  1. ESPN 24 79 23 78 22 87 Everyone knows they're now the Maestros of Mediocrity.
  2. Yes, this seems to be where things are. The NL is getting stronger and the AL is getting weaker. How'd that happen?
  3. Sure, you want me to waste my time looking up pre-season win projections for the last 3 years. I don't have to. I'm fully confident that the consensus projections for the Sox the last 3 years were somewhere in the 80-85 win range. I'm here all the time and I know we talked about the projections. Furthermore, at the end of each of the last 3 seasons hardly anyone said the Sox underachieved significantly and hardly anyone called for Cora's head. He got an extension in fact. If you insist on a look-up, I'll do it if I get time.
  4. 500-ish is something like 78-84 wins, like the Red Sox of the 2022-2024 seasons. Kind of obvious. Why do you ask questions like that?
  5. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the pre-season projected win totals (.500 ish) for the Sox the past 3 years turned out to be fairly accurate.
  6. Very George Costanza-esque, I know.
  7. Wow, how embarrassing. Great job Sox FO!
  8. As for signing Vlad as a free agent, if there are any other serious bidders, you know how that'd turn out! 😛
  9. moon said he'd trade Mayer for him if we get to unload Yoshida in the deal.
  10. I'm sure John Henry wouldn't mind dumping Raffy's contract for prospects. That'd be 30 mill a year more for FSG shareholders.
  11. So what exactly is your theory for the Sox commanding lead on the We Tried Tracker? https://blogs.fangraphs.com/introducing-the-we-tried-tracker/
  12. Sox could afford to sign 2 more quality relievers. That would make the pitching potentially solid. But the fact they already signed J. Wilson probably makes 2 additions unlikely. Can we have 1 at least? Yes, I know, Kyle Finnegan. I'd take him too when it comes down to it. Hell, I might take Kenley or Chris back.
  13. But who would be fabricating, and if there is fabricating, why wouldn't the Sox get it out there that it was inaccurate? If they're not really the Interest Kings, why are they letting the Interest Kings image run wild like this?
  14. Bumping this. Holmes and Treinen are the only ones on this list signed to date, is that correct?
  15. Yeah, sure seems like he was playing hurt, and they decided the proper move was to let him keep playing hurt!
  16. But hey, what does FanGraphs know? It's not like they're just using totally objective data and formulas or anything like that.
  17. OK, I get your point, O'Neill did most of his good work earlier in the season too. That in itself does not mean subtracting him will make us a better offense.
  18. This is a team that played .420 ball after the ASB last year, folks. The offseason rejuvenates our optimism because we're fans. Something like the golf offseason makes me forget my crappier shots and think I'm going to play better next year somehow.
  19. The offense was very good in the first half of August. The crater opened in mid-August. First 14 games of August - 85 runs Second 14 games - 49 runs September 26 games - 94 runs Last 40 games - 143 runs = 3.58 per game.
  20. Now that's just mean about our new pitching lab project Justin Wilson...
  21. If they don't sign a half-decent reliever with some of that cash, it'll be malfeasance of the highest order...again.
  22. There's not that much left in the free agent hitter aisle that makes sense as an acquisition. My confidence in this FO doing the things that need to be done is shattered, obviously.
  23. Or maybe we're just not the brightest bulbs on the tree.
  24. Well played, but still, the more I think about it, the more I think it's kind of funny we're brushing off the loss of O'Neill. Our offense wasn't very good, it was horrible late in the season even with Casas and Story back, we subtracted our #2 OPS guy and added nothing...where the heck is the improvement going to come from? It's all on the kids, like I say.
