  1. Congratulations, Kimmi.
  2. Every team in baseball has a process that's hit and miss. That should be kind of obvious. No team has had anything resembling a dynasty this century.
  3. But his slumps are actually all over the place. 2 of his 3 best months are May and June.
  4. Not really. The team has won 4 titles in 15 years and high priced free agents have played major roles in all them. (A lot of dead money has resulted too, no one can deny that.) The team owners have been raking it in in spite of that dead money. Championships + profits + market appreciation. I don't see how you can argue with the results.
  5. If you pick on the team's current record it doesn't look like spending correlates to winning. But it's a franchise that has generally had a lot of success with high priced talent since Henry bought the team.
  6. I never have to use any of that stuff in accounting LOL
  7. "Indeterminate" - I really like that word.
  8. Yes, infinity is one of those concepts that goes a little beyond what our minds can handle-my mind, anyway. And of course, as you well know, the product of any number divided by zero is infinity.
  9. Check what and where, Kimmi?
  10. Eovaldi did make 4 starts this season before the issue arose. There's no real reason not to think this developed after the start of the season.
  11. Sure, but as we've said many times, these guys didn't get rich by being stupid.
  12. Of course not. At the same time, no one in their right mind would expect the Rays to spend as much on players as us or the Dodgers. There are big inequities in revenues and that's why the luxury tax came into being.
  13. The owners are not all in the same boat. There's a large gap between the rich teams and the poor teams. The cap is only an issue for the rich teams, like us. We're lucky that our owner is willing to pay some tax.
  14. Fans can be as optimistic or pessimistic as they want. I think at this point it's realistic to have some doubts we're going to surge past both the Yankees and the Rays.
  15. Cot's shows us with about 6.2 million of room below the death cap of 246 million.
  16. You're suggesting they might essentially tank for a better draft pick if it seems advantageous?
  17. Yes, a .692 OPS translates to 1.6 more seasons making 12 million for the PawSox.
  18. The fact is we're 2 games out of the second Wild Card spot on June 13. The team has been hugely disappointing thus far and no one should be shaking their pompoms. On the other hand it's the same team that was the class of baseball last year. Every fan can decide for themselves whether there's reason for optimism or not. I still have optimism but I wouldn't bet a pile of money on us either. Bottom line is there's a lot of uncertainty either way, and it's a long freakin' season.
  19. I guess hockey is a crazy game too. The visiting team won 5 of the 7 games. The Bruins won by 7-2 and 5-1 scores in St. Louis. But St. Louis won the last 3 in Boston.
  20. The Red Sox don't match up on an EE deal in any way. We don't have what the Mariners want, and a RH slugger should be far from our biggest priority. Our obvious need is the bullpen. On offense, we need the current guys to perform to their abilities.
  21. Yes it was. Bogey did not sit against TBR.
  22. The catch is, in our position we may well need a win every game from now on. So your philosophy would mean no rest days at all.
  23. That was last year.
  24. A calculator that's into “Ancient Aliens” is pretty damn cool.
