    No, it is better. The stats show it.
  2. Bellhorn04
    What did Cora actually say though? Did he say Kike will never play the position again, or that he is no longer the regular?
  3. Bellhorn04
    Yes. Because the other factor is that postseason offensive numbers are lower, because the pitching is better, due to the off days largely eliminating back end starters and back end relievers.
  4. Bellhorn04
    The Bellhorn Clutch Metric uses only postseason numbers vs. regular season numbers. It simplifies things tremendously. Because there are very few regular season games that are huge games, whereas almost every postseason game is a huge game.

    The only possible explanation I can offer is that Chang is coming off an injury and they're easing him back in. That's all I've got.
  6. Bellhorn04
    That's fair. I'm just saying that "yips" and "choke" are in the same family...ugly little half-brothers.
  7. Bellhorn04
    In my opinion the playing guys out of position thing comes more from Bloom's roster construction. A lot of injuries also contributed to Kike playing short this year. But Bloom could have headed that off by signing Andrus or Iglesias. But I certainly get the criticism that Cora has gone too long with Kike at short. And it's natural to suspect that he's doing it because he and Kike are close. Bloom could end the whole thing by DFA'ing Kike. He's the one who has the ultimate say on these things.

    Hey, if players can get the yips, doesn't that kind of prove players can choke? There's arguably a very fine line between the two. They're both about the brain affecting the body.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Now that's f***ing ********. No way Chaim Bloom brings the guy back if he's a bad teammate. Showing a little individuality in your appearance doesn't make you a bad teammate. The guy is playing bad and probably should be DFAd, but there's no need to trash him.

    In his last 13 games, Mookie Betts has 23 hits, including 8 homers and 8 doubles, and 14 walks. That's insane!
  11. Bellhorn04
    Turner wasn't at second base to keep everybody happy. It's the one way to get every good bat in the lineup.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Probably time for Bloom to DFA Kike.
  13. Bellhorn04
    We're on a great run, man. I did not expect to sweep the Jays. I did not expect to take 2 of 3 from Texas, and I was pretty sure we'd lose when Eovaldi pitched. I was also concerned about the A's series because of our pattern of playing down to the competition. Maybe Cora is doing something right.
  14. Bellhorn04
    How the hell would any of us know he's soft mentally? If anyone here has pitched in major league baseball, their opinion might count. Don't take that as an attack, I'm just talking in general terms, about the way we all talk about players. Like I said, it's easy to judge here in the armchair.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Yep. Comes with the territory, and none are exempt. And we're always right, here in our armchairs.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Barnes is a very forgivable mistake by Bloom. Not that much money in relative terms. And his demise was not really predictable.
  17. Bellhorn04
    That's all true though. There has never been a last-place team over .500 since they went to 5 team divisions. Right now last place in the ALE is 6 games over. It's all just random s***, basically.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Don't the sub 200 hitters indicate that the pitchers are better now? Pitchers throw harder and with more spin. Baseball is a zero sum game. Better pitching makes for worse hitting and vice versa. Plus you have guys like Schwarber who can be under 200 but still a weapon because of all the walks and the power.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Maybe it'll be twice after this year. I think his average is at least trending up.
  20. Bellhorn04
    El Skankos in Colorado tonight. Cashman just fired their hitting coach and brought in one-year Sox player Sean Casey. Much discontent there with Boone, Cashman and Hal.
  21. Bellhorn04
    His coffee is almost as good as Ben's.
  22. Bellhorn04
    He smiles too much.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Appropriately bolded.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Money-wise, it would be like 4 Chris Sales.
  25. Bellhorn04
    No one is saying Judge isn't a monster talent. But he has a significant injury history. Can't hit any homers from the IL. Devers is not much of a team guy? Where does that come from?
