  1. Theo Epstein explained it. He admitted that some of the analytics have made the game less fun to watch. It wasn't anything intentional, it just happened.
  2. My basic answer would be that people are not as simple as they're sometimes made out to be. I am interested in some of the analytical stuff. I like WAR. But some of the analytical stuff goes way beyond what I'm interested in. As for the shifting, I don't like what it does to the game and I'm glad about the rule change. Something else I will mention-Theo Epstein himself was probably one of the driving forces behind the change. Like I say, people aren't that simple.
  3. As far as those 14 games against AL East games are concerned, the pessimist is the realist.
  4. No worries, Manfred will fix what needs to be fixed.
  5. Wouldn't It Be Nice
  6. No, we sure didn't get to see much of the Hoz.
  7. Our next 5 games are against weaker teams. But after that, it's a Bataan Death March of 14 against the other 4 AL East teams to end the season. So .500 is extremely unlikely. Getting out of this season without any more injuries would probably be a more important goal.
  8. It's pounce and pounce alike.
  9. Was it a few weeks?
  10. We did, but he wasn't very good the last time he pitched for us. It's a great story, that's all.
  11. Unfortunately, one bad call can change the outcome of a game, or even the World Series, as it probably did in 1985.
  12. People can post whatever and however they want. That's exactly what's good about it.
  13. Bello is becoming a bright light, at least.
  14. That too.
  15. Yes, I've noticed that. No matter how questionable how they are, I'll still take them over any of us.
  16. Sorry man, but I trust the team's reasoning over yours.
  17. I assume the idea is to build up a little confidence first.
  18. That's BS. Playing armchair GM is part of every sports chat board. Says nothing about one's fandom.
  19. The Rays seem to have been making mostly good picks for years now, though.
  20. It's an ongoing theme with the Rays, excellent pitchers most people have never heard of before. And when one goes down they find another one.
  21. That's the collateral damage, yes.
  22. I like the rectangle. For one thing, it really highlights how well pitchers paint the corners.
  23. Yes. Worked superbly with another troll who was attacking you in particular...
  24. Yes, the problem is you have to count on everyone else to do it, and they won't.
