The Sox team BABIP not only leads the majors, but also leads by a lot. The next best team BABIP is Miami, who is at .320. Yes, they will regress.
-
So because some people do not mind an imperfect batting order because the team is winning is the same as a starting pitcher who is not performing?
-
Yeah! Opener logic. To me, that is very dependent on how effective the bullpen is and how often they are used. The occasional short shutout start is nice, but when you need to rely on the bullpen for over 5 innings every game (or even nearly every game), that can lead to a lot of long term issues. Although it probably is worth noting that in a double header, a 3.2 IP 0 ER start does look significantly better than a 6 IP 3 ER start....

No, it's just easier to sell then...

This is not Bloom's first time acquiring Arroyo. There is clearly something about this guy he likes...

But is that enough to stay off the couch?

.. and Nate Pearson also out...

They're professional sports analysts (one of whom was a former MLB player and MLB manager) who have a public voice in a very large media market...

Maybe Giolito just had a bad day. It happens to humans...

And right after that, does she tell you where you stand?

2021 MLB draft

True, but right now the Sox have a lot of shortstops under 21 in the system. Lugo, Bonaci, Flores. They really only need one on hand for the parent club. Of course, "high school shortstop" often just means "best player on the team" and it's real common for those guys to find another position before they reach the Majors... -
Well, they can make a deal with the Yankees to keep him. Either a trade for another player or just a cash settlement. But for all we know, they tried this and Cashman was not amenable...
-
They'd move Blackmon at lightning speed if anyone wanted him. But since he is owed $42mill for this year and next and has a player option for 2023, that's a lot of commitment for a guy with a pretty mediocre OPS (.744) outside of Coors ( where he has a .983 OPS)...
-
Not to mention, the hits came from the first 6 batters. Exactly when Benetti thought the Sox were reviewing film to get signals is beyond me...
-
At least the Braves' pitching can claim injuries as a reason. They're currently without Soroka, Fried, Newcomb, Chris Martin, and (naturally) Drew Smyly already...

2021 MLB draft

As much as I would think this team needs to build up it's MiLB pitching, if they take a HS shortstop, I can see why. My first thought was "You don't build up your pitching by drafting high school shortstops," but maybe you do. If, say, Mayer or Lawlor (and/or Yorke) pan out at the lower levels and become ranked prospects, it is possible they can be dealt for a pitcher more established in the MiLB ranks or whom already has MLB experience, which is a lot less risky than taking even a college pitcher... -
Well, even George would not hold Marcus Thames accountable for Jordan Montgomery (4.24), Corey Kluber (6.10), Jameson Taillon (7.56) and Domingo German (9.0). Also, Nick Nelson (10.80). The Yankee starting pitchers should form a band called Gerrit and the Atrocities...
-
Right now, it isn't broken. I'm ok with Kike leading off until the team stops hitting...

While advanced metrics don't like Cordero's defense, a lot of scouting reports do, especially when it comes down to tracking down difficult flyballs for outfielders to get to (re: range). That said, he looked a little bit lost on Eaton's RBI double today. And I am unaware of Duran's arm strength, but Cordero can throw very, very well..
-
Yeah, but it was like they all knew what was coming. Probably worth pointing out Benetti seemed to go through the series thinking offense was a big problem for the Red Sox last year. He didn't seem aware this team could hit...
-
I was a little surprised. Although Ozzie did point out Cordero can expect to be drilled a few times during the next series between the two for stealing a base (which I think was ruled as defensive indifference) with a position player on the mound. And he also said that while he would probably order it were he managing, he has managed teams where the players took it upon themselves to take care of things like that...
-
So watching the White Sox broadcast for this series’s In the postgame show, Jason Benetti kept strongly implying the Red Sox must have cheated after struggling yesterday to starting the game with six straight hits. He even brought up Cora’s past in such a scandal (with the 2017 Astros). While he tried to say he wasn’t accusing the Red Sox of anything, he absolutely was. His deskmate Ozzie Guillen was much more rational and pointed out flaws with Giolito today...
-
While both are former 2b’s that were moved to CF in the Red Sox minor league system, I think the comp ends there or at least doesn’t go much further...
-
Hicks is a switch-hitting Jackie Bradley. Offense is inconsistent and a bonus, and not why he starts...
-
I was going to point out he only used Springs for the worst part of the order, but the entire Yankees lineup is the worst part of the order...
