    First, it was a dumb idea to put the DH in one league only. What other sports have that king of major rule changes between leagues and conferences? Can you imagine if the NFC dropped punting and you could only punt in AFC stadiums? Or if the Western Conference in the NBA allowed 6 players on the court? It’s one sport! But more important, pitchers stopped taking hitting seriously a long time ago. And if they got on base, they put on a jacket! Basically saying “yeah I’m on base. Not sure how, but know this - I’m not going to even try out here.” And then they f***ing jogged!! Universal DH all the way. And with it, I am much more accepting of inter league play…

    Inter league play was annoying when the leagues played under different rules, which itself was a stupid situation. It’s more acceptable now…

    Ortiz did lefties a little better than Devers, but also - 45 PA. If Devers did hit a home run last night instead of striking out, his OPS would have gone up to about .820…

    And if we win tonight, we need to buy it all back, right? SAVE THISE RECEIPTS!!

    Ditch inter league play and play the rest of your league 11 times each for a return to a more traditional 154 games…

    Or maybe that the one at bat people are over-examining from yesterday came against a LHP (Aaron Bummer) who has held lefties to a .543 OPS over his career. All of those home runs against Washington came against RHP…
  7. notin
    How many of those have come against LHP? He’s always fared worse against them and with 2 outs it’s very easy for an opposing manager to bring one in with no concerns…
  8. notin
    Really? These guys so far have only struck out 20% of the time. Dalbec has been striking out over 50% of the time for two years running…

    They did what they could, but with 3 wild cards, the likelihood of sending the top 6 teams goes up significantly. Whereas before teams got an unfair advantage solely based on geography…
  10. notin
    All for it. Although it doesn’t work out so simply with 162 games…
  11. notin
    But the division arrangement gives some teams an unfair advantage. The Blue Jays were the third wild card in the AL last year but they won more games than the AL Central champion Twins…

    Don’t blame me. Blame the duckhead who put the “i” and the “u” next to each other on the keyboard…

    No because of how they phrase it. A team finishing 84-78 is said to be 6 games above .500. But an 81-81 team is only 3 games behind them despite being .500. Where did those other 3 games go? Did the bellhop take them?

    You'd have to ask Lugo. If you need to find him, look on base. He's there about 43% of the time...
  15. notin
    Lugo is making a strong bud to grab opposing scouts’ attention. No one listed Fitts. Untouchable?
  16. notin
    Not a surprise. Gray was the AL Cy Younnf runner-up, AL ERA runner-up, and got MVP votes…

    Most likely the Sox will be in between, since they have been for the past two years. My biggest question isn’t if they buy, but what they buy with. The sell plans are always obvious…
  18. notin
    I just wonder if the Sox are in the hunt at the deadline, what prospects that other teams will actually want would be considered the best trade fodder. If we assume Anthony, Mayer and Teel are untouchable, who should the Sox trade?
  19. notin
    But you will allow the rest of us to discuss it if we want to?
  20. notin
    I know. It’s cheap but I’m not on board with this development.
  21. notin
    I think his ranking in the Sox system also equaled the ranking of another dealt prospect in another system. He’s an ok prospect, but he was with the Sox before Bloom…

    I guess I will call it good scouting by the Cardinals. Neither Roby nor Saggese were top 100 prospects anywhere when the deal was made, but both made the BA Top 100 list before the 2024 season…

    Yes, yes. Lots of things can happen. Winning 59.5 games is actually not one of them. You don’t make projections as a prediction, just for perspective of current performance on a larger scale. I mean, the Sox have played 6 out of 35 games against the last place Angels, which puts them “on pace” to play the Angels 28 times, and we all are fairly certain that isn’t going to happen. But recognizing that they’ve played one-sixth(ish) of their games against that struggling last place team might sway the perspective of some…

    Did the Sox try to deal Paulino last year? I don’t remember him being in any actual rumors…
  25. notin
    Right now they are on pace to be 9 games over .500, with a record of 58.5-49.5. So if they keep this up and have 58 or 59 wins, should they buy? To me it also matters who is still healthy, how far out of it they are, and how many teams they need to pass...
