  1. Is it possible that because of issues with his own name, Billy Beane has an unnatural obsession with names that start with B? Could it be an undetected, severe psychological disorder? Would it explain why he has one player named Billy Butler and another one named Billy Burns? Why he’s been wanting all these years to pry Ben Zobrist from the Rays? Most disturbingly, why he thought trading Josh Donaldson for Brett Lawrie was a great idea?
  2. Yep, this thread is dead all right. One thing about this place, sometimes you can have it all to yourself LOL
  3. Semien is an awkward name.
  4. A lot of people are dong other things at 6 on a Saturday, that's all it is.
  5. High school was a bad time for me. I wasn't bullied, I was just invisible.
  6. Yep, the Twins signed him to a $184 million deal and built a park that would take away his home runs.
  7. It's about the same as it was last year.
  8. The most mind-numbing stat to me is that we are averaging 3.74 runs per game. That's even worse than last year when we averaged 3.91.
  9. It really is hard to believe how bad the offense is.
  10. Has Charlie Kelly ever told anyone they don't know s*** from shinola?
  11. So in about 10 years.
  12. No question, the pep talk from the World's Richest Cadaver did wonders.
  13. Yes, but we are 24 points worse with RISP, and the league average is 33 points better with RISP, so that's a pretty big gap.
  14. Who are you quoting?
  15. 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?
  16. Right. If RBI's are looked at contextually they can have some meaning...that's the way I see it.
  17. 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.
  18. But if RBI's are meaningless, aren't 'hitting with RISP' stats also meaningless?
  19. Your pre-game optimism is admirable.
  20. It does seem that losing Vazquez, and then Hanigan as well, has hurt a lot in that intangible area of leadership.
  21. 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.
  22. Ortiz was never in a DH platoon with Lowell.
