    They've been 25-34 since 6/1. I'm not cracking open the abacus for that calculation.
  2. JoeBrady
    Again, it isn't a matter of either/or. I could be wrong, but I'd have NP with Yoshida being a FT DH and Duran/JJ splitting LF.
  3. JoeBrady
    Ouch! Today's chart feels like we used a lot of BP time in a loss.
  4. JoeBrady
    You're looking at rotating Duran and Yoshida with another LF/DH. He'd have to be a righty.
  5. JoeBrady
    My position always been that would be an off-season move, maybe in the DR or something. Now I question the need to do it at all. His 34.2 bulk innings has come in 6 games, or 5.7 IP/G. And picking an opener comes with a set of advantages by matching L/R openers by opponents.
  6. JoeBrady
    I'm quite certain they didn't overlook his injury history.
  7. JoeBrady
    I don't think so. Nothing was egregious. I think Duran should've gotten to the double, but it wasn't automatic. Contreras should've been able complete the pick-off play, but I think that's only maybe a 75-80% success rate. The usual pitcher mishap. And White not being familiar with Fenway Park on the triple. They could've made all four plays, but they were bad errors or anything.

    I'm curious why you think it is not working. Bello & Miller allowed 1 ER in 5 innings, with a cool 6/0 K/W. In fact, in his bulk RP appearances (1st/2nd inning), he has allowed 3 ERs in 34.2 IPs, for an ERA of 0.78. I cannot imagine anything, in any sport, working better than what Bello is currently doing as a bulk reliever.

    It's astonishing the change in philosophy from 2023 (3) to 33 & 18 in 25/26. It can't be normal variance. They have to be intentional favoring pitchers. Good question for the press.
  10. JoeBrady
    With that rotation, along with Raleigh, Naylor, JRod, Arizona, even Crawford and some rising prospect, and a closer, I thought they were automatic to win that division. Even with under-performance, I don't see how they aren't a .550+ team.
  11. JoeBrady
    Lots of numbers to digest. Thanks...

    It seemed like a difficult game to lose. I think the As might've had one hard-hit shot. The first run was unearned. Soderstrom's triple is not a triple if Abreu is out there. Duran took a sloppy route to the double, and the RS failed to execute on the pick-off. But that's part of baseball. We had a fair number of wins where things just fell into our lap.
  13. JoeBrady
    That might be a 2027 project, if then. But I see nothing wrong with Bello throwing 5 innings and 85 pitches, with Miller taking over for one inning. And if they do that in the reverse order, I fail to see any difference.
  14. JoeBrady
    I'm curious what your alternative is? Personally, I like a hard-throwing opener over a soft-tosser. Who'd you have picked?
  15. JoeBrady
    Illness. Believe it not, the RS (and everyone else) have binders of notes on every player.
  16. JoeBrady
    It is supposed to be Miller as the opener. Maybe Bello has a bulk RP?
  17. JoeBrady
    With 15 HRs in 312 ABs and only a .234 BABIP. If Duran regresses to a .300 BABIP, then he projects to 29 HRs and a .263 average. That'll work.
  18. JoeBrady
    It's both worrisome and positive. It's real early, but we know Yorke hasn't worked out, and neither Teel nor Monty are causing me any regret, yet. But that's a lot of #1's to lose.
  19. JoeBrady
    If a player with an injured hand is hitting in early August, I assume he'll be back by late August, or early September. Fred is lurking; what does your medical background suggest?
  20. JoeBrady
    If a Duran type of player is our biggest weakness, then I feel pretty good, He should put up good numbers if we restrict him to RH pitchers.
  21. JoeBrady
    I thought Anthony was already hitting?
  22. JoeBrady
    Remind me again, what are our weaknesses?
  23. JoeBrady
    From 6/13-8/2, Slaten had the 4th best fWAR in baseball. 3rd best FIP.
  24. JoeBrady
    Bennett lost it after the 3rd inning. I don't overrate one game, but he is 35 innings past last year. Or it could be nothing but the humidity. You can't even walk without sweating.
  25. JoeBrady
    White was there because Abreu was injured. Nothing you can do. But Duran has never hit lefties. He's at .588 this yeah and .600 last year. White is not much of a solution, but has about a .745 over the past two years. When Abreu returns, a LF platoon of Duran/White, and a DH platoon of Yoshida/JJ, with regular PH appearances, is probably warranted.
