    Alex Speier sums up the horrorshow rather eloquently April’s grim conclusion arrived in familiar fashion for the Red Sox. The season’s dizzying first month was characterized primarily by a woeful offense that scored two or fewer runs 10 times in 22 contests. That offensive outage, in turn, placed immense pressure on a pitching staff whose formless bullpen often toppled in narrow defeats. Those elements were on display Saturday night at Camden Yards, where the Sox wasted a brilliant performance by starter Nate Eovaldi in a dispiriting 2-1, walkoff loss to the Orioles that concluded a 9-13 month of April that included an 0-4 record in extra-inning games and a 3-6 mark in one-run contests.

    Red...this is disappointing.
  3. Bellhorn04
    But for pitching fWAR they use FIP.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Thunder Mojo.

    Seems a bit primitive.

    Fangraphs says he has a -0.1 WAR this year, after a -1.5 WAR last year. Don't they take all that stuff into account?
  7. Bellhorn04
    When Hill pitches well he's a "crafty old southpaw". When he pitches badly he's an "aging junkballer".

    The difference being that JBJ had the sub .500 OPS last year, so there are legit reasons to be concerned that he's not going to bounce back. Dalbec is on thin ice too.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Yes, but a continued sub .500 OPS would be a problem.
  10. Bellhorn04
    I'd call it "hopeful theorizing".
  11. Bellhorn04
    Funny game, ain't it?
  12. Bellhorn04
    Everybody knows about Story's home/road splits. What's not publicized as much is that Bogaerts's road OPS is .756. So that would be "not good" in your books too, right? Edit Ha, talk about getting beat to the punch!

    Cool! Gotta like guys like that.

    You're making way too much out of small samples. In his last 11 games, Suzuki has a .611 OPS and no homers. It can take a little while for pitchers to adjust to hitters they've never seen before and figure out their weak spots. It's a long season.

    Downs's OPS is up to .789 - just behind Casas's .801.
  18. Bellhorn04
    *Hopefully* his offense does, at least.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Yes, in 2019 there were many comments about how dumb it was to give Eovaldi $68 mill for one nice little playoff run...
  20. Bellhorn04
    I accept.
  21. Bellhorn04
    That's all reasonable. The only thing I would argue is that the fans who complained about Bogey sitting don't necessarily represent the entirety of the Nation. Complainers tend to be the ones who get "loud and clear", as you say.
  22. Bellhorn04
    I trust Cora knows what he's doing, a lot more than I trust the opinion of a bunch of fans. It's as simple as that.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Needless to say, they could quite easily be 8 and 12 even if Bogey did play.
  24. Bellhorn04
    ABUSE him, you mean. Sure, that's gonna work. Maybe he decides to just sit out some games on his own then...
  25. Bellhorn04
    Why did Whitlock start the game against the Rays? I can't remember.
