    Rafaela keeps hitting for RBIs. 5 batters have been on base 3 times in 6 innings. 2 batters- two times 2 batters-one time, with EValdez hitting a 3-run bomb as his only hit.

    Not only did they start DHing him v RHPs, they jump him to the 3 slot. I'm glad he's getting a chance. If he starts to falter, then yank him v RH'ers.

    It does seem like a set-up, in that way. We keep winning after we think things look bleak, then lose, when it looks like we have a chance to close the gaps.

    Meidroth may move up, only because Wikelman may fall below #13.
  6. moonslav59
    I never noticed those carrots. Right on Benitez.

    Some positive things: 29 unearned runs first 31 games, but 10 unearned runs last 31 games. The return of Casas. Better offense at SS and 2B than before. (Romy, DHam, Rafaela> Valdez, Reyes, Short) Hendriks joins in August. The concerns: Rotation coming back to earth Martin's issues Offense, offense, offense (Rafaela & Grissom)

    Maybe we trade for him at the deadline.
  10. moonslav59
    It makes me wonder why he walks so much, if pitchers don't fear him.
  11. moonslav59
    Can you see what his season numbers are on exit velocity or Hard hit%?
  12. moonslav59
    The way some of our infielders are hitting, I'll take a high OBP and singles/doubles hitter over this sub .500 and even .400 OPS crapola. Of course, we can't be sure he can even hit .260 with a .340+ OBP in the bigs. I'd like to see him get a chance, at some time.

    Using a modified QS formula, here are our SP numbers: MQS: 7+ IP 0-3 ER 5+ IP 0-2 ER 4+ IP 0-1 ER 10 Houck (12 starts) would be 11, if you count his 6 IP/ 3ER game. 8 Crawford (13) He also had a 6IP/3ER game that does not count, here. 7 Criswell (9) The team is 7-2 in his starts. 6 Pivetta (8) The two 5 ER games has killed his ERA. 5 Bello (10) He had one 6/3 as well. 83% Houck 78% Criswell 75% Pivetta 62% Crawford 50% Bello

    Here in Portland, I had a couple friends who had rinks in their backyards. We had a frozen pond about 200 yards from our house. Those were the days!
  15. moonslav59
    Knowing us, that might happen, someday. Bernardino, too. LOL
  16. moonslav59
    Despite b eing demoted to the pen for a big chunk of 2023, Pivetta has started 87 games since 2021. That ranks 38th in all MLB. His starts missed were not due to injury, except the few he missed, this season. His 6.3 fWAR in the last 3.3 seasons ranks T66th. (This includes some games in relief.) He's probably been better than most team's #3 SP and better than quite a few teams' #2. Ideally, he'd be our #4 or #5, but that is hard to arrange without adding another arm of two.

    I know. I said, it says more about who else is in the line-up. EValdez is 7th in team PAs. It is fair to compare Rafaela to other top 9 Sox players in PAs. It's not a feather if Rafaela's cap, but the fact is, he is not "the worst," for what that is worth. We have a lot of really bad OPS on this team. We have over 220 PAs in 4 guys below .451. Add Valdez and we are near 340 PAs with a combined OPS around .460.

    To me, it looks like Pivetta's "stuff" looks nastier than during other stretches where he has looked goo and even very good, prior to the end of 2023. Has he really changed? Is he better than before? More importantly, can he keep it going, without over-stressing his arm to the point of serious injury? We'd all like to see how this season plays out for him, but so would it be to other GMs. I'd offer him $30M/2 with some incentives, and a third year team option at $12M with a $2M buyout. It's a risk, but we can't afford to lose pitchers that are doing well, for us.
  21. moonslav59
    Me neither. Is placements says more about others in the line-up than him, but as bad as he has been, he's not the worst. Not even in OPS, unless you set the sample size above 113 PAs. (which is not a whole hell of a lot, but it is 7th most for this season on the Sox.): .367 Grissom 87 PAs .385 Dalbec 63 .443 Cooper 68 .451 Reyes 64 .576 Valdez 113 .597 Rafaela 222 .610 McGuire 109 .632 Smith 106 .736 Yoshida 89 .743 DHam 109 .773 Duran 280 .829 Abreu 189 .832 Wong 167 .847 O'Neill 176 .857 Casas 90 .919 Refsnyder 111 .956 Devers 221

    Thanks for the update. I suggested we call him up, when Devers got hurt, but we did okay with Romy & DHam. Here is what sp's has to say about Chase... Potential fringe-bench player who brings solid contact skills and some defensive versatility. Ceiling of a contact-oriented utility player, Will always have to hit, but has shown strong contact skills and an advanced approach so far. Needs to show he can impact the baseball or advanced arms will challenge him since they know he is unlikely to make them pay. Young for the college draft class and combination of age, contact skills and approach grade out really well on models.
  23. moonslav59
    Correct. I think my page did not go down to 11 IP. My bad.
  24. moonslav59
    The Yankee pitching staff is amazing, and without Cole: All 8 pitchers with more than 25 IP: 1.37 Holmes 1.82 Gil 12 GS 2.52 Schmidt 11 GS 2.70 Weaver 2.73 Stroman 12 GS 2.84 Hamilton 3.08 Rodon 13 GS 3.46 Cortes 13 GS Only 5 pitchers have started a game! (Sox have 9.)
