    But it's not based on just one hit.
  2. Bellhorn04
    I missed it, but I know he was superhuman that year.
  3. Bellhorn04
    And it would be two of the greatest homeruns in Sox history if not for...you know.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Point taken.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Plus you almost have to be really good with the name Sam Travis.

    As for Beckett, he did have some rough outings late in his postseason career (he was pretty clearly injured in 2008), but his postseason numbers are still exceptional with a 3.07 ERA, a .94 WHIP and a 4.71 K/BB.

    I don't think you'll be getting any takers on that one. My list of the identifiably clutch is very short anyway. David Ortiz, Curt Schilling, Dave Henderson, Madison Bumgarner...

    Nobody can be Papi.

    I was talking about big-name acquisitions. 'Splashy' acquisitions, if you like.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Well, I'm a strong believer in psychological factors. I always have been.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Renteria is just one of many examples of big-name acquisitions who have performed below expectations in their first year in Boston. In the last 2 seasons we have 5 of them: Price, Kimbrel, Porcello, Hanley and Pablo.

    I think you're right that he complained. The players association wanted to change the deal, but it was only about 12 million more we had to pay if I recall correctly.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I don't think so. The Sox FO simply balked at the extra amount they had to pay over what the original deal was, according to all reports. They probably figured they could revisit it. They weren't expecting Aaron Boone to injure himself playing basketball and for ARod to be willing to play third base. Like I say, pure luck. The baseball gods had finally decided to give us a break.
  14. Bellhorn04
    It was pure luck that the ARod deal fell through. I believe we only had to come up with another 12 million or something like that and he was ours. What's sometimes forgotten is that we were also going to be trading a pitching prospect to Texas, a lefthander named Lester.
  15. Bellhorn04
    All I meant was that the team can't be affected by negativity in the fanbase and the media if the team doesn't seem to be playing up to expectations. Dojji thinks that's a potential problem for this team.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Fans usually are a weakness. In 2004 fans were freaking out as the team played .500 ball for a 3 month stretch. In 2007 fans were freaking out as our lead in the division was slipping and Tito was still using Eric Gagne in important spots. The team has to rise above the fans, frankly. If they're not stronger than us, they are indeed in trouble.

    If we can duplicate last year's run differential of +184, that's about all you can ask for. +184 is a big number. Some other notable run differentials for past Sox seasons: 2013 +197 2007 +210 2004 +181 2002 +194 1986 +98 1978 +139 1975 +87 1967 +108 1950 +223 1946 +198
  18. Bellhorn04
    As in the bird Cardenal? Absolutely.
  19. Bellhorn04
    It almost looks like they flipped a coin 162 times for each team. How wishy-washy can you get?
  20. Bellhorn04
    Those numbers are wacky. Every team around .500 with a negligible run differential.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Plus Espinoza.
  22. Bellhorn04
    You do see him on my list?
  23. Bellhorn04
    We have an option on Sale for 2019.
  24. Bellhorn04
    It was the deal that was necessary to get him to come to Boston.
