    I liked Tito too but 2011 was clearly the end. 8 years as Red Sox manager is a long time. He left with a great record.

    Earl Weaver covered this one pretty nicely when someone asked him about the momentum factor. 'Momentum? Momentum is the next day's starting pitcher.'

    Just an unbelievable talent. Very sad that he died so young.

    The offense has averaged about 5.5 runs a game. It won't get any better than that. Some guys will heat up but others will cool off. Scoring runs will not be a problem over the course of the season. The dead horse is right in this case - our rotation will determine our fate.

    Here's something that came as a revelation to me recently. There was some sort of discussion about Mickey Mantle's career on the other board and I looked him up on B-R. It has often been said that Mantle hung on too long, that he was a shell at the end, etc. His last year was 1968. The big tragedy was that he hit .237. But his slash line was 237/385/398 for an OPS of 782. That was the Year of the Pitcher, and his OPS+ was 143. Not that bad at all! The lowest OPS+ he had for any year from 1952 to 1968 was 137.

    Let's go Irish Joe!

    OTOH it was pretty well documented that Maddon had a lot to do with the Rays blowing Game 5 to us - pulling Kazmir early etc.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Apparently Hamels is a Slow Starter. Maybe that's why Benny Boy hasn't traded for him yet.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I see what you did there.
  10. Bellhorn04
    And to tie those thoughts together, I think we sound like pussies when we complain about a schedule that has 162 games in it. But I am Canadian and perfect.
  11. Bellhorn04
    My question - is Maddon a good manager, a guy who gets the most of out his players?
  12. Bellhorn04
    Only thing I can figure is that it was done to give the Nats a break because they're playing 12 days in a row.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Hamels is another guy off to a rough start.
  14. Bellhorn04
    What are some of the specific things he has said and done that lead you to that opinion, Kimmi? I'm asking this because, while I dislike him too, I'm not so sure it isn't just because he's one of those people whose looks and style can really get on your nerves.
  15. Bellhorn04
    The comments following the article are also interesting. I especially liked the ones by Marc Schneider, probably because his viewpoint seems so close to mine.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, put a fork in us. 62-100
  17. Bellhorn04
    OTOH if a manager acts like Mr. Strategy and looks like a nerd, complete with the Coke bottle glasses, you have Joe Maddon, who irritates the hell out of a lot of people, including the folks who love stats.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Or Tavarez. (Does being nuts going along with having a rubber arm?)
  19. Bellhorn04
    I heard a few people predict we'd be winning a lot of 8-7 games this year. Maybe they were right.
  20. Bellhorn04
    And Kershaw has a 5.84 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP. It happens.
  21. Bellhorn04
    It's hard to take someone seriously when they're typing too fast to spell. This guy is acting more and more like a troll, probably one who's been here before.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Lester is off to a rough start. Cubs came back and won the game.
  23. Bellhorn04
    No offense, but you can't expect anyone to be able to respond to a post that has that many questions in it.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Rivera is more deserving of being in the HOF than Pettitte because Rivera was the best at his position.
  25. Bellhorn04
    He's got 2 hits and 2 walks in the last 2 games. He'll come around.
