    A pitcher's Won-Lost record is mostly for funsies because it's based on arbitrary rules. You can pitch great and get a loss or pitch lousy and get a win. This is pretty obvious. WAR and WAA are meant to be a true evaluation of a player's contributions to team wins.

    So what does the Sox ad campaign look like right now? "We're raising prices and slashing payroll to improve our bottom line. Won't you help us?" "Mookie Betts - will he be here or won't he? Buy now, find out later!"

    Prospective ticket buyers are in the dark about a lot of things. Including the status of Chris Sale, who still hasn't had that followup visit with Dr. Andrews that was supposedly scheduled for 'mid-November'.

    In retrospect, I'm not sure what the Red Sox were thinking when they made the big statement about trying to get under the $208 million mark. Hopefully they're freaking out a little about ticket sales and realize they're going to take a bath if they stick to that plan.

    It's pretty bad when the only half-interesting news items are the Astros cheating investigation and the Yankees trying to withhold Ellsbury's salary.

    Some folks here expressed the opinion that JD must have talked to the Red Sox about the trade stuff before he made his decision. And that they told him they wouldn't be trading him. I think Sam Kennedy said the team was thrilled about him not opting out.

    I'm just thinking, 2020 might be the year to try things you might normally not do. Especially cheap things. And things that might provide some entertainment.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Thanks for the news flash, harms.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I'd think about Buch too, of course. This might be a good year to try anything LOL

    Texas has been a rather unfriendly ballpark for David.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Nothing to lose, really.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Let's try to be a little optimistic about Sale.

    Well, for starters, we're already over the limit.

    There's nothing wrong with being annoying with someone who's being an uninformed numbskull. Doing it in person if they're a lot bigger than you might not be a great idea, admittedly.

    Theo got lucky when he was with us - probably due to better scouts. The Cubs farm is even worse than ours now.
  17. Bellhorn04
    You said 'a GM like Dombrowski cannot win without spending'. That may be so. But it's also been true of Theo, Ben and Cashman. Does that fact make them bad at what they do? That's my question to you.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Why is the $208 million figure important?
  19. Bellhorn04
    The difference, I believe, is that Sandoval had language explicitly written into his contract acknowledging that he was never in shape and never would be in shape.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Getting people to change their beliefs on this particular issue has probably become one of the easier tasks. Just say 'back to back Cy Young award winner Jacob DeGrom' until they shut up.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Since I'm still somewhat in 'defend poor Dave' mode... Have Theo and Ben won anything with small payrolls?
  22. Bellhorn04
    That's just one part of the issue though. The other is that teams like the Red Sox can spend $200 million plus and still make money and have the franchise value grow. So shouldn't they spend that money? The alternative is to pocket it. We know that they're not going to reduce prices.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, until we set them straight.
  24. Bellhorn04
    There may not even be a 2022 season if that's what owners are pushing for.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Those must be really casual fans, unaware of the existence of Jacob DeGrom...
