Red Sox Likely To Activate Chris Martin From 15-Day IL On Sunday

suit – Where are you getting that bad information from?

He had only one bad game, April 12. Every other start he gave up 3 ER or less.

Remove that one bad game, his ERA is 2.88

Even by including that one bad game, his ERA is 3.93 which is extremely consistent with his performance going back to 2018:

2022 = 3.87
2021 = 3.75
2020 = 3.72
2019 = Injury year (just 12 starts and 67 IP)
2018 = 3.81

I mean come on … it’s fair to say he’s an injury risk without knowing his medicals, but look at how consistently good he has been each year since 2018.

And he’s gone 6 or more innings in each of his last 3 games, which Red Sox starter can say the same?

suit – I know you’ve recently gone at it with others here, but it’s disappointing to see you starting to get personal with me now too.

You leave me no choice.

First of all: If Nate had stayed with the Red Sox, would you have criticized Bloom for keeping him? Ya know, considering every single time Bloom keeps or acquires a player, you praise the move. And every single time Bloom sends a player packing, you praise the decision. See how I can play your game too.

Second of all: Pivetta currently has a 5.11 ERA. Have I bashed Bloom for acquiring him? Have I demanded Bloom get rid of him? Are you gonna deny I’ve been a huge supporter of Pivetta since 2020?

Don’t make foolish accusations about me, you should know better. We all saw how you went after GASox and others because of their criticizing Bloom, and how you tried to run him off. Not cool buddy.

I don’t tolerate false accusations against me. If you don’t want me to respond to your posts anymore because you can’t handle the few times I disagree with you, just say the word.

suit – That’s not the bad information, the bad information was “not pitching well or deep into games”. Nobody on this planet would claim a guy “isn’t pitching well” when he has had only ONE bad start and that was 17 days and 3 starts earlier. Not to mention he has a K/BB ratio of 7.80 on the year, a stat that all the analytics worshipers say is the most important for pitchers. And I posted the 2.88 ERA on the season if you take away the one bad start.

Maybe you’re confusing me with others, but I don’t understand why after all the times I’ve defended Bloom. Just yesterday I defended him on letting JD walk, I would think you saw that.

suit – Why do you continue to ignore the facts that I’ve presented numerous times? He had one bad game 17 days earlier, that’s it.

You said you have seen the BR page, you have seen the game logs, and yet you continue to insist that coming into last night’s game he wasn’t pitching well. It’s not like you to be that irrational, you’re better than that. But I definitely noticed you’ve changed with others, perhaps being surrounded by all the Bloom & Henry criticism – and I don’t mean just here – has gotten to you.

Just stay polite, stay focused on the actual baseball talk and avoid the personal stuff, and you’ll be fine.

suit – If you have two starting pitchers in the same game who each give up 4 runs in 4 innings, the first one is pulled immediately, the second one is left in to give up 5 more runs the next inning, how can you possibly ignore the fact that the second pitcher was left in to take his lumps even though both pitchers didn’t have it that day?

You want to talk hypocrisy? You (and others) saying Bello pitched well last year despite the 4.71 ERA. All of you said the same exact thing, “Look at his last six games, he was great”.

So with Bello you want everyone to disregard his first seven games, but you’re not willing to even acknowledge it was just ONE bad game Nate has had this year.

As for accusing people of being biased, that in itself is “getting personal”. Instead of directly addressing what they write, you are trying to cancel them by portraying them as being biased. It’s unfair and it’s wrong, no different than GASox being accused of being racist after the TRUTH he posted made someone feel uncomfortable. Getting personal is a copout.
