    And then we laugh maniacally as they fell into my clever trap. Anthony is still pretty tough on LHP, or has been to date. They do get to weaken Duran by having him face a LHP. But after Duran I bring up Contreras, who does crush LHP and, thanks to the 3 batter rule…

    Why not Duran at #2? At least vs RHP…

    You know as well as I do all the flaws with drawing any conclusions from those observations. Probably best to get sufficient data before drawing any conclusions…

    Very possibly..,

    If you’re not comparing them to the rest of the league, exactly what criteria are you using to say the offense isn’t good? You’re literally saying the Sox could lead all of MLB in scoring and you’d find them insufficient…

    The point isn’t that the blowout don’t effect the Sox RPG; it’s that they are not this huge factor in inflating the Sox RPG compared to other teams since every team will have them..

    I am getting more anti-Cora in my apparently misleading analogy…

    Or when the Sox finish the year top 5 in scoring and someone will say “Thats only because of the blowout wins.” Because, you know, the Sox are the only team in MLB to ever have blowout wins…

    Which means what three games into the season?

    The Sox were third in the AL in scoring last year. Not quite sure they’ve reached the point where every run in sacred…

    They would have lost Crochet’s start, too?

    That seems like a questionable Cora thing…

    Definitely. High school kids know upper 90s leads to a bigger signing bonus or a better D-1 scholarship. 17-18 yo kids don’t need to bring that kind of heat to get high school hitters out, but they continually do it to guarantee a future that they’ve already started jeopardizing…

    Actually I think the bigger issue is that Breslow all but ignored the bullpen almost all offfseason. From November until late March, his biggest add was Ryan Watson. At the buzzer, he added vets Danny Coulombe and Tommy Kahnle, but Coulombe missed ST. (Kahnle did, too, but at least he pitched in the WBC.)

    Some managers actually like that strategy. Kevin Cash and Ned Yost used to do that kind of thing a lot. Although usually more for innings 2-7 than 3-9…

    But the pitch count has also shown itself an excellent control in minimizing injuries. Especially important now because every pitcher throws 95 mph, something far, far fewer pitchers did in the Complete Game Era…

    I thought Marte might be moved regardless, but maybe only for some exorbitant price. I wanted Paredes, but keeping Abreu looks like the smart move so far…

    Who gives a s*** what fans said? Breslow didnt Sign him. Honestly i don’t question that. Suarez has had a good career, but he’s not a 3b anymore so unless they signed him over trading for Contreras, I get it…

    WTF are you talking about? Early threw 96 pitches IN A GAME IN MARCH. It’s one thing to be upset about the loss, but Weissert got beat by a hitter who has quietly put together a 300 HR career. It happens. Also bullpens blew leads before analytics. The Sox really needed more offense today. Losing 2 out of 3 is rough, but it’s also 2 out of 3 road games to a playoff team from last year that does have good pitching.

    I am not sure I’ve ever seen a player on a minor league contract get as much pub as Rodgers…
