How to score a lot of runs

[mvp 78]

FWIW, the Red Sox:

 

- Have the most wins in baseball (87)

- Have the biggest run differential (+162)

- Have the best home record in baseball (47-25)

- Have the highest team OPS in baseball (.795)

- Have the highest team OBP in baseball (.350)

- Have the highest team SLG in baseball (.446)

- Have the most extra base hits in baseball (511)

- Are 4th in baseball in stolen bases (111)

- Are 1st in baseball in SB% (85%)

 

Very, very impressive stuff.

Farrell sucks! Ben is a boob! John Henry is a vampire who sleeps in a 15th century coffin and murdered someone on his boat. Well, the last one is probably still true.

It's not quite as good an attack as 2003 (where the #8 hitter won the batting title and the #9 hitter hit 24 homeruns) ... but it has been it's equal for sheer depth and difficulty to negotiate.

 

Has to be one of the top 10 offenses of all time.

Very impressive, especially since our #3 hitter is having an off year, and our #4 hitter missed a month.

This is all thanks to the power of Johnny Gomes and his beard.

Gomes' beard may be the most impressive, but I wouldn't dismiss Napoli and Pedroia so easily.

And until Middlebrooks got recalled, we got very little production out of the 3b spot.

Truer words have never been spoken.

With a four month hole at 3B for sure. To be fair, Pedroia has not had an MVP level year like 2008, 2011 but this year is right in line with a typical good Pedroia season (and more or less in line with what the various prediction services predicted). He is still a major plus - bit less power than 2012 but much more consistency.
