    Let's talk about team hitting with RISP. Red Sox team OPS .683 Red Sox OPS with RISP .659 AL avg. OPS .713 AL avg. OPS with RISP .746 Is our team's failure with RISP meaningful?
  2. Bellhorn04
    That's the spirit LOL
  3. Bellhorn04
    Right. If RBI's are looked at contextually they can have some meaning...that's the way I see it.
  4. Bellhorn04
    True, but you also have to consider that it was just around May 13 we stopped playing AL East teams for a while. The 3 teams that really fattened up our ERA were NYY, Baltimore and Toronto.
  5. Bellhorn04
    But if RBI's are meaningless, aren't 'hitting with RISP' stats also meaningless?
  6. Bellhorn04
    Your pre-game optimism is admirable.
  7. Bellhorn04
    It does seem that losing Vazquez, and then Hanigan as well, has hurt a lot in that intangible area of leadership.

    Kimmi, I'm afraid the pre-season projections about the Sox having a great offense this year may have been made with rose-colored glasses. The facts are that we had one of the worst offenses in the league last year, and our big additions were Hanley and Panda, who had an unspectacular OPS of .739 last year. Declines by Ortiz and Napoli this year are not shocking. Where exactly was this big leap from bad offense to great offense supposed to come from, when you break it down? Was it based on high hopes for Mookie, Bogaerts and Castillo - maybe even Craig? Go through our offense one by one. The numbers are consistently disappointing, and yet, none of them should really be all that shocking.

    Ortiz was never in a DH platoon with Lowell.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Those are the kinds of transactions you didn't even know about before the internet.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Could be worse, Kimmi. On BDC Pumpsie just started a thread called 'Time to clean house'.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Not a very big sample. But he also has 6 walks in the last 3 games.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Napoli has turned it around already. In his last 12 games he's hitting 368/500/816.
  14. Bellhorn04
    I don't think so.
  15. Bellhorn04
    No, he certainly shouldn't be dumped during the season. Especially when the results are far from all in.

    If the third highest payroll in the game and a sound approach gets you a 22-27 with a 20-29 Pythagorean, what does this say about sound approaches and projections? Also, this is two years in a row of vastly underperforming expectations. If it was just this year it would be a bit less disturbing.

    I see no reason to demean Cherington with 'errand boy' and the like. But the reference to fantasy baseball does have some relevance for me. I have this slightly disturbing feeling that Cherington and the Sox have been taking a kind of impulsive, gambling approach with their moves. You certainly can't call it a conservative approach with the money they've thrown around. One thing they seem to have gotten right in their projections is that the AL East stinks and they're going to be able to stay in the race if they can only sniff .500 ball. Then, supposedly, they can decide whether to beef up the rotation or not. I don't know if I like any of this thinking. The bottom line is we've got a very expensive team with a 22-27 record and a run differential that's even worse. To me this is the year for both Cherington and Farrell to show what they've got. Right now it doesn't look good. And if it's the coaching that's letting us down, that's Cherington's ultimate responsibility too.

    Swihart is starting to impress.
  19. Bellhorn04
    That'd be pretty interesting. If he got along with the pitchers he could be great, because I don't think many people know more about how to pitch than Schilling.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I have very little faith this year, but I certainly still have just as much interest. Bring on the game. Go E-Rod!
  21. Bellhorn04
    After sweeping KC, the Yankees might go on another one of their good runs and bury us in the near future.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Maybe. He's had 4 good starts and 5 horrible ones. Not a great average.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Sorry, that was just a joke.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Tanaka gave up a home run and a double to JBJ yesterday. Sorry boys but that clinches it...Tommy John.
  25. Bellhorn04
    The reason they haven't fired Chili yet is because they want to space out all the ax jobs a bit, to make things look more methodical.
