    How much would you be willing to pay for Bregman?

    I don't think he makes sense for the red sox -- I can tolerate him on a 1 or 2 year deal, but this is a hitter with a near career low BB/K ratio, OBP so I voted not at any price -- in addition he's been ineffective against lefties since 2022 (108, 95, 100 wRC+ for 2022, 2023, 2024), so he's not...

    Red Sox hook Crochet for Kyle Teel, Braden Montgomery, Chase Meidroth and Wikelman Gonzalez

    The starting rotation seems to be locked in -- apart from getting another 4th/5th starter for depth, I think only a RHH bat may be needed to be competitive in the AL east. 4 of our 5 starters are ranked in the top 60 for steamer projects, FWIW: 1. Crochet --4.9 WAR (4th) 2. Houck - 2.9 WAR...

    Red Sox hook Crochet for Kyle Teel, Braden Montgomery, Chase Meidroth and Wikelman Gonzalez

    Especially draft good position players -- our pitching development has struggled.

    Red Sox hook Crochet for Kyle Teel, Braden Montgomery, Chase Meidroth and Wikelman Gonzalez

    Love this move -- GFIN while the Yankees still have problems with their lineup ( Fried was an overpay and not much of an upgrade nor a position of need for the yankees ) and the orioles have done little to improve. Our rotation is now: 1 - Crochet 2 - Houck 3 - Bello 4 - Giolito 5 - Crawford...

    2024 Dolphins: Throw the Damn Towel

    CTE isn’t the only issue — and getting actual concussions is really bad for long term mental health. https://amp.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jan/31/three-or-more-concussions-add-up-to-long-term-cognitive-problems-study-suggests

    Extreme Makeover: The Jarren Duran Edition

    *was* GOOD. 2022 was the last year he played more than 100 games in a season ( 116 ); remains to be seen if he can recover, again.

    Damien Harris tees off on BB over 2022 offense

    McCorkle is so bad at NFL he was named McCorkle from birth. McCorkle is so bad at NFL that his stats are worse when he’s given the freedom to throw and little pressure ( early 2022 ) than when he’s repeatedly sacked and hurried by a weak OL ( late 2022 ).

    Is It Over Now? Chiefs/Niners SB Thread

    What’s really important is that the NFL finally got an in-game DJ for its boring game ( about 13 minutes of action in 3 hours and usually dominated by the best QB ). Furthermore, it’s Tiesto! I hope they feature him during the 30-second long breaks in between 5-8 second plays. Clearly they’re...

    It's the halfway mark. Where we at?

    The 2023 team is like the Clay Buchholz of teams.

    It's the halfway mark. Where we at?

    I don’t think using June as a basis for evaluating midsession baseball offense is legitimate to begin with, it’s an Eric Van-esque approach. My point was that the offense wasn’t just bunching runs in June against the Yankees. If you’re expecting 2004 level offense, then no it’s bad. However...

    It's the halfway mark. Where we at?

    Yes. I was at the twins game on Tuesday, where they scored in the double digits as well. Over the past 30 days they scored 124 runs in 28 games. In June they’ve scored 4 or more runs in 12/26 games ( 3/6 against the Yankees ). Again, what exactly is disappointing about the offense? I think this...

    It's the halfway mark. Where we at?

    Agree with this wholeheartedly — this is a fun high variance team to watch and see if they grow. As others noted, the Red Sox are averaging nearly 5 runs per game ( good for 4th in AL ) and hover around the top third for wRC+ — they’ve had up’s and downs for sure — Devers aside, how has the...

    It's the halfway mark. Where we at?

    Pretty much what I expected from the start of the season. A very good offense — despite all the Eric Vanning on the board — combined with below average starting pitching makes for a team that lives or dies by its offense. Bullpen is fine. I’m a bit more optimistic on the starting pitching...

    5/21 Bloom's Gambit

    Ditto -- try to save the bullpen for games that you need. Kluber may not have many starts left, its fine to overuse him as long as he doesn't get too in the way.

    5/21 Bloom's Gambit

    Yeah, but at the same time the QO threat was always there, so the leverage existed for the kind of discount Texas got (2 years with a vested option). I agree, with hindsight, I would probably resign Eovaldi -- and the foresight is probably even money too. Even with the QO, hard to say whether...

    5/21 Bloom's Gambit

    Like Sale did in his final season, Kluber fell apart towards the end of 2022 -- including a large velocity drop in the middle of the season. Signing him vs using it for anything would've made more sense -- much like Masterson's signing was super questionable and clearly nostalgia/intangible...

    5/21 Bloom's Gambit

    Its less Kluber vs. name-a-pitcher and more Justin Masterson redux -- throwing 10 million away at a clearly over-the-hill pitcher (when looking at peripherals) is just not worth it.

    5/21 Bloom's Gambit

    I was thinking the same thing -- hard to say whether the QO is ultimately worth it -- but in hindsight, Eovaldi probably makes us a solid competitor in 2023/24. EDIT: That being said, hard to predict Sale/Paxton's re-emergence, and Bello's emergence, which underscores the short-term vs...

    5/21 Bloom's Gambit

    Its not over but its not great -- red sox average 5 and half runs per game in terms of scoring -- even behind its hard to count out this offense
