    I liked WAFL - Wins Above Felipe Lopez.

    Thanks Red.

    Fred, I'm sorry but I have to put you on ignore for a while. It's not because I dislike you or think you're a bad fan or any of that. It's strictly because too many of your posts are of the downer variety. I decided this when I read your post about Rafaela k'ing on his first 2 ABs of spring. That did it. Now I know you will likely respond that you're just reporting the facts and it's too bad the facts suck etc. Nobody disputes the fact that he did indeed strike out twice. It's your response that depressed me. I'm talking about an actual physiological response where my spirit sagged. I realize that some of this might sound comical, which is partially intended, but I'm quite serious about the downer thing. I just turned 70 and life is too short. Anyway I just wanted to explain. Go Sox.

    I predict that Campbell leads the team in PAs in spring games.

    Fred, you just enjoy being a pain.

    Did anybody get injured? If nobody got injured, it was a good day.

    B+ seems fair. For some reason B+ feels like a really cool grade. Technically A- is better, but there's something about having a + instead of a -. Actually I think Craig did a great job. He was busy as heck and we're spending again. Now we just have to put those darn wins on the board.

    The poll shows as closed on March 26/26 LOL. I'll go with 91 wins.

    Fred is Eeyore on Steroids. Quite a picture, I know. 😉

    There are different categories of betting propositions though. I think with a bet like an over-under of 87.5 wins Vegas absolutely wants equal money on both sides, because there are only 2 possible outcomes. I used to get confused by what gamblers meant by "the hook". Then I realized they were referring to the .5 because the number 5 looks a little like a hook.

    Bunting for hits is still good. Somebody said this guy can do that.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Seems like a good trade. Also seems like we're really trying to field a complete baseball team - it's been a while. Nice work Craig.

    Cabrera had a great short Red Sox career.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Rumors suggest that Breslow is still looking to add a bat in a trade. I think he will, it'll be disappointing if it doesn't happen.
  15. Bellhorn04
    A poster on SOSH said Breslow seems to think his job title is Chief Pitching Officer, not Chief Baseball Officer.
  16. Bellhorn04
    The offense definitely looks questionable.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Seems like maybe they have pivoted to keeping lanes wide open for Mayer and Campbell with IKF as insurance.
  18. Bellhorn04
    At the end of the day my take on this is kind of old school, I guess. I don't think a player should publicly diss his manager or his CBO. As I said before if they do it only once, maybe they can apologize and move on. But Raffy did it more than once and he didn't apologize, more like he doubled down. To me that's a pretty shocking thing for a player to do. I can't remember too many players ever doing that, period. Maybe in the heat of the moment saying something stupid. But Raffy practically had a bullhorn out telling everyone Breslow was wrong to ask him to play first and he needed to do his job and go get a first baseman.
  19. Bellhorn04
    No, you can't get that back, but the relationship was poisoned, and that's a really bad situation when you still owe a guy $250 million.
  20. Bellhorn04
    We can go over this forever of course. When Casas got injured that threw a monkey wrench into everything. Maybe Breslow should not have gotten involved like he did. But as I said I think Devers handled himself very poorly with his public comments disparaging Breslow. It seemed like Raffy thought he was bigger than the team.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I still fault Devers for the trade. He couldn't have had a more supportive manager than Cora who I think tried everything to keep him happy. Raffy showed up his team more than once with his public comments. That crosses the line. Doing it once is fixable, but he seemed to feel entitled to do it as much as he felt like it.
  22. Bellhorn04
    And I don't disagree.
  23. Bellhorn04
    The only thing I remember is some griping about Schwarber being hurt at the time of the trade. And a certain poster calling him Flintstone over and over.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Hicks was basically a reciprocal mini-dump that reduced the savings of dumping Devers's contract. If Breslow and Bailey think he's worth another look that's up to them.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I would have been happy to sign Bregman but Suarez was a pretty nice pivot. We just need a third baseman and we're ready to go.
