    Rick's career ERA is 4.31 and his WHIP is 1.309. These are mediocre at best. The best that can be said about Porcello is his durability. Btw, no starter on the SOX over Rick's time here has had as much run support as he has.
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Hard to predict the future, Moon, but if someone asked me if I could only keep one player on the SOX right now, it would definitely be Devers. As far as your question goes, yes I feel Devers will.
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Maybe, but it probably won't be with the SOX.
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    May, 2019 will be remembered as the month and year Devers became a force both offensively and defensively. Just unbelievable.
  5. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Not a horrible night, but not a quality start either. 10 runs and counting will smoke screen a mediocre pitching performance.
  6. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Thanks, Moon. I'd forgotten about Travis. Damn, how many options does Sam have left?

    Back in the day when there were only 16 ML teams, it was not unusual for players to spend 4 to 5 years in the minors. Also, back then, if a pitcher's ERA was over 4, he was usually sent back to the minors. I get it that every major city wants a pro baseball team, and baseball is making a lot more money now then then, but it has definitely been detrimental to the quality of the game. Again, this situation is also true for pro football, pro basketball, and pro hockey.

    When Moreland and Pearce return, will the SOX option MC Hammer and Marco back to Pawtucket? Obviously, there could be trades made making this question mute. Personally, I'd prefer to keep Hammer with the big club and trade Moreland.

    Btw, this is also true in regards to the other 3 major team sports.
  10. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Dewey, I believe there's just too many teams and not enough true talent to man these teams. And I'm not just referring to pitching.
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The Dodgers and Astros are blessed with both.

    I forgot to credit Bill Shakespear for that quote.

    Good pitching in MLB presently is as rare as finding a pearl in an oyster.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Just like real estate.
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Offense brings the fans. Pitching brings the rings.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Devers reminds me of Tina Turner. He never hits the ball easy, he hits it hard. "Rollin' down the river."
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Thanks for that info. I did not know that. As much as I like that idea, I very strongly doubt that will be approved by the players' union.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Between the SOX starters and the SOX BP, the '27 Yankems couldn't score enough runs to contend.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Going 5 innings on a continuous basis, imho, is not doing fine.
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The 3 expensive starters on the SOX staff haven't aged well.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Me too. There's enough WTF apologists on this thread.
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Realistically, who can the SOX sell? They could sell JD and Beni. If they try to sell Sale and/or Price, the SOX will have to eat a lot of their contracts. Nunez, Leon, Pearce you can't give away. Porcello and Moreland might get the SOX something.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    A junkyard in Beverly Hills.
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Time for my We're not the Orioles chant.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I guess it's only fitting that JK gets the save.
