    But as for now, it looks like the two “new” relievers fans are clamoring for are Eovaldi and Wright. Unless Eovaldi just absolutely crushes it as a reliever, I expect him back in the rotation next year...

    At the very least a bench player. But he’s had like 3 good games!! He’s the future!!!
  3. notin
    Because pitchers were dominating. They still are, just not as much. It’s not like anyone is hitting .500. Or even .400. But it’s still a pitcher’s game...

    The changes in the game that’s effect statistics are astronomical and have hit . EVERY ASPECT of the game. From players (more teams, more races) to fields (foul poles, grounds rules, ground rule doubles, lowering mounds) to equipment changes discussed above. Oh and rules, too!!
  5. notin
    That would have the opposite effect. But there has been some discussion of lowering the mound in the next couple seasons...

    I’m ok with bringing up Darwinzon. Just limit his IP per appearance...

    Walden’s demotion comes when Eovaldi returns...

    A 4 game overage halfway they the season isn’t uncommon. It might erase itself over the next half...

    It is funny how the worse he pitches, the more some people think he’ll be attractive to other teams...

    Pythagorean for baseball is based on the exact same criteria as run differential...

    I wouldn’t call it a conspiracy, either. MLB is trying to compete for the fandom f low attention span millennials like Thunder, and noticing how they gravitate to quick-snip streaming video packages of segments of games that contain actual action such as the one the NBA released a few years back and was a mega hit. Baseball is not conducive to this type of viewer or medium as it stands. But more important in the evolution of the game, jung’s diatribe was more of the “the way it was yesterday is the way it always was” viewpoint. This isn’t the first time the ball has changed. Heck they even named “The Live Ball Era” after a previous change it what had to be the worst ever attempt to disguise it. The ball will probably change again. Ditto the bat. (Attempts made and failed to switch to maple, for example.) The gloves (which are already radically different from predecessors) and batting helmets (now with new cranial protection feature!!). This is just evolution. And it’s not stopping here either...

    I think that decision should be 3 letters long, but it won’t be...
  13. notin
    You and jung’s manifesto clearly disagree on this.
  14. notin
    So... 3 bad starts and he’s a pawn in a giant conspiracy?
  15. notin
    Especially since Tigers lineup is about half plasters I look at and think “Who is this guy?” interspersed with the other half that I look at and think “I had no idea he was still playing.”
  16. notin
    Sure we will. But to make it fun, first we need to fall 14 1/2 games back...

    You do realize if the Sox win, you’re going to have to keep watching that entire series until they lose. Do the Babysitters in Lust movies star Steven Seagal?
  18. notin
    It’s going to depend on who else is interested. From an FIP standpoint, he’s not much better than Addison Reed, who the Sox got for two A ball arms who were unranked in a weak farm system. A MLB-adjacent 3b who is already employing a launch ball swing is considerably more valuable to another team than that package was. They could hold out for a King’s Ransom, much like we were told Seattle would for Encarnacion. But ultimately they’ll take the best offer they get, which may or may not be better. And while they don’t have to deal him, he’s having a career year now, and isnt likely to command as much after the season or next July...
  19. notin
    How would we know about it? He's not going to get Stroman back. But I think he can get something helpful.. Shane Greene, for example...
  20. notin
    Nothing to suggest Eovaldi can handle a closer role? He did have that pretty impressive bullpen-saving outing in the World Series where any run given up would result in a loss. Do you need a higher leverage sample than that?
  21. notin
    There are probably a few names on that list it won’t hurt to give up. Dalbec is the most likely trade bait, as the success stories of Devers and Chavis have him blocked in the immediate future..,
  22. notin
    No one said Addison Reed did. The bottom line was the Sox acquired Kinsler for a player who, 1 year later, has 1.2 fWAR at the all star break while fulfilling a role the team needs. Certainly this type of trade chip is on their minds...
  23. notin
    And the Sox are probably limited to players with that type of availability. The fear is giving away the next Ty Buttrey, of course...
  24. notin
    ... which is why I think this team needs another starter to take pressure off the bullpen...
  25. notin
    The sox biggest need is a fifth starter so they can stop using relievers to start games, relieving pressing the bullpen..,
