You can’t just make a second thread. WTH?

Hamilton in at SS. That should work.....NOT

Having a FIP that much higher than the ERA usually means most of the SOX starters have been lucky. At least that's my understanding of FIP.

That being said, a 1.92 ERA is still damn impressive.

Re-watching that collision from yesterday begs the question should the SOX players where their helmets on defense?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I hope those kids don't cause any injuries to the SOX players.

[wyo-sox]

Pitchers have been all hitting their upside. How long can that last? Who knows. Too bad the defense or bats weren't a little more consistent behind them. Nice start by Whitlock.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Did NESN lose all their sponsors?

FIP is all about Ks, BBs and HRs, or things that are Fielding Independent.

 

I think we all know our fielders hurt our pitchers.

 

Look at our BAbip Against vs the other leaders.

[d-money]

Getting exposed against good competition.

[Tedballgame]

That was one of the dumbest base running plays I’ve ever seen.

[wyo-sox]

Casas... what in the world???

[d-money]

That was one of the dumbest base running plays I’ve ever seen.

 

This team is doing a lot of dumb stuff

[Tedballgame]

What would possess Casas to try to steal third? YOU CANT FIX STUPID

[Tedballgame]

Naturally, they get two hits after that.

[bmattioli]

Cora won't make it until Memorial day.

[vegasbob]

Casas is on the spectrum, in case it is not obvious to all. On 2nd, no outs, down 2, what else would you do but lumber towards 3B ? Truly pathetic. Let's just hope he didn't either see a sign or mistake hold for run.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

OB's too serious to do the play-by-play for this SOX team. Youk is just too damn boring. What this booth needs is a comedian, a Uecker type. The SOX will provide endless material. Edited April 16, 2024 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Casas inner Ricky Henderson makes an untimely appearance.

[d-money]

From the bruins possibly choking first place it could be a terrible night.

[vegasbob]

Cora won't make it until Memorial day.

 

If I were him, I'd resign rather than let these numbnuts color my future in baseball

Move Sean McDonough over to TV. I am not sure we would ever be able to get up off the floor.

[wyo-sox]

Please stop with the stupid hands in the air rally monster thing..... You shouldn't be having this much fun losing.

[illinoisredsox]

Cora won't make it until Memorial day.

 

Care to expand on your reasoning?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It doesn't take a lot of time to go from Champs to Chumps.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Move Sean McDonough over to TV. I am not sure we would ever be able to get up off the floor.

 

Sign me up for that.

[illinoisredsox]

He's not giving up his ESPN gig to do full time PxP for the Sox.

 

He's going to be gone for at least a month right now for the Stanley Cup playoffs.

[illinoisredsox]

Two chances to make a play and the Sox make neither.
