    Is he healthy?

    What happened to Pivetta? If Cora is bumping him back for the Yankee series, I could see that. Although I’d rather he faced the Rays…
  3. notin
    I see. That would crimp using him today. Crawford is available and he might be a bulk guy today with Davis just functioning as an opener..

    Bello. Not that I’d expect him to shut down Tampa, but every inning he gives you is one less inning from the bullpen. And as questionable as the Sox pen has been, they’ll be needed for this entire series so trying to get 9 IP from them today only weakens the pen for tomorrow and Wednesday…

    He’s in the same boat non-virtually as well…

    The decision to go with a pen game makes me seriously question Cora…

    BTV turned down Mayer, Casas, Yorke,Bello, Duran, and Dalbec for Soto, due to the lack of a headliner with enough value…

    Well if he only cost $4mill over Turner. But at some point, I expect the Dodgers to dial back. They have players like Will Smith, Julio Urias and Walker Buehler due large arbitration raises that they have to deal with one way or another…

    You’re both wrong. While an excellent defensive CF, I don’t think Kike is so clearly better out there over not only Bradley, but also Fred Lynn and the oft-forgotten Coco Crisp. And to call a player who appeared in over 400 games for the Dodgers a “4th outfielder/5th infielder” strikes me as disingenuous and an attempt to undersell the contributions of a very important player on a very successful team. He was third in games played over that stretch. If he was a utility infielder, what was Justin Turner? A 25th roster spot with All Star game experience?
  10. notin
    Yeah yeah yeah. And they were supposed to struggle on the West Coast, too…
  11. notin
    My bad. The thread topic got the best of me…

    He’s made a lot of chatter about rebuilding while buying this year, as well..
  13. notin
    He absolutely could be worse with the bat than JBJ; he isn’t a 31yo minor league journeyman because he’s too good of a hitter and fielder…

    The interesting point is that St Louis is maybe one game better than Boston and Philly and SF are worse. Beyond the two game panic, why are we selling while those teams are buying? The whole notion that “Bloom won’t let Bogaerts go for nothing” is just more Tampa North. Apparently having the 6th highest payroll and adding a nine-figure free agent contract just isn’t enough to make people overlook that Bloom ran a small market team and therefore prioritizes the minors over MLB, even if it means tanking a winning Red Sox season at the All Star break. Did he trade ERod at the deadline last year? Or let him go for nothing? In fact the notion that Bogaerts would go “for nothing” is erroneous; the Sox will have received 9 seasons of quality MLB baseball out of him…

    Not at all what was said…

    I doubt the Sox get an OF for the following reasons 1. Kike isn’t dead. 2. I’m not sure they care about Bradley’s OPS as much as we do, especially with Refsnyder playing part time. They didn’t trade for Bradley because of his bat. 3. Getting a real 1b enables them to return Cordero to the OF.

    At some point, the Dodgers will reach a budget limit…

    Offense especially and defense were problems tonight
  19. notin
    Is he supposed to kidnap them? That you said “signed Josh Bell” actually takes credibility away from you. It’s ok to be frustrated. But there’s no need to be ignorant about this stuff…
  20. notin
    True. But right now Cora appears to have a “f*** It” squad that he uses together consisting of Robles, Danish, and Diekman. Apparently his logic is why waste even a semi-effective reliever if one of these guys is going to blow the game anyway? But Cora, particularly with his usage of Houck and lately Robles, is far from blame-free with this bullpen..
  21. notin
    2020 as well…
  22. notin
    Yes. And he needs to stop doing that, although it wasn’t the question. And Cora is the one who puts him in…
  23. notin
    The GM doesn’t put relievers into games…
  24. notin
    Well then tell me what contenders are looking for unproductive shortstops…
  25. notin
    Yes it is truly awful that his teams have a .564 winning pct covering the last two seasons. I know it’s not exactly Dombrowski, whose first two seasons soared to a .574 winning pct, making them a whopping 1% better. But I think we can adjust…
