    I was very hopeful our catchers would improve, this year- both on O and D. many catchers mature in their late 20's and even after 30-31. I hope this can continue, but expect something over .725 from our catchers, combined. Maybe .750+ is not too much to think might occur.

    For argument's sake, say the top Sox brass assures Cora they will spend much more in the next 5 years: can he believe them? Even if he does, it may not be enough to make him want to stay. How well this year's team does may play a role in how he views the future, here. He's also likely to be excited about Anthony, Teel, Mayer and maybe a couple others looking to graduate in 1-2 years, with more coming in 3-4 years. Hard to know what he's thinking or feeling.

    Does Bello owe you money? How could you talk about him like that?

    Wow! That was with the CWS, on the Sox... The closest might be Bill Hall with 18 HRs and 46 RBI. Some other warped numbers... 30+ HRs 2018: Betts 32 HRs and 80 RBI 1997: Mo Vaughn 35 HRs 91 RBI 1977: George Scott 33-95 1982: Evans 32-98 1986: Baylor 31-94 2021: Renfroe 31-96 1997: Nomar 30-98 Others below 30: 29-78 Evans '85 25-59 Salty '12 24-63 Evans '78 23-60 Papi '12 21-58 Evans '79 21-58 Duvall '23 19-52 HRam '15

    Anytime.

    He homered, today and has an OPS over 1.000 in a season where he is trying to regain some stature as a serious prospect.
  7. moonslav59
    How many players throw L and bat only R?
  8. moonslav59
    Good trivia question. It could be 7: Casas, Valdez, Hamilton, Duran and McGuire plus Yoshida & Devers. (Abreu is the only BL/TL on the everyday roster.)

    If HOU beats TEX, tonight, the Sox will be pass them for the 3rd best AL record. 8-2 NYY 7-2 CLE 6-2 TEX 7-3 BOS (4th but could be 3rd, after tonight) 6-3 DET MLB 8-2 NYY & PIT 7-2 CLE 6-2 TEX, ATL & MIL 7-3 BOS (7th best before TEX game.) This may not last long, but it has been fun.

    The first loss was 1-0. (The HR beat us.) The second loss was 4-3, and 3 runs were unearned. The third loss was 2-1 with both runs unearned.
  11. moonslav59
    Over 6% of the season has been played: still, a very small sample size. 7-3 on the road. Keep it going!!!
  12. moonslav59
    Add the top 4 together: 43 IP 27 Hits 11 BBs 54 Ks 2 Earned Runs 0.42 ERA in 8 starts
  13. moonslav59
    McGuire is the clear rbi leader: 8 McGuire 6 Valdez 5 O'Neill (5 HRs leads team) 5 Rafaela OBP .514 O'Neill .404 Duran .385 McGuire .342 Yoshida .333 Wong .326 Casas SLG .893 O'Neill .625 McGuire .469 Devers .419 Duran .400 Rafaela, Wong OPS 1.407 O'Neill (Leads MLB) 1.010 McGuire .823 Duran .811 Devers .733 Wong

    Having a left hitting catcher helps reach those numbers.
  15. moonslav59
    I'd rather keep Rafaela in CF (not SS,) and Duran in LF (not CF.) I think SS Reyes & 2B Grissom is better defense than SS Grissom & 2V Valdez/Reyes. I seriously doubt we go out and get a SS stopgap. It's our M.O.
  16. moonslav59
    How long can a team hold out hope a player can return to the value he held for a month of so in 2020 and the last 4 months of 2021? That seems like a decade ago.
  17. moonslav59
    SP'er ERAs after 2 starts each: 0.00 Houck (12 IP, 7 H, 2BB, 17K) 0.82 Pivetta (11IP, 8 H, 1BB, 13K) 0.84 Crawford (10.2, 5H, 4BB, 12K) 0.96 Whitlock (9.1, 7H, 4BB, 12K 5.40 B Bello (10 IP, 6H, 1BB, 8 K)
  18. moonslav59
    He does not believe in batting in others- the selfish bastard!
  19. moonslav59
    Shoulda spent in Betts- something we all should agree on.
  20. moonslav59
    We may go... SS Reyes/DHam 2B Grissom
  21. moonslav59
    Agree, but both are super duper long shots.
  22. moonslav59
    This sucks, bigtime!
  23. moonslav59
    I think he'd be a plus defender at 1B, but we have Casas, so DH is fine with some work at 1B, when Casas needs a rest. We could try to avoid giving Casas days off by DH'ing him 20-25 games, instead of giving him 10 days off. We'd have to trade Yoshida, or play him in LF. (Yikes!)
  24. moonslav59
    The time has come where those of us who want Devers moved off 1B to no longer have to give reasons. Granted, it can't happen, right now, but this is it.
  25. moonslav59
    He sucked in 2023. He sucked in ST'ing. He sucks, now.
