    Agree on the defense in terms or DRS, which has been consistently bad for him.

    It's uncanny. Last year, everything that Cora did worked out well. This year, it seems like nothing works. Except for Marco Hernandez pinch hitting.

    Good post Jacko. Eck has repeatedly said more or less the same thing on the telecast. He points out that most pitchers are not likely to verbalize that they prefer one catcher over another, but most of them do.

    You don't have to convince me. I have always said that whatever offense a catcher gives us is gravy. If Leon can get a starter to lower his ERA by 1 or 2 runs, then by all means, keep him in the game. Let the rest of the line up carry the offense.

    Agreed. We do not need to add a bat. We just need the bats that we have to do their thing more consistently. As Cora points out, they need to be able to tack on runs like they did last year.

    What a nice play to end last night's game!

    I think it has a lot to do with Hembree just being reinstated from the IL. That's a tough situation to throw someone into when he hasn't pitched for a while. Sadly, Workman, like Ottavino, is an implosion waiting to happen. He is far out pitching his peripherals.

    Thank you for this post. Through 86 games, which does not include last night's game, the Sox starters have thrown 49.2 fewer innings than they did at the same point last season. Also, their collective ERA is up 0.85. The 2019 BP has thrown 54.2 more innings than they did at the same point last year. (Stats courtesy of Boston Sports Info) Like you, I agree with everyone that the pen needs some help. However, the root of the problem is with the starting rotation. The failure on the starters' parts has a huge trickle down effect on the relievers. You just can't expect your pen to throw that many innings without having a negative impact, especially when the pen was built on the premise that the rotation would be a strong one.

    I knew that Remdawg has a book out. I did not know about Speier's. Thanks for the heads up.
  11. Kimmi
    I really don't get all the dislike for Speier. I think he's awesome. One of the better writers for the Red Sox.
  12. Kimmi
    That was probably the best part of the night.
  13. Kimmi
    Maybe we could get Bobby Valentine to whip this team into shape.

    A voice of reason.

    Sanity is a hard cross to bear, but somebody has to do it!

    I am not one who wanted to re-sign Kimbrel for a large amount, but I watched the end of that game last night, and to be fair to Kimbrel, he was let down by his defense. Not that he pitched great, but with better defense he could have gotten out of the inning with no damage.

    Red Sox Notes‏ @SoxNotes 2 In 2018, the Red Sox opened July with an 11-1 loss at Yankee Stadium and fell to 2nd place in the AL East. They won their next 10 games and went 32-7 from July 2-August 18. ^^That's what I'm talking about.

    'Repeatable skill' is about year to year correlation. Some skills have a high year to year correlation, meaning they are repeatable. Others, like clutch, have none, meaning they are random.

    Quit making stuff up. No one has ever said anything close to this. But stats do rule!
  20. Kimmi
    Et tu, Moon? Follow the light, my friend, follow the light.
  21. Kimmi
    I agree with you on the high fiving. There is nothing wrong with showing your teammates a little support and encouragement.

    ^^Stat geek.

    You hate to give up a much better bat to have Leon catching, but the difference in performance between Sale pitching to Leon versus Sale pitching to Vazquez is pretty significant. Same with Porcello. The question becomes whether the team is better off with Vaz's offense or Leon's defense. I would go with the latter. That said, Vazquez is not to be blamed for Sale's performances. Sale, being the ace that he supposedly is, should be able to pitch well to any catcher. It's not like Vaz is a defensive slouch.

    You guys are killing me.

    I am not so much concerned with the players getting injured, though that is always a possibility, as I am with the players just getting some much needed time off. The ASG usually requires extra travel and a lot of fanfare, which seems like it would be exhausting. I have no problem with letting the fans vote for the players they want to see play, but call it a "Fan Favorite Game" or something along those lines. IMO, and All Star Game should have this season's to date best players.
