It is. And all off-season I was on board with questioning it. But right now, it's not what is not working, even with Hernandez sporting a truly horrific .284 OBP. Eventually the team BABIP will normalize and the lineup will get re-arranged into something that (I think?) makes more sense...

As bad as Richards has been, it's still only 16 innings pitched. Thy can't just demote him to Worcester without exposing him to waivers, so a move to the bullpen is far more likely. And right now, if anyone is going to Worcester, hopefully it's Taylor...

MLB2N was suggesting a mid-season acquisiton of Anthony Rizzo made sense for the Yankees. The problem is, until things turn around, why would they consider buying?

I'm having my doubts Rocker gets that far. I have my doubts he drops to number 2... -
There is a difference between questioning a management decision and questioning a player performance...

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...
