  1. That’s another shocker...
  2. A bullpen game is stupid when your bullpen is your biggest problem...
  3. The thing is to me, this aspect of both the clutch argument and the closer argument step all over each other. In clutch arguments, the hitter is credited with responding to pressure. In closer arguments, the requirement is always stated as a pitcher who can handle the pressure. There is pressure on both the hitter and the pitcher in high leverage situations. At some point, this cancels each other out, which is probably why most hitters and pitchers play to their career norms in these situations, and this becomes more noticeable as sample sizes grow...
  4. Both Dickey and d’Arnaud had 4 good seasons after the trade. At Dickey’s age, this was a win. At d’Arnaud’s age, this was too few...
  5. He also has 25 days left in the Sox organization...
  6. While that’s very good, it has nothing to do with switch hitting...
  7. He’s been hitting better each month...
  8. When did Marco Gerbabdez start switch hitting?
  9. That’s the thing. It’s right there for the taking, but so far this group can’t take it anyway...
  10. But having 9 relievers would bump Hernandez - whose carrying the team - off the roster...
  11. How about, say, Travis Lakins for Jason Vargas? Open to other prospects as well...
  12. Dalbec has some trade value, but not enough to get elite level players. He’s not a top 100 prospect on any board, so his value will have to come from individual GMs who like Russ Branyan clones. He can probably get a closer or good reliever. He’s not even part of the package for Boyd...
  13. Or back a little further, Bert Blyleven...
  14. Flatter threads also make it difficult for a pitch to break, since it’s the change in air flow created by the threads that causes break in the first place...
  15. If Hernandez is carrying this team, someone needs to tell Cora. Because the dude hardly plays...
  16. But a win, at least...
  17. So... keep 4 guys?
  18. The worst part isn’t even getting beat by a s***** team. It’s getting repeatedly beat by the s***** hitters on a s***** team like Jansen and Drury...
  19. Or the good news - maybe Henry will finally hire a GM after firing or killing or imprisoning Dombrowski or whatever he clearly did to him. Because if he hasn’t fired Dombrowski and DD is capable of doing his job, he needs to be fired. Badly...
  20. If DD was making moves and they weren’t panning out, I’d be sympathetic. But that he keeps up this status quo as the entire season gets more difficult every day is just flat out negligent...
  21. Technically not a Sox farm product. The Sox acquired him from the Yankees for Mike Stanley, I believe...
  22. At this point, I’ll settle for proof of life from DD...
  23. Can you blame him?
  24. All for trying. No expectations, but the worst thing is Brock/Nunez getting benched for a while. DD has been steadfast in not making moves this year...
