    Yep. And the value of his 2018 postseason performance can't even be measured.
  2. Bellhorn04
    FanGraphs has Price at a 2.6 WAR and $20.7 million equivalent free agent dollars for the season to date. He hasn't been earning his full salary since we got him, but he's far from a bust too.
  3. Bellhorn04
    The protection thing is predicated on the idea that Mookie is now getting better pitches to hit. That's something that should be detectable in the pitch data. I don't have the data so I can't comment on that. On an 'anecdotal' basis, though, from reading game threads, what some posters were saying about Mookie when he was in a funk was that he was getting good pitches and not swinging at them, his approach was too passive. Again, that would be in the pitch data.

    I'm very skeptical that it has anything to do with it. Certainty either way is impossible.
  5. Bellhorn04
    What you said was crap and I pointed it out. If you can't deal with it, that's your problem.
  6. Bellhorn04
    That's pretty wild considering Eovaldi only has 4 starts.
  7. Bellhorn04
    WAR isn't a debate-ender. That's a straw man.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, this offense is so bad, it's hard to believe it leads the majors in runs per game. Sandy Leon is a defensive backup catcher. Most teams have one.
  9. Bellhorn04
    But numbers should back it up. Mookie had his career season in 2018 with Beni hitting behind him. Now we're supposed to believe Mookie's recent hot streak is only because they put someone better than Beni behind him?
  10. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, well, it's nothing but crickets on the Beni thing.
  11. Bellhorn04
    What sometimes gets overlooked is that WAR is a 'counting stat', not a 'rate stat'. Quantity is a big part of it.
  12. Bellhorn04
    He won't be a savior but he can certainly upgrade it.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Beni had an .809 OPS batting second in 2018. He has an .809 OPS batting second in 2019.
  14. Bellhorn04
    So how do we explain Mookie's OPS being about 200 points higher in 2018 with Beni hitting behind him? These theories fall apart if you actually take the time to dig into the numbers.
  15. Bellhorn04
    The way I look at WAR, it's an excellent *starting point* when analyzing a player's performance.
  16. Bellhorn04
    However you look at it, today was very encouraging. Sale is an intense competitor and I'm sure he's been working his ass off.
  17. Bellhorn04
    That's exactly why I don't like looking at things that way. If you just say we're 3 games out of a Wild Card spot on July 18 it doesn't sound nearly as daunting.
  18. Bellhorn04
    In this game Mookie Betts tied Ted Williams' franchise record of 13 straight games in one season with a run scored.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Eovaldi pitched an inning for the PawSox today. 3 K's and a walk.

    Eovaldi pitched an inning for the PawSox today. 3 K's and a walk.
  21. Bellhorn04
    He's a pretty good shell.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Triple fail post, nice job.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I suspect that opposing teams have a game plan of trying to make our starters throw as many pitches as possible.
  24. Bellhorn04
    The Yankees & Rays games before July 31 should push the needle one way or the other.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Far worse, in fact. If we extrapolate the current record to 50 games to equate to 2018, the record would be 5-45, or 8 games worse.
