    I know I post a lot of stuff that you don't understand, but you need to be more specific than 'huh?.
  2. JoeBrady
    I don't think it was that bad. A couple of gambles for sure, but I think the press over-estimates how much teams are willing to give up for two months of work.
  3. JoeBrady
    No. We're riding with our guys now!

    We had discussions about this at the time. Our W/L record in one-run games v non-one-run games: Mar 0-2 1-2 Apr 2-2 9-13 May 3-5 10-9 Jun 1-3 11-11 Jul 5-1 16-3 Aug 1-0 2-0 Obviously July is the outlier, but the other months looks fairly normal once you adjust for one-run games.

    My point is that those stats were expected to decline when he went to fulltime. Going from platoon hitter to fulltime, and maintaining your stats is huge.
  6. JoeBrady
    While that is undoubtedly true, there should be consideration to the moves he made, at the time he made them. And at least some consideration for the peripheral stats and sample sizes. Mead's .500 OBP and Miller's 0.00 are likely not sustainable.
  7. JoeBrady
    Not really, but I will expand on that later.

    Was the Fire Bloom Thread longer than the Fire Epstein, Fire Cherington, Fire DD and Fire Bloom threads?
  9. JoeBrady
    I mentioned that on MLB-R. Had we landed Miller a little earlier, I think we'd have had a market for Watson, even if it was only a non-Rule 5 lottery ticket. I like all our guys, but we might have to make decisions we don't necessarily like.
  10. JoeBrady
    It's kind of a fantasy, because every team has guys that are injured and wondering 'what if'. But if we got Crochet and Anthony? If our rotation for a 5-game was Crochet-Gray-Suarez? And throw in Tolle for a 7-game series? But we cannot digress from the task at hand, which is tonight's game.

    From 6/7-year end, Story was one of the best SS's in BB with an .839 OPS, and #23 in fWAR among all players. He's at that magic age of 33, BUT his production might've been caused by playing thru an injury. He annoyed the ever-living crap out of me, but is important to acknowledge the various possibilities.
  12. JoeBrady
    A leadership-type statement from Story would be that he expects to be the #26 guy on the bench playing as needed.
  13. JoeBrady
    It is definitely a breakout season. He has similar stats as last year, but is now playing fulltime against lefties. That's a big difference over being a platoon player. And he projects to be a 6-WAR player.
  14. JoeBrady
    My fear is that Story will return looking for his starting gig again.
  15. JoeBrady
    Lots of stuff can change between now and then, but I want the kids that got us here to be on the roster.
  16. JoeBrady
    Sandoval should be ridden as hard and as long as we can. He's one of the bridges we need to get to our key 1-2-3 playoff SPs.
  17. JoeBrady
    I'll be glad to engage in a pro-for-pro debate on almost anyone. And I expect to be real close. But I have a -0- chance of properly projecting prospects, particularly those further away. The only ones that can put a number on Eyanson are professional scouts. And I bet that even they would have seriously fluctuating values. BTV probably has the same chance as I do. -0-.
  18. JoeBrady
    Before the day is out, someone will be blaming Breslow for not landing Rice and Schlittler.
  19. JoeBrady
    I'm calling BS on that one. I see no reason the O's would do that.
  20. JoeBrady
    The way I look at it, if get his career numbers, I'll be happy. If we get his 2026 numbers (injuries aside), I'll be happy. You want some interesting numbers: Career K/W =1.333 Hrs/600 = 19.47 Career K/W =1.333 Hrs/600 = 19.43 He might be the guy he use to be.
  21. JoeBrady
    Let me give a better example. When I see a guy like Mead hit really well in 2026, I tend to dismiss his poor hitting from 2023-2025. Why? Because I see some very good minor league production. When I see a guy that I might've projected for 25+ HRs and a .275, then I am not surprised when he has 25+ HRs and a .275. And just for fun, if Mayer hits 18 HRs and hits .260 and plays good defense, I won't be surprised. Because that is what his pedigree says he can do.
  22. JoeBrady
    It's funny, but some pitchers switch teams, and the new pitching coach has them drops pitches that were getting hammered. And then I wonder why their previous pitching coach couldn't have done the same thing.
  23. JoeBrady
    It also feels like they are just playing baseball. It's not exactly their fault, but I think the high expectations for Story and Mayer left the team unprepared for their awful starts. Nothing too much was expected from Monasterio and Seigler, et al, so their performance lifted the RS spirits. One of the reasons I am happy that Mayer is gone. I think there is some benefits to telling the kids that this is your team, and that you guys deserve the opportunity to finish the ride.
  24. JoeBrady
    Most FAs do perform for a while. But when you sign a guy to age 39, it's possible to see 4-5 years of replacement player returns.
  25. JoeBrady
    Miller has provided FIPs of 3.67, 3.97, and 3.34, despite the control issues. I see no reason why he cannot supply that going forward. Plus he is a GB pitcher which helps at Fenway.
