  1. How do you know all this, Denny? Do you actually sit in the bleachers at a lot of games and talk to these average fans? When I go on message boards (I visit some other ones as well), I see a lot of comments that use newer stats. Which suggests to me that there are a lot of people interested in them - and it seems to me anything that promotes interest is a good thing.
  2. So many do. Just look at that closer the Mets acquired from the Mariners this offseason. After the 2018 season he had, what could possibly go wrong for the Mets on that one?
  3. Isn't that when most big deadline trades have historically occurred, though? Theo traded Nomar at the very last moment. I think part of the problem is that in the internet world we're constantly hungering for fresh news. As soon as we get some, we devour it and we're hungry for more.
  4. 8th player in MLB history with 5 3-homer games. OPS up to .906. What say you?
  5. E-Rod has been a human rabbit's paw the last 2 seasons with the run support.
  6. Part of that is just what you might call force of habit or sticking with the familiar, I guess. I think a starting pitcher's W-L record is still something of interest, and in some cases it can be indicative of how they've pitched. It's just another one of those numbers that have to be looked at in context to other numbers, especially run support.
  7. Even the fans in the bleachers now know a pitcher's W-L record is a very unreliable indicator of performance.
  8. Yeah, we're not trading for Syndergaard or any other starters. Cashner was it. If we're lucky Dave will get us another legit reliever and call it a day.
  9. Who on earth would want to trade this guy? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
  10. A lot of people think the rise in prominence of the shift is what led to all the launch angle stuff and guys swinging for the fences. I'm comfortable with blaming that jackass Joe Maddon for all of it.
  11. OTOH it might get better if they 'modify' the baseball.
  12. They're also going to start cheating, if yesterday's game is any indication.
  13. Mitch might not even fetch a bag of Manfred Missiles right now.
  14. If that's what you get from the comments from Kimmi and me, you need to lighten up a little.
  15. I wish I could agree, but I think they'll have a pretty good shot at it.
  16. I think it's been a while now since the pen outright blew a game...
  17. I'm grateful right now that the Bambino got banned.
  18. It's the year of the Manfred Missile.
  19. I don't think the Sox will be 'in trouble' if they split. Losing 3 of 4 and giving up piles of runs, however, could really dampen the front office's enthusiasm for our chances.
  20. The pitching was a lot better last year.
  21. I'm guessing you liked him a little better last year.
  22. ??? He's been hitting 5th most of the time the whole month of July.
  23. He was 5 for 9 in the first 2 games of this series...
