  1. Can't catch up to heat any more, especially when thrown by righties. Definitely seems cooked. Thanks, Chaim.
  2. You trying to say our talent might be a tad overstated?
  3. Do you have anything from sources other than yourself to support your premise that Cora was forced on Dombrowski?
  4. And my point is your point was based solely on errors and fielding pct. I comprehended that just fine.
  5. But they also stink since JH booted Dombrowski and Mookie and decided to start hiring CBOs with no experience and stuff like that. I think the problems started at the top.
  6. You have no interest in learning about how it's calculated, Denny, you just want to crap on it, and that's never going to change, I fully realize that.
  7. Cora is definitely on the hot seat now, but nobody really knows if he's actually the problem. He's in his 7th season with the Sox. Francona only made it through 8, and he won 2 titles and never less than 86 games.
  8. It means the answer to your question about Rafaela's defense offsetting his light hitting is yes. An average WAR for an everyday player over a full season is about 2.0.
  9. That's the kind of question that WAR numbers actually try to answer. Far from perfect but better than nothing.
  10. It's definitely a conundrum how to fit Anthony into the outfield. If you were really desperate to do it and you don't want to trade Duran or Abreu, you could platoon Duran and Rafaela in center and work from there. Rafaela could also get some starts in the IF. Duran could play left when Anthony gets a rest. Then you would need Anthony to make all the juggling worth it.
  11. We are the middest of the mid. We must be setting a record for most days at .500 in a two-season stretch.
  12. Well, we have 2 of the big 3 on the big team now, so we can certainly focus our complaining on Anthony now. 🙃
  13. And we're .500 with Crochet and Chapman pitching great. Doesn't mean we want to try playing without them.
  14. And yet I shudder a bit at the thought of our lineup right now with no Bregman and no Abreu.
  15. To me talent is kind of a fuzzy word when it comes to major league baseball. Talent only proves itself by performance, so performance is what counts. But it does seem like this team is underperforming, and I have expressed my own suspicions that something is amiss in the approaches this organization has been using the last few years.
  16. And you think these are the only fielding numbers that matter?
  17. Great name. The last Sox prospect I said I thought would succeed because he had a great name was Sam Travis.
  18. It's like the baseball gods have been having fun with us the last few years. We can't seem to assemble a roster that doesn't have a lot of missing and/or misfit pieces.
  19. Sunday-Buehler Tuesday-bullpen game?
  20. Long opener. It's a new one.
  21. Yeah, that's more like a moving the deck chairs thing.
  22. We can't really expect perfection, but they're pretty damn close.
  23. The other options are to trade for one, sign one, or try Campbell there, I guess.
