  1. The play under discussion, the sacrifice fly by the Jays in the 9th, was demonstrably a negative outcome for the Jays. Here's a case where stat geekery actually provides proof. If you look at the game log, you will see that the Red Sox Win Probability went from 99% to 100% after that play.
  2. What about the guy pitching for the Jays tonight, David Phelps? He might be an OK addition to the pen for not a huge cost.
  3. What I say is this: Beni and Jackie are not superstars, but they're good players. Are there really a whole pile of reasonably-priced, available outfielders who are as good as or better than Beni and Jackie floating around in MLB that we can get to replace them?
  4. Don't go over to the dark side, man.
  5. He's pretty consistent, actually, as his season-to-season numbers show. And of course he's a few days short of 25.
  6. "Not given adequate opportunities", now that's a subtle new way of referencing Restgate LOL.
  7. Correlation something something...
  8. Well, I think you're a facts and numbers guy like me. So what, exactly, is the evidence that Porcello's ramp-up this year was significantly different than last year's?
  9. What return pitcher exactly?
  10. Yes, that's a wee bit of an issue.
  11. A .778 OPS is not horrible. Beni has hovered around the .800 mark over the least few years. Don't be swayed by the doomsayers.
  12. The lack of patience shown by some fans is way beyond ridiculous, Denny.
  13. Don't tell me you're looking to trade Beni too.
  14. Well done sir.
  15. That's right. They're all individuals, and when you look at them as individuals, the Restgate thing kind of falls apart. Take Porcello. He pitched 12 innings in spring. He usually pitches 15 or 16, I assume. Does anyone really think the drop of 3-4 spring innings screwed his season? We're talking about a veteran pitcher whose resume suggests he knows how to prepare and how to keep himself in condition. And who is in a contract year, I might add.
  16. So the NESN announcers were being homers?
  17. So how do we explain the excellent seasons of Devers, Bogey and Vazquez? How do we explain the improvement in Devers's defense?
  18. So if I'm following along correctly, you think we should trade both Betts and Beni ASAP? What about JBJ? Hell, let's trade the whole outfield! That'll shake up the team.
  19. What, were there actual promos of the "Pretty Beni Swing" or something?
  20. Yes, Max, I think it's entirely possible that Restgate has been overplayed just a wee bit. The starters pitched fewer innings than normal, but they weren't entirely inactive by any means. One can also dig up plenty of examples of pitchers who have had a small number of innings pitched in spring or zero innings pitched in spring and suffered no apparent ill effects. The ultimate explanation might be just that there are a lot of variances and randomness in baseball that no one has ever been able to explain.
  21. Tyler, you're making me see double.
  22. If not them, someone equally pathetic.
  23. I'm not sure he tends to panic any more than other owners.
  24. That's disgusting, and anyone who calls him that is the scum of sports journalism.
