Me neither. Apparently both Venus and Serena bought a share of Miai Dolphin team ownership back in 2009, when the pair were still dominating the tennis world...
-
I think Pivetta "won" the role by having no options remaining...
-
Venus Williams is a part owner of the Miami Dolphins...

Cashman: That incident at the charity gala is particularly disturbing and you have become a troublesome stain on the proud legacy and brand of the New York Yankees. We are going to have to recommend some serious counseling and rehab sessions. German: I'm 4-0 with a 1.93 ERA. Cashman: Counseling completed!!

If they go with 3 bench players, and no on starts the year on the IL, Chavis is the only one with an option remaining. It's not like having him start the season in Worcester means he is cut from the team and gone forever. If he is finally hitting well, doesn't it make sense to have him someplace where he can try to keep up the pace?
-
Because every mentoring session should begin with the question "Do you own a gun?"
-
I wen to high school with a kid named Cliff Window...
-
Plawecki is a given. So he probably bumps Chavis to Worcester...
-
Sure they could have. But at some point, we all knew the spending was going to stop. It probably didn't help that he did keep riding the bicycle in 2019 and the team was barely above .500. That's more like treading water than riding a bike, I suppose. Maybe if the 2019 did not underachieve? Maybe knowing Sale was going to miss significant time? And it's really hard to call an owner cheap when the team's payroll is in excess of $240 million...

Was it? You didn't see the bottom after last season's plummet?
-
Didn't Michael Jordan take a partial ownership role in the Washington Wizards and then come out of retirement and play for the Wizards?
-
Well, depends on where the beer is....
-
But my point was he would have been hazed as a rookie regardless of team.. He would have had to go through something demeaning or humiliating or whatever had he been a rookie on the Athletics or the Braves or the Dodgers or the Nippon Ham Fighters...
-
But Herandez has alread been there. Those projections are basically projected fWAR/bWAR against salary projections. As of now, it looks like the difference in projected performance vs projected salary favors Hernandez...
-
But it is the off the field stuff that can keep him, well, off the field...
-
A little bit of liberty with his past there...
-
I think Cora is doing to "gut feel" thing with Hernandez. Nothing in his past says he should be hitting leadoff, but I would not be surprised if the role was not his to lose...
-
Does he think other teams didn't do stuff like that?
-
I think it's the anti-Rhodes lobby. And Rhodes was barely a contemporary of those pitchers. Much like saves, holds and blown saves have been back-filled by a lot of these sites. No one even used the term until 1952, when it only meant you finished the game regardless of score. It was not given actual criteria beyond that until 1961, and not made a stat until 1969. And it was re-defined a few times in the following seasons. Yet I can pull up the stats for the 1903 Red Sox (technically the "Boston Americans") and see that Cy Young and Bill Dineen each recorded two saves. And the Holds thing is even more recent than that....
-
They all pitched before the 9th inning closer specialization, and are all among the all time leaders in games played. Holds were barely worth recording then, because those guys would come in in the 7th inning and just finish the game up...
-
Yes Ottavino has converted his 72 of his 87 "save" opportunities (83%) in the last 3 seasons with 8 saves and 64 holds, and Barnes has converted 68 of his 83 opportunities (82%) with 13 saves and 55 holds. So they are similar to each other, along with being just behind Kenley Jansen (85%), Liam Hendricks (85%) and Josh Hader (86%). Some other elite relievers are not so far off, including Brad Hand (89%), Edwin Diaz (87%), and Aroldis Chapman (89%). From what I can see, the conversion leader since 2018 appears to be Kirby Yates (95%)...

BR does track Blown Saves on the Game Logs...
-
Blown Saves is an overrated stat, because it is misunderstood by some. It has nothing to do with 9th inning traditional closer work. Pitchers can get Blown Saves in situations where they were very unlikely to ever get the actual save itself (i.e. in the 6th and 7th innings) and were just in line for a Hold...

Sox sign Garrett Richards, pending physical
notin replied to illinoisredsox's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Without Sale anyway, this is the perfect time to take these kinds of high upside gambles... -
I think we all know German has other issues that are far more dangerous than just giving up the occasional home run...
