  1. JBJ just might be making our dreams come true. To think there were times over the past 2 seasons a lot of people wrote him off and wanted him gone.
  2. We almost had him when he was good. Then we got him later when he was washed up.
  3. I think it's because there's a rule that you have to have at least 5 whipping boys to choose from.
  4. We have 5 starters with an OPS over .800 and 7 with an OPS over .750. And one of the other 2 is Betts. Those are some sweet numbers. Very much like 2013.
  5. It's just kind of an extra stat really. The straight platoon stats are already there. Most people don't pay attention to this one, that's for sure.
  6. I don't really believe much in defining games, especially this early in the season. However, the team is playing impressive baseball, battling hard for 9 innings, and a lot of guys are hitting. Fun to watch right now.
  7. I guarantee it's true, and I respectfully disagree that it's useless. It tries to account for the fact that platoon players often stay in for the entire game, simply because you don't have an unlimited bench.
  8. Very lucky indeed. Wouldn't want to try to do it again.
  9. Strictly for clarification purposes: The stat 'vs LH starters' actually represents all numbers for games that were started by lefties, not all numbers vs. lefty starters. So it also includes numbers vs. righty relievers in those games.
  10. Teams will give up a lot in deadline deals when they think have a legit shot. Baltimore gave us E-Rod for a few months of Andrew Miller. There are worse deadline tradeoffs than Iggy all the time.
  11. Yes, well, Billy Beane didn't get much for Josh Donaldson either. And Donaldson is a game-changing MVP.
  12. We certainly know what that feels like.
  13. Speaking of Ortiz, that was quite a show last night. A towering bomb to turn the game around off a lefty who had never given up a home run to a LH hitter before. Then an RBI single against the shift. Then he tries to bunt his last time up. And he seemed to be grinning and goofing around throughout the whole game.
  14. Getting David Ortiz was probably the most miraculous moment in Sox history, that's for certain.
  15. The Pedro trade and the Varitek-Lowe trade occurred within less than a year of each other.
  16. The Dead Horse thread is the perfect place for things like rehashes of the Iggy trade.
  17. Best thing to do with that guy's name is spell it like it sounds: Mint Cave Itch.
  18. Schilling helped a bit too.
  19. Not true anymore. Offense keeps going down, down, down. Average AL left fielder has an OPS of .709. Holt is well above average.
  20. Some other gems from the 70's: Cecil Cooper for George Scott and Bernie Carbo Fred Lynn for one year of Frank Tanana Bill Lee for Stan Papi
  21. Ironically enough, I'd rather be paying Pablo not to play than paying Headley to play right now.
  22. It won't be in Boston as long as Vazquez is healthy. A lot depends on how good a hitter Swihart turns out to be, of course.
  23. Christian Vazquez seems like a guy who can get some good games out of Clay (until the inevitable injury).
