    What if Travis simply can't hit any more though? His current 2021 BA is .188. It might not be long before fans want to see him about as much as they want to see Cordero...

    With every passing day, future-thinking is looking better than present-thinking...

    Although that line would be good for a few laughs, if Bloom was grinning and Henry was sitting there ashen-faced beside him.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Well, if you're a glass half-full guy, we still have all 4 of those dudes.

    Yesterday we got 2 good performances from our starting pitchers, and in spite of that we got our asses kicked.
  6. Bellhorn04
    But what deals did we miss out on by not being willing to take on salary? It's a rhetorical question, because I don't think anyone knows, and I'm pretty sure Bloom won't be spouting off about it any time soon.

    Today is another day, my friend. (Which may end in another nightmare, if we don't f'king win LOL)

    You're 110% right on that. It was not a real option.

    The only question is whether the lux tax had much to do with the deadline inactivity. Who could we have acquired by spending at the deadline? I don't know.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Well, the in-between approach is not looking too sharp right now, that's for sure.
  11. Bellhorn04
    I'm with you on the first sarcastic paragraph, not so much the second.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Of course. But Vaz has good catcher skills according to the metrics. If Sandy Leon's superior CERA was of as much value as you're suggesting, why is he a goner and Vaz still here? Does it mean the Red Sox are clueless about CERA value?
  13. Bellhorn04
    No ya don't.
  14. Bellhorn04
    I'd like to hear more about this, of course.

    Because you just used the identical argument I did about Kershaw: "the variances are too large to be chalked up to other factors". You shot that argument down with computer generated random samples.

    But no one has ever argued that clutch is based on a player's physical skill or ability. So if this is all 'clutch is not a repeatable skill' means, it's merely stating the obvious, and therefore tells us nothing. I think we all would agree that being an MLB pitcher or hitter involves a whole package of skills, some of them physical and some of them mental. The mental ones are obviously much more difficult to measure, but the fact they're difficult to measure obviously doesn't mean they don't exist.

    When the closing bell rang on deadline day, July 30, the Red Sox were 8.5 games ahead of the Yankees. Less than 3 weeks later they're tied.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Yes.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Jimy's press conferences were the best. He answered most questions about an upcoming game this way: "We'll go play."
  20. Bellhorn04
    No, Dick Williams would be a popular choice. His record after leaving the Red Sox adds plenty of validation. He sure was an ornery cuss though LOL
  21. Bellhorn04
    See, that's unfair, because I've been attempting to seek out large samples. The funny thing is that no one has said anything about the opening post numbers at all. But once you start talking about postseason numbers, the fur flies LOL
  22. Bellhorn04
    I think so too.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I know you meant Farrell. I was just trying to be comprehensive.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Ha, this is like the clutch-choke argument in reverse.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I hear what you're saying, but last time out, Cora sent Houck out in the 6th to face the Rays' lineup the third time and they went single, homer, double. In today's game we had a 1 run lead, all our late inning guys ready to go. In my opinion it was clearly the correct move.
