    I don't know what the reason for our decline is. But I do suspect that the ball being juiced has a lot to do with overall run scoring increasing across MLB. A 10% increase in home run balls is just a tad fishy IMO.
  2. Bellhorn04
    And you're no different - 'implosion' is a pretty strong word considering we're still in first.
  3. Bellhorn04
    MLB teams are averaging 1.27 HR per game this year compared to 1.16 last year. That's a 10% increase. That's huge.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Not necessarily. I think if you look at the overall improvements in offensive numbers most of it is coming from the home run ball. If our team really is just a bunch of single hitters we're not going to benefit quite as much from the ball being juiced.
  5. Bellhorn04
    I really think it depends on how the rest of the season unfolds. After all, Francona was fired after a 90 win season and a fantastic overall record.
  6. Bellhorn04
    As you know, there are a number of us who feel the team's record is the bottom line for the manager. Then of course there's that old adage about not being able to fire 25 players. My opinion for some time has been that Farrell's fate should rest on the team's final results this year.

    And what are the possible explanations for other offenses getting better this year? -An influx of good young hitters? -Improvements in hitting approach? -Decline in quality of pitching? -Juiced ball?
  8. Bellhorn04
    Yes, there are many problems and many worries for this team right now.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Yeah he's not hard to spot is he. He gives himself away immediately with his screen name. Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

    2011 also tells us that Henry isn't a paragon of patience.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Except the last place finishes may have been blamed on the outgoing GM.
  12. Bellhorn04
    If we blow the division he's toast. If he Grady's us out of the playoffs he's toast.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Yes, we need all the help we can get. Go Price.

    A 2 game lead is dogsquat, of course. It was a 5 game lead 3 days ago. It just feels like this team has a lot of serious problems right now. The only cure is winning games.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Another grim little stat: the Sox have gone 13 games in a row without scoring in the first inning.

    A major shout out to Stacy Lewis. Before this week's LPGA event she announced she would donate her entire winnings from the tournament to the Harvey relief effort. Then she goes out and wins the tournament, her first win in several years, and she's donating $195,000.

    I would release Chris Young and give Brentz a shot. Young's performance against lefties this year is a sick joke. 184/297/264 with 1 HR and 4 RBI - unbelievable.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I can't defend Porcello any more. He's hurting us this year, plain and simple.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Another pile of LOBsters tonight.
  20. Bellhorn04
    3rd.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Pedro didn't hit Zimmer.
  22. Bellhorn04
    That's one way to look at it. Another way, unfortunately, is that we are on pace to score 110 runs fewer than last year, while the average MLB team is on pace to score 29 more runs than last year.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Yes, I saw that and commented on it in the Sanchez thread. I wasn't expecting anything to happen today on the holiday.
  24. Bellhorn04
    It's not so much taking strike one down the middle that bothers me, it's taking strike three down the middle.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Swihart has had a lot of setbacks. However, it must be said, there is nothing in his resume to suggest he will ever be an impact bat. His stats actually look a lot like Brock Holt's.
