Yay, Pom only needed 97 pitches to get through 4.
-
Our OPS+ of 98 doesn't give me much conviction that we have a good offense either...
-
Having an OPS+ of 98 does not suggest a good offense. It suggests an average one at the very best.
-
I'm not sure what to attribute it to, but the lack of power is a genuine problem, I think. There's no getting around the fact that while we have a few positive numbers, this is not a good offense. And as a result we have a hideous run differential of +4 after 41 games.

Who is the worst pitcher in Red Sox history?

Way Back! -
Poor Buch, we're lucky we got rid of him as it turns out.
-
It does appear that they had to use Velazquez in this series. If not last night they would have had to use him Sunday.
-
As I've said, a guy with the name Sam Travis can't miss.
-
Well yeah, but I don't think there are any indications LL ever said anything like that. The narrative on LL was that he liked the sexy, splashy, fan-pleasing signings. The Lester fiasco did nothing but piss fans off.
-
We won all 4 of his starts - he had the Luck o' the Irish!
-
It's enough to make you pine for Sean O'Sullivan.
-
If you're going to pin the Lester fiasco on any one person I think Henry is the most logical candidate. It was him that made the statement about pitchers over 30, not Lucchino.
-
Good one.
-
I concur.
-
Well I too am baffled why they decided to start Velazquez last night. Makes very little sense on the face of it. I've been trying to find some info on why the decision was made but I'm coming up empty so far.
-
Love it.
-
We might have to give DD some props for Abad. The guy has been pretty good lately.
-
Farrell moved Beni from the 2 spot to the 4 spot starting with the second game of the Minny series. The lineup changes were made because the team was having a horrendous time scoring runs. They've been scoring more runs since they changed the lineup. Beni went nuts the first 3 games at cleanup, then suddenly went into this hitless streak.

5/17 St. Louis part II
Bellhorn04 replied to Station 13's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Pretty hard to top that one. -
Thank you. The defense rests.
-
Let me ask this then. What precedent is there for Lucchino making a lowball offer like this? Usually he's being accused of the 'splashy' signings. This was the complete opposite.
-
I'm guessing that Ortiz saw in Drew a much more complete baseball player than he was himself, or than Manny was. I'm also guessing Ortiz was mainly referring to players he played with and got to see on a day-to-day basis.
-
Pomeranz is pitching Friday night in Oakland. That's a perfect setup for him. If he doesn't pitch well Friday we'll know we're screwed.
-
But what is the actual evidence that Lucchino was the one primarily responsible for the Lester fiasco?
-
I find it a little unfair to use Lucchino as the scapegoat for all the bad stuff. Most of it is pure speculation with no actual documentation whatsoever.
