OH FOY

Chris Sale 2016 Chris Sale 2019 What do you see different? I see it.

As an old Fart I bypass 2 stats OPS and WAR, I don't get mad at all those that want to use it. I just see things in these 2 stats that I dont like. Like my Grand-children, I listen and nod.

Still say we win 2 out 3, No Dodgers are coming to our house to say "MVP" Sox will play with vengeance.

Dombrowski is the worst kind of GM you can have right now, he's gutting the talent that we might have, so it could be a nightmare for the Sox for many years. Only way to keep up is Free Agents. Sox should do everything they can to keep the young players now that are on the team long term. Devers, Benni, JBJ, and Betts. It will cost money, but in the meantime, you start building the Farm again. X-Man is in the fold, so that's a plus. Start with Pitching, build that pitching up.

Here's what one Scout said on the Red Sox Farm. "Their system isn't very deep, I'll tell you that" said one very highly touted Scout, who has seen the Boston System extensively, "And from what I can tell, other then a Handful of guys, their best talent now is probably at Fort Meyers, (Gulf Coast League), and Lowell (NY Penn League). Now, maybe they can get a deal done with some of those guys, because the are a long way away and Dave isn't worried what's going to happen in 3 or 4 years". Today on BSJ

Jeff Nelson is a good analyst.

JBJ is one of the smartest Ballplayers on the Sox. I like smart Ballplayers. In every sport, smart wins a lot of games.

Its over, Perfect game gone.

Rays got a perfect game going.

Sox are hitting .249 as a team against Lefties this season. Last 30 days Ryu has a 3.13 ERA, and Opponents are hitting, .278 against him. 4 Games started. Ryu Home - 0.85 ERA Road - 2.98 ERA

With that WAR, we should win every battle, that he's in.

I look at his history from last year, and the teams he faced +innings. Has to be injury related. On July 11th the Sox shut him down for 11 Days. Came back on July 22 and faced Detroit, went 6 innings did OK. Then he went right back on regular turn then, it started. Came back on July 27th faced the Twins, went 6 innings did good, but Sox shut him down for another 2 weeks. Aug. 12th came back and went 5 innings, 1 hit ball against the O's. Then shut down for 30 days. Sept. 11th 1 inning Toronto Sept. 16 against the Mets went 3 innings, trying to build the shoulder. Sept. 21 against Cleveland went 3.1 innings. Sept. 26 against O's went 4.2 innings, and got hit pretty hard. From July 27th to Sept 26th, pitched a total of 23 innings. Throw out that 1 inning that he pitched to win it, Sale had a 4.40 ERA, in the Play-offs last year. The last 3 Months wouldn't you have a little concern that something might have gotten by the Red Sox Doctors. It has continued, and Sale is the last guy who will say something especially after signing good extension. Not that he's a bad person trying to get over on the Sox. The guy will go out there with no arm. I think something got by our Doctors. I would get 2nd opinion. Tears happen that you don't see. 3 Month Shut-Down then whole Off Season shut down, and he has declined. Has to be injury, too good of a Pitcher for too long, for this to suddenly happen.

Sale has never allowed 5 runs or more in his career, in 3 consecutive starts.

Cashner needs 90.2 innings for 2020 contract to vest.

Cashner has never played on a team that finished over .500.

Actually this Trade tells me teams like our Lower Level talent. For a Rental, O's essentially did a International Draft, move, for money sent back to the Sox. Hey, if your rebuilding this was not a bad idea for them. That new GM got some good Talent for Houston and St. Louis. Known as a top scout.

Sox will pull a Thornburg on Pearce. He'll accept the assignment though. I would, unless another team grabs him.

Well we signed guys that never play in the Majors, to great money. Teams do stupid things, when your team has money to spend. Tons of stupid contracts, that the guy is injured and contributes very little to teams. And teams still sign them. Because of history that one time, they were dominant. Once injured at work, got therapy, always hurt, went to 2nd opinion needed surgery on my wrist, for torn ligament. 1st Diagnosis was a work Doctor. Sprain wrist. Nothing to lose to get another Diagnosis.

One thing for sure, Chris Sale is a fighting Dog, that will do anything to win. Great Teammate that you want. Hope he an figure it out. If it isn't the shoulder, then Sox signed a Pitcher that's declining, on his style of pitching.

Once a shoulder always a shoulder. His ball is flat not biting. Both the Sliders and Fastballs. He's probably trying to make adjustments, so not to have pain. Sox should send him to who ever worked on Julio Urias shoulder. This has been longer then we realize. Last 30 games including the Play-offs Sale has a 4.27 ERA.

The handful of Spot Starters headed by Velazquez, have a 6.76 ERA, and have averaged 3.1 innings a start in the 5th spot.

Man, Turner in this Park.

Cant believe this kid is only 22 years old. 23 next Month.

Oh yeah were going 4 Hrs baby.

This clown cant throw strikes.
