    It does preclude certain trades, any that involve taking on a bigger salary. I agree that he hasn't done anything really notable yet.
  2. Bellhorn04
    I'm assuming he was extremely limited in what he was allowed to spend.

    With Andrus, Feliz and Matt Harrison. Teixeira brought a nice package to Texas.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Ross, Shoppach, Podsednick, and Padilla have all had positive contributions.

    But ORS, the formula is just a mechanism to convert from total AB's into the actual data you're measuring. You could get the data differently, by actually counting each at bat that the ball was put in play. If you did that you would obviously not count strikeouts. But since you already have the AB's and K's being measured the formula is just a shortcut. I have to agree with User Name, strikeouts have no effect on BABIP. They just reduce the sample size.

    Personally I was fine with trying to make Bard a starter. Part of that is, I don't buy into the 'elite set up man' concept that much. I believe there are elite closers but it seems Bard just didn't want to be a closer. In the history of baseball there have not been very many 'career elite setup men'. The setup position is very transient. Padilla and Miller have been doing well, Bailey is coming back etc. We've got a herd of relievers but the #5 spot in the rotation is still an X factor.

    Anybody that isn't worried about Gonzo at this point is kidding themselves. Something isn't right and more than likely his shoulder is affecting him a lot more than he's saying. I won't be surprised if we get some sort of breaking news on this soon. Maybe the Red Sox crack medical staff should be proactive and examine it? Nah, they'd never do that...
  8. Bellhorn04
    That sums up this ugly loss.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Mine is frozen too...as frozen as Gonzo's HR total.

    Swell.

    Thanks for that image.

    DiceK is why God made Gameday.

    Depends on the expectations. If he can replace what Bard was doing prior to Sunday, that's an adequate #5 starter. And there aren't a whole lot of other options.
  14. Bellhorn04
    :lol:

    ??? Bard pitched 5.1 against Detroit. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that is 'out of the 5th' and 'into the 6th'.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Isn't 'indirect effect' kind of muddying the waters here? Russell Martin is hitting .194 with an OBP of .342 this year. Are the high number of walks having any effect at all on his batting avg? Did the high number of walks have any effect on J D Drew's batting avg.?
  17. Bellhorn04
    Yes and no. Morales gave the Sox a chance to come back but the bats were in the deep freeze for the day. 4.1 scoreless is pretty good against the Jays.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I did look at the stats. You said the Detroit start was a step back from the Philly start. Philly 5.0 IP ER 5 H 3 BB 5 K 3 Detroit 5.1 IP ER 2 H 5 BB 2 K 4
  19. Bellhorn04
    Correct me I'm wrong, but strikeouts simply have no effect at all on BABIP, they are a complete non-factor, the same way walks have no effect on batting avg.
  20. Bellhorn04
    How was the performance against Detroit a step backward? The consensus here was that it was a step forward.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Another thing I have to point out about the Bard situation, without trying to downplay the disastrousness of what happened yesterday, is that we had won his two previous starts against Baltimore and Detroit, with Bard allowing 2 runs in each. So it's not like the FO has been standing by watching something getting worse and worse.
  22. Bellhorn04
    No they would never think of that. Good God, the Red Sox have used the phantom DL plenty of times.

    Being in last place is not much of a factor when you're 3 games out of first place and there are 108 games left to play.
