If we just get Cabrera (or Lopez or Luzardo or Garrett or Rogers), I’ll be happy…
-
I’d rather gamble on Syndergaard than find an ace that wowed me and sign him to a Gerrit Cole contract…
-
Mixed emotions on Syndergaard. If he can pitch like 2018-2019 Syndergaard or better yet 2016 - he would be great. But he’s been average to below since for a variety of reasons and he’s already taken a one year “show me” contract. With the Syndergaarden Cop, the shorter the deal the better. And that makes him a tough sign, because someone else will always pay more for his name…

It’s become obvious Old Red is rooting for the Sox to lose in hopes they fire Bloom and stop using those pesky analytics. The problem is the days of the non-analytical GM are, as Old Red would say, going, going GONE. And not only are they never coming back, any new GM brought in is likely to be even MORE analytics-based…
-
Keep it simple. Not even sure they want to move two arms. I think the Marlins want to capitalize on their surplus and remove an arbitration case, but I don’t think they want to deplete their pitching…
-
Now see I missed him every time the camera panned to Jarren Duran…
-
Just make a list of every prospect that you think should be untouchable, and then decide which of them to trade…
-
I’my saying he not a liar. I’m just saying on some statements it’s a bit early to make that call…
-
Free agency only offers a few tempting bullpen arms. If you’re looking to add a starter, the best place to start is Miami, who has said Sandy Alcantara and Eury Perez are untouchable, but is willing to listen on Pablo Lopez, Edward Cabrera, Trevor Rogers, Braxton Garrett Jesus Luzardo, and Sixto Sanchez. BTV says Ceddane Rafaela for Cabrera is a fair trade. But supposedly their deadline prices for Lopez were “outrageous”, so this might get costly. Or maybe Rafaela for Sanchez is more realistic, but only if Sanchez can get and hopefully stay healthy….

9/09 SOX @ O's 7:05PM ET

Starting with you. I brought up that this team and payroll are still 50% inherited - a situation that was far, far, far worse when Bloom took over - but nope. It’s been 3 years and that means Bloom signed Sale and Martinez and all those bad deals… -
I think Cohen wants him as a headline-stealing Met. And he has shown he’ll pay for anything…
-
I’ll make the least bold prediction on this subject: Judge will play in New York next season. I’m not going to specify which team…
-
Now the problem they have is, with the season he’s having, how can do they afford to let him go?
-
That he turned down 7 years $30mill+ AAV and has had an injury-plagued decade on his 20s speaks very, very badly for his future…
-
And by “about Judge like the plague” I mean avoid him. He’s the Mother of All Albatross Contracts waiting to happen. Also I left Wacha off my list. He’s a must…
-
My thoughts are about Judge like the plague. I’d focus on a few from the set of Nimmo, Bogaerts, Correa, Swanson, Fulmer, R Montero, Treinen, E Diaz (assuming he’s available), Bell, Mancini, Wong, Frazier, and a few others I have yet to form opinions about…
-
The entire point Kike is making us Bloom is promising to be very active this off-season. He’s also not even allowed to talk about signing Judge right now, as that would be tampering. He can only talk to Sox players. I think we need to at least wait until March to call him a liar…
-
So… you’re a troll…
-
Again - you missed the point..
-
Mike Hargrove was the worst. His nickname - well earned at that - was The Human Rain Delay…
-
There is one? And they penalize the pitcher for taking too long?
-
Great. Of course we were talking about the little cheat cards. Not sure if this has sunk into your brain cell yet, but I don’t care that the shift is gone. I care that MLB is making rules to ban strategies and not doing the stuff they need to do to speed up the game. For example, we get a 3 batter minimum rule so managers don’t change too many pitchers in an inning and slow the game down. Why don’t we get a pitch clock? Did you know there are rules in the MLB rulebook for how long a pitcher can hold the ball? Why in all these attempts to speed up the game do they ignore the clock? It seems like they’re going to limit pitchers to 3 throws to first to hold a runner before they put in a pitch clock. No idea why MLB is so deadset against this…
-
I think just not signing and re-signing oft-injured pitchers would be enough…
-
Their good spurts typically coincided with good health. They were playing well in May and June because they were a better team. To call it a lucky schedule because the team played nearly .700 baseball is just ignorant of how good and how bad baseball teams are. I mean, for all this “back to reality” ******** you keep pushing, did you even realize the Sox are over .500 since their 10-19 start? But - let me guess - the Sox could finish 81-81 and in last place, you’ll (emphatically) call them a last place team and never once refer to them as a .500 team..

How does the umpire change that confrontation, besides serving as a distraction? I’m not convinced that having the home plate umpire make the determination for himself or receive a verbal cue about whether or not a pitch is in the strike zone creates this radical difference. Bear in mind 1. The home plate umpire will still be on the field making ball and strike calls. Also calling plays at the plate. 2. Calling balls and strikes is insanely difficult and also very important to the game. 3. It could eliminate stupid arguments. Sure players will try but the ump will just shrug his shoulders and point to his earpiece. End of argument.
