The wall was much closer to the balls back then…
-
It’s very likely both Houck and Crawford are two starters. I think the hope is Houck can become a lesser version of Justin Steele, as both have a similar repertoire…
-
He might have, but I have no idea of he was willing to or not. And he refuses to answer my texts. (Although I should probably acknowledge there is a slight chance the number I randomly chose might not be him.)
-
(Except for that NTC Splinter brought up and I looked into.)
-
I do not see the Sox outbidding the pack for Yamamoto, whose stock just got that much better with the recent news about Julio Urias. I could see 30yo LHRP Shota Imanaga as a potential Sox target…
-
Bogaerts did have a no trade clause…
-
I can see teams being hesitant to take on the $7mill or so of JD regardless of the asking price in return. If Bloom really wanted to get under, Bogaerts would have been the smarter chip to deal. Even 5 months after the deadline, the best JD was able to get was a one year $10mill contract. If no one wanted him for more than $10 mill for a full season, it stands to reason that interest in him at $7mill for two months was not all that high. Bogaerts on the other hand would have been easily movable…
-
They might have actually tried that. The 2022 JD Martinez want exactly a hot commodity…
-
I questioned using a Jansen in the 7-3 game. I suppose he really did need the work -
If your gripe is that they didn’t score, the acceptable argument upon being proven wrong is not “but they didn’t score well enough.” I mean, you’re trying to argue that the offense and not the defense was the problem in a game that went to extra innings after Wilyer Abreu fell down losing a potential inning-ending routine fly ball in the dome roof that went for a run scoring triple and was part of a 3 run inning…
-
The Sox scored the ghost runner in the 11th inning…
-
Or we’d be making the same posts with $70mill over 4. Eflin didn’t want Boston. He wanted Tampa…
-
Not if Tampa matched…
-
Hey larger deficits have been overcome in less time…
-
Or maybe that just puts him in Tampa longer. The bottom line is Eflin clearly wanted to play in Tampa. Boston was clearly not his one first choice. Why are people trying to force it to be?
-
Also the Sox walked away from Wacha (as did several teams, per MLBTR) when he initially asked for $30mill over 2 years…
-
The bigger yikes was stopping there. The problem wasn’t getting Kluber; the problem was getting only Kluber…
-
I can pass on Eflin due to the uncertainty and the situation. And I don’t mind Kluber, because I don’t judge moves on hindsight, and Kluber certainly have reasons in 2022 to indicate he’d at least be a competent signing. But ignoring the pitching at the trade deadline for the second year in a row was beyond my comprehension.
-
Not on 100 groundballs he won’t…
-
Shortstop B gets 90 outs. That works too. If you need to know runs and runner placement, I’d use the basic Runs Created formula (hits+walks)*total bases/PA. If you treat the two base errors like doubles, you still wind up with half as many runs created (2 to 4). Shortstop B might make errors, but he’s far better than Shortstop A…
-
The one you can’t blame him for is Eflin. The guy wanted to go to Tampa. Reportedly he never gave Bloom a chance to counter…
-
Don’t choke Bryce Harper. His reputation is undeserved. But feel free to choke Papelbon and let the student become the master…
-
The poster using him doesn’t have his own opinions so he likes to cite players and (for some reason) journalists so he can tell you you’re wrong. Of course he doesn’t listen when those same types of sources counter whatever point he is trying to make…
-
Ok All hits go for one base. All errors got for two. I would argue you didn’t really “need” more info…
-
Let me see. What happens if someone looks at one scenario at the most positive extreme, looks at the other scenario at the most negative extreme, and then blames a completely irrelevant metric? Is that the question? If so, I guess my answer is I blame the schools…
