Long live Pablo!
-
Marrero has been optioned to bring up another arm, Velazquez, I believe. I guess Velazquez so he can piggy back off of Johnson if needed.
-
Perhaps not this year if the FO doesn't think the team has what it takes, but there is an impetus to win a title within the 3 year window, IMO. If the FO thinks that the team is one piece away, Dombrowski will pull the trigger.
-
I do not disagree with any of this. I have confidence in Mookie to know what he has to do.
-
That's all I'm saying. He needs to be given the chance to play regularly for at least a couple of weeks. I'd give him more time than that. If he's not getting it done at that time, then bench or DFA him. It is doing the team no good to put him in for a game and have him sit for 3.

Keep the good vibes going tonight boys! Win!!!

Hey, at least the Sox won both games. I can tolerate being tired if our team wins. That said, a quick game tonight would be nice. I read that Johnson is one of the quickest working pitchers, but Hellickson is one of the slowest.
-
Nice start for Price. Let's keep it going! 6 pitches
-
That's interesting. It sounds like you start about a week, maybe 2 earlier than we do, but you get out a full month earlier than we do.
-
One pitch, one out. Nice.
-
Don't they start back to school like the first week of August though?
-
And yay Pedroia!
-
I am Pablo's biggest supporter, but I have to admit that even I questioned Farrell's decision to bring Pablo in to pinch hit, then especially questioned the decision to leave him in on defense. Farrell had a reasonable explanation, however, and as it turned out, it worked. There is a method to his apparent madness.

Take down the hapless Phils, Part II. Win!!!

The schools in my area are having graduations this week.

Hanley definitely needs to become less pull happy. And of course after I posted that, he launches one over the monster. As far as Betts is concerned, I don't like to see any batter trying to pull pitches when he should be trying to go the other way. That usually tends not to work. He has to hit the ball where he is pitched.
-
I'm talking about the importance of building a farm handbook. And yes, I know that Theo is not the first one to have this philosophy.
-
He worked hard this past offseason and came into camp in very good shape. He deserves a fair chance this season, sort of a new lease on his baseball life. The small sample that he had before the injury this year and the small sample since the injury is not a fair chance.
-
Agreed. Good post Thunder.
-
Why is there an insinuation that stat geeks are not having fun with and enjoying baseball? Also, calculus is amazingly fun. IMO, the baseball ops people are hiring more and more advance stat people because they are looking for any kind of edge. Baseball ops are the ones that are driving the sabermetric revolution.
-
My father is about as old school as it gets. Talking to him about advanced metrics is like talking to a brick wall, and I say that with the utmost respect and love to my father. Therefore, I would have to discount your theory.
-
I agree with you Moon.
-
Personally, I find most of the 'old schoolers' to be far more condescending.
-
There is no right or wrong way to enjoy baseball or to enjoy stats. However, IMO, there is a wrong way to evaluate players. For instance, someone claiming that King Felix didn't deserve the Cy Young Award in 2010 because he only had 13 wins against 12 losses would be wrong.
