    1) That the season's not over has much to do with Sale's last two outings. 2) This news to me thus means the season is over. (esp with the mixed news about Price) 3) I expected something like this because I had a real sense that the great effort Sale put out might somehow put him on the IL.

    A good Sept 1st goal would be to be 4 out in the loss column. And 2 out by the 15th of Sept. Since we're chasing two pretty good teams, this is reasonable.

    Pedro pitched 4 shutouts between May 12 and June 8 and lost the May 6 game by 0-1.
  4. fxkatt
    I believe 7 shutouts and 3 or 4 0-1 losses.

    McLain 30 Wins. Never again. 1968 was such a news loaded year. Lots of political and rock n' roll deaths, murders, suicides. The middle of the War etc. And divisive but not exactly like now.

    HA!

    The year 2000: Pedro finished with 1.74 ERA, Clemons (2nd) with 3.7 ERA.

    Were they playing with a 2019 ball that year? I vaguely remember that big discrepancy between Pedro and the rest of the AL.
  9. fxkatt
    Most Red Sox teams, even the really losing ones, have shown more zest and fight than this 2019 version. I guess this is what comes from winning it ALL (not much left in reserve).

    Five Starters in the AL this year under 3 ERA: Verlander, Cole, Morton, Minor, and our man Miley. Wonders will never cease! It can be done.

    The LOSS column is what counts more than anything right now. At the moment we have 57, Oak/TB both have 50. My projection of a 93 win season is quickly waning because that would mean 69 losses. Oak/TB have a shot at this number, but I doubt we do... just can't see a winning streak with this pitching staff... we're not the Mets in that regard.

    It seems that with Price now down, it's exhibition season time. Sale can now develop new pitches. So can others. And bring up some promising pitchers... let's have a look. What else is there to play for?

    The Pats, a team with not a single bad contract, plays game one pre-season tomorrow night. A good time for a break from this now depressing evening habit.

    Bogaerts. He has the least $$ motivation to do so, but no matter with him.

    I just heard Buster Olney on a local station here. When asked about the Sox, he mentioned the following factors for the sharp decline from last season: 1) Winner's fatigue (all the attention, events, interviews etc) 2) the let down in energy/efforts or hangover effect after getting to the top 3) Social Media's absorption, and the depression that follows 4) Some players on the Sox got paid and some did not, causing tension in the club house. He also said that he was pretty shocked by Sale's contract, and believed it was a mistake, given all his physical issues. He emphasized that he still doesn't understand the thinking behind it. (Actually, I was under the impression that one of the five years was this year, so that makes it even more shocking to Me)

    And oh yes, did you say "4 inning" pitching time. What we have presently is 5 inning pitching time... how is this different. (I believe 5.1 is our current average starter outing)
  17. fxkatt
    Two reasons why it's not a good idea. 1) The weak link in the chain is more likely to open the door than a decent starter would 2) You run down your pitching staff more quickly by using 4-5 pitchers every day, which makes extra inning games even more destructive.

    There's still Pedroia and Castillo on the books in '20. Then there's Price, Sale, and possibly Martinez and their 87 million dollar payload. Then Betts at at least 26 million. I don't know if we're more in trouble with bad contracts or with a depleted minor league system. looks grim, but Kansas City is in town... so who knows.

    I wonder if Boone will have the guts to do this, tho. I know I would. If you got a pen like this, you have to flaunt it.

    I agree slightly more with Jung in this little squabble... I still think those Houston hitters are scary and central to their intimidating factor and winning ways. I didn't admit their disadvantage during the series because NBC did it too often, but looking back, I loved our lucky break.
  21. fxkatt
    Well, the Yanks are winning with multiple disadvantages this season, many of which will disappear before the playoffs. So, they could match Houston except for one thing--starting pitching. so, I would never bet on the Yanks. Never--unless Houston should sustain some key injuries. (the AL sucks this year which does account for at least some of the Yanks success... but also points to our abject failure...so far)
  22. fxkatt
    Is relief in sight?? Next 7 games against KC and Cal.--at Home. 7 wins to make up for 8 losses
  23. fxkatt
    Only two differences from me and DD. And both of these I said BEFORE their occurrences and not after. 1) I'd sign one good solid reliever or at least wd have traded for one at the deadline. 2) I'd have extended Sale with a 3 year 75 million contract as opposed to 4 years at 116 million. May I turn out to be wrong on this account. But Sale has always pitched best, it seems, in the shadows, and underpaid, so this contract makes me nervous on a few accounts. Beyond these two things, the season itself is a mystery to me, but I have no insight into how the players fit with one another.

    a walk and a blast. 4 walks by Martinez.

    Devers is a hit song.
