, but nobody cared.) We've gone 30-5 with a +83 run diff
  11. moonslav59
    Yup. 22-4 Porcello '16 19-6 ERod '19 19-9 Lester '09 18-5 Crochet '25 17-6 Pomeranz '17 17-7 Porcello '18 17-8 Sale '27 17-7 Buchholz '10 16-7 Price '18
  12. moonslav59
    The team is 15-5 in Sonny starts, but yes.
  13. moonslav59
    I think you oops'd your oops... Oops Not even close to the best ERA
  14. moonslav59
    Sox pen is... #1 ERA 2.92 #1 ERA- at 67 (2nd is 76)
  15. moonslav59
    That score on the short sac fly was about where the ball was hit when he was bitching about the runner not scoring. Maybe he thinks everyone is as fast as he is. That was a nice run by Duran. Speed kills.
  16. moonslav59
    I didn't forget. I thought last year's team was fun to watch, and even when we were sucking this April to June, there were some fun players to enjoy watching- Willson, Ceddanne, Sonny, Ranger, Tolle, Early, Whitlock & Chapman. So many losses, despite a plus run differential became too frustrating. It was easy to give up on them. I've given up on teams, too, and sometimes early. There was one season I think I was the first to throw in the towel. I've been suggesting sell as some deadlines when others were wanting us to buy. You are not alone.
  17. moonslav59
    Sonny got his ERA down to 2.78 and T Guerrero keeps on chugging along. The D has been strong, tonight. Good to see Abreu heating up. Let's hope he can keep it going for longer than a couple weeks. Duran's 2 hits brings him over .620. He was below .530 mid May and below .595 on July 20th and July 31st.
  18. moonslav59
    Arias homered tonight. He went 3-4 (over 1.000 in AAA) Gasper homered. Holobetz went 4 scoreless (5H 0BB 2K) Woowon 10-1, POR won big. They scored 8 in the 9th. They walked 8 times and had 13 hits. GRE is losing 10-2 as Phillips got drilled. Ge Rod is 2-3. SAL up 10-2. Pinto homered.
  19. moonslav59
    It and he certainly raise doubts. I really liked his approach at the plate, despite many thinking he took too many strikes. He had a very nice OBP and power, so that's never a bad thing. IMO, he should be a DH only going forward. I felt he should have been from day one, but Yoshida cornered that market.
  20. moonslav59
    I kinda convinced myself after looking at his last 2 seasons combined, but you did a better job. I still have some doubts, but what baseball player is doubt-free?
  21. moonslav59
    I kinda expected we'd have to fill one need via rental, just to keep the return costs from being way too high. Our returns were rather high on the AR and Mead trades, but the others were kinda minor. (Rogers is a rental, but he was a throw-in, so they didnt count him, I guess.) This deadline seemed to have way more multi year players traded than in the past. Maybe taht's because there were so many buyers and so few sellers. Maybe the pending lockout spurred some GMs to sell 1.3 year players like AR,
  22. moonslav59
    He's a stange dude. I'd say we count on zero from him, but if he ever gets healthy, I can't forget how well they guy could hit. Talk about taking up a roster slot, he makes Story look like Lou Gerhig,
  23. moonslav59
    True, but their sample sizes are small, this year. This is Monasterio's 4th season and not his longest to date. This could be a fluke or just a break out year. (92 gms in 23, then 59 and 68 before 72, this year.) He did hit ,755 last year, so he now has a decent sample of continuous decent hitting. 140 games at .767- a 114 OPS+. Maybe I should believe more than I do!!! This is just Seigler's second MLB season. 34 gms in 2025 (.501) and 36 this year (.690.) Not good but his D has been. (dWAR from -0.2 to +0.6) He's 27 and hit .875 at AAA in 466 PAs, However he hit between ,679 and .737 at other levels. (.747 minors career) I'm loving what I'm seeing, but with the bat, Seigler has not convince me. Looking over these numbers and seeing Monasterio look good on D, I'm believing more than a few minutes ago,

    I don't disagree, but maybe the medical team did not want to give all the info and they werent really wrong. Hard to know. Being wrong on the timeline does not mean they messed up treatments- not that you are saying they did. Finally, some of our players on the IL (Casas, Crawford and maybe Sandoval and others) injured themselves while on the IL. I'm not sure any were because the medstaff did anything wrong. Here in HOU, I hear the same about the Astros med staff, so I wonder. (They seem to mis guess the time out worse than we do.)
