  1. Gotta agree. The Yankees have buried us for the division and we're looking at the Wild Card route.
  2. Sox needs: 1. Bullpen. 2. Bullpen. 3. Bullpen.
  3. Toronto has a lousy record and overall weak personnel, but they're trying every game, so they can be a real pain in the ass.
  4. Nothing wrong with that!
  5. I think Bill Belichick is a very smart guy and he's smart enough to know he would never want to be a baseball manager.
  6. LOL there's no need to bring Belichick into this. Every other team knows we have a shaky pen and what that means.
  7. Agreed. And this is all on Dombrowski.
  8. That was one of the worst regular season bullpen meltdowns in Red Sox history. Probably Top 5.
  9. Well, that did it for me. I will no longer defend Dombrowski's offseason work on the pen. It was negligent. dgalehouse was right. notin was right.
  10. I don't see any mystery in pulling Johnson. He was on the IL and has been used mostly in relief, so 83 pitches is actually quite a few.
  11. I know it's complicated, but I doubt they made that big of a mistake, going over by 2.5 million.
  12. I don't think very many fans worry about saving money for the owners. They worry about the front office not spending wisely because they know that hurts the quality of the team on the field.
  13. Wrong. They went over by about 2.5 million. Their final tax bill was about 11.95 million. First 20 million over @ 20% = 4 million Next 20 million over @ 32% = 6.4 million Last 2.5 million over @ 62.5% = 1.55 million
  14. The average batting average in both leagues is .250 as of today.
  15. What??? They won the World Series and it cost them an extra mill or two? Are you freaking serious?
  16. There is a pile of randomness in baseball. It's time for me to recite what Mike Mussina said again. Mussina said that out of 32 starts, he would have 8 where everything was working, 8 where nothing was working, and 16 where something was working.
  17. That may be a fair point. Of course what starters are asked to do, go 6-7 quality innings, is much different from what relievers are asked to do, so it's a bit of apples-oranges.
  18. His career OBP of .299 is not super-impressive. The last guy we lusted after because he could hit home runs in San Diego was A-Gon...
  19. To me the hilarious part is that MLB decided to PROVE the ball is juiced this year by introducing it in AAA ball, where the homer rate has increased by 50%.
  20. Yes, we are doing very well, if by that you mean we're as crazy as ever.
  21. They crossed the top threshold last year when they added Eovaldi, Kinsler and Pearce.
  22. Welcome back to the board!
  23. Yeah, the juiced ball and the distance it's flying is ridiculous. Evidently it's what MLB wants - Launch that thing or Swish!
  24. It's still a small amount for the Red Sox. They took a shot with Thornburg and it didn't pay off. Not a big deal.
