A bigger question is have they played good baseball the past two years. Defense, and base running has not been a Red Sox strength.

 

At times they have played good baseball. Offense can slump, defense should never slump (and should be CHEAP to obtain). It's hard for them to put everything together when the team was built like Frankenstein's monster.

Good analogy on Frankenstein.

From what I’ve been told yes. I was told it was not good baseball.

 

So, even the ear test beats stats and metrics, for you.

What metrics had them playing good baseball this series? Caught by glass light? Check swings incorrectly called?

The ear test comes from the eye test as does the stats, and metrics.

By far the most important stat is that we have outscored the opposition 60 times and underscored them 55 times.

Very advanced metrics. Need to dig into the ancient tomes to find how to truly calculate.

Bernardino is the bottom of the league in terms of chase rate, but top 20% in K%. He throws a sinker and a curve and gets nobody to chase. Isn't that weird?

You do realize the word “underscore” means “to emphasize”…

It really is the most confounding of games.

Yes, 'twas intended to enhance the comic effect.

We need someone good at building a Mr. Potato Head. At least no upside down mustaches.

One of the first signs that the world had gone irrevocably to s*** was when kids started making Mr. Potato Head with plastic potatoes instead of real ones.

Maybe? I was just wondering if he was just throwing more in zone pitches and sticking closer to the edge of the plate. His curve doesn't have a lot of break, so he's not trying to throw it in the dirt the way Matt Barnes would with his big 12-6.

To be fair, you were in the hinterlands for a loooong time.

In terms of filling the screen, I can't compete with moon. I'm not even going to attempt to try.

I thought that, when talking about the history of talksox, a gom mention was warranted. Oh bosox21, where art thou?
