    The simple answer is business is #1. But a winning team is generally better for business. More fan interest and extra revenue from playoff games. So there's a connection between the two.

    I need a better definition of the eye test too.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Does the eye test include looking at the box scores? That's all you needed with Crochet and Giolito the last two games.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Well, I think we're overstating JH's loyalty to Cora bit. JH is still a businessman first and foremost.
  5. Bellhorn04
    I'll go with the common sense test, myself. Crochet pitched great, Giolito pitched like crap, pitching wins and losses mean jack, because it's a team game. And you can figure that out just by looking at box scores.

    Great song by Rory Gallagher.

    That's easy to say but not so easy to put into practice, mainly because it's such a team game. Last night Giolito pitched horribly but the team got him off the hook for the loss. So his horrible pitching didn't actually lead to an L. Whereas Crochet's excellent performance in the previous game did lead to an L. So there you have 2 games in a row where the performance and the result didn't match up. And those are just the last 2 games played by our team.

    About six feet under.

    Errors are very reviewable after the fact. The scoring can be changed up to 24 hours after the game is over.
  10. Bellhorn04
    The first number is the only one that matters. Leading to runs is a product of randomness just like everything else that advances baserunners.
  11. Bellhorn04
    I'd like to see some data on that. 😀
  12. Bellhorn04
    All I'm really saying is, errors may be overrated, as has been discussed at length here, but the Red Sox leading in baseball in errors this year, and a close second last year, is still a bad thing.
  13. Bellhorn04
    So you believe the main reason the Red Sox lead baseball in errors is because of range?
  14. Bellhorn04
    Base running errors are also a matter of opinion. Most of those are obvious too.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Or maybe the bullpen pitching is bad and the fielding is bad too. I tend to think both can easily be true. I'm not into reductionism, personally.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Some day we'll have robot scorers too. The fact is, a very high pct. of errors are not disputed by anyone.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Advanced defensive metrics are measured against the average too. Should we toss them too?
  18. Bellhorn04
    The 2024-2025 Red Sox aren't leading the planet in errors because of their superior range, that's for sure.
  19. Bellhorn04
    This is a dumb argument. Making errors on basic plays is still bad, always has been and always will be. Range is a totally separate thing. And getting charged with an error on a really tough play is a mistake by the scorer. This is all Captain Obvious material.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Sure, but if there are fewer errors charged now, it just means making errors is even worse now.
  21. Bellhorn04
    So what? Balls and strikes and out and safe are opinions too.
  22. Bellhorn04
    To say that errors are just opinion is oversimplifying IMO. Most of them are obvious, and the bad calls should even out. And they do review the calls and change some of them.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Yes and yes. But I think it's extremely unlikely he gets fired in-season. And it's way too early.
  24. Bellhorn04
    I'd like to see some data on that.
  25. Bellhorn04
    But the Red Sox having the most errors and worst fielding pct. in MLB is probably not a good thing. Range metrics are obviously very important, but the impact of muffing simple plays (for a major leaguer) shouldn't be dismissed either, IMHO .
