    And no one cared about QBR

    Houck just isn’t a SP. Ditto Whitlock, for different reasons. There’s nothing wrong with that, but the issue is they’re both more in the rotation by default. I am hoping the Sox move both to the bullpen and Paxton and Bello can take over the starting roles. I have my doubts Cora and Bloom see it that way, however…

    1. One game out. 2. Bader, Trivino and Rodon have combined to appear in two games this year. Yet still one game out. 3. Who exactly are you going to sell? The only pending free agents on the team not wearing slings are Wandy Peralta and IKF. Not much of a firesale…

    The Yankees are ONE GAME out of the playoff picture!!

    Old school logic is you don’t pinch hit for the catcher, because if your second catcher gets hurt, you have to scramble to see who owns a mitt, since almost no teams carry 3 catchers. However, this did become less of a c C in ren once home plate collisions were banned…

    So… you’re saying German’s horseshoes are better?

    Especially considering the Sox haven’t played a single game against a team that’s in lower than third place…

    Some of that was their own undoing. Judge has spent nearly one-third of the season (or more) on the IL three times in the previous six years. Stanton can’t stay healthy. Adding Rondon to those two was basically asking for that honor…

    I think “clutch” means succeeding in a crucial situation. The debate was never about that happening vs not happening, but whether or not it was a skill. To me, there was always a strong overlap between players who repeatedly succeeded in crucial situations and players who repeatedly succeeded overall…

    It’s not really a head scratcher; he was like 5th on the depth chart and they got there fast. And the charge was neglect; letting Judge go was only arguably neglect. Certainly keeping him wasn’t…

    For some folks, that’s what forums are for. And if it keeps you from drinking heavily or snorting Robitussin or juggling live hamsters, or what never your vice of choice is, I can understand that…

    He wasn’t traded away like the others…

    Excerpt their GM spent $400mill on a 31yo right fielder. Not really neglect…

    And if we give Winckowski the 6th inning and Martin the 5th inning and Crawford the 4th inning, we only need 3 IP from our starters…

    Denlinger also makes more horseshoes than German…

    I’m going to say something I haven’t said on over 3 years. But maybe, just maybe turning down Brusdar Graterol was the right move…

    If they can ever get a rotation of Sale, Kluber, Paxton, Bello and Pivetta, the remaining bullpen (Jansen, Martin, Whitlock, Houck, Rodriguez, Winckowski, Schreiber and Crawford) should be flat out trouble for opposing hitters. Of course it would be shocking if those 13 pitchers were all healthy all at once…

    I prefer both Whitlock and Houck in the bullpen, but not because of their track records as starters. I just really like the idea of a shutdown bullpen making the game 5-6 innings long for opposing hitters every night. Winckowski and Schreiber are doing that job, so to me it’s like Whitlock and Houck are pitching where needed. It’s nice to see some progress from Houck. But I think most of the “Whitlock to the pen” crowd is focusing on his health and injuries. And they do have a point…

    Reynolds’ DRS and UZR numbers suggest Reynolds does play CF, but don’t support that he can. At least not very well. It’s not even certain Verdugo can get to that -19DRS mark, let alone do it in as few innings…

    The Sox are 6-4 in their last 10. That’s really the goal of every team, to win 6 games out of every 10 all season long. It’s a ridiculous pace, believe it or not. And one 6-4 stretch (out of 16!!) isn’t enough, but I do like it so far…
