  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Of course, if JBJ wasn't flailing most of the season Cora wouldn't have to think about whether to start him against a tough lefty or not. You can't just let JBJ off the hook for his situation.
  6. The 11-11 isn't a big deal in itself. Porcello looking bad 2 starts in a row is more of a concern.
  7. We're 28-12 and we haven't hit any good pitchers?
  8. Strained back does indeed sound like a classic phantom DL injury. But as noted that doesn't make sense in this case.
  9. When that pitch is thrown exactly the way the pitcher wants to throw it, right? I mean, if Hitter X simply couldn't hit a slider, period, no matter if it was a great one or a lousy one, pitchers would throw him nothing but sliders and he'd strike out every time.
  10. You left out the .500 OBP.
  11. I have to laugh when I hear a major league player can't hit breaking pitches. If it was true they wouldn't have made it this far.
  12. Funny how you never show up after the Sox bullpen has a great game. Also funny that you haven't said anything about Kelly, one of your Three Stooges, now having a 2.33 ERA and a WHIP of .93.
  13. Yeah, I'm totally with you on this one dgale. I am perfectly comfortable with letting Alex Cora figure out the daily lineup card. I just assume he knows what he's doing and there are plenty of other things to quibble about LOL
  14. I understand this point of view. Personally I like Mookie up first because I want him to get more chances than anyone else.
  15. Hembree is starting to look a little toasty.
  16. This discussion is heading toward Yogi Berra territory... "Baseball is ninety per cent mental. The other half is physical."
  17. Yeah, you're right. I didn't realize he missed that many.
  18. George Brett made a run at it. So did Tony Gwynn but it was the strike year.
  19. Look man, you do realize that Ted Williams was the last player to hit .400 - in 1941? In the last 76 years no one else has done it. .338 is a spectacular average for Major League Baseball.
  20. Just a wee bit of hyperbole there.
  21. He's hitting .338, man. What do you want?
  22. Yes! It helps the pitcher's WAR and possibly the fielder's.
  23. Yeah, I was just a little surprised by how much he focused on Altuve's late-and-close numbers and his suggestion that it doesn't really matter if luck and randomness enters into it.
