  1. Nice game for E-Rod.
  2. Wow...the shakeup has arrived.
  3. Donaldson is having a sensational year.
  4. For a team with as much money and other assets as the Red Sox to put up back-to-back doormat seasons is historically enigmatic. It's hard not to think there is something deeply wrong somewhere in the organization.
  5. No such luck, I'm afraid. Scott Lauber ‏@ScottLauber Lovullo intends to play Betts, Hanley pretty much every day, which means JBJ/Castillo will rotate thru lineup, mostly in RF They are determined to mismanage the season from beginning to end.
  6. Baseball-Reference and FanGraphs. Those are the 2 sources of WAR numbers and most of the baseball stats out there.
  7. I just checked the 2014 WAR's for our 2015 opening day rotation. Per B-R Total WAR +1.7 Average WAR +.34 Per FG Total WAR +6.4 Average WAR +1.28 So the 2014 WAR's were also pretty bad. The B-R ones were horrible in fact.
  8. Ah, so FIP only measures the 'three true outcomes', right?
  9. Spieth was classy. As they said on the telecast, both of these guys make excellent role models for kids.
  10. Great day for golf. Jason Day wins the PGA for his first major. Canadian Brooke Henderson wins by 8 strokes for her first LPGA win.
  11. Right on cue, there was a scorer's decision in the Jays-Yankees game that showed some of the vagaries of errors, earned runs and unearned runs. With two outs in the third and nobody on, Tulowitzki hit a routine fly ball to Beltran, but Beltran lost it in the sun and didn't catch it. It was originally scored an error. Donaldson then singled and Bautista homered. The Jays' 3 runs were unearned. But later the scorer changed the call to a hit, and the 3 runs became earned. Is that something that would be factored into the pitcher's FIP?
  12. That could be, and it may also depend on which position is involved. It seems to me that most errors committed by the left side of the infield are either obvious boots or bad throws. Also it seems that where there is doubt, such as on a bad hop or an extremely hard hit ball, scorers will tend strongly toward calling those hits.
  13. True of course. But don't you think that a high % of errors are no-doubters - maybe 20% at most fall into the subjective category?
  14. Personally I think when the Sox put together the 2015 pitching staff they give the old wheel of fortune a big spin. Every single guy on the staff was risky except for Koji and Taz. I also think that mediocrity was the ceiling for this staff, not the most likely outcome.
  15. Not all errors are created equally, I agree 100%. Of course there are errors that fall in the no-doubt category.
  16. Thank God for the hernia. Strange but true.
  17. I'm guessing that Betances and Miller aren't available today.
  18. John Farrell has lymphoma and is leaving the team.
  19. It's pretty obvious Ben will be back for 2016. The big question now is what happens with the manager position.
  20. At least we don't have too see his mug every time we play the Rays now.
  21. He's the man Theo wanted though. Looks like another good move to me.
  22. How 'bout those Cubs? How 'bout that Jon Lester?
  23. Maybe they should compartmentalize and put Dipoto in charge of sprucing up our putrid bullpen for next year.
  24. I don't think the Sox ran quite enough computer simulations on Hanley Ramirez playing left field.
