    That's not really the point though. We're a little unlucky in that the AL has teams with better records fighting for the Wild Card than the NL does this year. It's no excuse for our situation by any means.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Show us your numbers on that, please... But seriously, a lot of it can be good old randomness. You will definitely find teams with good bullpens that underperform their Pythag.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Our Pythag record is 78-61, so we've had some bad luck on top of everything else. Not to mention where we'd be if we were in the NL. Just one of those years.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Sure, but then when we play Houston we have to face Verlander every game. You can see where I'm goin' with that...

    This year is a disaster. No one's arguing about that.

    Using average salaries of MLB pitchers is wrong. Look at his dollar values in FanGraphs, which are based on free agent salary costs, and get back to me.

    As opposed to the shallow juggernauts, which are really nothing special...

    E-Rod would be the #1 on a lot of teams with his numbers, and the #2 on a bunch of others. An ERA of 3.81 might not look that flashy in Old School terms, but you also have to look at the following facts: 1) The overall ERA in MLB this year is 4.52. 2) He pitches half his games in Fenway, which as always has a Park Factor of over 105 favoring offense. 3) His ERA+ is now 128. 4) He's now 7th in the AL in innings pitched.

    Apparently it's not that hard at all.

    Twins reliever Brusdar Graterol: "Name that sounds like the most like a clever new kitchen gadget being sold on The Shopping Network".
  11. Bellhorn04
    Now that's a pigpen.

    I think if you look at the game threads two months ago, like right after the Yankees bombed us in London, you'll see a lot of negativity. The game threads are the easiest place to find negativity, of course. You can also look at moon's Realistic thread around that time. I'll take a look myself if I get a chance. Anyway it doesn't really matter of course. This season is what it is - disappointing from start to finish.

    You had lots of company, actually.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Also interesting to see the same stat for other teams this year. Not sure where to find the data.
  15. Bellhorn04
    LOL yes, he should be proud.
  16. Bellhorn04
    harmony stepping up with the humor!

    Porcello is having a horrible year this year, no argument. His other years here, though, you can't just look at the ERA, you have to look at innings pitched, Quality Starts etc. Porcello has been one of the most durable, consistent innings-eaters in the game, which was a big part of his value.
  18. Bellhorn04
    The important thing is that everyone has someone or something to blame. My main source of blame for this year is that miserable prick Mr. Shithappens. Hate that guy.
  19. Bellhorn04
    So what about E-Rod and Bogaerts and Devers and a few others? You're saying they magically rose above it all somehow?
  20. Bellhorn04
    And what about E-Rod. How can he be possibly pitching so well after all that babying? Hard to figure...
  21. Bellhorn04
    And let's not forget the babying of Cashner in ST...oh wait...
  22. Bellhorn04
    Eovaldi's issue this year was the same one he had last year when he was, um, with Tampa Bay.
  23. Bellhorn04
    True that.
  24. Bellhorn04
    So you really think a veteran pitcher like Rick Porcello in his contract year is posting a 6 ERA because Cora babied him in ST? I think you have to be kidding. And Sale wasn't fully healthy at the end of last year to begin with.
  25. Bellhorn04
    They can afford it. But a lot of the contracts do turn into albatrosses. It's not much fun paying piles of money to guys like Sandoval and Castillo to play in San Fran or Pawtucket. So you can understand some hesitation in just signing these things like they're car rental agreements.
