  1. LOL Remind me who the setup guys for Houston were last year and their postseason numbers...
  2. When was our Pitching Development good, Stork?
  3. Thanks. Well, it figures that it's not really used properly LOL
  4. Just saw this. Nice work! Rip Repulski, LMFAO
  5. I'm sort of surprised no one has estimated his trade value as a bag of balls yet...
  6. OK, but if we're talking about something that's subjective, like art, you can't 'know it when you see it', either, so the statement still doesn't make sense.
  7. I've never quite understood why this quote is used so often. Pornography is really not that difficult to define.
  8. IMO the problem with advanced fielding metrics for the average fan is that they lack transparency-in fact they're pretty much invisible. If you want to find exactly why JBJ's UZR is what it is this season, good luck with that. With hitting and pitching stats the event logs are right at your fingertips. Or am I wrong about this?
  9. The Red Sox under Francona also had stretches of mediocre to bad baseball. As moon has pointed out, the 2004 Sox played .500 ball for 3 months running! If that doesn't convince you not to overreact to a few weeks of it, I don't know what will.
  10. If you break down Cano's statement (written for him of course), it's pretty comical how carefully and vaguely it's worded.
  11. A stretch of mediocre ball and Larry is back to the clown posts. The IQ on this forum really has dropped.
  12. The science here is faulty though Max because it's overly simplified. It's not just the number of chances, it's the difficulty of the chances and the skills that are required to make them. A center fielder often has to make a long run to catch the ball, get a fast start, take the correct route, leap, dive, extend his body etc. The advanced fielding stats try to take all this stuff into account.
  13. Don't go out on a limb now.
  14. The Red Sox obviously didn't tank, with one of the highest payrolls every year since Henry bought the team.
  15. Wow, that's f***ed up. Especially a guy who had already missed so much time with injury.
  16. Yeah, it irritates me too, and I think it irritates a lot of fans to see tanking gain so much traction as a team-building strategy.
  17. JBJ not in the lineup tonight either...
  18. Except Bradley's numbers were horrible for the second half of 2017 as well. He's in a very long slump, and we're talking about a guy who has had long slumps before.
  19. The benching started before last night. He sat out 2 games against the Yanks and one against the Jays. He knows what the situation is.
  20. What about the idea that he didn't want JBJ to lose whatever confidence he might have gained with a decent game the day before?
  21. So just leave Swihart to rot on the bench so there's no possibility he can get any better and help us out later on in the season. Doesn't seem like very good managing.
  22. Hanley's career BABip is .322, so 2017 was an anomaly. And he has 3 HR in his last 5 games. We'll see about the rest of the year, but he's been good so far.
  23. Let's be reasonable. Moreland has a .992 OPS and 20 RBI in 29 games. Bogaerts has an .870 OPS and 18 RBI in 25 games. Hanley has an .806 OPS and 28 RBI in 36 games.
  24. I agree 100%. Cora wants to get JBJ on a bit of a positive run at the plate so it makes perfect sense to sit him against Manaea.
  25. Yes, that's true, you have said that. Very few people would agree that you can have an everyday player hitting .100. Managers can't please everyone no matter what they do.
