    Overall the team's defense is up there among the leaders in some categories. That would suggest that in spite of the occasional bonehead play, the team is generally well focused in the field.

    First of all, I will admit that I don't know very much about ISO yet. But I do know about SLG. Bogaerts' 2016 SLG of .446 was well above the MLB average, and it was very close to the MLB average #3 and #4 hitter. The 2016 MLB average SLG for a #4 hitter was .466. Here is how Bogaerts 2016 numbers compare to the MLB average #4: Bogaerts 294/356/446 802 Average 260/333/466 799 Maybe your standards are just too high.

    I thought we would beat Cleveland last year.

    It baffles me that you can say 'he's never shown much power' when he had 21 home runs in his age 23 season.

    No. Stolen bases are a plus, caught stealings are a minus...success % is important.
  6. Bellhorn04
    No. Kimmi has indicated the studies show the 3 spot is the least important of the top 5 spots, but not the least important of the entire order.

    At 62.1 innings, Barnes has been used a lot, but not overused.

    2014 was a Letdown Year after winning it all. 2016 was a Special Year because it was Papi's final season. I'm joking...I don't really think the explanations are that simple.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Trading that much for Quintana might have been a mistake too. He's not really pitching that well this year.

    Like I said on the Farrell thread, if you're POTUS or manager of the Red Sox, you are guaranteed to take a lot of abuse.
  11. Bellhorn04
    And you left out Truman - that guy was a major a-hole, wasn't he? Nicely done though.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I sure would love to see Ortiz as hitting coach next year.
  13. Bellhorn04
    A quick review of the facts on Bogey: In 2016 he had an .802 OPS with 21 homers. In 2017 he had an .826 OPS as of the end of June. On July 6 he got hit by a pitch. (Which may have led to a lingering injury that's still affecting him.) On July 20 he was dropped in the order.
  14. Bellhorn04
    With Bogaerts, it looks like injuries have seriously hampered him. Farrell tried to be patient and give him every opportunity, but now he's being benched with increasing frequency.
  15. Bellhorn04
    My question is simply this - how can the manager be responsible for all the declines? With Mookie Betts, we know he's being pitched to differently this year. Betts has talked about all the sliders he's seeing and how he's trying to adjust his approach.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Put your faith in modern medicine. TJ surgery has done wonders. Just look at Lackey for example.
  17. Bellhorn04
    With regard to the massive underperformance part, Farrell was also the manager the previous 4 years. How did his management of their hitting get so bad this year? Seriously, though, it's a total enigma why so many guys have numbers down this year. The only things we can point to as fact are the absence of Ortiz and the failure to add a power bat to somewhat compensate for that loss.

    Post of the night.
  19. Bellhorn04
    I think you're looking at his season with homer glasses. He has had a lot of 'uncharacteristic' outings this year, including his most recent one.
  20. Bellhorn04
    No doubt. Maybe instead of TJ surgery, they should call it TMS surgery - Too Many Sliders surgery.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Three headed monster - Gray, Severino and who?
  22. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, Votto really has the Reds focused the last few years. Just look at their record. Seriously, what makes you think he's a huge clubhouse leader?
  23. Bellhorn04
    Still on the topic of mental blunders, I can remember reading about some teams where the players had their own 'kangaroo court' where anyone would made such a blunder would take some grief and possibly be hit with a modest fine. I think maybe Don Baylor was a kangaroo court judge. I strongly suspect the 2017 Sox have no such thing but maybe they should.
  24. Bellhorn04
    That's a fair analogy.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Your numbers in red basically suggest we've always had the wrong guy hitting cleanup. But the overall numbers show we haven't really had anyone with very strong cleanup hitter numbers.
