  1. @PeteAbe: #RedSox after 39 games last season: 22-17, two games out. #RedSox after 39 games this season: 20-19, half-game out.
  2. Please be good Buchholz. Please be good Buchholz. Please be good Buchholz. Please be good Buchholz.
  3. Well, it is a unique situation. I think the Sox need him more than he needs the Sox.
  4. "Should" honor the contract. Unfortunately, that's not how MLB works. Considering his divorce, I bet he wants one more payday. Unless Barnes/Owens/et al move up quickly, Lackey still has more leverage, especially if the Sox underperform this year.
  5. Is that a lowball offer though?
  6. If they want to keep him happy, they'll offer a 3 year deal. 3/39ish? Seeing that Buch and Doubs are still suspect, they'll do anything to keep Lester and Lackey around.
  7. Ortiz - 7 seasons with 100+ RBI ARod - 14 seasons with 100+ RBI
  8. Except for level 3-1 where timing your hop right would give you infinite lives. Boom. Silver sword stinks.
  9. OBP and SLG are far from the plasma cannons of advanced statistics. Batting average is like hoping on a Koopa in Mario. OBP is like the silver sword in Zelda.
  10. My right hand is better than my left, it doesn't make my left hand useless.
  11. Dude, you got a little wOBA on your face. You may want to wash it off. How come everyone else's views are "simplistic?" If it's a statement you don't agree with, it doesn't make it simplistic. We all know how OPS is calculated. This isn't some holy grail of advanced analysis bestowed on us. You said batting average is nearly useless. While there are a ton of other advanced stats that are "better," it doesn't make batting average useless.
  12. The only problem with only looking at OBP is that a single is more valuable to moving runners than walks. I think you have to look at all statistics. Favoring one and ignoring others is just as silly as completely ignoring RsBI and BA. Saying a stat like BA is useless is pretty snobby imo, especially when that stat does have value.
  13. Harrumph harrumph!!! Thank you for outing him as a brony.
  14. Well rested. Should be able to go 162!
  15. JBJ is already one of the best defensive CFs today. He'll be given a long leash.
  16. Young Doug Flutie too.
  17. If they trade for an OF it's to replace LF not CF.
  18. Which is?
  19. Really? Wow. How's that going? What training did they give you? Also, umpires don't care about hits vs errors. That's the scorekeeper's job.
  20. Why? Tom Brady isn't going to last forever.
  21. Lee was a joy to watch at USC. He struggled a little last year. Hopefully it was just due to injury. He's a fantastic story. Read the grantland piece on him.
  22. Willie McGinist is working heel. Fantastic!
