What's really enlightening is all the tweets that follow the initial one. They are hilariously ALL OVER THE f***ING MAP. Some saying Farrell is a bozo and some saying he did nothing wrong.

2016 Trade and Roster Move Speculation thread
Bellhorn04 replied to Dojji's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Personally Flap I say screw that...Puig is obviously in the major head case category. -
I'm not sure why there's reason to be scared. Who has been ruined in recent years? The B's are all flourishing, though 2 of them certainly went through rough stretches.
-
You're kind of obsessed with OBP. For OBP purposes a home run is the same as a walk. There are good reasons that OPS is now commonly used as the measurement of a player's total offensive contributions. Home runs do contribute more than walks. Last night was a pretty good illustration.
-
It turned out bungled. Clemens lied his ass off and got away with it IMHO.
-
McNamee testified that he started injecting Clemens in 1998.
-
Of course Duquette didn't know Clemens was going to have such a great PED-fueled turnaround.
-
Mookie shows again why you want him to get as many chances as possible.
-
OPS matters for a leadoff hitter simply because he is the guy who is going to come to the plate most often during the season. That's part of why the Sabrmetrics research indicates you might want your best all-around hitter up first instead of third.
-
I guess I'm seduced by his postseason resume.
-
Now Schilling is a guy that the 'clutch doesn't exist' folks won't even touch. He scares them off.
-
But it's a fact he's been better in the postseason than in the regular season, taking into account the better pitching you face in the postseason. Obviously he still fails plenty in clutch situations because the pitching and defense always have a huge advantage.
-
Here we go LOL I believe clutch does exist in a few rare cases like Ortiz and Schilling. But I have my own simple measuring tool - postseason performance vs. regular season performance. I don't believe that part has been *disproven*, I believe it's been *dismissed* because of sample size.
-
The 2016 season is the real referendum on Farrell.
-
Haha... But seriously, what possible reason could there be for not pinch-hitting with Leon or Shaw. It boggles my mind. And there's no mention of it by any of our wonderful Sox reporters.
-
Yes, they've been pretty smart the last couple of years and they are turning this trade deadline into a bonanza. Amazing what you can get for an elite reliever these days.
-
And took on about 30 million salary for Craig. Not what you're supposed to do when you're selling at the deadline.
-
It's incomprehensible why they didn't hit for Hanigan there.
-
Good point.
-
Maybe Farrell really is an idiot...or Lovullo...just realized Farrell was ejected.
-
What do you think Mookie's ideal spot in the lineup would be?
-
Based on what numbers? Pedroia has a 3.5 bWAR. Odor has a 1.7 bWAR.
-
So they will deal Miller if the haul is big enough.
-
Welcome to Bud Selig's Twilight Zone. Parity + extra wild card keeps more teams' hopes alive much longer.
-
I have no clue what the answer is.
