    I was surprised as well.

    Who would you have started tonight?

    Yeah, you can't assume anything.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Sort of, yes.

    Might as well get this post of the way early... Miley sucks! We should be lighting this bum up!
  8. Bellhorn04
    I know...Jesus.

    Go Twinkies!

    Here we go.

    For clarification, 2018 is Pomeranz's final arb year. 2019 he's a free agent.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, you guys are 9 wins below your Pythagorean record.

    The wild pitch wouldn't have been anything without the walks that preceded it though. The Red Sox run scored through a series of 'bad plays' by the pitcher.

    Run differential is certainly the most reliable measurement of a team's overall strength. You can find a lot of seasons where the strongest team didn't win the trophy, though, of course.

    It's not semantics that Devers' error last night didn't cost anything.
  16. Bellhorn04
    I think it's certainly a worthwhile idea. Either that or Raffy really has to improve in the field.

    One bad play can CONTRIBUTE to a loss - that's the key word. In this case you saw an example of how a bad play can have no ultimate impact because of the other plays in the inning. JBJ's plays contributed hugely, that's for sure...

    FIRE AND DESIRE

    It's my belief there are a whole range of factors that can affect a player's performance in one game or even one at-bat. Some of those factors may be physiological or psychological - the hitter just feels good, he's confident, alert, he's 'seeing the ball well', as the expression goes. Some of the factors may be mental or strategic - the hitter has studied this pitcher and has a good idea what he throws in certain situations. Some of the factors are luck and randomness - the hitter guesses right on the pitch, or he hits the ball through a hole in the infield, when he was basically just trying to make good contact. When you've got so much stuff going on it's virtually impossible to say exactly why the hitter succeeded that time. As we all know even the best hitters only hit .300. And even the best clutch hitters can't keep coming up with big hits on a consistent basis because the odds are stacked against them. With all that said I do consider Ortiz and Schilling to have been clutch performers in the postseason.

    Poor JF gets no respect...even when we're winning all these late inning thrillers with fire and desire.

    It matters to me. Getting swept by the Guardians last year didn't bother me nearly as much as getting swept by the Evil Ones would have. It's a double whammy - the two things I hate worst are us losing and the Yanks winning.

    "What ifs" only have weight in an alternate universe. If you really want to evaluate Price vs. Quintana, of course, there are a pile of "what ifs" yet to unfold.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Not sure I'd want the 2017 Cueto or what's left of his contract either. He did have a fine season in 2016, no question.
  24. Bellhorn04
    I think you can make a pretty solid case that Dombrowski had very little choice but to do what he did, or to do something pretty close to what he did, for this team to have any shot in 2016 or 2017. The pitching staff left to him by Ben shaped up as horrendous, and there wasn't a lot of payroll room to work with either. What else can you do but trade for pitching? Dombrowski did try to make use of one of the few 'semi-proven' pitchers left to him by exercising the option on Buchholz, and Buch naturally bombed, necessitating the trade for Pomeranz.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Quintana wasn't traded until 1.6 seasons after we acquired Price.
