    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    Sox SPs are averaging 17.1 pitches per IP this year. If they could get it to 15 that would be huge. Unlike all the other incentives, the importance of pitch efficiency would seem to encourage pitching to contact (and good defense).

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    Actually looking at it, I would expect Weissert could go tonight. It's been 33 pitches Saturday (longest outing of year) one days rest and 12 pitches last night. I imagine they would rather not use him, but I doubt he is unavailable. Weissert currently on pace for 73 IPs, so we can't really...

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    You would think Winck, Weissert and Slaten are unavailable tonight. It is admittedly early, but Winck and Slaten are on pace for around 100 IPs out of pen, which seems unsustainable. Sort of surprised they brought Winck back yesterday for the first time on one days rest after throwing 28 pitches...

    SS possibilities going forward

    He was significantly positive on OAA last year, and for multiple consecutive years preceding so it appears OAA differs from DRS in this case, whatever that may mean. Surely the Sox have the capacity to determine if Crawford is still a B/B+ defensive SS, which sadly again it seems we desperately...

    SS possibilities going forward

    The team should already well understand if David Hamilton or Pablo Reyes is a major league average defensive SS or not. I like these guys, but we can't really be expected to watch another half season or more with a sieve at SS. Maybe add Brandon Crawford to a list of potential acquisitions...

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    Just staple Criswell to Winck for a few turns through rotation. Who starts is beside the point IMO. Have the two of them cover 8-9 IPs combined.

    Nick Pivetta to the 15-Day IL retroactive to April 6, with a right elbow flexor strain. (Bernardino called up)

    The update on Pivetta certainly seems encouraging so perhaps all is not lost. At the same time, no point in denying the obvious achilles heel of the team, which many urged the FO to address in the off season, was lack of SP depth. We are 10 games into the season and that concern seems it may be...

    4.5 - Angels in the Outfield

    4.5 - Angels in the Outfield

    Another night of emptying the pen. 4.2 IP from the SP does hurt.

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

    I think the "core right handed bat" really means someone who deserves the extra PAs which comes with batting 2nd or 3rd and who could break up the run of lefties, Duran-Devers-Casas. Hence, it is more about combatting susceptibility to lefty relievers. Even (especially) without LOOGY, a string...

    Everybody hurts sometimes: The latest injuries

    0.5 to 0.6 IPs/Team Game is obviously lot for a RP especially if working 1 IP at a time. We have 6 RPs on pace for 80 plus IPs this year (yes it is very early) which is obviously not sustainable, but necessary if the SPs are not pushed a few batters/outs more. Will be interested in if/how they...

    Everybody hurts sometimes: The latest injuries

    With starters being limited to 5+ IPs, 80-90 pitches, 20-22 batters, it is very hard to endure a relief pitcher who is down for 3 or more days, especially if you are also carrying someone who is use only in case of true blow out. You can't really cover the needed pen innings/batters with 8 RPs...

    Everybody hurts sometimes: The latest injuries

    If Jansen is down, this pen is already seriously stressed. We sorta need at least 6 from Houck tonight and Chase Anderson to make an extended appearance to reset. There has to a role for Chase other than complete blow outs. Weissert, Slaten, Joely presumably unavailable tonight. Is Winck...
