    Yes, I would like to hear Kimmi's comments on this because it's kind of central to this whole issue about whether the manager has any impact or not.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Kelly was gone.
  3. Bellhorn04
    There are times it should be done, but it has to be done judiciously. Obviously the most frequent use of the tactic comes in the postseason because of the importance of the games and the extra rest permitted by the off-days.
  4. Bellhorn04
    It's probably time for Barnes and Kelly to swap places. Kelly has pitched better.

    Of course there's a script, a pattern, a game plan or whatever you want to call it. That's the way baseball is now. The average starter goes 6 innings so you need to cover the last 3 with your bullpen. If you're winning but it's close you use your 3 best relievers, assuming they're available. If other s*** happens you handle it accordingly. Every manager does virtually the same thing.
  6. Bellhorn04
    So I guess this is the gist of it: If the script is followed and the relievers do their job, the script is good. If the script is followed and somebody blows their job, the script is bad.

    I don't get the point here. Of course there's a pattern. Do other managers do things differently than this? Correct me if I'm wrong but just a few days ago everyone was delighted with the performance of our bullpen.
  8. Bellhorn04
    That's not correct. I only looked up 2013, but Koji entered the game in the 8th numerous times late in the season and in the postseason.

    I think sometimes these huge free agent deals are the best things for a player's bank account but the worst things for their careers.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Their rotation will tell the tale.
  11. Bellhorn04
    It's a long, long season.

    There is not one sliver of good in Pablo's numbers. He has a bWAR of minus .9 in only 32 games. That extrapolates to a bWAR of minus 4.5 in 160 games, which I'm guessing might be a contender for the worst bWAR in history.
  13. Bellhorn04
    You were advocating trading Pedroia at the start of the 2016 season, when he was 32 years, 8 months. At the start of the 2008 season Ortiz was 32 years, 5 months. 3 months difference.
  14. Bellhorn04
    And the best part is, we're doing it with no fire! (Sorry.)
  15. Bellhorn04
    Besides which, Barnes served his suspension, he's back and pitching pretty well, everybody moved on from it...it's old news.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Just a bad signing. The Red Sox have enough money that they can handle it. Move on and be done with it. I expect he'll be released shortly.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Trading Pedroia at the start of last year was not a good call. Another team would have gotten a 5.7 WAR player for a bargain price.
  18. Bellhorn04
    And how many times have you written him off in the past? Last year you had Trade Pedroia in your sig line and he ended up with a 5.7 WAR. You'll be right eventually, of course.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Is the season over already? Bummer.
  20. Bellhorn04
    You are really on top of your posting game these days, Max.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Their starter has a bit more of a major league pedigree than Velazquez. It was a debatable move, but I don't blame Farrell for not having a world of confidence in Velazquez.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Premature buzzardry.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Farrell pulled Velazquez for Abad with Hosmer and Moustakas coming up. Hosmer had already homered. Abad didn't do his job but it seemed like the right move.
  24. Bellhorn04
    That's about right and it's good enough for me.
  25. Bellhorn04
    He'll do something pretty soon, but it just might be the promotion of Devers.
