    Let's be reasonable, Moreland will play, we know that. At minimum, when JD plays OF, HanRam DH's & Moreland plays first. Plus Moreland is late inning defensive sub for HanRam. And obviously Moreland is also insurance for HanRam injury.

    Ouch. Gabe just might take over the #1 spot from Butch Hobson on the 'Worst Managers who Played for the Red Sox' list.

    Here's my position: If Hanley hits 3.0 fWAR this year, he earns the vesting option.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Yeah it's weird scheduling. But you guys will play the Rays same number of times as us. And they're not gonna get any better.

    Thanks doc!

    Makes your teeth rattle, amongst other unpleasant things, if I recall correctly.

    Aha, the old concern-troll-reverse-mojo ploy. I've used it myself. The Yankees are too freaking awesome to let us get much of a lead, you know what. Right back atcha.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Good point.

    Ah, let's face it, there's no reliever that really makes us feel comfortable outside of Kimbrel, and even he makes people nervous at times.

    But does a great closer (or a great late inning bullpen) have any impact at all on close game randomness?

    Cora knew there would be a lot of grousing about sitting Betts but he did it anyway. To me it shows cojones. It reminds me of Francona. He would do things that he knew would be unpopular too. Cora played for Francona and he probably learned quite a bit from him.
  12. Bellhorn04
    The impact of anything a manager does, whether before, during or after the game, would seem to be completely unquantifiable.
  13. Bellhorn04
    This randomness thing does get a bit confusing. Why wouldn't exceptionally good late-inning pitchers that are generally used to protect close leads enhance your chances to win close games?

    It's the platinum sombrero.

    Um, didn't Kelly pitch the 8th and 9th innings last night giving up just a walk?

    Is Mookie off Thursday?

    You can call it New Age managing philosophy, I guess. I think maybe it includes the idea that a travel day isn't a true rest day. I also think the Red Sox looked at how the team bombed out in the first round the last 2 years and decided that they wanted to try a really different approach this year. I'm just trying to figure it out myself, to be honest. But I'm willing to think Cora might have a good idea what he's doing.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Cora said up front he was going to be giving guys rest days and using the bench a lot. Apparently he meant what he said.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Well, dgale, you're definitely the front-runner for Most Confident Poster of 2018.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Depends on how you look at it. We only scored 10 runs in the Tampa series. The pitching just had 1 bad inning.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I think you may have that backwards, mvp. Kelly had a 523 OPS in high lev, and 502 in medium lev, so his scores were really good.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Game time is 6:10 pm, folks.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I like Cora a lot already, myself.
  24. Bellhorn04
    'Smooth ride to the post season' may be a tad premature after 5 games against bad teams.
