  1. Jackso says he's a dolt.
  2. Well, let's assume that there are some better center fielders out there. The next question is whether any of them are available and at what price.
  3. Here are some interesting numbers on the 1-run game thing. Red Sox championship seasons: 2004 1-run games 16-18 .471 other games 82-46 .641 2007 1-run games 22-28 .440 other games 74-38 .661 2013 1-run games 21-21 .500 other games 76-44 .633 Which certainly supports the idea that your record in 1-run games in itself means jacksquat...
  4. Well, I guess the real question is whether his fielding is replaceable.
  5. It's only early but it looks like we're somewhat fortunate Ohtani didn't sign with the Yanks.
  6. I have to double correct you there but it's all good. Stanton struck out 5 times April 3 vs the Jays and 5 times yesterday. Not the double golden sombrero...the double 'platinum sombrero' or some such thing. Wow that is some serious flailing.
  7. This is where some smart folks notice an overlooked flaw in the way a game is set up. Much like finding a loophole in the tax code.
  8. You said this: "I'm not sure if people get the idea of what depth is..." Do you really think 'people' don't grasp the idea that pitchers are fragile and having adequate backup is a good thing? The real issue at hand is whether the 2018 Red Sox began the season with sufficient depth. We don't really know the answer. But you could probably make a case that Johnson, Velazquez and Wright look like a semblance of reasonable depth. And if it turns out that more is needed, there are some other dumpster dive options out there as always.
  9. I think it's probably a combination of things. He's healthy, he worked hard in the offseason and added a little strength, and as you say his approach seems better and more aggressive. Fun to watch, that's for sure!
  10. I disagree, I thought Farrell was generally fine with how he handled the pitching changes. As far as looking strong is concerned, Sale looked strong as an ox in that game he reached 300 K's. But in retrospect it might have been a good idea to pull him sooner. A lot of it's always going to be guesswork anyway.
  11. Every team in baseball history has been susceptible to pitching injuries. With regard to whether the Red Sox have 'enough' pitching depth, you need some sort of comparison point. How does our depth compare to that of other contending teams? How does it compare to that of other Red Sox contending teams of the Theo Epstein era?
  12. I'll get it started some time this week.
  13. OTOH, maybe your comment that our opening day rotation was 'pretty bad' because it included Johnson and Velazquez for a start or two was overblown too...
  14. Yeah Devers looks fantastic.
  15. Looks like Durable Dick has settled in.
  16. Absolutely, if that's what we're talking about it makes sense.
  17. Talk of trading JBJ during the 2018 season is crazy talk. Talking about it after the 2018 season has some validity.
  18. LOL yes there has been an extraordinary amount of beetching going on considering the team's record.
  19. Oh, there's nothing sad about it at all. Enjoy the fact that we have 6 or 7 months of baseball before us.
  20. Sux. Little else to say.
  21. The premise is correct but we're still dealing with what moon would call a teeny-tiny sample size. End of thread.
  22. Even Nolan Ryan only struck the batter out 25% of the time.
  23. Don't you think the pitcher's goal in general is to make a really tough pitch to hit - the batter is either going to miss it or if he hits it it's going to be weak or glancing contact.
