    The Starting Rotation's Start

    At least we are not the Mets. Jacob Degrom recently had a ten game stretch with a 0.87 ERA and the team went 2-8 in those starts. This came from a Mets fan colleague of mine so the numbers could be slightly off.

    Pedroia on DL

    As opposed to the Travis move, did anyone expect to see Adam Lind up to strengthen the bench, or play some DH? He did post an .875 OPS last year in 116 games.

    Catching Hell

    Leon is slashing at .254/.306/.388 now with 2HR in 72 PA. His wOBA is .304, and wRC+ is 87. Vazquez is at .194/.234/.231 with zero HR, and a wOBA of .211, and wRC+ of 23 in 142 PA. Vazquez is a - 1.0 WAR player so far in 2018. Leon is a + 0.1 WAR before his game last night. B-Ref hadn’t...

    Joe Posnanski on Mookie Betts

    Another amazing Mookie stat they flashed on NESN yesterday was his OPS with two strikes this year. It was 1.150 (roughly) before the two strike home run, more than double the league average.

    The 2018 Lineup

    Here’s my dream lineup when Pedroia comes back. Wondering what you guys think and how you would set your lineup... Mookie Bogey JDM Hanley Moreland Pedey Benny Devers Leon JDM is one of the three best hitters in baseball currently, and Bogey looks primed for a break-out season. Move them up!

    Wherefore art thou, Blake?

    While it is frustrating to watch Devers juggle the ball on every other play (and I've openly suggested that he could use some seasoning in Pawtucket as well), he's third on the club with seven HRs and fourth in RBIs at 25. He's also fourth in MLB overall fielding metrics on FanGraphs and fourth...

    The 2018 Lineup

    Yeah, I don’t know what Cora is waiting for. The way he set the lineup out of Spring Training was fucking dumb, but they went on an absolute tear so he got a pass I guess. At this point though, why on earth would you want Benny and Hanley getting more at-bats every day than J.D. Martinez? It’s...

    WS Game 7: A Curse Dies and a Curse Continues

    Showalter declining to use Britton in 5 instances vs. Toronto and subsequently losing the game with the best reliever in baseball on the bench was worse than anything Maddon did. However Maddon's itchy trigger finger with his starters throughout the whole series was just bizarre. Sure enough it...

    WS Game 7: A Curse Dies and a Curse Continues

    Tito let Kluber start the 5th which was definitely a mistake I thought. He then promptly allowed a leadoff HR. It was clear Kluber was gassed on this night and he even could have pulled him with 2 outs and a man on second with Heyward batting in the 4th. He got away with the Heyward at-bat but...

    Loveable Losers v. Mary Harts - NLCS

    Late to the party but why wasn't Jansen used in the 8th to try and keep it at 3-1? Then see if anything materializes bottom 8 off Chapman. Chapman hasn't been as good in 6-out save situations. Tomorrow is an off day so Jansen would be available for game 6. Anyone else wondering about this?

    Loveable Losers v. Mary Harts - NLCS

    I wonder if any part of the decision fell on Clayton. Remember in game 5 at Washington Kersh told Roberts I'm ready in the 9th if you need me. Roberts had no intentions of using him that game. They have to be worried about overuse and his future he's only 28. He did have a serious back injury...

    Loveable Losers v. Mary Harts - NLCS

    A-Rod needs to immediately replace Harold Reynolds on MLBN. A-Rod's great and Reynolds is the absolute fucking worst - if you don't count Pete Rose.

    Loveable Losers v. Mary Harts - NLCS

    I fucking love Dave Roberts. Astounding what he's done with the Dodgers as a first year manager. Most pitching changes in one season ever and more innings from his pen than his starters this year. Myriad injuries to their rotation and he was 14 games over .500 without Kershaw for 2 months. No...

    Natinals vs. Dodger$

    Kershaw said in the PC he missed his spot and got lucky. He said Murphy is the best hitter in the League and he was basically just trying to throw as hard as he could and hope he makes an out. What an incredible finish to that game. The best pitcher in baseball vs. the best hitter. Murphy hit...

    The Bullpen Thread

    I hoped they would give Kelly an extended look in Sept. to see if he could be a shut down set-up guy. I thought his upside was much higher than Barnes. Farrell referenced a lights out slider Kelly has developed. He also threw a nasty change last night. Barnes just doesn't have this kind of...

    John Farrell & Dave Dombrowski Press Conference (10/11/16)

    I found that interesting, as the bad luck angle has been discussed in the Price thread, I also found JF's comment that Price would probably like to have the 2-1 fastball to Chisenhall back interesting. Price said after the game it was a good pitch and Chisenhall's heat map shows the pitch was...

    ALDS: Indians vs Red Sox

    I didn't like Pomeranz facing Crisp in the 6th even though Coco is a light hitter. There's no tomorrow and the whole pen is rested. Pom had a lackluster season with Boston, and you got a clean inning out of him already. Leadoff walk = a hook in that spot. You didn't need to milk anything more...

    ALDS: Indians vs Red Sox

    Yes, was thinking the same thing, and that Indians team scored 1000 runs. Some of the offensive heroes for the Sox in that 3-win comeback were Brian Daubach, Troy O'leary, and John Valentin. If they can do it this lineup can certainly do it. The Sox lost game one of that series 3-2, then game...

    David Price's Problem

    Some players thrive under pressure - Ortiz, Bumgarner, Rivera etc. Others don't deal with it as well - Price and Kershaw are obvious examples. His struggles are well documented, everyone knows he's been a disaster. It's all in his head you can see it, he's a nervous wreck out there. He's not...
