    Price pretty much did that his entire first season with the Red Sox. While he was pretty good, he was also not the ace that we were all expecting, and he took a lot of criticism for it. He made no excuses. He simply said that he didn't execute and that he would have to do better next time.

    I am absolutely in with this. Joe Kelly is the man.
  3. Kimmi
    I agree with you. And I'm a big Vaz fan. Varitek would have been all over that.

    Kelly is my new favorite Red Sox reliever. Good on him.

    Kudos to Thunder for the 9 game win streak mojo. No time like tonight for the Red Sox to start another win streak. Let's go!

    Cora said that he has his players off days mapped out like 4 games in advance. This was Beni's off day and Cora isn't deviating from his plan, for now. Maybe later in the season.

    IMO, the aggressive approach is making the biggest impact with our hitters so far, not letting those middle-middle pitches go by and getting into a pitcher's count. Being healthy has played a big part too. Plus good old plain regression.

    It's still not that black and white. If it's winning a WS this year with Hanley playing a large part in that, then I'd gladly take Hanley over either Kimbrel or Pomeranz. I think regardless, I'd take Hanley over Kimbrel based on my feelings about not giving large contracts to relievers. Hanley over Pomeranz would be a little tougher, but if we didn't re-sign Kimbrel, we should be able to re-sign Pom.

    Keep it going boys! Win!
  10. Kimmi
    Umm, no.
  11. Kimmi
    LOL Nope. I love the randomness. It's what makes the sport so beautiful.
  12. Kimmi
    No, just no.

    Relief pitchers are the easiest pieces on the team to replace.
  14. Kimmi
    This is true. Even if Hanley's option doesn't vest, I would not want to spend that money on Kimbrel. There are better ways to spend that money than on a relief pitcher.
  15. Kimmi
    First off, it's not as simple as having one over the other. Secondly, whether I'd want Kimbrel over Hanley depends. I would take last year's Kimbrel over last year's Hanley, but I would take the 2016 Hanley over the 2016 Kimbrel. I don't think it's a cut and dry answer.

    All right Red Sox, no messing around. Get it done. Win!
  17. Kimmi
    Ummm, no.

    This is a topic that has been statistically studied and proven by the stat geeks.

    If you recall, we were one of the worst teams at swinging at pitches that were middle-middle. Here are some early numbers on that stat so far this year, courtesy of Red Sox Stats ‏ @redsoxstats 32m32 minutes ago Percent of middle-middle pitched swung at

    Good stuff.
  21. Kimmi
    Not re-signing Kimbral will free up much of the money if Hanley's option vests. And Hanley's option is only for one year. It's not going to make or break the team.
  22. Kimmi
    Yes, you did.
  23. Kimmi
    The things that I have stated as fact, are indeed fact.
  24. Kimmi
    Thank you.
  25. Kimmi
    It's not just a matter of cherry picked stats though.
