he might even be a starter?? sox got lucky with workman this year imo. the bullpen is 90% trash. keep walden & i guess workman. porcello is cooked. cashner's a joke. price is past his prime. e-rod's my man. position players seem fine. marco hernández looks GREAT.

i like speier and i know he's not really responsible for the marketing, but give me a fucking break
'homegrown' = mookie, bogaerts and benintendi. jbj was all defense. devers was replacement-level. none of the pitchers were 'homegrown'
they led the majors in payroll and spent almost $100m on simply price/jd/hanley/porcello -- and that's before we get to sale and kimbrel
how about we call it a really rich team that spent its money well instead

his ops (.702) is five and a half times his batting avg (.130) which is really really not easy to do.

so i guess they'll be scoring nine runs every game this year? is that the plan? not a bad plan if they can continue to execute on it!
― fact checking cuz, Monday, 3 April 2023 14:31 (one year ago) link
the plan will fall apart if the opposing teams catch on and plan to score 10 runs

― limb tins & cum (gyac), Monday, 3 April 2023 14:57 (one year ago) link
well the last two games they only came to bat eight times so they're scoring even more than 9 a game 🤓

Pitching help is coming. Bello and Whitlock will be ready in 2-3 weeks. Kelly and Ort get sent down, Houck and Cutter become long guys.. This will be a pretty deep pen. But.... yeah. A lot hangs on the fragile appendages of two former aces now in their mid-30s. If this team hangs in there, and management really want to make a run, they have to deal for an elite starter imo

Yeah not great!
The defence... yikes
1 - Casas botched the bunt; he should either have just charged it or headed for the bag, instead he got hung up in no man's land, waiting for it to come to him
2 - In the seventh, Casas' very risky throw to third which put runners on the corners, rather than just taking the out at first
3 - Devers inexplicably not cutting off Yoshida's off-line throw home, allowing Bryan Reynolds to take THIRD
That said even though they were losses it's good to see some low-scoring games. Quality starts from Klubes and Pivetta
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 6 April 2023 07:29 (one year ago) link
I think one high quality starter will be needed this season, and a catcher upgrade. Otherwise.. I'm not so doom and gloom as the chicken little Globe commenters
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 6 April 2023 07:30 (one year ago) link
pirates have been waiting like six years for a dominant mitch keller start, and i guess this was it, if only because that game-tying three-run homer went just foul
at this point there may be little difference -- they both got rocked in their first starts -- but why did kluber get the opener last week and sale the second game?
