WookiesOnRitalin Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Sox pitching has really been the main reason the season has slumped so early combined with the early injuries. The Sox are only 13 and 14 runs scored behind Houston and Toronto respectively despite the injury bug. The Sox additionally have 4 starters in the top 14 in strikeouts (currently 4th in the AL). The problem is walks. Control issues seem to be the main thing holding back this staff and thus this team. Free baserunners is killing our chances of winning and if the the staff can figure it out, then we could see a fast improvement over the next several months. It is also clear that the lineup is missing a power bat. You would always hope that Eloy, Robert, and Vaughan were providing more power, but they just are not. If Hahn would be smart, he would figure out how to get another power bat in the lineup. Not sure who is available. The team is also dead last in walks. Any improvement in working counts and being patient would also lead to improvement as imagine. I think the hitting could just maybe use a change of philosophy.

You have to be able to control the running game and challenge other teams on the basepaths in this current version of the game. We're definitely not throwing out the big league average of 20%. The DBacks one prime example of a team that takes advantage of the new rules with Carroll and Gabriel Moreno from the Varsho deal. Sox just have Robert as a true defensive difference maker.

flavum Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Sox have to go 4-3 vs Twins the rest of the way to clinch a tie. The other 89, Sox would have to go 51-38 for 84 wins. Under 10% still makes sense. Not expecting much in LA and Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 You can't win with your entire offense underperforming expectations other than Burger Robert and maybe Grandal... And you're still playing with fire not backing up your rotation with any quality depth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue of course is the same incompetent, dysfunctional, inept front office will be in charge of the most recent tear down/rebuild. But keeping the status quo with this "baseball-stupid" club also isn't a winning solution. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos’ projections are for 111 Games played, so ZIPS more relevant for established players, less or not relevant beyond theoretical contributions for AAA prospects or year long reserve players. Smart teams don’t burn money on the bullpen. I believe the Sox are top 3 this year in bullpen spending, including DFA Diekman.
