  1. Do the Red Sox have a controllable bat to spare? https://www.lookoutlanding.com/2023/8/10/23826775/the-mariners-have-drafted-and-developed-an-entire-rotation-in-just-five-years
  2. Over the past two seasons Kutter Crawford has tossed 10 shutout innings in Seattle. The T-Mobile Park crowd has awakened.
  3. In attendance on a beautiful August afternoon to watch my floundering Mariners.😟
  4. The Seattle lineup is missing Teoscar Hernandez, who apparently remains a Mariner despite swirling trade rumors: https://www.marinertalk.com/download/file.php?id=8413&mode=view
  5. A healthy Luis Arias could be a great asset.
  6. MLB Trade Rumors rarely offers original reporting. It's an aggregator that relays secondhand information that typically originates from an organization that employs real reporters. MLBTR sells goods produced by others by summarizing under a Fair Use Doctrine. The original source does not complain if MLBTR provides a link that increases traffic to the original source. In recent years MLB Trade Rumors has offered some analysis and commentary that can be distinguished from reporting.
  7. Today the Mariners sold off their expendables, not their core. Should be a good series. For the second straight year this poster will be treated to a Kutter Crawford start at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. The righthander did fine last year: MLB Gameday: Red Sox 2, Mariners 0 Final Score (06/12/2022) | MLB.com WWW.MLB.COM Follow MLB results with FREE box scores, pitch-by-pitch strikezone info, and Statcast data for Red Sox vs. Mariners at T-Mobile Park Paul Sewald, who was traded today, surrendered a two-run homer to Rafael Devers for the game's only runs.
  8. Unlikely Yankee trade target: https://www.pinstripealley.com/2023/7/28/23809494/yankees-mlb-trade-deadline-red-sox-rotation-lefty-starting-pitcher-fastball-cutter-curveball

  10. The minor league comps of lefthand-hitting Triston Casas and Seattle's Jarred Kelenic, who were born six months apart and who were taken out of high school with the 26th and sixth picks of the June 2018 draft: TC 284 G, .269/.374/.485/.858 JK 289 G, .295/.369/.540/.909 Kelenic was nearly written off after his historically dismal first two MLB seasons but has rebounded with a 135 OPS+ and 1.6 bWAR so far this year.
  11. That makes two of us.
  12. A tip of the cap to the Red Sox.
  13. Last night Cal Raleigh became the first catcher in Fenway Park history to homer from both sides of the plate in a single game. Take that, Jason Varitek.
  14. FWIW entering Tuesday's games the Seattle Mariners ranked sixth in MLB in run differential: https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/run-differential
  15. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Enough to prompt one fan's exodus.
  16. FWIW FanGraphs currently gives the Red Sox a 26.9 percent chance and the Seattle Mariners a 28.6 percent chance of advancing to the postseason: https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds A year ago the Mariners came into Fenway Park with a humble 17-21 record and left 17-25 after a four-game Red Sox sweep.

  19. A year ago the Mariners came into Fenway Park with a 17-21 record and left 17-25 after being swept by the Red Sox.
  20. A Seattle perspective on the Red Sox series: https://www.lookoutlanding.com/2023/5/15/23724374/series-preview-seattle-mariners-at-boston-red-sox-may-2023
  21. Audit a free online course in sport analytics: https://www.edx.org/course/sport-analytics-data-driven-decision-making
  22. FWIW the thread was started in General Baseball Forum, not the Talk Sox Forum, because of the broad scope of the book Winning Fixes Everything.
  23. The incident was no secret in when the Red Sox rehired Alex Cora In November 2020: https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2017/12/alex_cora_boston_red_sox_manag_2.html ... and the Boston front office almost certainly was aware of the incident when Cora was originally hired in October 2017. The Red Sox brain trust saw enough in Cora to hire him regardless. Mere speculation but the parties likely addressed the behavior and agreed to specific conditions of employment. Winning Fixes Everything is not a book about Alex Cora; it's a detailed examination of the evolving culture of the Houston Astros and Major League Baseball. Read it.
  24. The reported drunken incident involving Alex Cora was buried in a 329-book about the culture of a Houston Astros franchise that went from three straight 100-loss seasons to two World Series titles. The incident certainly did not merit mention in the book's liner notes (or in any promotion of the book). Alex Cora is not a focus. Winning Fixes Everything provides a detailed account of the evolution of the Astros and Major League Baseball the past two decades. The book is highly recommended. Is the title to this thread considered clickbait? if so, to what end? The thread's creator lacks the standard clickbait's financial incentive. The short shared passage could be of interest to Boston fans because Alex Cora is the current Red Sox manager. Or not:) But this fan of another team would be interested in a similar report about his team's current manager. At any rate, thank you for the feedback.
  25. That was more troubling than the reported drinking. That language is common in many workplaces but probably crosses the line when directed in anger at a co-worker. The word would be even more egregious if directed at a woman.
