  1. Our bullpen has generally been quite good too, better than it's given credit for IMO. The much-maligned Barnes now has a 2.61 ERA (2.81 FIP) and a 1.07 WHIP.
  2. Boone is getting absolutely roasted on NYY Fan Forum right now for his alleged bullpen (mis)management.
  3. Always with some kind words for Boone LOL
  4. You are a game thread classic, man.
  5. What's amazing is that we still have blown calls that stand even after replays. Human beings can screw up anything. But there are a heck of a lot of overturned calls, so it does kind of justify the use of it.
  6. Robots for balls and strikes are never going to happen. I'm not going to worry about that one anymore. Just have to have as much fun as possible with the blown calls LOL
  7. Hanley's 2018 OPS is now lower than his 2017 OPS. So much for the injury-free bounceback season. This is definitely an issue for Cora and the team now. And it is just a tiny bit perplexing that Cora keeps penciling him in, especially with Moreland's numbers. Oh well. Even with a sensational 34-15 record, it wouldn't be the Sox without some sort of drama going on.
  8. OK, I'll bite...why Mr. Holmes?
  9. The lead story on the New York Post site right now is about the Mets bullpen blowing tonight's game. Wait till the story on the Yankees game gets up there.
  10. DRob coughed it up for the Yanks. Walked the first 2 guys he faced and then gave up a bases-clearing double. If DRob is losing it, the Yanks pen could be a big issue for them.
  11. Yanks lose 12-10 after leading 10-5. Now that's a beautiful thing.
  12. Yanks will probably win but Sabathia got lit up tonight at least.
  13. The thing about a guy like JBJ is that you just don't know if and when he's going to come out of the slump. He won't come out of it sitting on the bench. Cora did give him some time off.
  14. Price vs. Archer A classic matchup tonight, folks. A one-time Rays ace against a current Rays sort-of ace. The Sox have enjoyed some success against Archer in the past, and he is struggling a bit so far this year, with a 5.01 ERA. But you can never take anything for granted in this game, so just win, baby! (And if our hitters are in the mood to kick Archer's butt all over the place, well, that'd be OK too.)
  15. It has a whole lot to do with the fact that he started our first game. Tomorrow night Porcello will catch Sale with his 11th start. If Price didn't have his carpal issues tonight would probably be his 11th start.
  16. Slash might even be right that pitchers feel more comfortable throwing certain pitches knowing JBJ is in centre. There are so many intangibles in this game that no metrics can possibly ever measure.
  17. WTF LOL you have to do something about this, seriously...under the law we are all responsible for the technology we choose to use.
  18. I'll let Cora figure it out, thanks. I mean, we do have some smart baseball people here, but you also notice how much they tend to disagree with each other.
  19. Mookie is so good that it's actually a little surprising when he looks bad in an at-bat.
  20. Your dedication and perseverance against all odds can be quite admirable, Slash... Especially when I agree with your position of course.
  21. I'm almost starting to wonder if the real plan with Hanley is to keep penciling him in until his numbers really justify benching him and coming up short on the vesting option. 'Sorry buddy, we tried to get you to the number but you blew it for yourself!'
  22. There's definitely subjectivity. Shouldn't the missed calls pretty much even out over time, though?
