Huh? O’Neill singled to start the rally and scored on Westbrook’s home run…
-
I thought you meant that .218 was the best any hitter on the Sox did vs LHP…
-
It’s also not true https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&season=2024&season1=2024&ind=0&team=3&type=8&month=13&qual=1&sortcol=12&sortdir=default&pagenum=1

I’d take a healthy Paxton, as long as he isn’t the only pitching add. He’s a better fifth starter than Criswell…
-
Not replacing Giolito was definitely a poor choice that has very, very likely already negatively impacted this season…
-
Please don’t compare rolling the dice on Paxton at $7mill to rolling the dice on Sale at $27.5mill. Not to mention, they just DFAd Paxton. That low risk dice role came to a premature conclusion…
-
Shocking. He won’t clear waivers. Expect a trade in the next 3 days…
-
Damn straight I’m waving them. The joy is in the journey, not reaching the destination…
-
Find out what? That they’re at least as capable of blowing it up as Weissert? The bar is pretty low here…
-
I would hope so
-
But Paxton is only worth 0.4 bWAR so far this year, which is not comparable to Sale. In fact, he still has more bWAR from 2020-2023 than this year, which is also unlike Sale. Paxton has reduced IP over the past 3 seasons, but he hasn’t bounced back to All Star/Cy Young levels like Sale. Not even close…
-
Actually, this makes sense as to why Jansen pitched last night. Once again, Cora knows the staff better than me. Although why he blatantly refuses to use Horn and Anderson while relying heavily on Weissert is still unexplained…
-
As much as they bother me sometimes, I’m going to defend the whiners. For some (maybe most?), it’s cathartic to type out some post-loss negativity on here, and if it keeps you from kicking the dog or deep-frying your daughter’s Guinea pig, the one with the white feet, not the other one, then I understand and support it. And if your negativity bothers me, that’s on me. And I can occasionally counter the negativity with truth-based reality if I think such a thing exists. Of course, every now and then I need a catharthis myself…

What’s wrong with Duran’s .678? Carl Yastrzemski had a lifetime OPS of .693 against LHP. The Sox do need to add a RHH to the lineup at some point to stop the bleeding vs LHP. But a .678 is closer to average than problematic…
-
The bullpen has been a pleasant surprise this year, but it’s false to say Breslow didn’t add to it. Slaten was added by Breslow. Also he prematurely added potential replacements for Jansen and Martin in Hendriks and Fulmer. He also added Chase Anderson, Weissert, Booser, and Uwasawa. And he’s been looking into arms all season, adding players like Horn, Wingenter, Speas, Keller, etc. Of course now is the time to add another arm to a frail and tired bullpen…
-
Bad trade? So far, yes. But give it time. Has your opinion of the Bradley/Renfroe trade changed now that Hamilton looks like an actual ball player?
-
That’s the type of trade any team makes. You have a pitcher who makes a ton of money (in this case roughly $27.5 mill) and has barely pitched in the past 4 years (150 IP total) and really, wasn’t all that great the last time he did pitch a full season back in 2019. His comeback has been remarkable and is probably unprecedented. In 2/3 of a season, Sale has already racked up 3.1 bWAR. From 2020-2023, he only accumulated 2.6 bWAR. And at age 35! If I asked you to find another player who accumulated more bWAR before the All Star game than he did in total from ages 31 through 34, how long is that list? Especially after you remove the players who missed time for active military duty? And with this season not done, if Sale is worth another 1.6 bWAR the rest of the way, he will have the same bWAR total this year as he had for all of 2019 through 2023 combined. That’s beyond unprecedented…
-
There are still 10 more days. They’re just going to ignore them? If anything this series highlighted the reason to add help. They did have the lead in the 8th and 9th inning of the first two games and lost them both…
-
I’ll give him the Go. It was a groundout, but he hustled it out…
-
Can Yoshida repeat his NY Miracle?
-
I cannot believe the tying run is at the plate in this very one-sided game…
-
The Dodgers gave up on Jansen years ago. Estevez might be on their radar. Chase Anderson hasn’t pitched since July 10. He’d be almost be done with an IL stint if he was actually injured. And what’s Cora’s Problem with Winckowski? Doesn’t like that he got these Dodgers out?
-
Managerial help? WTF is Cora doing? Better get Horn out of there! Gotta keep him fresh so he can pitch again in 15 days!! And why use Chase Anderson when Kenley has been warming up all weekend?
-
I did include him. I figure Kershaw (75.8 fWAR), Freeman (60.5 fWAR) and Betts (58.5 fWAR) are all locks. Not sure anyone else measures up…
-
A Bailey Horn sighting!!!! That’s rarer than seeing Bigfoot playing footsy with the Loch Ness Monster!! Now why this rare even couldn’t have happened in the 10th inning last night is a mystery that will never be solved…
