    On the topic of Bello, what would make him pitch so poorly as a starter, but pitch very well following a 1-inning opener? Is it really that much more challenging to get through the top of the lineup at the beginning of the game? Is it all mental?

    IMO, we should be a middle of the pack offense, at worst, not one of the bottom 2 or 3. With elite pitching, that should have been good enough. I was one who preferred that we added another starter over adding another bat. All that said, I understand the point of view of those who wanted to add a big bat.

    We have the pitching and the defense to be a very competitive team. Our offense is currently pretty unwatchable, but I can't believe they're as bad as what they've shown. I'm as frustrated as anyone else with this team right now, but there's a lot of baseball left to be played. As we've seen many, many times, things can look a lot different in one week, much less 4+ months.

    Personally, I'm a big fan of nerds, baseball and otherwise.

    Even though things look really bad offensively, I didn't think we needed another bat. We need the guys we have to get on base like they are capable of getting on base, namely Durbin and Duran, and to a lesser extent Anthony, even though he's on the IL right now. Case in point: Milwaukee Brewers Last in HRs, 28th in slugging, 3rd in OBP, 4th in baserunning (BsR), 8th in runs scored.

    I miss the old Red Sox line ups that knew how to work counts and would often have the starting pitcher out of the game in the 5th inning (when starters were regularly going 7 innings.) Not only are we not getting on base, we're not making the opposing pitchers work, especially in the first inning. We are 27th in pitches/plate appearance.

    Although having a lot of LOBs is extremely frustrating, it's typically a sign of good offensive production. Teams that score a lot of runs will typically also have a lot of LOBs.

    LOL Ouch. To be fair, the Red Sox have been a very good defensive team this year. Very good.

    IMO, hitters are too pull happy, especially with sinkers. They too often end up grounding out.
  22. Kimmi
    OBP remains the single stat with the strongest correlation to runs scored. You score the most runs by not making outs.
  23. Kimmi
    I can't really argue with any of that. Still, despite being a strong proponent of defense, I would have left Devers at 3B and put Bregman at 2B. Call me crazy. That said, Devers should have been taking reps at 1B all along. Perhaps he would have been more inclined to move to 1B once Casas was injured if the Red Sox had initially sold him on the idea that he was our #2 first baseman on the depth chart.

    Bright side: There's nowhere to go but up!

    I know I've posted this before, and I know how bad Mayer has been against lefties, but I don't think he should be platooned. He's not going to improve against lefties unless he gets the at bats against them. (In a very small sample, he has good numbers against LHP so far this year.) Anthony has been most disappointing this year.
  26. Kimmi
    Amen, brother Joe, amen.

    No doubt it probably would have been bad. But the middle infield defense (namely 2nd base) would have been much better than what we had.
