    The ghost runner isn’t an excuse. It’s not like the existence of the ghost runner should have been a surprise to Cora. He chose the less effective pitcher for a tougher spot. And given how Barnes pitched in the second half, I don’t even think right-handed hitters offer much justification. Just because Barnes is right-handed doesn’t make him the right guy to face Guerrero, Kirk, etc. with the winning run in scoring position…

    But you think they are DFAing Arroyo? I think they DFA Reyes because he does stand a decent chance of clearing waivers unclaimed and cannot refuse assignment..

    More likely Reyes DFA…

    As deserving as it would be, they are not DFAing Kike…

    Every team does. For every success, you can find two misses…

    His stuff played up quite well in a bullpen role in 2021. It seems like if the goal was to stretch Houck out, starter would be the best way, as opposed to compromising the bullpen to develop one pitcher…

    Mostly because he hadn’t been an effective MLB relief pitcher for about 6 months at that time. He wasn’t left off the postseason roster because he was just too good…

    You’re sucking away the credibility of the CDT. Even Bloom’s staunchest supporters have called him out on a few things. So now Cora’s questionable use of Barnes in extra innings is the fault of the team for not winning sooner?

    Managing IP is one thing. But Hill had two back-to-back starts where he threw 9IP, 0ER, 2H, 1BB, 10K and only totaled 134 pitches. And he was not happy to be pulled in either game. His IP were ovvermanaged. And to designate Houck - clearly one of the best arms in the pen - as his sole piggyback was a waste of Houck. And the goal isn’t to keep Hill’s stats better. Was over-limiting Hill and tying up Houck as his dedicated RP a good strategy or not?

    1. They only played 6 extra inning games during that stretch. Barnes took 3 10th innings and was ineffective in all of them. 2. In two of the three, he did not finish and was relieved, which means he wasn’t the last reliever available. (Strahm, who was the Sox best RP in the early part of last season, relieved him in one of those two.)

    Of course Toronto and New York - the two paper favorites - look significantly worse on the field, especially when playing the Red Sox…

    No. This is like 20-30 people. At least active. (And the actual point was about simply making up a number in the mob that shares your opinion.) But now you’re saying EVERYONE not in TalkSox agrees with you?

    K/BB is also very good. I like pitchers with high Zone % and low Contact %. That tends me they throw strikes no one can hit…

    But it’s not finished yet, and as they are 1 game behind NY and 2 games being Toronto, those teams might not be as good as you think…

    Yeah then it’s definitely not PC…

    I went over 85. I’m hopeful but it’s not going to be easy…

    Me too. Except comparatively I make Chang look like Babe Ruth…

    Absolutely!! I don’t get why you’re not there now!!

    Bloom will take a MI in the first round. The MI talent in this draft is too topheavy…

    You do realize that’s essentially how we got him, right? They didn’t have to use the first overall pick. Washington could have grabbed, say, Ryan Noda. And then taken Ort at #2

    Isn’t that Russia?

    Worth noting - both JT Realmuto and Brandon Inge were drafted as shortstops and then converted to catcher. I’m sure there are others…

    And millions more who think you’re just flat out silly. What’s your point? That you’re the majority and you will be staking that claim until someone proves you wrong? I suppose we can all make up the size of the mob that backs our opinions. Except the one about you making up the phrase “Red Sox Nation.” Pretty sure you’re alone there…
  25. notin
    I’m ok with that. The big disagreement is the timetable for the results…
