    I think Betts will figure it out with all the sliders away. I think he's a special player.

    Here are some base-stealing stats: MLB averages 74 steals 27 caught stealing 73.3% success rate Red Sox 99 steals (5th in MLB) 29 caught stealing 77.3% success rate
  3. Bellhorn04
    Also very reasonable.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Very reasonable assessment.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Go Rangers.
  6. Bellhorn04
    JBJ with a routine catch to end it!
  7. Bellhorn04
    Reed brought the scoop.

    Nice night for Raffy.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Rough one for Tanaka tonight.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Talksox members are working on it. Nothing final yet.

    We'll never know for sure unless one of the principals airs the laundry. I think Larry was probably heavily involved, but it's just a guess.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Yes.

    Remy and Eck in the booth together are gold. Remy with some great stuff about trying to hit against lefties.
  14. Bellhorn04
    It's a trio tonight.

    You actually could reconstruct a log of the most glaring mental mistakes this year by going through the game threads. It would be an arduous task, but it could be done. Because I know there were always plenty of posts about the obvious ones.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Unfortunately, Hanley is pretty much an immovable object contract-wise, especially with that stupid vesting option.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Maybe he choked - does that count as a mental mistake?
  18. Bellhorn04
    Saying our accumulated mental mistakes have probably cost us a couple of games is reasonable. Your claims of 5 or more lost games, without any indication of how you could possibly determine this, have been outlandish. They're reminiscent of the thread on BDC in 2007 about how Tito's in-game mistakes had cost us '14 games and counting'.

    Hamburger Hounds Mojo!
  20. Bellhorn04
    Yes, exactly. Even though Yaz had a home run and a single, 2 runs and 2 RBI prior to that.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Nobody ever knows 'what would have happened if...'. I believe that the principle used in calculations like WAR is to give all plays equal weight regardless of the situation. Which makes sense. A run in the second inning counts just the same as a run in the ninth inning.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Any suggestion that mental mistakes could have cost 6 or more games is outlandish. At least Max tried to use actual game information to substantiate his claim.
  23. Bellhorn04
    And yet you're telling Max not to make any claim that can't be proven! You're contradicting the heck out of yourself, and it really diminishes your credibility. Suggesting these mistakes have cost us 6 or 7 games is like saying they are the equivalent of having a replacement level pitcher this year instead of Sale.
  24. Bellhorn04
    It's the weird rich dude with the pasty face that calls the shots on a lot of this. He's the one who ultimately tells DD how much DD has to spend.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I'm as baffled as anyone about the mental blunders. I think maybe you have to look at them on a player-by-player basis. I have seen Bogaerts make a couple that suggested his mind was elsewhere at the time. Those are the ones where the player really has to be straightened out by the manager. JBJ has made some of the blunders. But when you look at how this guy plays in the outfield it's hard to believe that he suffers from a lack of focus.
