  1. I would bet if you had a scouting report on a 19-20 yo Franchy Cordero, it might read something like that…
  2. The XBox exists!!! That’s what the “X” in Xbox stands for. Very few people know that…
  3. The “C” in CERA stands for “chicken.” Very few people know that…
  4. So 3 ER in 6 innings is better than 5 shutout innings?
  5. Also that poster was probably male and therefore incapable of birthing Mookie…
  6. Was that the criteria? The post only said “best outing”…
  7. By what measure? 5IP 1ER is a 1.80 ERA…
  8. It’s really a non-factor. Much like who will be playing shortstop for the 2022 Red Sox, we also know who will be the starting catcher. And no amount of stats on this or any other forum will change this…
  9. A lot of presumption over things that have not happened yet. What if they don’t sweep the Yankees? Heck, what if they get swept? The Yankees do end the season with Tampa, but as things stand now, those games with the Rays might be completely meaningless. So it’s not like Tampa can be counted on for any help…
  10. That’s fine but first order of business is getting in, followed by clinching home field for the WC game. Getting players ready is last. Possibly even behind setting up the postseason rotation…
  11. Fun thought: this year, Red Sox outfielders Hunter Renfroe and Kyle Schwarber have combined for 59 home runs on the season. Both players were non-tendered last off-season…
  12. If Cora benches Iglesias to play Arroyo, it raises serious questions about his ability to manage…
  13. It might have more to do with regularly resting Vazquez, especially since catcher is a fairly grueling position physically. Over the season, Plawecki has caught Eovaldi 16 times to 12 for Vazquez, so this is not a new radical change…
  14. That’s why Bartolo Colon beat Johan Santana for the Cy Young Award. He had more wins and was therefore the better pitcher. And we can ignore that Santana was better in all the other pitching stats…
  15. I assumed Sale took less because he was already injured and feared an injury-plagued or limited season would severely impact his earning power…
  16. It could be a decision by Cora, but I wouldn’t rule out good ol’ fashioned superstition. Baseball players are notoriously superstitious and Eovaldi might prefer Plawecki because he feels he has his best games with him. Of course, I have no idea if Eovaldi himself is actually superstitious. Also, I do not recall the Scarecrow talking about catchers….
  17. It is weird they call them “Catcher 1” and “Catcher 2” instead of by name. Professional athletes are just so different from the rest of us…
  18. There’s a lot of conjecture being passed off as fact here. Do we really know when they “gave up” on Betts?
  19. Well he doesn’t do anything to stop it, now does he?
  20. Or… that makes it matter more…
  21. No bidding war. At worst, a bidding spat…
  22. Or 25? I can see leaving Plawecki off, but the rest have no excuse!!
  23. I do keep my smack talk largely based in the current season. At least until they break out that “27 rings” ********. Like those titles in the 1920s and 30s are supposed to be relevant today!? At the very least, trash talk needs to be limited to our current lifetimes, and nothing from before there were even 50 states is going to have much sting with me…
  24. In 2003, the attitude was “just once before I die.” Bill Simmons even titled a book similarly “Now I Can Die In Peace.” But after a few titles and a string of winning seasons, suddenly anything short of a title seems to be viewed as a failure to far too many…
  25. I’ll change my thoughts when they invite me to ride a parade float. I justify my fandom to nobody…
