    Yeah, I know there's much sense in what you're saying. I'm just appalled at how this team has suddenly come to be so K-happy.

    Sox lead the majors in Ks now. Fatse and Lawson must go!
  3. Bellhorn04
    We're Number One! In Ks now. The front office has to see that our offensive approach is horrible.
  4. Bellhorn04
    What the Sox have seems to be the old "feast or famine" offense.

    I actually think the minimum QS line means more now than it once did, because with the average start being less than 6 innings, 6 innings and 3 runs is a bullpen saver over the long haul.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Well, I like that he has still has some pop.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Fitts has been a textbook 4-5 guy so far.

    I bet a little on football, mostly just point spreads. I look at it as an entertainment expense because I know over the long run I'm going to lose. It's basically like flipping coins, but when you win you get 14 dollars and when you lose they get 15 dollars, that kind of thing. It's a government gambling service - so, like I say, Idiot Tax.

    I don't really understand where all the new money keeps coming from. You always have to follow the money, right? Obviously there are some huge regional cable deals, but MLB just lost its contract with ESPN. A lot of it is advertising. It's all over the parks now and even on the darn uniforms. Another big chunk that guys like Rob Manfred and Roger Goodell don't really like to talk about is gambling. There's a sucker born every minute and a lot of them are into sports. It's just like collecting tax. A steady stream of revenue. Idiot Tax.

    How many victory laps you planning to take? 🙃

    You're not crazy, but Vlad getting $500 million is. Good for the Jays ownership for the investment in the team, though.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Right. So not picking on Denny here, but 'split doubleheader' in MLB terms is a redundancy, because they're all split. They always have to let one crowd out and the next one in.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Cora says that from now on whenever Rafaela sits, Campbell will be in center (Duran in left).
  14. Bellhorn04
    Which raises a question: is there any such thing as a two games for one admission doubleheader any more?
  15. Bellhorn04
    If it comes to it I think they will. I'm feeling pretty Polly on Breslow these days.
  16. Bellhorn04
    My main beef there was about the lopsided allocation of resources. But the other beef is that I don't think Bloom realized that Yoshida was only suited to be a DH. That has turned out to be a grievous miscalculation. We all have our guesses about why Bloom was let go. You think it was mostly the deadline indecision/inactivity. I tend to think the Yoshida signing also played a part in it.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Since 2/3 of his ABs were at DH in 2023, I don't see it as unfair to refer to him as a DH. Yoshida should have been the DH, but Bloom had him miscast as an outfielder.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I would argue that talent-wise, the 1978 team was the best Red Sox team I ever saw.
  19. Bellhorn04
    It's great that we're back to .500. But after Crochet the rotation is looking a bit shaky. It's pretty important that guys like Houck and/or Buehler/Fitts/Bello/Giolito contribute. You're not going to win a lot of games 13-9.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Nice start, lads.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Story Land is not closed.
  22. Bellhorn04
    And in your math world, Story has already played 4 seasons for the Red Sox even though there are 155 games left.
  23. Bellhorn04
    The thing I can't forgive Bloom for was spending a ton of money on 2 DHs, Yoshida and Turner, while only spending $10 million on the rotation. The fact that Kluber turned out to be totally cooked was the icing on that cake.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Except Ellsbury's contract was 7 years and Story's 4th year just started. Aside from that, great math work.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Nope, nothing can make Ellsbury's contract look like a bargain.
