    I think everyone is aware that underperformance by both our offense and our pitching are responsible for our record. They're about equally responsibly, perhaps. This is about heat being directed at Ben and the FO. The difference is that Ben and the FO made a major effort to upgrade the offense. Nobody is criticizing them about that. The criticism is that they could have done more to upgrade the pitching and they made a clear decision not to.

    I can't believe you're even serious with this comment.

    Betts/Bogaerts/Vazquez?

    He's got a lot of financial incentive to get back this time.
  5. Bellhorn04
    No, I don't think Ben is stupid. In this case I think he adopted a strategy with the pitching that was too risky for a team that has as much money as this team does. He really rolled the dice and went against the grain of what almost everyone expected, which was that the Sox would acquire a #1 starter in the offseason.

    Clay has been diagnosed with a flexor strain. Early indications are no damage to UCL. Doug Fister had a flexor strain this year and was out about a month.

    Did Ben or someone in the organization ever actually say this?

    The most innings Kelly has ever pitched is 124. Last year he only pitched 96.1. He pitched worse in 2014 than he did in 2013. I'm not sure how anyone could even project a guy like Kelly for a full season.

    Hey, phantom debates are a big part of how we roll here. In truth I couldn't care less about Bogaerts not making it.

    Fan voting is OK with me. But fan voting + game decides HFA for WS = ludicrous fiasco.
  11. Bellhorn04
    I respect this position, but... I think Ben really rolled the dice with the rotation. While it's true that 4 of the 5 are below their career numbers, all 5 of these guys had something scary in their numbers too. The only guy whose underperformance so far is genuinely shocking is Porcello. All these guys had a lot of downside risk. That's the way I see it anyway.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Even if he needs TJS?
  13. Bellhorn04
    I'm still on the side that Ben used faulty reasoning in constructing the pitching staff. Short on talent, and our most talented starter was also extremely fragile.

    Bogaerts has Old School Stats that stack up very well against All-Star shortstops over the years. A .304 BA, 41 RBI, only 5 errors. Those are outstanding Old School numbers for a SS.

    Nice post Dojji.

    The Jays have dropped 9 of 13 and are back to .500. Emptying the farm for Cueto sounds like a pretty bad idea. But emptying the farm for rental aces hasn't been the trend anyway. Just look at last year.

    Let me put it this way: is there any historical evidence whatsoever of any team's performance benefiting from having a rotating DH?
  18. Bellhorn04
    The Yankees, like us, have done better when they had a fulltime DH raking, like Matsui in 2009. I want a DH who's hitting, not one who's resting.
  19. Bellhorn04
    He put a smiley at the end of his.
  20. Bellhorn04
    How is it strange when the lineup is producing and we're winning games?
  21. Bellhorn04
    $200 mil will get you one of them and not much else.
  22. Bellhorn04
    I think this is a fallacy. The Sox have won 3 World Series with Ortiz as fulltime DH. The Yankees have tried that rotating DH thing and gotten s*** production out of it. In 2013 they got a .583 OPS from DH. In 2014 they got a .662.
  23. Bellhorn04
    For Koji it's like 2013 again. The man is unreal.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Big Papi at first again tonight. Farrell lied - lied, I tell ya!
  25. Bellhorn04
    LMAO. Seriously, the guy should have a butler, nanny, and various other helpers paid for by the team.
