    He sure as hell isn't hitting "a ton of line drives" as you suggested. Does it really matter how much below average he's been?
  2. Standing Room
    DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH!
  3. Standing Room
    Jim Johnson's blown back-to-back save opportunities by allowing 5 ER to the Rays in the 9th. Rays still only have one out with two men in scoring position. Johnson's already been replaced.
  4. Standing Room
    Jim Johnson just blew his second save in as many chances.
  5. Standing Room
    Good to see Ells square up the ball.
  6. Standing Room
    When it comes to line drive rate, 2% is a huge difference.

    Time to pick up Demster, he’s had some terrible luck and some terrible defense behind him. He’s allowed 3 ER or less in all but one start. And in the one start in which he allowed more than three ER, it was only do to an field pop up that was up in the air a long time fell without anyone touching it.

    Gomes' BABIP should be higher, but his line drive rate is 17.3% which is well below average.

    Hey, I'll be rooting for you guys. I'm pretty sure one thing both Americans and Scots have in common is that they root for the little guy. When is this final being played though? If you give the local time, I could translate.

    Napoli would do just fine as a cleanup hitter. His .829 OPS would rank 11th out of 20 players with 100 PA as a leadoff hitter and he's leading all major league hitters in pitches/PA. He's not a world beater, but he's an old school Red Sox offense grinder.
  11. Standing Room
    Love Gomes batting second. He's tied with Joey Votto for the highest walk rate in baseball (17.8%), he's 12th in the AL with 4.16 pitches/PA and he's yet to ground in to a double play.

    Lavarnway starting again, I liked his approach in his last game.
  13. Standing Room
    That's pretty cool, thanks for the link. If indeed the draft does go Appel, Gray, Bryant, Frazier, Moran and Meadows the Sox would still do pretty well to pick up Shipley. It would be really surprising if Denney falls to the Yankees, does he have signability issues? Kamiskey seems like a bit of a gamble that high, I've seen him going 15-20 spots later. Anderson seems about right. Austin Wilson would also be an interesting guy in the Yankees range. He's got some minor health issues but the main reason he'll fall in the draft is because he plays for Stanford.

    Buchholz goes seven innings for the eight time this year and a gutsy bunt call by Farrell results in the winning run. Victorino and Napoli got full days off as well. Good game all around.
  15. Standing Room
    Moran is the only player I've seen going to the Red Sox in more than one recent mock draft. Assuming Appel, Gray and Bryant are off the board, the only players left that really excite me are Frasier, Meadows and Shipley. Not a whole lot of quality talent this year.
  16. Standing Room
    De La Rosa hasn't allowed a run in his last 18 innings of work to lower his ERA 10 points. His line on the year is now: 24.2 IP, 3.65 ERA, 1.216 WHIP, 5.8 H/9, 5.1 BB/9, 10.6 K/9 Hopefully, between him, Webster (and maybe Ranaudo) we'll have some quality rotation depth in the second half.

    Both Boston teams pick up a game on New York teams tonight. Brutal strike zone from Joe West tonight. Ever since Doubront stepped towards the dugout in the first inning on a pitch called a ball, West's strike zone got really small. He's such an unprofessional hack. brooksbaseball.net/pfxVB/location.php?pitchSel=467094&game=gid_2013_05_16_bosmlb_tbamlb_1/&batterX=&innings=yyyyyyyyy&sp_type=1&s_type=

    Look at the spray chart that was behind the first link I posted. In Fenway last year, Middlebrooks got more outfield hits to right field than he did to left field. No one's trying to make him in to a hitter that sprays the ball all over the field, it's what he's always been.
  19. Standing Room
    I don't mean to be argumentative, but Will Middlebrooks is not a deal pull hitter. yfrog.com/kk52sg:iphone Looking at his hot zone chart, it looks like he's hit near .400 on pitches middle-away over the last two seasons. espn.go.com/mlb/player/hotzones/_/id/31232/will-middlebrooks

    Really encouraging to see WMB get multiple extra base hits to the opposite field tonight. It would be huge for our offense is he turned it around.
  21. Standing Room
    Let's score some runs, it would suck of that catwalk pop up was the difference in the game. Can a team petition a game on the grounds that the "ballpark" is a dump?
  22. Standing Room
    The Red Sox have pitched better than the Yankees in May as well, the Yankees have just been a lot luckier. Red Sox - 3.60 xFIP, .318 BABIP, 15.4 HR/FB Yankees - 3.86 xFIP, .240 BABIP, 9.5 HR/FB That .240 BABIP is the lowest of any MLB team this month. The Yankees have also stranded a league high 85.2% of baserunners.
  23. Standing Room
    No disrespect to the Yankees, but they haven't performed like a team that should be ahead of the Red Sox in the standings. Red Sox - .341 wOBA, Yankees - .323 wOBA Red Sox - 3.52 xFIP, Yankees - 3.70 xFIP Red Sox - 9.4 UZR, Yankees - 4.7 UZR The Yankees offense will pick up when they get some of their hitters back, but that will just put them roughly on par with the Red Sox. The disparity on defense will only get greater as the Yankees get players like Granderson, Jeter and A-Rod back. As long as the Red Sox continue to outpitch the Yankees, it will eventually show in the standings.

    That was the biggest Bruins comeback in my lifetime as a fan.
