Who is hurting this team so far...?

[iortiz]

Well, there are a lot of perspectives and stats in order to start a case, so.. i will start looking at Runs batting (Rbat, Number of runs better or worse than average the player was as a hitter.)

 

2011 Rbat

 

Carl Crawford -10

Salty -4

Cameron -3

 

When i found out those numbers i was a little bit surprised, mostly about CC. He's been hurting a lot this team when he's AB in order to rate Rs expectancies. On the other hand, he's a 8 Rbat career player so far, but the funny thing is that before signing with Boston he was 17 trough 9 years in that department. This poor stat shows how horrendous was his start with Boston, he has 39 SO just behind Youk and Ells who are 46 and 42 respectively so far; the main difference and that counteract Youk's and Ells' Rbat numbers, are the BB (.33 Linear Weight), that are 31 and 18 respectively, Crawford? 8; another way to rest that 1-2 spot case. CC has not room in the 1-2 spot in this lineup, he doesn't have that required discipline AB in order to take any of those spots. The good, his numbers are improving and hopefully in the end, he surly will be around 17 Rbat again.

Well, i wouldn't put it that way, the idea is to point those players who are under their performance expectancy, and debate about it with perspective and criteria.

 

I hate TF, but if you look at the standings, the team is 2 games behind NY, at this point, the team is leading the wild card column, 2/5 of his starters have been on the DL (now, 1 recently activated and the other with an eminent surgery, both with terrible numbers so far), several players like CC started just pathetic, so... i would weight the hurting in somebody else before TF, wouldn't you?

 

anyway... what would be the percentage in success/failure of a manager in a MLB team? 20%?

[Wasatch]

Francona has made some pretty s***** decisions in quite a few games this year.

[Dojji]

Jusst once I'd like to see one of these threads created when the team has won 3 straight games.

[italstallianion]

What's interesting is that as of right now, Salty has a higher OPS than Miguel Olivo.

even in those streaks, someone will hurt this team.

David Ortiz, Adrian Gonzalez and Josh Beckett. These guys need to step up their game.

It's cool I didn't take it personally anyways. This thread will be mostly Francona bashing. You'll see.

Every time I come on talksox someone get's injured and knocked out for the season so I'd say me

Are you kidding me?, this team has earned 36 Rs in the last five games, our pitching is not hurting this team, is killing it. Are they expecting 8-10 Rs per game of our offense, you'd better make the adjustments boys and quick.

 

We have a pathetic 5.60 ERA in the last 7 days, ranked 27th in the majors in that period. 63H/36Rs/20 BB, and worse, 4/5 games at home against weak BA teams and under .500.

[SoxSport]

Tito kills this team every close game. He is simply a lousy game manager. Especially handling pitchers.

Or should I say overhandling them.

 

When will second guessing Tito start in the media? Don't hold your breath.

This^^^^^ now we have earned 44 Rs so far, these clowns definitely are killing this team (specially you today, Jonathan Papelbon, f*** you!) .

[SoxSport]

hey they tied the game 8-8. this is a helluva team even with tito managing.

[Six4Three]

So far the fans are hurting the team the most.

[Emmz]

Why, because they're criticizing your man-crush, Carl Crawford? Like 10 of your posts are telling people how godly Carl Crawford is.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I'm sure the fans comment wasn't serious.

[Six4Three]

No, because fans criticize Francona too much. I'm not exactly sure who the bashers think could do the job better.

 

Hating on Crawford doesn't hurt the team, it just shows how naive the Red Sox Nation is.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I don't get how it hurts the the team but ok.

[iortiz]

numbers, numbers... gentlemen!

[iortiz]

well, I don't like to point this but in order to be fair, I have to. Our little friend Peddy is (BA/OBP/OPS) .200/.304/.504 last 7 days, .217/.308/.677 last 14 and .242/.345/.682 last 28...he's definitely so far from his avg. numbers... and guess what?, he's been involved in key defensive plays that cost a couple of games.
