    I'm guessing it would be just like being able to advance to 1B on strike 3 when the ball gets past the catcher, only a batter can do it on any count?
  2. Kimmi
    Haha. Rick likes us. He won't let up down.
  3. Kimmi
    Some of those reliever innings are due to extra innings, but still...

    That's the core of the problem, IMO. If the starters had been performing more to expectations all season long, our pen would look a lot better.
  6. Kimmi
    I am guessing that most people would agree with you about the need to add some of those well known free agent relievers to the pen. I disagree that the performance of the BP has been predictable.
  7. Kimmi
    I don't think it's necessarily wishful thinking. The best relievers often seemingly come out of nowhere. And relievers who were great high leverage arms aren't necessarily great high leverage arms the next year.

    I have nothing against Nunez, who had some big moments for the Sox, and I also had no problem with Dombrowski re-signing him. That said, it was time to part ways. I am surprised that Dombrowski actually let him go, but it was the right thing to do.
  9. Kimmi
    Maybe not directly, but having that 5th starter indirectly helps the BP. That said, I agree that Cashner is not going to do much good if the other rotation guys don't get it together.

    There is absolutely no way that Rick can deny this request. The win is in the bag.
  12. Kimmi
    I agree, it was a bad base running play.
  13. Kimmi
    He has been very good lately. Let's hope he is finally starting to put it all together. I think I've been hoping this for the past 2-3 years. His notorious habit of going from 0-2 to 3-2 is frustrating, to say the least.
  14. Kimmi
    No. Just no.
  15. Kimmi
    I hope to never see him in a Red Sox uniform again. I suppose we should thank Farrell for 'ruining his career'. {sarcasm}
  16. Kimmi
    I cannot disagree with those projections, based on Cashner's peripherals. We just have to hope that his luck holds out through the rest of the season, or at least until Eovaldi is healthy enough to go back to the rotation. At the very least, Cashner should be better than what we've trotted out there every 5th start.
  17. Kimmi
    Completely agree. I don't know what's going on with our starters. It's not just one guy, it's all of them, except for maybe ERod. But while ERod is getting deeper into games, his other numbers have not been as good. Our starting pitching has let us down.
  18. Kimmi
    I don't know. I have a really hard time believing the Sox would allow him to pitch if they knew he was injured, and I have a hard time believing that Sale would continue to go out there and stink if he was injured. I don't think he'd hide an injury. Don't the trainers do strength tests regularly, and wouldn't an injury somehow show up in those strength tests? Now it could be the case where Sale has slightly altered his mechanics, maybe without even realizing it, due to fear of re-injury.
  19. Kimmi
    Our next 7 games are against the Jays and the Orioles. The Sox need to make a statement in those games before heading into the next 14 games, which are against the Yankees and the Rays.
  20. Kimmi
    I always thought Pedroia was a really good base runner based on what I saw in games, and the commentary from the announcers that supported my opinion. I was wrong.
  21. Kimmi
    In other words, you only believe in stats that agree with the opinions you already have. Stats that disagree with your opinion are no good or useless. It doesn't work that way.
  22. Kimmi
    Do you trust the opinions of baseball scouts whose job it is to go around watching different players and write up scouting reports having nothing to do with analytics?
  23. Kimmi
    We also have trained umpires who decide whether something is a ball or a strike. I believe everyone takes the stats that in anyway involve balls or strikes at face value.
  24. Kimmi
    Also, each play is rated by several different scouts, not just by one person. It's a consensus opinion of trained, unbiased (as unbiased as a human can be) scouts. Don't the eye test people believe in scouts? It is scouts who are supplying the data, often times former players or coaches. Don't disregard the scouts' opinions just because their opinions are then put into analytic form. Besides that, there is much more that goes into it besides opinions.
  25. Kimmi
    There is a lot more that goes into it than just someone else's opinion. No, you don't have agree or accept what the metrics say. It's your decision, and you are a very knowledgeable baseball fan capable of making your own decisions. But, I think you are fooling yourself if you believe your biased eyes over the metrics. This is not meant to be a knock on you or anyone else, and I mean that sincerely. I will provide the caveat that defensive metrics need a larger sample size than 1/2 season, but DRS and range factors have repeatedly been unkind to Xander.
