    Probably also worth noting, there is no one on the Sox named "Frenchy"...

    Chavis can get a little love here for being 11 months younger...

    As bad as Cordero has been, Chavis hasn’t been much better and had a significantly larger chance to prove himself...

    One could argue the expansions starting in 1961 also made baseball a bit worse, as suddenly there were four full teams worth of players in the league who would not have been there in 1960. In fact, the true heyday for baseball was probably 1948 through to 1960. The league still had a limited amount of roster places available, but now had a bigger talent pool from which to chose. (Although some teams did drop the ball using it properly, and for all the wrong reasons.)

    No, but then medical discussions are not made public. I do think everyone thinks of surgery as a last resort, just like any of us prefer it be when it comes to ourselves. But with ballplayers, we tend to think they need t rush into it faster then they prefer...

    We’ve all seen Robinson Cano do that, and he is hardly the fleetest of foot...

    Would not have minded short term as well...

    He's throwing his curveball a lot less and his slider a lot more. If he had a tendency to hang the occasional curve ball, it could significantly impact his HR rate. In fact, if you look at his HR/FB rates year to year, they pretty much mirror his curveball rates...

    No one said they weren't. I just don't expect many of them to show up here...

    I couldn't find any data on this, beyond the fact that the Sox are in the middle of the league in both BB and HBP with no men on base (which does include leadoff hitters, but is obviously a bigger set). But I was not even able to break it down between starters and relievers...

    Brice cannot be demoted without being exposed to waivers, which he might not clear. Don’t get me wrong; I’m still in favor of it...

    Or sometimes they cling to “yeah but that prospect we traded away never turned into anything good”....

    Renfroe has been a monster in his limited role since May began. He entered today’s game with a .871 OPS, and has added a home run today. Dalbec entered today with a .410 OPS in May...

    No. Bogaerts is never in the Gold Glove conversation. But you are correct in that to date, he is a good MVP candidate. If you have any faith in Fangraphs and fWAR, he entered today’s game tied for second in the AL with 1.7 fWAR, along with Vlad Guerrero Jr. and teammate JD Martinez...

    If anything, the Sox pitchers have been hampered by the inadequate defense...
  16. notin
    Nope. He is carrying a career ERA of 0.00 and a career WHIP of 1.00 Granted, 1 career IP in a scoreless relief outing against the A's...

    .. with early Cy Young candidate John Means....

    I agree that it really depends on who and why is starting 3 IP 0 ER from, say, Andriese is considered a good thing. While it is techncially the same as 3 IP 0 ER from ERod, I don't think we would look at it that way. I thought at one point way back when, a Quality Start was 7 IP 3 ER or less, but I can'r find any evidence of that. 6 IP 3 ER seems like a borderline start and no one gets excited over a 4.50 ERA...

    Also the Sox had met their quota of Dimaggio's...

    What? They're already winning half the time!!
  21. notin
    But those crazy velocity raptors behind you leaning on the horn are another matter!!!

    I have never heard of any GM in any sport telling his boss “Keep the money. I don’t want to spend.” It’s a bit shocking. The guy has managed to put together a winning team in Tampa on no budget, and some fans are trying to hold that against him. “Well he never spent before.” Yeah neither did LeBron when he was growing up in Akron. Go Google his house. It turns out access to money can impact people’s spending habits...

    I mentioned the no hitters early in this thread. Didn’t you just know someone would throw one when I posted that?

    Per my cursory research, the record in a season is 7, done 3 times. 1990: Mark Langston & Mike Witt, Randy Johnson, Nolan Ryan, Fernando Valenzuela, Dave Stewart, Terry Mulhollan, Dave Stieb 1991: Nolan Ryan, Tommy Greene, combined 4 Oriole pitchers, Dennis Martinez, Wilson Alvarez, Brett Saberhagen, 3 combined Braves pitchers. 2015: Chris Heston, Max Scherzer (twice), Cole Hamels, Hisashi Iwakuma, Mike Fiers, Jake Arrieta. 1991 would have had 8 as Mark Garnder of the Expos no-hit the Dodgers for 9 innings 2 days before Dennis Martinez perfect game (mentioned above), but the Expos failed to score when he was out there. None of the years above had 3 no hitters by May 6. Only one of the no-hitters above (Langston/Witt) was by that date. Offense is down. Could we see eight this year?
  25. notin
    It's May 7th and we have already had 3 no-hitters in the league...
