  1. There's some truth in that. I think fans worry a little less about scoreboard-watching because of the expanded playoffs, too.
  2. Let's see what WAR says about this comparison with Fred Lynn. In 1975 Lynn had a bWAR of 7.4 in 145 games. Benintendi has a 1.3 bWAR in 31 games. Extrapolating to 150 games: Lynn 7.66 Benintendi 6.29
  3. He's not that old, mind you.
  4. Definitely a couple of beauties. I sometimes wonder if Cherington was a big advocate for Castillo and that's part of what got him dismissed.
  5. Not even for three Nelson Cruzs.
  6. If Barnes and Hembree turn into pumpkins our pen will not be pretty.
  7. I choose to think of it as the waterfall.
  8. Pomeranian is letting us down.
  9. Is it too early to start the Lock Up Beni thread?
  10. Now that's funny.
  11. Rutledge has only started 20 games at third base in his entire MLB career, and he has 7 errors, a fielding % of .868. He doesn't play much there, and when he does he's really bad.
  12. It'll be interesting. Could we be talking $700 million combined for those two?
  13. Rutledge has made 2 errors in 41 innings. So the chances of him making an error in a 2 inning stretch are actually more like 10%. And that's just errors, it doesn't take into account his lack of range.
  14. Well, you can't blame Farrell for being a little paranoid considering the butchery he has seen at third base this year.
  15. This is a real non-starter. Back before we invested so much in pitching I might have said I'd only trade him for a cost-controlled ace-type starter. Now Mookie along with Benintendi look like the cornerstone players we need to lock up.
  16. Looking up for sure.
  17. Absolutely awful news. I hope he's back pitching next year.
  18. You said it was a big mistake and it made no sense. That's a little beyond questioning.
  19. In this case I doubt he had any intention of having Kelly pitch the 9th until the lead was 6 runs or more. I think the original plan was for Kimbrel to get the last 5 outs.
  20. OK well, obviously we're just going to disagree on this. The score at the time was 7-4 for us. My general attitude is that when you have a lead in the late innings your priority becomes preventing runs. So you keep the better defender in the game. That's all. Farrell can be questioned for the decision, but he did have reasons for it.
  21. Rutledge hasn't exactly been picking it.
  22. Marrero was left in the game for the same reason he started the game - our atrocious third base defense.
