    Yes, that's what I meant.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Future left side of infield Bogaerts and Iggy? WMB will have to find a new position, assuming he can also become a better hitter, or be traded.
  3. Bellhorn04
    5-9 hitters for Yankees tonight: Wells Neal Adams Brignac Romine Wow.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Matt Moore gets pounded for the third straight game.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Marcum seems like a guy who's just about done, no? The 8-inning, 1-run stint he had was against the Marlins, from the 13th to the 20th innings. Seems like teams can go into complete hitting funks in these extra-inning games, and the Marlins are not that good to begin with.
  6. Bellhorn04
    I'm not convinced that the Phillies will even make Lee available.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Close enough. Tex, Hafner, Youk and Wells were a combined 0 for 28 with 12 K's.

    I don't think it means much. Anything can happen in one game. Even if it was a series I don't think it would mean much. A classic reversal was in 2007, when Cleveland was 0-6 vs. the Yankees in the regular season and outscored 49-17. They won the playoff series in 4 games.
  9. Bellhorn04
    No, I don't think I would right now. For me, thoughts of Papelbon only arise if and when the back end of our pen looks scary. So far this year it's been very good.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Huh? BABIP is factored into WAR, seriously? Papelbon's WHIP and K/BB are also much better than Bailey's.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Baseball-Ref has Papelbon at 1.0 and Bailey at 0.7, which makes more sense to me based on their numbers.

    Before the season I said 84 wins on paper, 90 wins if we're really fortunate, 78 wins if we're really unfortunate. Now of course I'm hoping for at least 90 wins and the division. But it's a long long season. What I'm really happy about is that this team seems to have great intangibles. It seems to be a team that shows up to play every game and bounces back from adversity.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I think he's much more comfortable there now.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Or maybe Ben's 'passive demeanor' is just a front, and he's an absolute ass-kicker behind the scenes. Your guess is as good as mine. All that matters is what's on the field.
  15. Bellhorn04
    If you're looking for sugar coating, you're not going to get it from 700hitter.

    Just heard that the roster move might be Mortensen to the DL. How would that be for a perfect solution?
  17. Bellhorn04
    Apparently Jose De La Torre is going to be up for tonight's game but they still have to figure out the corresponding roster move.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I gotta be honest, I packed it in the bottom of the 9th with Mortensen on the mound. When I woke up this morning and checked the scores I had a bad feeling I was going to see 7-6 Rays in 9 innings. When I saw 10-8 Red Sox in 14 it was like holy f***, how did we manage that...a very ugly win, but needless to say that's 100% better than a very ugly loss.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Another 10-year, quarter of a billion dollar contract for another 32-year old player. How could that be a bad idea?
  20. Bellhorn04
    Yes, Pujols was an incredibly stupid contract. The Angels could see the A-Rod disaster unfolding right in front of them and they chose to copy it anyway.
  21. Bellhorn04
    So Ciriaco is DFA'd, Middlebrooks is recalled and starting at 3B. Drew at SS, Iggy is backup.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Love the thread title though.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I know. It just gives you this s***** feeling every time we play there. Definitely the worst venue in baseball.
  24. Bellhorn04
    They do get paid a lot, but some of the s*** that Red Sox managers have taken, I wouldn't wish on anybody. Don Zimmer, John McNamara, Grady Little...they all had costly f***ups, for which many Boston fans have never forgiven them. Even Francona with 2 titles has taken an inordinate amount of abuse.
  25. Bellhorn04
    But good players can have huge variances in performance. Buchholz had a 4.56 ERA in 2012. He has a 1.71 ERA in 2013. Same player, hugely different results. How much can be attributed to a change in management? Nobody knows. A lot of this stuff is completely intangible.
