How many of those teams have used games against the Orioles to get over .500? -
108 plate appearances. Not time to pull the trigger yet. But might be time to entertain thoughts on a Plan B...
-
At least 7 ER per 9....
-
For older hitters, I’ve found a good use is to place it behind them with a ball on it in order to teach them how to follow through with their swing....
-
Oh there were more flops than Brice. But also more semi-success stories than we realized at the time...
-
It’s also more immediate
-
The thing is, this system Bloom is using is actually working to some degree. Yeah, Brice has flopped, but Springs, Mazza, Valdez, Pivetta and Whitlock are all having good seasons so far. Last year’s dumpster-diving ventures proved Bloom can find quality dumpsters...
-
Also three positions Danny Santana can play
-
Funny thing - Jeffrey Springs currently has a 17.0 K/BB along with a 2.87 ERA and 2.78 FIP. Did the Sox give up too soon? Should we take note of this with regards to Cordero and Dalbec?
-
I'll start the bidding with Yimi Garcia...
-
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...
