I disagree. A sports franchise is different because sometimes they actually are much better off by getting worse. When you trade high priced talent for prospects you get worse but your farm improves. When you finish last you get higher draft picks. Sports franchises are in a constant state of flux. Another thing that's different about sports franchises is that sometimes the team owners make much higher profits by putting a crappy team on the field.

The offense has lost some games, sure, but overall they are doing their job.
-
Personally I think the only thing DD should have done differently this season was do more about the bullpen. Most of the rest comes down to s*** happens. If it was that easy to repeat, someone else would have done it this century. It's all been one and dones. And we have 3 or 4 more titles than almost every other team this century. I'll take it.

This is 100% illogical when it comes to a sports franchise. it's obviously impossible to improve the team's record each year. All you can do is be as good as possible given your circumstances.
-
Maybe Dombrowski thought the 2018-2019 teams were like the 2007-2008 teams, not the 2013-2014 teams.
-
What I'm saying is that they're scoring plenty of runs, but the pitching sucks. If the pitching was better the W-L record would be where it should be. -
I fail to see what any of that has to do with the ongoing struggles of Sale, Porcello and the bullpen.

The Starting Rotation Performance Thread
Bellhorn04 replied to YastrzemskI's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
GTFO with your lame attempts at being reasonable! -
So how come the offense is good and it's the pitching that sucks? It's nonsense to try to tack it on all on Cora and his ST approach. We've got pitchers who are just not getting it done and I'm sure they're pretty damn frustrated about it.
-
Yeah, I guess we'll have to console ourselves with our 4 rings since the Mariners last made the playoffs.
-
Condensed version: Guys, you're f***ed. So suck on it. Hahahahahahahahaha
-
I just can't believe how bad our pitching is. That's about all I can say.
-
It's not exactly a super-bold prediction, considering the dude is almost 32 and had barely pitched in MLB until last year.
-
LOL what a difference a few hours makes, huh?
-
Maybe and maybe.
-
I think it's just shuttling guys to and from Pawtucket, Nick. Brasier pitched the last 3 in a row so he was the logical candidate to go down.
-
Starting with 2019 there are no trades after July 31.
-
I don't think it's about him being worn down. They're basically shuttling relievers who have options back and forth between Boston and Pawtucket right now to have as many fresh arms as possible.
-
JBJ's 2019 WAA is -0.3 per B-R. His WAR per B-R is 0.9. But isn't WAA pretty much derived from WAR?
-
Nope, not joking at all.
-
Nah, he's just being shuttled after pitching 3 days in a row. He'll be back shortly when the next guy gets shuttled. Nothing else they can do right now.
-
What I like about WAR is that it tries to address questions like this one: does JBJ's defense offset his bad offense enough to make him a valuable player?
-
Very little in major league baseball is easy, when you think about it.
-
I don't watch that many games any more so without the stats I'd be pretty lost as to what was going on.
-
I don't believe that, no. But I do believe it's quite possible his play hasn't been anything special this year. It's like a lot of other stats. You look at the current year but you also look at the career numbers. His career numbers clearly show he's a well-above average CFer. But performances can vary a lot.
