Not as well as Dombrowski’s, obviously. What’s your point? If teams do poorly, they’re NOT going to abandon analytics. They might alter which ones they use and/or how often. But no one is going back to the pre-1880 Stone Age with no analytics…
-
Huh? I’d bet more teams use them now than before. Do people think Dombrowski doesn’t have an analytics team? And that guys like Bloom are the fringey rebellious upstart outsiders using math and data? That’s the norm! Heck, sites like Fangraphs and give fans access to data. In fact, things kind of thing has been around baseball longer than you realize and isn’t going anywhere. Except forward…

And Cashman has one ring since Bill Clinton was President…

Well, maybe you hated Cora, but you’ll learn to live Gallo
-
Not sure why you keep bringing that up. BTV also approved dealing Devers to Seattle for a pair of 28yo middle relievers in Penn Murfee and Erik Swanson. But no way Boston would do that for multiple reasons. BTV also approved Duran to the outfield-needy White Sox straight up for one year of RHRP Reynaldo Lopez. I’d do it if I was the Red Sox. I’m hesitant (but not immediately out. Maybe.) if I’m the White Sox…
-
I think you’ll be equally disappointed with Gallo in RF, Hernandez in CF and whoever in LF…
-
Downs hasn’t hit, but he can field. Duran does neither. Of Cordero, Downs and Duran, I think Duran is by far the worst overall player. I also for some reason think he’s the least likely to get DFAd. I have to be wrong about that. Am I?
-
I think Fangraphs’ Dave Cameron said it best when he said “the eye test usually boils down to fans saying ‘I saw that guy make an error once’.”
-
You absolutely didn’t like my prediction of Gallo. You’ve said it’s wrong multiple times. Ok - let’s hear your prediction? Or heck, your preference. It’s all fine out here in Anonymous Internet Forum Land…
-
Jose Alvarado was throwing 95mph change ups. Don’t you think timing a curveball gets a little dicey when you just faced a pitcher who throws 95mph when he’s holding back?
-
If he does, I prefer it be with another team. I’m hoping he gets dealt, but not sure why anyone would want him. You’d think his speed would be a selling point - and maybe it is - but I doubt it’s enough to entice anyone to deal anything worthwhile for him. I know the Sox won’t just DFA him, but Duran is looking like a waste of a 40 man roster spot. Is he really worth keeping over DFA-likely Franchy Cordero?
-
Dude, if you don’t like my predictions, let’s hear yours. Just saying “You’re wrong” brings nothing to the conversation…
-
I do too. In would probably trade the two players drafted for Nimmo. But I don’t think Bloom will…
-
His “eye test” is just reading Tony Massarotti talking points…
-
Ok, but not like you ever cut anything else. Maybe RBIs and other stats that depends on other players…
-
That’s more To hitting than the widely flawed batting average. Gallo had a bad 2022, but he is a good player very likely to be undervalued. He also scores will on at least one metric we know Bloom uses. There’s reasons to believe I am right here. Repeatedly saying “Gallo sucks” doesn’t change that Gallo is good. It just makes it look like you only know BA…
-
Well if you love Renfroe, probably worth noting he’s a worse hitter for his career than the younger Gallo. Worse defender too. So if you actually hated that trade, you really shouldn’t mind Gallo…
-
So in tonight’s game, they were talking about Zack Wheeler’s arsenal, and they should him throwing his 4 seamer, 2 seamer and slider all superimposed on to the same delivery so it looks like he is throwing 3 pitches at once. My wife saw this and sarcastically remarked “So is that how they’re going to speed up baseball next year?”
-
Are you even remotely familiar with the career of Hunter Renfroe?
-
1. One would think as an admitted Bloom Critic, you’d welcome predictions that you found to be detrimental. 2. So now you’re telling people they can’t make predictions? WTF else is there to do between now and April? Tell you what, Commandant Red, why don’t you post your approved rules for topics this off-season?
-
I do too, but Nimmo likely gets a QO, which costs the Sox two draft picks. Gallo isn’t even eligible for one…
-
Jimmy the Greek? What’s your point? That people who aren’t that incompetent boob of an oddsmaker shouldn’t make predictions? Gallo’s BA was down last year, but he has a .351 OBP as recently as 2021. OBP is much more telling than batting average…
-
He’s a very good defensive RF, which teams could use in Boston, as Fenway is very spacious there. Baseball isn’t all about batting averages. Also, since you clearly didn’t notice - THIS IS A PREDICTION . Not a wish list. See, a prediction is what I think will[ happen. A wish list is what I want to happen. Let me know if you need smaller words…
-
Even with his elite walk rate, Gallo is all but a guarantee to struggle with OBP…
-
Unless they noticed he already had them. Sale was hurt when he signed, which was probably why he signed such a short deal…
