    Pardon?
  2. Bellhorn04
    OK. My answer would be that the sac fly was clutch and Schourek was clutch.
  3. Bellhorn04
    I understand believing that. But it's speculation. I think Kimmi settles for a 50/50 on that one. By the same token, we know that DD wasn't hired to penny-pinch and future-build, so why does he get raked for what he did?
  4. Bellhorn04
    High and low leverage are defined, that's why I thought they might be useful.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Music.
  6. Bellhorn04
    It did seem like a good idea at the time. I only mention it again in the context of the silly 'Ben couldn't spend, but DD could spend as much as he wanted' argument.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Personally I don't blame him. Just about everything he says gets used against him. How many times have we heard about how he reversed his position on the 'no pitchers over 30' thing? I think I read about it again here today!
  8. Bellhorn04
    Isolated examples. I tried to present some objective large sample data in the opening post.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Must we say it again? Cherington spent 350 million on Porcello, Hanley, Pablo and Rusney. He also signed the Pedroia extension. All those things impacted 2018 and 2019 too. And I think there's a possibility that the decision makers who replaced DD in Detroit did a lousy job. It's been a long time now.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Yes he is. Dodgers went all in for sure. Personally I'm rather tickled they're 5 games behind the Giants.
  11. Bellhorn04
    It was just an enticing rumor.
  12. Bellhorn04
    The Dodgers blew away anyone else's possible offers. They also got Trea Turner, of course.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I thought we agreed that had to be fiction. Of course, it's hypothetically possible they said if you can get Scherzer we'll go over, otherwise no.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Hitters are more patient and managers are more hook-happy. I'd like to see these numbers for the Rays.
  15. Bellhorn04
    mvp seems to think we should have been one or the other - serious buyers, or sellers. Not the wishy-washy in-between thing we sort of did.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Dombrowski has 2 rings and I'm guessing he's fairly comfortable financially. Not the worst.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Wild Card Game, after Red Sox/Yankees/Jays tiebreaker madness.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Pivetta, Whitlock, Kike, Renfroe...
  19. Bellhorn04
    Sure he did. Right now it feels like his acquisitions are quite a mixed bag, made up of tasty nuggets and nasty junk.
  20. Bellhorn04
    When you're the Red Sox, house money doesn't last long. If the team ends up 85-77 and out of even a play-in game, the final verdict is 3 consecutive s***** seasons.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Hmmm, sounds a little like the clutch/choke thing to me. Purely intangible, anecdotal and unprovable, but accepted as real.
  22. Bellhorn04
    OK but when you're Chaim Bloom, your forte is supposed to be finding the undervalued players.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Exactly. Big picture.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Baseball is a game that produces a lot of erratic variations. There are great players who had terrible seasons. I'm not arguing that clutch or choke is something pure and undiluted by any means. But maybe, just maybe Schilling and Ortiz had a little bit more of that quality of mental fortitude or whatever it is that made them very comfortable in big situations. Obviously that doesn't mean you're going to come through every time, because it's impossible.
  25. Bellhorn04
    No. The argument is that postseason is higher leverage.
