    Now this sounds like the truth.
  2. Bellhorn04
    It's up to you to hunt down those who said that. 😉

    The timing doesn't surprise me. The meeting with Henry apparently didn't go well, Raffy's lack of hustle made matters worse. San Fran presumably made a push for the trade recently and they made an offer the Sox found acceptable.

    I can see taking Devers's side on the position switch stuff. But how you do take the side of a guy making 31 million a year who won't run hard to first base.
  5. Bellhorn04
    The loss of Betts stands alone. That was a grievous mistake. Bogaerts won't earn his contract, not even close, and Devers probably won't either. Of the three, the only one who sped their own departure was Devers. He really let us down as a teammate and a person. He'll be remembered more like Nomar.
  6. Bellhorn04
    I don't think they would have done this unless they thought Devers's attitude had become a serious and insoluble problem.
  7. Bellhorn04
    This tends to suggest that Devers not running out that ground ball did not go over well.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Francona couldn't manage Nomar in 2004.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I think they did what they had to do.

    Imagine the stark terror of lefty pitchers now seeing Refsnyder as the leadoff hitter.
  11. Bellhorn04
    And I expect "availability" is largely determined by usage charts that are closely monitored from Day One to the final pitch of the season - taking into account all the various health or fatigue issues that pop up along the way.

    I guarantee you that actual major league baseball teams in the year 2025 use a lot more than BA, ISO, Walk Rate, SB, Runs Produced and Fielding Percentage to evaluate players. You realize that teams have large analytics departments now?

    There's some confusion here. Over 1 IP is at least 4 batters. 1 IP is at least 3. The majority of his appearances are 1 IP.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Let's try this instead: In 2024 he pitched 46.2 IP, which was his highest since 2018. In 2025 he's pitched 24.0 IP, which puts him on pace for over 50. He's not being underused in relation to his career history.

    Position player fWARs: NY has 7 at 1.3 or higher 5.9/1.8/1.7/1.6/1.6/1.4/1.3 Bos has 6 at 1.2 or higher 2.5/2.4/1.9/1.7/1.2/1.2

    Plus those one batter outings make sense from a strategic viewpoint. The one batter would be a lefty and the last out of an inning. And only throwing 5 pitches or whatever means he'll be available for more outings.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Why Devers?

    To me the Yanks and the Rays are a big litmus test, they're both tough teams in very different ways. The Yanks want to demolish you while the Rays want to torture you with their nerdy no-name approach.
  19. Bellhorn04
    We've played well so far this year against the Yankees and the Rays. And that's all I'll say about it because we must play them many more times!
  20. Bellhorn04
    Great example of how large the spread between bWAR and fWAR can be, not just for a season but for a whole career: our old friend Rick Porcello. Career bWAR 18.8 Career fWAR 29.6 That's large! In his final season, the short one of 2020, Porcello had a grisly ERA of 5.64 in 59 innings, but a FIP of 3.33. fWAR - 1.6 - ace level! bWAR - 0.2 - barely above replacement level! Since he never pitched again, did teams reject the usefulness of fWAR for pitchers?

    According to Cora it's an organizational philosophy. Managerial input into this stuff is limited now.
  22. Bellhorn04
    So much for talking baseball. 🙃
  23. Bellhorn04
    Buying.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Still not seeing an answer to my question, Mr. Honesty. I guess you're afraid of it.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Dude, why exactly do you think I would I want to visit your profile page as often as you're claiming? Do you have dirty pictures there or something? 🙃 Super weird that this bothers you so much. I can only chalk it up to paranoia. Now, Mr. Honesty, I'll ask again: have you been banned from here more than once or not?
