    Is Connor Wong a starting catcher?

    Very cool. He was a catcher himself, no?

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    Thank you, nvalvo, for that excellent explanation. Because of the vagaries of ERA for relief pitchers, I've always kept and eye on WHIP as a better indicator of their performance. Sounds like FIP does that quite well, and I especially like the future value of it. Thanks again.

    That play should be shown during GG voting! Are there even 5 MLB catchers with the speed to make that play?

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    Nicely done. Although I know FIP = Fielding Independent Pitching, I don't know the details. Is it typically greater than a pitcher's ERA, as shown in your table?

    Red Sox acquire Zack Short

    I know we've all seen it multiple times, but any mention of the BrockStar prompts me to resurrect this scrappy play: View: https://youtu.be/UhuQo_tFwjc?si=XRFwJ9KTlhjt0Paj

    March/April: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    I love the start to the season, but it's a little sobering to realize the Sox are 11-13 in games in which they don't toss a shutout. C'mon bats! Here's hoping everyone gets as hot as Abreau.

    May: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    True, but I sure wish he would shorten his stroke a little. He's quite the free swinger.

    I think the defense will get better with C-Note at SS and Grissom at 2B, the hitting will improve a little (Grissom is a ++, more players likely to improve than degrade), the relief pitching will improve a little, and a successful season will be weighing on how much or little the starting...

    Sox to trade for Garrett Cooper, Pablo Reyes DFA’d

    And when Romy's back (soon), he can replace Hamilton or Dalbec.

    Anxiety is Good for You

    I guess I missed that episode. That's some fantasy. It looked like Radar must have played some ball because he didn't look as bad as most actors. Thanks for sharing that!

    Bello to IL with lat tightness

    On the positive side, if this is a develop and progress year, lots of guys can develop at the MLB level now.

    Bello to IL with lat tightness

    Well, Casas was quoted as saying he felt his issue a day or two prior and tried to play thru it, resulting in an actual injury that will keep him out for weeks. I'm okay with a couple weeks off for Bello, but, man, this is almost a joke.

    Grading the Umps - March/April

    Didn't Dalbec get jobbed twice on called third strikes last game that were outside?

    Yoshida says, "climb aboard boys, I'll carry you home". And Abreau say, "hold my cerveza".
