    The point is you keep making a huge deal out of Cora being a mediocre middle infielder as a player.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Unlike one-time ace Terry Francona, right? Maybe you hated him too
  3. Bellhorn04
    Lawson = Satan.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Never too early to give up, huh?
  5. Bellhorn04
    The only way they can go on a run is if one or two starters besides Crochet really step up. It doesn't look good. Houck being terrible and then injured wasn't really in the plans for this year. We needed a lot to go right, and only a little has.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Most of the damage came off starter Anderson, no?
  7. Bellhorn04
    Right, I guess he just got the 1 blown save and the loss. He did blow 2 leads...
  8. Bellhorn04
    See, that kind of save should come with a smiley face attached to it like an asterisk.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I believe a fellow named Schiraldi once had 2 blown saves in the same game.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Seems obvious there's something horribly wrong with the hitting approach. Have I mentioned the Dillon Lawson hiring recently?
  11. Bellhorn04
    At least that one is amusing.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I'm pretty sure the data shows that runners on 1st and 2nd and no outs is the only situation where a successful bunt increases the total expected runs scored. Which is a completely separate thing from the question of bunting to increase the chances of scoring one run.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I believe the other ones had sound reasoning too. I checked out a couple of Bello's and understood them. Unfortunately part of that reasoning is a simple lack of trust in starters other than Crochet.
  14. Bellhorn04
    OK, fWAR may not be the ideal number, but none of these guys have been especially good. Dobbins has been the one pleasant surprise. There may be hope for Fitts if he can stay on the field. You'd have to go through the game logs to see if there were instances of a guy truly cruising when Cora pulled him. The third time through the order analytics stuff plays into it too of course.
  15. Bellhorn04
    None of the other starters have been very good at all. fWAR Dobbins 0.8 Newcomb (gone) 0.7 Giolito 0.2 Fitts 0.2 Buehler 0.2 Bello 0.0
  16. Bellhorn04
    Sometimes W-L records do catch your eye. This poor Senzatela dude on the Rockies is 1-10.
  17. Bellhorn04
    4.2 is a popular time to pull guys now because of the combo of the 3rd time through the order thing and the "last out of the inning" exception to the 3 batter rule.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Communist system, capitalist pay checks.
  19. Bellhorn04
    It's the LOOGY factor. The LOOGY still exists in spite of the 3 batter rule, because if you bring your lefty in with 2 outs and he gets the out, the 3 batter rule is nullified. Cora has done the 4.2 inning LOOGY move a few times this year including in that Giolito start.
  20. Bellhorn04
    And that's a very good example.
  21. Bellhorn04
    The big question is whether the good series Story just had means anything. Did he make a little tweak in his mechanics that paid off? I'll wait for mvp's Captain Nemo report on the pitches Story hit.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Cora is loyal but if Story can't hit any more the decision of playing him or not could easily be taken out of Alex's hands. Cora has a lot more say than any of us, that's for sure. 🙂
  23. Bellhorn04
    Crochet leads MLB in innings pitched. He pitched 146 innings last year, 13 in 2023 and 0 in 2022. Keeping him healthy is arguably the team's most important job.
  24. Bellhorn04
    And if our old friend Ben insists on Anthony leading the package?
  25. Bellhorn04
    As for Crochet's pitch counts, this isn't going to make anyone feel any better, but I've read about them having schedules for the max number of pitches thrown over a stretch of 3 starts, not just max counts for one game.
