    EVERY TEAM in baseball was concerned about that. The WS had the advantage of low expectations.
  2. JoeBrady
    That's almost unfathomable. If we added Mookie, Bogey & Raffy (1.5 bWAR), instead of Contreras, Gray & Suarez (4.8), we'd be behind the Rockies. Not to mention a future obligation of > $600K. You're looking at currently, maybe the 3 worst contracts in baseball.

    I just like the annual fight. I've lived through much tougher periods than this.

    We paid real money for three players. All three are doing very well. We can't gnash out teeth because we didn't pay more money, for worser players.
  5. JoeBrady
    To me, that's a competitive advantage. I know a lot of fans looked at Chapman and Adames, and saw overpaid players. But they need to start looking at contracts that can be paid down to a reasonable level. There are easily a dozen guys that are overpaid, but still real players. That should be our focus.

    Teacher? School year? Driving back to Maine?

    2 HRs in 34 ABs. Last I looked, y'all were criticizing Durbin for the lack of power.
  8. JoeBrady
    Most fans probably just watch the games every night and don't bother with the math.

    Players muscles are growing faster than the supporting tendons and ligaments. And not a single athlete is going to throw slower, or run slower, or swing slower. When you're trying to make the HS team, the last thing you think about is how your arm will feel in 20 years.

    I swear that, when I read this, I read it as "No Boston player ever returned from the IL". Giving the state of communications from the FO, it sounded reasonable for about 20 seconds.
  11. JoeBrady
    It seems an easy enough fix. Just copy what the NFL does. Both sides work in the best interest of the sport, and both get paid off.
  12. JoeBrady
    Some of the fans won't be happy trading for projections, or trying to figure out how a player's swing might work in Fenway. Chapman and Adames have combined for 13 HRs in the past 28 days. We'd be in 1st had we traded for them when I suggested it. Adell is nowhere near them as an overall player, but I reckon he'd be a 30+ HR hitter in Fenway.
  13. JoeBrady
    There is no sense arguing with people that don't believe in data.
  14. JoeBrady
    It's always better to try to measure something than to trust in the spirits. I can no longer even hit a softball, but if I was hitting in Fenway, I'd have at least a .900 OPS.
  15. JoeBrady
    I was just being snarky, which is what I do when the RS win. And when they lose.
  16. JoeBrady
    We got a little lucky there. They had Raffy at 1-2. He swung at a pitch that was eye-high (or worse), checked his swing on another eye-high FB, then fouled off a pitch maybe neck high. He couldn't lay off of them and couldn't hit them. Someone calls for a pitch in the zone in what was a horrible, horrible call. He still had to hit it, but the call should've been for shoulder/neck high FBs until he popped up. Maybe Duran still wins it for us, but Raffy should never have had the opportunity to put us ahead. So is this 2 in a row for the first time this year?
  17. JoeBrady
    He doesn't look fat-fat. A bit like Schwarber. He's got some muscle.
  18. JoeBrady
    But the point remains. The Red Sox are not looking to get rid of him. If they fall out of contention, then they will be open to moving 10-15 guys. But they aren't looking to get rid of him.
  19. JoeBrady
    It's a moot point anyway. At best, he was our #7 SP. Had we not made the trade, and kept him in the minors, the same people screaming that we traded him away, would be screaming that never should've traded for him. And that's almost 100% guarantee. Heck, it's only been a couple of weeks since the very same people were complaining that we traded Devers away for NOTHING.
  20. JoeBrady
    7-1 with a 3.20 and you're you're not digging it?
  21. JoeBrady
    Wouldn't the better question be, if you can steal a star like Harrison, why not do so?
  22. JoeBrady
    But all his numbers are down. His career road OPS is .825 and this year it is .704. K/W is much worse. Even his numbers at Oracle are down, by almost the same amount that his road numbers are down (104). I don't see how someone can reasonably say that Devers has hit worse everywhere in the world, but if he got back to Fenway, he'd be great.
  23. JoeBrady
    There's also no guarantee that we won't get just as good an offer at the trade deadline. It's kind of an interesting psychological study here. There were a lot of people that wanted to go all-in during the off-season, because they thought the future was now and didn't want to wait. Two months later, and it is white flag time?
  24. JoeBrady
    Mayer progressed just about like he should have. He had 9 HRs in 170 ABs in AAA, with a 38/20 K/W, with a good glove. He had a .678 OPS in the pros. There was -0- reason not to make him part of the opening lineup.
  25. JoeBrady
    I cannot tell you how often fans say that the RS overrate their prospects.
