Good point. But if you believe pitching wins pennants, which I do, a team has to give up quality to get quality in return. This is, of course, speculative and probably is not going to happen.
The ESPN crew is wrong about Dalbec's HR last night. It wasn't the longest by a SOX this year. Cordero hit a 474 foot HR against the Phillies in May with a higher exit velocity.
The most frustrating thing about watching baseball is when the pitcher makes a bad mistake and pretty much puts the ball on a tee and the batter doesn't square it up. Just like Renfroe failed to do.
Btw, last night's come from behind victory was the SOX 20th of the season, which leads all of MLB.
IOW, more than half their wins.
IOW, based on the above, the SOX have a better chance of winning when they're behind some point in the game.
