So they're converting Barraclough to a starter, interesting.
-
When Sox losses are bumming me out, I come here to vent my spleen, I freely admit it. I get most of my venting done in the morning, right after I get some caffeine in me. And now I feel better again, and ready to absorb more abuse.
-
So now I'm going to have to check the stats and see how much the ratio of hits to errors has changed.
-
Nobody should be questioning anyone's fandom here.
-
But they signed Yoshida to a 5 year deal and Jansen and Martin to 2 year deals. How does it make sense to do that if you're only half-ass-in?
-
Pre-season projections said the Sox would be around .500 and miss the playoffs. Pre-season projections said Bloom had done a half-ass job. Pre-season projections are looking accurate.
-
As I've said, everyone knew the AL East was going to be tough this year. It wasn't a surprise. Which means the front office was supposed to take that into account. That is most definitely part of their job.
-
Nonsense, I didn't say any of this. You don't read other people's posts carefully at all. I have HIGHLIGHTED the luck factor. But if we're going to fall back on the "tough division" excuse for not making playoffs and we're going to use that to pronounce Bloom's work a success, I'd say that's pretty pathetic.
-
Agreed, but it's better to be remembered for the Benintendi Play than for the Buckner Play...
-
Is complaining about unequal divisions kind of like being a...crybaby?
-
It's not just that. He has stopped drawing walks and is striking out more. Reportedly he's wearing down from the travel schedule. None of this points to better things ahead.
-
This kind of inequity has been going on forever. The front office is supposed to take these things into account. The fact that the Sox are in a tough division was one more reason to make a better effort this offseason. They chose not to. Should we give them a pass for that?
-
But if guys are making it every night like you said...
-
I know, I seem to be leading the way on this, and believe me, I'm not happy to be doing so.
-
Can you name the last 5 guys to make that catch?
-
FanGraphs chances to make playoffs on August 23: Phillies 87.7% Red Sox 7.8%
-
As SPLINTER noted in the game thread, we don't have anyone who can both hit and field. Does this sound like the start of a country song? Our hitters can't field And our fielders can't hit
-
Barring big turnarounds, both of Bloom's big dollar acquisitions, Story and Yoshida, appear to be busts.
-
Yoshida's fWAR at 0.8 and dropping.

Devers signs 11 year $331 million extension

I said it's funny that for Devers the throwing part is harder than the fielding part. Your response is a tad confusing. -
He hits the ball on the ground a lot and he's not fast. As a result he's grounded into a whopping 15 DP's.

The yips are no joke. -
Not enough to move the needle. It's not the worst signing anyone has ever made, that's for sure. But it doesn't look like a major success considering the money and the hype.

It's funny, you'd think throwing the ball accurately to first would be easier than fielding it. But it's often the throwing that causes the most problems. -

And Casas seems like a disciplined guy based on his offensive approach. I agree he should improve.
