    I agree with this.

    David for batting coach, not manager. I would not wish the job of Red Sox manager on him. He is a beloved legend in Boston, let's leave it that way. Managers mostly take abuse.

    It's easy to argue against these things though. If a player can turn it up, why don't they do it all the time instead of only on selected occasions? Momentum - didn't Houston have all the momentum in the world after the first inning yesterday? We seem to have it now, but how confident are we that momentum will help Rick Porcello mow down the Houston hitters? There's a lot of stuff in baseball that's just hard to explain. In the old days guys used to just shrug and say 'Hey, things just went my way today' or 'hey, I just didn't have it today'.

    Are you suggesting that he raised the level of his game, Kimmi?
  5. Bellhorn04
    But you're selecting the sample that best fits your argument. To be fair you would have to compare everything from last 2 starts to last 10 starts or some such thing. I'm not in disagreement with you, really. I would have probably have preferred Porcello too. But I don't think it was a big slam-dunk. Hopefully Porcello will make your call look even better tomorrow.

    It was a good effort by Reddick - tough play, bad luck.
  7. Bellhorn04
    He didn't chock today, that's for sure.

    Porcello and Fister were really not much different over their last 5 starts - both awful.
  9. Bellhorn04
    It's a wash.
  10. Bellhorn04
    I just did. Station13 said he preferred Fister over Porcello. That was about it. They both stink, that's why I couldn't see anybody getting that excited about it.
  11. Bellhorn04
    I find that hard to believe.
  12. Bellhorn04
    It was a rather confusing exchange. Spudboy said replacing Farrell was not our most pressing need. You agreed with that. Then Spud said 'So why bother doing it?' Then you kind of jumped on him.
  13. Bellhorn04
    We've really been getting the sucky start times.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Benintendi making an ill-advised throw has nothing to do with base running philosophy.
  15. Bellhorn04
    But you have commented numerous times that you think Farrell's aggressive baserunning philosophy costs the team runs. When you lose 2-8, 2-8, certainly, baserunning can not be said to be a big factor.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Evidence for dumb baserunning? Well, we led the majors in Outs on the Bases with 81. Next highest was 70. MLB average was 53. Some of the OOB can certainly be chalked up to aggressiveness. But if you watched the games there were clearly an unusual number of WTF moments where guys were thrown out by 10 feet and so on.
  17. Bellhorn04
    That's the truth. Unfortunately, it does look like major league baseball became somewhat homer-centric this year.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I know, Piniella makes 2 plays in that game he had no right to make...baseball gods were unkind to us that day.
  19. Bellhorn04
    In fairness, many people have been complaining about the offense all year LOL
  20. Bellhorn04
    But what about our hitting in the first 2 games of this series - should we really be dismissing that as a non-problem? Our slash line in the first 2 games is 227/278/288 = 566 OPS
  21. Bellhorn04
    You should be beyond worry LOL. Porcello's 2016 season was clearly the outlier. Swapping Lester for Porcello still looks like a horrible move.
  22. Bellhorn04
    The big problem is we're very restricted financially. 'Cut Hanley loose' sounds nice, but we're paying him 22 million next year, so getting some value out of him would be better. And we're paying Pedey for several more years, so all you can do is cross your fingers for health.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I hear ya. There was also the fateful moment in Game 5 when Tony Clark hit the ground-rule double that would have driven in the series-winning run if it didn't bounce over the wall in the right-field corner. The baseball gods were smiling on us that year, for once.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Maybe overshadowed by the lousy starting pitching, but the hitting was awful in the 2 playoff losses as well.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Apparently someone on Instagram called Girardi an imbecile and said he should be fired, and Chapman 'liked' the post. Good old social media.
