After 3 starts in 2018, Sale had a 1.06 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 12.2K/9. I’m not positive yet, but I don’t think he’s been replicating those numbers...

I look at it this way. The staff will pitch about 1450IP in a season. The rotation will pitch about 800 of those. The bullpen is left with the other 650. So they already are going to handle over 40% of the innings. Using 3 or 4 pitchers every now and then takes them out of the next game or two, which means the starters need to go more than their 5-6IP in those starts or use the recently overworked bullpen. Now with these early season off days, it worked out. But as the season goes on, it’s a bad idea to shift more IP from that 800IP bucket to the 650 IP bucket. Especially considering one is only expecting about 60-70IP apiece from each reliever, already leaving the non-rostered relievers to pick up nearly 150-200IP over the course of a season...

Bad accountant jokes. Nothing about an upcoming Price hike?
-
Exactly. Which is why using the bullpen for an entire game every now and then is unnecessarily taxing...
-
Agreed. Once? Sure. Multiple times? Not a smart strategy...

If that’s the case, our GM/President is an idiot... -
But I was kidding. I don’t see any hope at all ...

No but when my earwax builds up, my vision gets so acute I see a glimmer of hope for you and your your stalkee crush...

Can we dispel the myth that when you loose one sense, the others get heightened to compensate? It’s really only true about eyesight. If you lose your sense of smell, you don’t start seeing better...

Robot “trade JBJ” threads now!!

The cold weather can cause pitchers’ muscles to tighten up quicker. Especially those who insist on always wearing short sleeves...

A lot of voters wouldn’t vote for a player just because no one had ever gotten a unanimous vote before. That’s hopefully over now. There was absolutely no reason to NOT vote for Cal Ripken or Ken Griffey Jr...

He’s 26 years old and has more career fWAR than several Hall of Famers. Sure he will make outs and have the occasion 0-fer, but that doesn’t make him overrated..

Like Florida State?
-
Or Atlanta with Minter and Vizcaino. Or Philly with Robertson and Dominguez. It's getting to be a more common set up...

Not to mention, there is a big difference between "ignoring catcher defense" and wanting a catcher who can do both...
-
But this is just a hypothesis...
-
The entire Sox starting rotation has been getting hammered like a fraternity pledge on Jell-O shot night. Why wouldn’t Cora give someone else a chance? What’s the worst that could happen? The other team’s batting average suffers?
-
So you’re leaving the Vazquez train, mal? Personally I always felt he filled the profile of a backup catcher. And this is one area the Sox could have tried to upgrade in...

He’s aware of this as both posted on BDC. So it’s not like he can claim ignorance...

The Alex Cora Managerial Decision Thread
notin replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Nobody should ever be crowned “best ever” at anything after their first try... -
Especially when you look at how concussions have completely derailed some careers, like those of Justin Morneau and Jason Bay...

As a doofus, this offends me...
-
The only people who think he’s any good are Dojii and Dombrowski. And we can excuse Dojii, since he’s not part of the decision making process...

A lesson learned after 2013...
