    Very true.
  2. Bellhorn04
    No, but we were out of it in 2014.
  3. Bellhorn04
    It seems that Bogaerts has been playing with an injured right hand and that's probably a big part of the recent slump. Now he's having an MRI on it. Ugh.
  4. Bellhorn04
    But they're 14th in runs per game with 4.71. MLB average is 4.66. Once again, the definition of mediocrity - basically smack dab in the middle.
  5. Bellhorn04
    If there were you'd be hearing about it.

    I've been combing through the MLB offensive standings and it's pretty hard to find any neat correlations. One number that stands out for me is OPS+ and ours is 96...pretty much the definition of mediocrity.
  7. Bellhorn04
    OPS is one of the craziest stats ever coined, just taking two other stats and mashing them together. It produces some bizarre results - a .600 OPS stinks. But it can still be useful as long as you realize what you're looking at. The same pretty much holds true with WAR.
  8. Bellhorn04
    There are so many possible explanations. I've been thinking the Yankee pitchers must have great game plans on us, because they have eaten us alive.
  9. Bellhorn04
    It's true. We just seem to have a disproportionate number of pitching busts. With position players we've done pretty damn well the last 10-15 years.
  10. Bellhorn04
    It's not a bad offense, but it's a mediocre offense.
  11. Bellhorn04
    You're a very level-leaded person and I truly respect that, but I think our offensive numbers reflect a little more than a rough patch. This offense has struggled most of the season, with a few periodic outbursts.
  12. Bellhorn04
    You need to calm down a little Nick.
  13. Bellhorn04
    So we really are punchless wonders. We get on base pretty well but ground into a lot of DP's, run into a lot of outs and have little power.
  14. Bellhorn04
    No doubt, but as I said in another thread, the Sox are 11th in the league in SLG. 11th out of 15! That is really bad.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Possibly, but it was ice cold Bogey coming up with 2 outs.
  16. Bellhorn04
    In the AL the Sox are 3rd in OBP, 11th in SLG and 7th in runs per game. So it seems like the SLG is roughly as much a drag on scoring as OBP is a boost.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I concur with that theory.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Who's giving up on who???
  19. Bellhorn04
    Oh, I think it's an issue. They've played a few more games than other teams on average. They're 7th in the A.L. in runs per game, .01 ahead of the Rays, who play in a pitcher's park. The fact is our offense is perfectly mediocre, middle of the pack.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Also, it's 2 games up over the Rays now.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Give up the attempts at humor. You're too stupid to say anything funny.
  22. Bellhorn04
    You really shouldn't post more often.
  23. Bellhorn04
    The lineup won't be much different. The only real hope in sight for the offense improving is Devers.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Offense blew it again, Max. Bullpen gave up 1 run in 3.2 innings. No margin for error with this offense.
  25. Bellhorn04
    8 out of the last 10 games we've scored 3 runs or less. And we're back to the middle of the pack in runs scored per game. Our high OBP is offset by our dismal SLG, I'm afraid.
