    Could be. One thing we know for sure: Grissom wasn't much of a get!
  2. Bellhorn04
    You do have to wonder if the Driveline hitting philosophy even acknowledges there's such a thing as "situational hitting" or if they think every at-bat should be treated the same.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Not that it matters at this point, but if Sale hadn't been traded and if he pitched as well for the Sox as he did for the Braves, he'd be with us this year because of the vesting option in his contract.
  4. Bellhorn04
    I don't think he's very safe, honestly. The FO has to be pretty unhappy with a 22-24 mark especially with Crochet and Bregman both living up to their contracts. They're being patient outwardly but I don't think for much longer. As a bench guy Story will still get to play some because of his D and his ability to hit lefties.

    Story and Yoshida - great job, Bloom. Sale for Grissom - great job, Breslow.
  6. Bellhorn04
    The Masa thing is total weirdness. If the Sox keep up this crappy play a little longer I think they bring up Mayer and Story goes to the bench. They have to do something, even if it's just to appease us fans.
  7. Bellhorn04
    It's an amazingly awkward roster situation, with the contracts certainly playing into it.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Trevor is definitely doing his part to make the picture clearer.

    Since you're the one who's claiming Cora was forced on Dombrowski by ownership, a claim I'm pretty sure nobody here has heard before, I think it's incumbent on you to provide some evidence of exactly where you're getting this information from.

    Next winter be too late! 🙂

    That's sort of a problem with OPS - differences tend to look smaller. .757 is about 9% higher than .696. Over the course of 162 games that's significant. Managers are supposed to play the percentages.
  12. Bellhorn04
    What's with the blame stuff? LOL good one.
  13. Bellhorn04
    The bullpen isn't very good. Someone has to be responsible for that, no?
  14. Bellhorn04
    Many of us thought they needed to do more than they did.
  15. Bellhorn04
    They did some 'addressing' but it certainly appears they didn't do enough.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Why the stark pessimism about Sandoval? Just general pessimism about the way things have been going for us?
  17. Bellhorn04
    Dombrowski hand-picked Cora, so you're gravely mistaken on that point. And first time hearing about that offer from Dombrowski to Betts and some of those other nuggets you disclosed! And the Price-Eckersley episode was in 2017. Can you please check your facts a little?
  18. Bellhorn04
    Sorry to be picky but I don't know what you're saying about Detroit Game 2 at all.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Shout out for the use of 'tantamount'. 🙂
  20. Bellhorn04
    The losses in close games could be nothing but randomness. The last 2 games were incredibly frustrating, but they were only close losses because the team battled back from deficits, which is preferable to getting blitzed like in the first game.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Major league baseball is built for a massive randomness factor.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Of course. The two games are radically different. Brady and Mahomes have won 70-80% of their games. In baseball your ace pitcher is on the mound for you less than 15% of the time.
  23. Bellhorn04
    That's true, but the sample for 2025 is too small to indicate he's much better in inning 1 than inning 2, which is what you're kind of trying to hang Cora for. Obviously it's possible he'll just never that 2021 guy again.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Pretty common for rookies to start hot, then slump as the book gets out on them. Now Campbell has to make his own adjustments.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Thanks. Some interesting research there. However, this does nothing to support the idea that generally speaking you're better to leave the starter in for that third time, because even if the quality of pitches gets better, the stats bear out that the hitters' adapting to the pitches outweighs that factor. To this point in 2025: 3rd time facing hitters by starting pitcher -.757 OPSa 1st time facing hitters by relief pitcher -.696 OPSa
