They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

Connor Seabold funnily enough been according to some metrics like a league average pitcher this year. His ERA+ (which tries to adjust ERA for park factors - i.e. Coors Field) of 99 is 1% worse than league average (100). His xERA from StatCast is in the 43rd percentile. SoxProspects's scouting report described his ceiling as "a depth starter on a second division team" - starting for a couple years in Colorado isn't a bad gig for him.
That said, I will be sorely disappointed if we don't light him up tonight.

That said, I will be sorely disappointed if we don't light him up tonight. He was a reliever at the start of the year, which might be helping those numbers. As a starter his ERA/FIP/xFIP is 5.03/5.71/5.89. The ERA is actually slightly better as a starter, but the other numbers are a lot worse. |

I am a bad person that roots against almost everyone that leaves the Sox, but I am def rooting for Seabold to hang around for a bit and make some money.

This story in The Globe has Whitlock starting on Weds in the last paragraph:
The Red Sox begin a three-game series with the Rockies at Fenway Monday. James Paxton is scheduled to start against Connor Seabold, who has made 14 appearances for Colorado after being traded there for cash in January. Kutter Crawford will toe the slab against Chase Anderson Tuesday, followed by Garrett Whitlock against Austin Gomber Wednesday. Colorado is last in the National League at 27-40, its 367 runs allowed worse than all but Oakland.

As we get ready for tonight's game, I just have to leave this here. Bello was approaching "Pedro-esque" vibes last night, to my eyes. Feeling very optimistic about his career.

And Abraham in the Globe yesterday said that the TBD was because they were waiting to see how Whitlock felt. |

So, there are 8 teams in MLB with a score of less than -0.5 in b-Ref's schedule-adjusted run differential metric: A's, Royals, Tigers, Rockies, Nats, White Sox, Mets, and Marlins.
Games against them played so far by AL East and other WC candidates:
22 Orioles 19 Rays 19 Angels 16 Astros 13 Blue Jays 6 Yankees 3 Red Sox
And we're 4 games back in the WC race, with 96 games left.
While the O's are hosting the Jays and the Angels are playing the Rangers, the other contenders are also playing another of the Lame 8: Rays - A's, Astros - Nats, Yankees - Mets.

Congratulations, Steve Cohen, on buying your way into this elite company. |

Duran starting in LF tonight, Yoshida sitting. [in my best "announcer voice" from my college radio station/party dj days - which means it's the Heavy Metal Concert/Truck and Tractor Pull voice]: And not just Duran in left field, sports fans! Here's the full line-up!

"the Red Sox farm system cannot develop starting pitchers."
Almost overnight, that appears to be untrue.

Paxton PA little interesting to me to go Duvall in center and Duran in left. Duvall's probably better there, but Duran's actually been pretty good and I'm surprised they're moving him around. |

I would like to think that Bello is on a one-man campaign to force FanGraphs to punt the utterly indefensible use of FIP in their WAR.
In his last four legit starts (not on 6 days res) he has an expected BABIP of .255. It was .227 against the Yankees.
Right now, the expected BABIP's of the top 150 starters in # of BABIP plays range from .240 to .427.

Be interesting if they keep Duval in CF all year or move him to first base some. It's going to be hard for Cora to juggle 6 players for 5 lineup spots when they all seem like everyday players. Between Casas, Turner, Yoshida, Duval, Duran, and Verdugo. |

"the Red Sox farm system cannot develop starting pitchers." Almost overnight, that appears to be untrue. My fingers are crossed. But, it’s a bit early to take a victory lap. Bello is really the only one who looks like a legit top 2-3 starter so far. The others have good stuff. But, have to see them string a bunch of starts together. |

Between Casas, Turner, Yoshida, Duval, Duran, and Verdugo. Sounds like people are gonna get some regular rest! Good problem to have. Duran is also probably best viewed as a bench player now, although I do think he'll play a fair amount. He's basically the new Tapia. |

Zero reason why the Sox shouldn't sweep these bums.

Beauty defense to save a run by Arroyo. Paxton gets out of it.
Paxton’s “through the lineup” numbers are crazy btw.
