So you believe the main reason the Red Sox lead baseball in errors is because of range?
-
Base running errors are also a matter of opinion. Most of those are obvious too.
-
Or maybe the bullpen pitching is bad and the fielding is bad too. I tend to think both can easily be true. I'm not into reductionism, personally.
-
Some day we'll have robot scorers too. The fact is, a very high pct. of errors are not disputed by anyone.
-
Advanced defensive metrics are measured against the average too. Should we toss them too?
-
The 2024-2025 Red Sox aren't leading the planet in errors because of their superior range, that's for sure.
-
This is a dumb argument. Making errors on basic plays is still bad, always has been and always will be. Range is a totally separate thing. And getting charged with an error on a really tough play is a mistake by the scorer. This is all Captain Obvious material.
-
Sure, but if there are fewer errors charged now, it just means making errors is even worse now.
-
So what? Balls and strikes and out and safe are opinions too.
-
To say that errors are just opinion is oversimplifying IMO. Most of them are obvious, and the bad calls should even out. And they do review the calls and change some of them.

Video: Is Alex Cora On the Hot Seat? Should He Be?
Bellhorn04 replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Talk Sox Front Page News
Yes and yes. But I think it's extremely unlikely he gets fired in-season. And it's way too early. -
I'd like to see some data on that.
-
But the Red Sox having the most errors and worst fielding pct. in MLB is probably not a good thing. Range metrics are obviously very important, but the impact of muffing simple plays (for a major leaguer) shouldn't be dismissed either, IMHO .
-
Could be. One thing we know for sure: Grissom wasn't much of a get!
-
You do have to wonder if the Driveline hitting philosophy even acknowledges there's such a thing as "situational hitting" or if they think every at-bat should be treated the same.
-
Not that it matters at this point, but if Sale hadn't been traded and if he pitched as well for the Sox as he did for the Braves, he'd be with us this year because of the vesting option in his contract.
-
I don't think he's very safe, honestly. The FO has to be pretty unhappy with a 22-24 mark especially with Crochet and Bregman both living up to their contracts. They're being patient outwardly but I don't think for much longer. As a bench guy Story will still get to play some because of his D and his ability to hit lefties.
-
Story and Yoshida - great job, Bloom. Sale for Grissom - great job, Breslow.
-
The Masa thing is total weirdness. If the Sox keep up this crappy play a little longer I think they bring up Mayer and Story goes to the bench. They have to do something, even if it's just to appease us fans.
-
It's an amazingly awkward roster situation, with the contracts certainly playing into it.
-
Trevor is definitely doing his part to make the picture clearer.
-
Since you're the one who's claiming Cora was forced on Dombrowski by ownership, a claim I'm pretty sure nobody here has heard before, I think it's incumbent on you to provide some evidence of exactly where you're getting this information from.

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II
Bellhorn04 replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
That's sort of a problem with OPS - differences tend to look smaller. .757 is about 9% higher than .696. Over the course of 162 games that's significant. Managers are supposed to play the percentages. -
What's with the blame stuff? LOL good one.
