    Nomar didn't pull any guns either. But that trade was absolutely the right move and worked out pretty good as I recall...
  2. Bellhorn04
    Because the $31 mill can be spent elsewhere now.
  3. Bellhorn04
    a) They're 5th in MLB in runs scored per game. b) Bregman will be back. c) Hopefully Anthony and Mayer will contribute.

    I'm a little surprised at how many are backing Devers. He refused to play first base, he didn't hustle down the line, he's making $31 million a year, he's the good guy?
  5. Bellhorn04
    It's mainly about how the pitching holds up.
  6. Bellhorn04
    The reported eye roll was when Devers didn't run to first.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Looks to me like they did OK, frankly, shedding the whole contract and getting back some pitching and prospects.
  8. Bellhorn04
    I just don't believe this is something the team actually wanted to do. I think Raffy made this happen.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I'm a little surprised by how negative a lot of people are feeling about the team today. They just won 7 out of 9 against the Yankees and Rays.
  10. Bellhorn04
    But Cora's eye roll (which I didn't see but others reported) said differently.
  11. Bellhorn04
    We're all guessing, but it seems possible it may have been a factor in them pulling the trigger on the trade.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I feel no angst about this at all. Raffy really lost me. I know the Sox screwed up some stuff too, but I'm afraid he really proved who was in the wrong with his non-hustle. That was confirmation that there were always going to be issues.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Now this sounds like the truth.
  14. 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.
  16. Bellhorn04
    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.
  17. 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.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I don't think they would have done this unless they thought Devers's attitude had become a serious and insoluble problem.
  19. Bellhorn04
    This tends to suggest that Devers not running out that ground ball did not go over well.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Francona couldn't manage Nomar in 2004.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I think they did what they had to do.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Imagine the stark terror of lefty pitchers now seeing Refsnyder as the leadoff hitter.
  23. 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.
  24. Bellhorn04
    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?
  25. Bellhorn04
    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.
