He sounds a lot like Swihart. I'm a big believer in peripherals.
-
Right on cue. I really should be paying you guys rent.
-
Work with me here Bell.
-
I haven't seen as much as many people here either, but I'd have to say 2003 was the best team I've seen.
-
That was one of the best WS ever. Also, the Yankees are the luckiest team ever.
-
That is a very valid question.
-
I have said before that if we win a WS (or 2) in the next couple of years, than all of the trades are definitely worth it. That is the ultimate goal, after all. The problem still remains that nothing is guaranteed, no matter how good the team is.
-
Dixon has very real potential.
-
I prefer both Xander and Devers over Machado, so unless we're getting another significant piece in return, I veto any trade involving either player to get Machado.
-
Yup.
-
Beeks has thrown a total of 6.1 innings in the majors and you're ready to give up on him?
-
I get that. If the rest of our offense weren't as strong as it is, it would be a bigger issue. When you have a strong offense, you can hide a weak bat in the 9 hole.

I read some comments a few days ago from Jackie and also some comments in the game thread regarding how it's easier said than done to go to the opposite field if you're constantly being pounded inside. So, I looked up Jackie's pitch % heat map. It appears that possibly Jackie could try going to right field a little more because he's not being pitched inside as often as he makes it sound. Still easier said than done. Heat Map

For about a month now (since June 13), Jackie has been hitting .253/.329/.453/.783, with a BABIP of .281. I think even Jackie's harshest critics can live with that. Either way, I'm with you. I can live with his 'weak' bat in the #9 hole given the defense he provides.

As we all know, the playoffs are largely a crap shoot. That said, the thing that correlates best with postseason wins is regular season wins, not HFA, not experience, not momentum, etc. It shouldn't be a surprise that the team with the best record in the regular season is more likely to win in the postseason, but even that advantage is very slight.
-
Right. We traded away our potential future for the present.

7/10 Texas Rangers at Fenway

Swihart had a very nice game last night. Good for him. Nice defense from Bogaerts, Bradley, and Betts. The Yankees lost again to the Os. Life is good. -
^^This.
-
Not when you factor in Bobby V.
-
Is that even really a relevant point though? Those predictions are based on what the team looks like on paper. That's the best that the GM can do. We all know that what is on paper doesn't always play out on the field the same way, but you can't really blame the GM for that.
-
Nice work Dojji.

Dombrowski

I beg to differ. I don't think 2013 was any more lucky than most World Series years are in terms of getting the health and the performances that you expect. 2014 and 2015 were indeed incredibly unlucky.

1. Some schmuck out of the 15 listed did pick the Red Sox. 2. Out of the 88 'experts' polled, and I quote: "In the American League East, the Boston Red Sox came out on top by receiving 36 votes followed by the Baltimore Orioles (30), Toronto Blue Jays (17), New York Yankees (4) and Tampa Bay Rays (1)." 3. I looked up the 3 computer projection systems that I always reference. Fangraphs had the Sox winning the division with 88 wins. PECOTA had the Sox winning the division with 87 wins, and Davenport had the Sox and Os tying for the division with 85 wins.

I didn't look any further than that, but I think I'd find more of the same.

Theo was given a really good team to begin with, but so was Dave. For me, there is no way Dave ever gets the bump over Theo.
