  1. One of the most underrated important catches for the Sox, with 20/20 hindsight, was by Trot Nixon off Matsui in Game 5 of the 2004 ALCS. I don't expect most people to even remember it.
  2. Hey, that could be a new stat - % of Wall Climbing Opportunities Converted.
  3. I say we combine DRS and UZR into DUZRS.
  4. I'm fine with extra points for clutch. Benintendi had one of the great clutch plays.
  5. You're asking for a 20 post, progressively more unpleasant exchange...
  6. Great catch, but he wasn't running full speed the way Lynn had to. I think the ball Lynn caught was on a lower trajectory and got out there quicker.
  7. Needless to say, it's a universal rule that you can't just say "X" and "Y" were about equally tremendous, you have to invest a huge amount of time and energy arguing which one was better.
  8. Pretty hard to top this catch by Lynn in Baltimore.
  9. I'd call the continued existence of "Power Rankings" another example of media's belief that the general public has an insatiable need for any kind of information, no matter how stupid and pointless.
  10. Nice grumpy old men thread.
  11. Good to know we're not the only ones who overreact to tiny samples!
  12. As moon pointed out, the ratio of K's to other outs is much higher now, so that has an impact on the fielding chances.
  13. No offense to Bello, but it is notable that while he's been the most ballyhooed of the group, the others all look like better pitchers at this point.
  14. Oh sure, pick on the low-hanging fruit.
  15. In basketball one obvious issue is that the 3 point shot has become so prevalent.
  16. It's luck of the draw. Sometimes you face a good pitcher who's got his best stuff that day.
  17. Time for the Mike Mussina quote on variances in pitching performance: Out of 32 starts, you're going to have 8 where everything is working, 8 where nothing is working, and 16 where something is working.
  18. And right now Story looks pretty valuable with his sterling defense, leadership qualities and RH bat (hopefully). Trade Mayer? Trade Grissom? Crag will figure something out.
  19. I think offense across baseball might be down a tick this year, just because pitching has become so sophisticated in approach, with the Sox being a primary example (hopefully).
  20. Excellent, I finally have an official position here.
  21. Good thing we didn't trade Duran! (Is it too early to be buzzarding?)
  22. A little worried that Devers's shoulder isn't right.
  23. He did mostly good things for the franchise, that's for sure.
