Stat shows Red Sox’ Connor Wong is one of top MLB defenders at any position https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2023/05/stat-shows-red-sox-connor-wong-is-one-of-top-mlb-defenders-at-any-position.html He's with the Sox for 6 years. Betts trade is looking better each day.

I agree. One thing to be selective, another to be just passive. You have to take 3 healthy swings. You can't hit with 2 strikes on you every at bat, as he seems to do often. He plays a hitting position. He needs to hit. Not walk.
-
I think you're too critical on Whitlock. He's only started 3 games. He performed poorly in games 1 and 3. In game 2, he won against the Angels, pitching 7 innings, giving up 3 hits and 1 run. He is nowhere close to being labeled "He Sucks". Not yet anyway.
-
I appreciate all your data. But you ignor one thing. We compete in AL East. Stats for major leage means nothing to me. It's how we look compared to other AL teams matter more to me.
-
I think the Sox has 2 option years on Whitlock hoping he'd be a starter. I believe that was the plan all along. They are not ready to give up on that idea.
-
We have an offense that can comeback especially at home but SP can't contine to put us in a hole to start the game. That was Pivetta's problem. At least with Houck you can always have Kutter, Winck or now Pivetta to piggyback.
-
Just to keep in mind. Kluber will earn $500K when he starts 20 games, another $750K at 25 games started and finally another $750K at 30 games started.

Hell both Paxton and Sale are at risk getting off the bus or even riding a stationary bike.

You know me better than that. Acquire an ace. #5 starter becomes a long reliever. Acquire another ace. Now the previous #4 starter becomes a long reliever. At this point, only thing we're missing are quality starters in my opinion. Unresolved issues. 1 What to do with Story when he comes back. It seems to me it's better to put him at short. At that point, Arroyo/Valdez or Chang/Valdez could work at 2B. 2 I'm willing to live with Casas at 1B unless he turns into another Dalbec. We have the option of platooning him with Turner, move Yoshida to DH and employ Tapia or Refsnyder in left when Casas sits. 3 What to do with Duran, assuming he continues to hit, when Duvall returns. It's a good problem to have. 4 Our pen will only improve with everyone becoming healthy.

We can add #1 starter and #5 becomes long reliever. Repeat. Repeat.

His arm is 3 years younger than rest of his body.

Very good, sir.

It's very possible that Whitlock and Houck may not work out as starters but we are nowhere near the end with the two as we are with Kluber. Whitlock has been hurt. I would like to see how he does 100% healthy. I am willing to give Houck couple of more shots to see if he can navigate 4/5 th inning. My whole point is EXAUST every possibility until July. Then make a decision to go out and get better help or gear up for 2024. I am no means punting this season. This has been a fun team to watch. A poster on another board stated he had a chance to attend yesterday's game but he decided it wasn't worth his drive when he saw Kluber was pitching. I think that sums up my feelings about Kluber. Maybe it will change after he throws a complete game on Sunday.
-
I am talking about RIGHT NOW. This week. We have 7 starters plus Kutter. I get it he deserved a spot until NOW. How many more starts do you want to give hin?
-
By the way, we're not just gambling with Kluber's $10M or so. Sox is gambling with $200M+ on the bet that Kluber will become a #5 starter. It's a stupid bet. Give me Bloom's phone #.
-
When we miss out on the playoffs by couple of games, we can look back on indecisiveness of Cora and the rest of baseball operations personnel dragging their feet on Kluber. We have enough starters. Let the motherf*er work out his mechanics in rehab stints. Unbelievable. It's clear that Kluber is completely lost based on his post game interview.
-
You still want Houck in the pen and Kluber starting? Houck will get frw more opportunies. Then I hpoe it's Kutter and not Pivetta if Houck doesn't workout.
-
At 67 I have trouble posting using my phone. Much easier on desktop.
-
Looks like I called it.
-
He's got reverse split. Cora has given up on this game. I'd bring in Pivetta and let him finish the game.
-
Bleier will definitely be gone when Whitlock/Schreiber return.
-
I want to what analtics showed Kluber still had it?
-
Yes. Kluber grts pulled. It's bad when player's manager pulls you with less than 70 pitch count.
-
I got my yard work done to watch this ?

The DP machine is back. Off the plate pitch pulled to facilitate DP.
