    The unintentional pun.

    Sure would be nice if Campbell turns it around. Can't give up on him yet.
  3. Bellhorn04
    We'll have a decent team next year...assuming there's a season. But Brez has more work to do and Henry needs to give him some dough to work with.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Well you may be right. But in September we've got Anthony back and Story back and we've added Rutschman, and we can't even average 3 runs a game.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, their numbers are very interesting. I see they were #1 in OBP. However, out of the top 5 teams in runs scored, 4 of them were also in the top 7 in homers. So there is some correlation there. Anything that adds runs is good, I'm not particular myself.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Brez did great with the run prevention this year but lousy with the run production. A Red Sox team finishing #23 in runs scored is crazy.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Brewers were #2 in runs scored in 2026. Sox were #23.

    Dumping Yoshida and getting a good DH seems like one of the few no-brainers.
  9. Bellhorn04
    But all the average fan really cares about are wins and losses and postseason performance. Brez has made a bunch of good moves but his teams have yet to win 90 games or win more than one postseason game. Expectations of Sox fans are high, admittedly.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Not the worst radical idea I've ever heard.
  11. Bellhorn04
    I've been spoiled by success, I have come to realize it. Winning in the high 80's and making the playoffs in itself just doesn't get it anymore. The postseason is a big deal. The 2021 team probably wasn't a lot better than the 2025 and 2026 teams, but they knocked out the Yanks and Rays and had a real sniff at the ring, so I think of that team fondly.

    That's where a lot of artists make most of their money now, so I sort of get it. In 2009 my wife and I shelled out $300 apiece to see Paul McCartney here in Halifax. I was shaking my head at how nuts it was, yet I didn't regret it. Once in a lifetime thing. Then a few years later we shelled out about $180 apiece to see Tom Petty. It was the Eagles who really made a breakthrough in charging hefty ticket prices. They got a lot of backlash for it. I still remember how Glenn Frey responded to the criticism. He didn't apologize or make any excuses. His answer was classic: "Well, we happen to think we're worth it."

    Houck and Crawford are question marks because they've been out of action so long. Plus they weren't pitching that well when we last saw them. They are just hopeful depth.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Or some nerd geek who did play baseball (Breslow).
  15. Bellhorn04
    Man, it's Rock Em Sock Em on every thread! 😀
  16. Bellhorn04
    Yes, Koufax would be right up there.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Outstanding job by the Brew Crew.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Disagree, Beckett's postseason resume will always be outstanding. 7-2, 3.07 ERA, .94 WHIP, instrumental in 2 rings. How many pitchers have better than that? Gibson, Schilling, who else. I'm guessing Beckett is still in the top 5.
  19. Bellhorn04
    The owners are proposing to cut back to 154 games, increase the LDS to 7 games and fix up the playoff system. These changes actually seem fine.
  20. Bellhorn04
    A cap of 240 million or whatever they're proposing is going to be a hard sell. Because we already know there are teams that can spend a pile more than that and still pay their bills.
  21. Bellhorn04
    But I think it's the roids keeping him out of the HOF. I know about the Mindy McCready story, not sure if that would impact voters or not, but I can't rule it out.
  22. Bellhorn04
    I have e-mailed a bunch of them and usually gotten replies, Shaughnessy even got back to me once, when I called Henry Johnny Lowball. I figured he'd like that one.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Very low, that's why it made more sense to keep him and hope.
  24. Bellhorn04
    True, but that was more of an aberration than the feeble offense was. We were 3rd in runs allowed and 23rd in runs scored.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Yep, he turned to the roids and cost himself his legacy.
