Oh, I know...if Dombrowski traded Devers for a rental he'd be crucified...I don't think Devers is going anywhere.
-
LOL that's funny...this game can warp the mind for sure.
-
Two teams of bridges and closers - unfortunately, this is probably where baseball is headed.
-
Man that 11th inning...Mookie ties the game and yet I felt sick after seeing Marrero foul off 3 bunt attempts including one with 2 strikes and Xander pinch run and get thrown out while trying to slide into third with his injured right hand. Bizarre. Thank God we won.
-
Very true.
-
No, but we were out of it in 2014.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
It's not a bad offense, but it's a mediocre offense.
-
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.
-
You need to calm down a little Nick.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Possibly, but it was ice cold Bogey coming up with 2 outs.
-
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.
-
I concur with that theory.
-
Who's giving up on who???
-
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.

Also, it's 2 games up over the Rays now. -
Give up the attempts at humor. You're too stupid to say anything funny.
