    The simplest answer I can give is that this is a place I feel a license to be stupid when the mood strikes.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Here is where your reasoning becomes dubious. Over his career Schwarbs has hit .879 against righties and .682 against lefties. That's a gulf. You are arguing that Cora should have respected the short sample over the long one. What makes you think that's statistically sound? Have you done research on this?
  3. Bellhorn04
    He certainly gets credit for sticking with Duran.
  4. Bellhorn04
    You could certainly be right, but it's all speculation until Henry's deathbed confessions.
  5. Bellhorn04
    And 7 innings of shutout ball is a unicorn. I think Whitlock has our only 7 inning start?
  6. Bellhorn04
    Fair enough. The question is does this mean the offers to Lester when he became a free agent were bogus?
  7. Bellhorn04
    Hopefully we're not cheating. (Somebody had to say it.)

    Duran has in effect played like a 10 WAR player.
  9. Bellhorn04
    And Duran has only played in 19 of our 35 games.

    Right, that and the brawl with the Yankees were the two most exciting moments for the 1976 Sox.

    No, it's just that mvp and notin were talking about Ref being no more than a weak-side platoon guy, so I had to point that out. A lot of my posts here are strictly for fun.

    Casas OTOH is not hot, but he's playing every day. I would suggest that's because they want him to get the reps. It's just not as simple as play the hot guy and rest the cold guy.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Like I said, it might be more about the mental break. You're pretty old school, man.

    Refsnyder's 2-out, 2-run double last night was off a RH pitcher.
  15. Bellhorn04
    The other thing about the day off for Masa is that it meant playing time for Refsnyder or Tapia, and they both contributed to last night's win.
  16. Bellhorn04
    But the thing is, scheduled days off have to be planned in advance. Otherwise they wouldn't be scheduled days off. I think in the modern game there's a lot of pre-game preparation, studying film and data on the opposing starting pitcher etc. I think that part of the day off is getting a mental break from that stuff, not just a physical break. Let's see if Yoshida stays hot after the day off.

    There was no rule. I think it's just another of our urban myths. Can anyone find what Henry actually said about that?
  18. Bellhorn04
    Cora reminds me a lot of Francona, and I think he learned a lot from Tito.
  19. Bellhorn04
    True nuff.
  20. Bellhorn04
    The way the team is playing right now, I can't find much to hate about Bloom's moves - funny how that works LOL
  21. Bellhorn04
    100%
  22. Bellhorn04
    Seriously? Masa had played for 15 straight games before Cora rested him. And he only had a single in the game before being rested. Do you really think no players should have any scheduled rest days, that Cora needs to base it all on whether they're hot or not? Obviously, I'm in agreement with Cora. I think he handles this stuff great.
  23. Bellhorn04
    3.86 ERA in last 3 starts vs. BAL, TOR & PHI, 3 strong offenses, so there are signs of hope.
  24. Bellhorn04
    If I was your editor, I'd amend that to "Hold him in high dudgeon!" and it would be perfect, IMO.
  25. Bellhorn04
    On MLB Gameday this year, an awful lot of pitches are being identified as "sweepers"!
