Interestingly, Barnes only blows on the road. His OPSa at home is .504. Maybe he should only be used for home games.
-
Prophetic, Ex.
-
This year he is.
-
Why is Bogaerts still playing? He is useless.
-
Why not also move Vaz up in the order for home games? I think he leads the league in BA or close to it for home games.
-
Devers is something else....CRUSHED!
-
How much of that execution failure belongs to the manager?
-
I'd like to see him get more hits period. He is at .255/.754 with a WAR of only 2.5 for the year. He has the talent to do better.
-
He was grabbing his back.
-
Not sure if you guys saw this. Price didn't throw again today, for the third day in a row, because of ongoing stiffness in his elbow: Jason Mastrodonato ✔ @jmastrodonato Farrell is "hopeful but realistic" about Price coming back this season. Make what you will of that.
-
Do four straight wins against the Mets count?
-
He has had 68 PAs. Early results are good, but it would be very unusual for a rookie to essentially jump from AA ball on one season and maintain the kind of results Devers has had so far. As someone else here said, its time for the other guys to start producing: Hanley, Bogaerts, JBJ etc.
-
They are FIRST in the AL in ERA (not by much) and first in SP ERA in the league, second in bullpen ERA. They are THIRD in baseball in ERA overall. Good situation to be in. With the Yankee SP rotation devastated as it is now, it would be an embarrassment not to win the ALE.
-
At the very least we now know what we have in Reed...and don't have. He should not pitch beyond the sixth inning until he proves he can do the job. And yes, Farrell totally mismanaged the game.

Debunking the 3 year window myth -- the Red Sox in 2020
FredLynn replied to Fan_since_Boggs's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Rusney Castillo is batting .309/.840 in 335 PAs at Pawtucket. He may yet get another chance. -
So Eckersley doesn't call the games anymore...??

Soon it will be about 80 pages long -
Totally correct. They can see the weather map as well as we can, probably better. Why make the fans wait over two hours before calling it-especially since the Yankees already lost
-
I have no idea what you are talking about. I mean sometimes the forecasters out here are off by as much as three degrees.
-
San Francisco is on the ocean too and the forecasts there are pretty accurate.

FredLynn replied to tombirner's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
OB said last night that Eck would be back in a game or two. -
We should be focused on the fact that we cannot hit the baseball with any regularity-last I checked, 9th in the league in OPS. Thats our weakness-offense. Not sure who is available, but without either an additional bat or an improvement in the performance of the current players I do not see us as being better than either the Yankees or the Royals.
-
Might have won yesterday's game if Bogaerts was a competent SS too. He has been less than stellar defensively this year (dWAR at -.5) and on the basepaths, he has been a disaster. If he didn't make the error yesterday who knows....maybe Barnes doesn't melt down.
-
Yes, those are hard to measure. What is not so hard to measure is OPS, WAR etc. We have a problem offensively, and unless a new infusion of talent at 3B, our major problem, is found, we will need to address it in other ways-and adding Avila would be a very good way to deal with it. Our catchers are both bottom third in most offensive categories. I would trade their unmeasurable defensive stats for more offense in a heartbeat.
-
And getting those factors put together at the right time...ie getting hot during the playoffs.
-
As I recall, his K to BB ratio was so high that his fall from grace could have been predicted by.....well.....a cave man.
