It's empirical fact that pitchers throw with significantly more velocity and spin than in the past.
-
Pitchers are not necessarily softer, but they are exponentially more susceptible to injury than in olden times.
-
If Texas stays hot, we may have to beat Seattle and the Rays for the last spot.
-
Keeping Bregman would be big. Players like him don't become available very often.
-
It's all a guessing game of no importance. Teams' internal ratings have some importance. -
A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II

Yee-ikes. -
Thanks Maddie, we needed an analytics whiz like you to step in and give us the true reasons. 😁

I think we can talk economics without getting into the ugly political end of things. I don't see how the US government can take in vast amounts of tariff revenue without prices to US consumers ultimately being driven up. Someone has to pay that money. Exporters can absorb some of it but eventually the costs will pass through to US businesses and consumers, it's inevitable. We'll see what happens. The court case starting this week should be very interesting.

What exactly is the big difference between regular season games and playoff games? We just played an extremely tough stretch of 9 games and held our own. We were in almost every game. The pitching was pretty good, that's the real key IMHO.
-
1) Who cares if it's pretty when you win? All 3 games with the Dodgers were tight. 2) Which AL teams look dominant? I'd say zero.
-
If the tariffs stay in place (big court case starts this week), inflation is coming. It's just kind of a slow process.

The questions about this are all fair. I'm a little old school in some of my thinking, and the conventional thinking about deadline trades for teams that are "going for it" is that you trade guys who are far away from helping you for guys who are going to help right now. Under that philosophy you would never consider trading a guy who's playing as well as Duran has been playing, because the net balance on the trade could easily be that you get WORSE THIS YEAR. Oddly enough, the Red Sox have already made 2 in-season trades that could end up making them WORSE THIS YEAR: the Priester trade and the Devers trade. Maybe they're squeamish about the prospect of making 3 such trades.
-
Fred's philosophy is that you can't lose by being negative. You're either proven right or you're pleasantly surprised.
-
Duran has definitely re-elevated his game, and at this point in time trading him seems like a pretty darn bad idea.

I was talking to the OP. I hadn't even seen your post,
-
You should wait until this game is over at least.
-
With the Dodgers Freeman is the guy you don't want to face in a big spot. (Not that Ohtani is a day in the park.)
-
4 years of Groundhog Day.
-
Only after he gives up some runs, though.
-
I said a 7 game difference over 162 games is not 'miniscule'. You said it's not significant, which is a much different word.
-
Kershaw can still pitch. Hell of a career. Now let's beat him up, please.
-
I'm not sure there are any hard ass managers left in MLB with Girardi and Showalter gone.

"The horror, the horror." -
So you're arbitrarily determining what's significant.

Wong and Devers each had a double last night, since we're having fun with sample sizes. Schwarber is a regret for sure.
