    That's what the perception always was. Then the analytics guys pointed out that the Wall gives and takes - a lot of balls that would be out in other parks hit the wall and go for singles or doubles instead. But one thing's for sure, the Sox have been brutal at Fenway the last two years.

    I think that was a song by Tony Bennett. I left my bat In Colorado A mile high on a hill It waits for me
  3. Bellhorn04
    Well, it doesn't necessarily mean that, but it's often used that way.

    I really believe they are being run in a committee type fashion. The latest evidence of this was the comments by Zack Scott. Everything was we this and we that. And hardly anyone even knows who the heck Zack Scott is or was. Plus of course we had the reports about Bregman, that Cora and Kennedy wanted him and Breslow wasn't as keen. It would explain a lot about the way things have been going and all the mixed messages.

    A lot of that is surely blind luck, considering we haven't done so well in so many other areas.

    The thing about O'Neill is he absolutely murdered LH pitching last year with a 1.180 OPS. We're going to be even worse against LH pitching this year than we were last year. Keep in mind our LH hitters OPS'd a catastrophic .629 against LH pitchers last year.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Yuck. Their cheapskatery is really altering our thought processes.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Understood, but the facts remain that O'Neill was our third best hitter last year, had a 2.5 WAR and has not been replaced in any way, shape or form. It's the latter part that's the real issue.
  9. Bellhorn04
    You're saying O'Neill was/is a bench bat?
  10. Bellhorn04
    I won't. But I also won't be surprised if they don't.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Me too. Then again, as fans our job is to stay hopeful until hope is completely snuffed. And the Sox of recent years really know how to snuff.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Oh, I'm sure they've been working hard on that extension offer. The only problem will be when Crochet and his agent see the numbers. 😛
  13. Bellhorn04
    Our most reliable RH bats are actually Wong and Refsnyder. 🙃
  14. Bellhorn04
    I've been saying it for a while now, the only real hope for the 2025 offense is the kids.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Shaughnessy actually said this about 3 years ago: "The Red Sox like one-year deals the way I like ice cream".
  16. Bellhorn04
    Don't disagree with any of that, but Breslow did make a point of talking about balancing the lineup, so if they don't sign a RH bat it'll be another case of saying one thing and doing another.
  17. Bellhorn04
    That's fair. But I also look at the fact that O'Neill had a 2.6 bWAR/2.5 fWAR and has been replaced by J-Didd, who consistently delivers a 0.0.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Good stuff Davy. You're kind of preaching to the choir when it comes to TalkSox. I think we're all puzzled, disappointed, disgusted or some combination thereof about this team's approach. We've certainly learned not to rely on any of their assurances. Last year it was Werner's 'full throttle', this year it's Kennedy's 'even if we have to pay tax we're going for 90-95 wins' speech. Who knows, maybe they'll sign Grichuk and Robertson (2 more 1 year deals LOL) and deliver extensions for Crochet and Campbell or Anthony or both. As fans we live in hope.
  19. Bellhorn04
    It's all jibber jabber to pass the time. I just think we don't have very much information on which to base calling Narvaez a steal at this point.
  20. Bellhorn04
    It's hard to see any apples to apples comparisons that could be made. I'm just naturally dubious that the Yankees would be so generous as to give us a steal, but it would be nice.
  21. Bellhorn04
    But the other side of the equation is that the Yankees are unlikely to hand us a great catching prospect for nothing.
  22. Bellhorn04
    We can probably credit Breslow with the shift.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I guess what you're saying is that he was inconsistent. The only thing is you can say that about 95% of MLB hitters.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Seems like they were concerned he'd accept it, and just didn't think he was worth $21 mill.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Mahomes is right up there with the all-time best for his ability to deliver a scoring drive when the game is on the line. Obviously he still has a way to go to catch Brady for playoff success. Brady 7-3 in SBs Mahomes will be 4-1 or 3-2 after this one.
