  1. I totally missed that, and I was looking for him…
  2. Well, Vazquez does lead the team in stolen bases with 8…
  3. Also, Eduardo Rodriguez: 3.6
  4. Richards first 20.2 IP from the bullpen had a 0.87 ERA and a .542 OPSA. But those last 3 innings apparently nullify them…
  5. No idea about his b@lls, and that’s an odd obsession of yours. But I firmly believe he has the brains to not make that incredibly stupid move…
  6. Weird sad fact: It’s been one week since the Red Sox and over 50 innings since the Sox have scored more than 2 runs in an inning…
  7. Meanwhile Verdugo and Duran are on the bench. While neither is JBJ 2.0, both might be closer than Renfroe…
  8. Eh. Said about every closer ever…
  9. Just another argument for bringing back Rick Porcello…
  10. Technically his deal was related to the height of the stack of money he wanted…
  11. … and that’s why Stroman won’t get a 12 year deal….
  12. Ray will get a QO. I wouldn’t give Stroman a Price contract, but a Lackey deal seems reasonable…
  13. Every year he gets more likely to have a significant and sudden drop off…
  14. Toronto is throwing Matz, Manoah and Ryu at the Orioles. Seattle has Gonzalez, Flexen and maybe Tyler Anderson lined up for the Angels. Will the Sox be using ERod, Sale and Eovaldi in this series?
  15. Chances of it being exercised fall between 99% and 101%….
  16. I would think the Sox likely add just one starter. In the lineup, they could address the CF/2b situation, depending on where Kike plays. Arroyo is simply not a solution based on straight up durability. LF is another question mark. Verdugo full time? Bring back Schwarber? Go with Duran? Does a Verdugo/Renfroe platoon make sense in RF? At least one RP is essential. If they make a trade, the bait might include Bogaerts (whom I consider unlikely, of course I felt that way about Benintendi, too), Duran/Verdugo, D Hernandez (enticing fastball, pitiful control) and possibly Barnes. The simplest plan is sign Semien and a RP (R Iglesias? Y Garcia? A Bradley? M Givens?) and Semien (2b) to start. And the surplus LF maybe dealt for a pitcher. BTV proposes equivalent pitchers like Zach Plesac (for Duran) or Triston McKenzie (for Verdugo). If Cleveland was interested, Plesac has been the better pitcher and is my preferred target…
  17. I don’t see the point in getting an “aging stud” to pitch nothing but the high-priced declining years that make long term deals so problematic. I’d rather see the Sox add Stroman for 5 or 6 years as opposed to Scherzer for 3…
  18. No hitter seems to epitomize the offensive nosedive more than Xander Bogaerts, who is 2 for 23 since the winning streak with a .212 OPS and a single BB in that timeframe…
  19. Well maybe your kids would get more excited about it if you told them this was a POSTSEASON game…
  20. I’d like Houck and Whitlock (and Barnes and Taylor) in the bullpen as well. But Bloom blatantly disregards my recommendations, that elitist &$&$/!
  21. Easily as much of one as any other MLB. pundit. Except George King, who’s flat out pathetic…
  22. The pitcher enumerations are too broad and confusing. Most people’s idea of the difference between a #3 and a #2 probably differ, possibly by a lot. We could use two good starting pitchers. Sort out the numbers later. (Also if Whitlock moves to the rotation, the Sox potentially need just one starter.)
  23. He apparently was last year as well, but Boston’s interest in Hernandez (which he learned about through his agent, who also represents Kike) made him pursue other avenues…
  24. If you said “nullified” or “countered”, I might agree. But to overtly state it’s “outweighed” requires some sort of support. Why is it you think travel affects Seattle more so than other teams, especially those not as accustomed?
