And he hit about a well as Votto did as a baby…
-
But the occasional Chad Cordero or Huston Street would be nice…
-
It turns out Tony Clark negotiates like he hits. Too many misses…
-
Also with Boston, Schwarber has 12 walks in 42 PA For some perspective, Dalbec has 18 walks in 352 PA…
-
And on college he was a teammate of former Sox stud 1b Sam Travis…
-
He did get $10mill after being non-tendered…
-
True but that one year might be a relative bargain compared to the free agent alternatives in Correa, Seager and Story…
-
Can’t equate him to Roberto Duran, because that guy could actually hit…
-
The bulk of the OPS tends to be from OBP. Like before last night, Robles had a .554 OPS in recent outings for Boston, but about .350 of it was OBP…
-
Relievers who walk lots of hitters do see that heavily weighted in their OPSA. Like Robles, before he devices to let the slugging catch up last night…
-
The low OPS in the ninth is also heavily carried by Barnes’ pre-August dominance in that inning. And that a couple of his recent meltdowns happened in earlier innings (notably in Toronto)…
-
I think JoeBreidey and his love for the K/BB might have summed it up best…
-
Another factor is if he opts out, he definitely gets a qualifying offer. If he is rejecting a one year $19.4 mill option, why not make him another one year $19 mill offer to also reject? In fact, it might make sense for him to decline the option and accept the QO. That way he enters the market for 2023 as ineligible to receive one…

Last night’s game was a prime example of why save percentage isn’t very good. Colome got a blown save, but his three-pitch strikeout of Verdugo was absolutely key in giving his team a chance to win, which they did. Robles was horrible, but it was a tie game, so, hey, no blown save and therefore it doesn’t count for save percentage…
-
Not uncommon for guys who aren’t closers. They can only get a save on the 9th inning but can get blown saves in the 6th, 7th and 8th innings as well…
-
No. The Sox traded for him. With MN this year, Robles was had but 2 blown saves in 26 opportunities…
-
Sounding ominous, like a fictional villain. Maybe Skeletor or Darth Vader, but with just a hint of the Ice King from “Adventure Time”…
-
If he accepts the option and the NL does adopt the DH for 2022, he will have missed his best chance. He won’t be struggling to put food on the table if he misses out, but there will be less interested teams and he will be a year older. Now if he accepts the option and the NL adopts the DH in 2023, he should be fine. But I can’t compare the hypothetical contracts…
-
I’ll take it. I don’t even get that much like from my family…
-
For all of this closer talk about last night’s loss, the game was neither a save situation nor did the Twins rally in the ninth…
-
It seems as though that pressure would also fall on the hitter, equalizing the whole confrontation to an extent…
-
No, and if convicted, Colome can be either sentenced to 5 years in prison or forced two watch two full episodes of “90 Day Fiancé”. But not both…
-
Almost as if they had a strategy for him…
-
I disagree. I have to imagine a pitcher is far more amped up facing Bo Bichette and Vlad Jr. in the 8th than facing Brayvic Valera and Sergio Espinal in the 9th. After all, baseball is competition. And better opponents make for more intense moments…
-
The new CBA is a factor for JD, I suspect. If his agent thinks the new CBA will include a DH in the NL, he’d be stupid not to opt out, as 15 more teams suddenly need his services. But that’s unlikely to be resolved by the time he has to make a decision. So if he has to guess, the safer choice is to just exercise his option for 2022. Especially given his recent slump. Now if he goes on a tear the way of the way, obviously things can change…
