He's catching his share of s*** on here. And sure people are concerned. But a lot of people wrote off Porcello as a bust last year too.
-
But he sure sucked hard last year didn't he?
-
I think you've now officially caught the Talksox Heavy Sarcasm bug.

I like WAR a lot myself. And I know it's far from perfect. I like the fact that the #2 and #3 WAR guys on the 2013 Red Sox were Victorino and Ellsbury, ahead of Papi. That in itself shows the weight given to fielding and speed and the measurement of the complete game of the player
-
I think you're right that there are a lot of exceptions, and maybe we should take a closer look at a guy like Buehrle and what made him so effective over a long career. A slightly amusing side-note to this - remember the Sox big game plan for pitching going into the 2015 season? We were supposedly stacked with ground-ball pitchers. That was supposed to translate to great numbers, especially with all those low strikes being called!

Setting aside his monster paycheque for a moment, you can't argue with Price's attitude. He hasn't whined about anything, he hasn't blamed anyone but himself. He takes the ball every 5th day. He's a good candidate to turn things around.
-
I'm pretty cynical myself. I think Theo definitely has a good-sized ego and he wanted more power than Lucchino was prepared to give him. Kind of a Jimmy Johnson-Jerry Jones thing. I think Theo's real dream job was with the Red Sox - but with total autonomy over baseball operations.
-
But look at his regular season numbers with the Jays last year. When did he lose it?
-
O's lose, Jays lose, Yanks losing...can we get lucky and have a perfect 3-0 on the out of town scoreboard?
-
I guess the only other *possible* question is V-Mart's numbers vs. Ziegler.
-
Beckett, Porcello, Price, maybe even Kimbrel. The 'Welcome to Fenway' syndrome for pitchers.
-
Wow, I didn't know that. Cabrera should have been walked. This series was a bad one for Farrell without a doubt.
-
That'll go down some after today.
-
Coming into this game he had a 385/442/615 since the All-Star break.

2016 Trade and Roster Move Speculation thread
Bellhorn04 replied to Dojji's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
What I mean is, after trading Espinoza, DD wants to hang onto our 2 other pitching prospects. -

I guess because he's our only major pitching prospect above the age of 17. -
Trade Pedroia!
-
moon did say 'sporadic' personal observation - which could mean one or two games in a season.
-
I can see possibly re-evaluating Mookie's spot in the order next year with no Papi.
-
lol
-
I respect the stat dig. But if you look further, he has an .877 career OPS with a runner at first base only, so that would seem to make him a good candidate for batting second.
-
BTW I'll argue with you all day every day about Theo, but I do have to respect your point of view about baseball executives, because you're 100% consistent about it.
-
Yeah, Ortiz has been grounding into too many DP's too. Let's move 'em both down to the bottom of the order.

Team ERA is 4.43, 4th worst in the league. But team runs allowed per game is 4.84, 2nd worst in the league. We seem to have given up the most unearned runs as well. Bottom line, our run prevention is a disaster.
