Like I said I get the logic. The stats bear it out. It's counter-intuitive because it seems to make sense to have one of your best hitters up after the 1 and 2 hitters, who are usually high OBP guys. It would be interesting to see it broken down by inning as well.
-
Yeah, the whole thing about the #3 hitter is perfectly logical yet counter-intuitive at the same time.
-
It doesn't take much of a noticeable difference to be much more demanding and difficult. Just ask Bobby Dalbec.
-
O'Neill is a much better fielder than Renfroe and much younger than Duvall. Plus I'm desperate to come up with something to talk about with this team.
-
I'm hoping this is a point that's not actually in dispute...
-
I'd like that.
-
notin's idea about extending O'Neill may not be that crazy. We need some freaking RH hitting, no?
-
What a strange team, these 2024 Red Sox. The starting pitching has been vastly better than expected, elsewhere there are a ton of issues. Personally I don't think this offense is going to get much better than it looks right now.
-
They're cutting corners.
-
I think they see Rafaela as their long term CFer, so I can understand not using him for a short term fix at the SS position and possibly messing up his development. He also has 3 errors in the OF so it's not like he's been flawless out there.
-
I think Stanton will continue to be streaky as hell. But his hot streaks can do damage. If he OPS's .800 I think you have to take that.
-
Of course it is and of course they will. And no one is saying practice isn't important. Practice is important. All the practice in the world won't make some guys good enough at the MLB level. (Do we think Bobby Dalbec isn't working at batting practice?) Two simple statements that are both true and not that hard to keep in the head at the same time.
-
Betts is making the move to shortstop look like cake. Pretty incredible, really.
-
It's the first full throttle tank job. We're breaking new ground.
-
Mookie Betts has a 1.8 bWAR on April 14. Not a joke.

Speaking of Betts, I watched last night's Dodgers game, and the guy might be better than ever. -

Yeah, it sucks. I think this franchise will turn it around but it's gonna take way too long. 2019 was a bad year in John Henry's head. He thought he could trade Betts and go Tampa Bay North and he would thereby prove he was the biggest genius in baseball. He was incredibly wrong. -
Trying to treat that year as nonexistent for our team. Nice digging though.

Much of what goes on here is not about devotion to the team but a form of cathartic psychotherapy. Mostly for older guys with too much time on their hands. -
The dream never dies, just the dreamer.
-
It's crazy though, in spring games he did OK as usual. Kind of like the Singing Frog thing. But yeah, the verdict is now more than in.
-
Same here. I still think my only shot at making contact would be against a knuckleballer.
-
I believe notin was referring to jettisoning Hanley and Pablo.
-
It's sad. Dalbec is just another poster boy for how hard it is to hit MLB pitching.
-
Oh, I be indicting it too.
