    Easy, watch moneyball mate lol

    Wonder whether we are officially the worst baseball team moving forward.
  3. iortiz
    Geez I'll be shocked if this team wins more than 70 wins this season.
  4. iortiz
    lol

    Geez it's getting embarrassing.

    Hill's attitude is a reflection of the locker-room. The locker room is an intangible asset in a team. Ask Bobby Valentine. Great locker rooms win WS and at times with not necessary very talented teams. The Sox have arguably a couple of examples. Also, this team plays brain dead baseball in a regular basis. That's on Cora. It's unacceptable. And yeah, the BP is atrocious. That's on Bloom.

    I just added further information to the fact that he was horrible under that contract. There's a reason he had to retire while he was still kind of young. He sucked. Regarding his tenure in Det, He was nothing close to good. 3 of those 6 years were bad (50 %). 2 mediocre, and 1 just good. Porcello was a horrible pitcher but who won a CY. Pretty rare I would say. One of a kind if you ask me. He had 7 bad years out of 12 in his career and some were really really bad.
  8. iortiz
    Ort knows that he has to pitch like surgeon, his days in the big leagues are counted. He can breath one more day at least after this inning.
  9. iortiz
    Have they been overused?
  10. iortiz
    Not sure what Hill is complaining about. He created this disaster. Cora lost the locker-room weeks ago.
  11. iortiz
    Either way Hill earned 4 runs in 4 IPs. This team needs that the season ends already.
  12. iortiz
    Seems like Hill didn't like to leave the mound but he was imploding badly.

    LOL you are trying to throw s*** to wall expecting some stick. It won't happen mate. A 4.65 & 5.52 ERA are horrible ERAs. It represents 50% of his tenure under that contract. Also a 4.28 is an ERA of a No. 4 pitcher. Mediocre. If you want to pay 20 M/Y for those ERAs, be my guest, but nobody would, even in today's market. His contract was a mistake from day 1. Now, If you add his 2015 numbers, his tenure in Boston is lamentable. .... and if you add his final days with the NYM, you just confirm the kind of pitcher he was. HORRIBLE.
  14. iortiz
    No you didn't. In my 3905, 3903, 3900 posts I was already talking about a 4 year period. Again, go figure.
  15. iortiz
    No, Check the posts. I don't think you read well. Focus. Two of those four years his ERA+ were under 100 and 1 barley above 100. Again his only one great year was when he surprisingly won the CY. Agian, it doesn't matter how you slice it, he sucked. BTW a 4.65 ERA clip can't be called "Oks" as you try to present. Simply no way.
  16. iortiz
    I'm considering 4 years, when he made 20 M/Y. 2016 (3.15, great), 2017 (4.65, horrible), 2018 (4.28, mediocre), 2019 (5.52, horrible) I'm taking away his also awful 2015 (4.92) BL he was most of the times horrible in Boston uniform. It doesn't matter how you slice it.
  17. iortiz
    Again, under his contract (2016-2019/ 4-Y contract) he had 2 bad (5.52 and 4.62), 1 mediocre (4.28) and one great (3.15) For you, good is 4.23 and oks 4.62. You bar is so low. To put it in context, our pitching staff has a 4.55 ERA. Our pitching staff is one of the worst in baseball FYI
  18. iortiz
    Sale's case is different. He hasn't even pitched for whatever reason, so his contract is horrible too. At the time it made sense. It didn't pan out though. Sale's pedigree was way better than Porcello's before wearing RS uniform. It's not even close and unfair the comparison.
  19. iortiz
    Under that period 2 bad (5.52 and 4.62), 1 mediocre (4.28) and one great (3.15) I guess our definitions of good are bad are not the same lol
  20. iortiz
    Well he was horrible in 2 years, bad in one, mediocre in 1 and great in 1. Put it in my mixer and it is a bad tenure all-in-all.
  21. iortiz
    Porcello was expected to perform at 3+ fWAR in a regular basis in Boston. He didn’t most of his tenure, so yes, he sucked and the contract didn’t pan out well. That’s the point. Again, Porcello had a bad tenure in Boston uniform.
  22. iortiz
    RPs by definition are role players BUT RPs could have their own chart since fWAR takes in consideration (and a lot) IPs. The other day in other post I adjusted the chart. If I recall well the ceiling for RPs was at 3 WAR, and from there you can readjust it.
  23. iortiz
    The 7-run rule was always in effect lol
  24. iortiz
    Thing is that you are not sorting levels as FG does. For FG most pitchers are what they call role and scrub players. Porcello is in that category in most of his tenure in Boston. Only a few (if you consider the universe of SPs) are what they call good or above. Porcello had only one year above good in Boston. One. It is a bad tenure. I think most of the fans expected at least, 3 or 4 years of what FG calls you a "Good" player. It didn't happened, the rest is history.
  25. iortiz
    Still it ain't good.
