The things that keep me awake at night Nick..
-
Don't get me started on the word 'two'!
-
Ervin Santana is no Chris Sale. We cannot let another Sale start go for naught. Score some freakin' runs for Sale and get him the WIN!

Well now you're just being silly again. Although the game i

I wouldn't blame the minor league coaches for that either. That is just a brain cramp on the pitcher's part.
-
LOL Not really since Cla was brought up a few posts back, which reminded me about that. While on the topic of words/pronuncations that sit well with me: dough, cough, through, bough, rough All end in 'ough', all pronounced differently. What's up with that?

Umm, I just said that your post was spot on, which means you can't be wrong... Sure, players spend time drilling and practicing the fundamentals. The point still stands that by the time they are major league players, they should be fundamentally sound. Being fundamentally sound at a skill does not mean that you no longer practice that skill. If anyone is to be blamed for the players' lack of fundamentals, it would be the minor league coaching staffs, not Farrell.

I do recall Farrell being much more aggressive with his base running philosophy a few years back. I also remember that there was some criticism of that aggressiveness. There were times when the team lived by that aggressiveness, but also times when the team died by it. The bottom line is that those decisions are dictated by the game situation, including the who the opposing defense is. In other words, a team can't be running just for the sake of being aggressive. I have not watched much of the DBacks this year, but Lovullo seems to be doing a good job.
-
Is there anyone else, besides me, who is bothered by the spelling, or perhaps the pronunciation, of 'Cla' in Cla Meredith's name? LOL
-
Unless Farrell realizes that there is no such thing.
-
If we signed him, I'm sure I would find a way to root for him. But I honestly hope we never do.
-
S5, this is why we have UZR and DRS. These stats measure these exact things that you're talking about in terms of Bradley's defense. Come over to the dark side, my friend.
-
One player that I will never count out is Pedroia. Papi was another one, but alas, he's retired.
-
That's fair that the definition of 'significant' might be arbitrary to posters here. In terms of when stats begin to stabilize, the sample sizes are not arbitrary, which is what I was referring to.

Pablo is resuming baseball activities!!!
-
I used to enjoy watching him play when he wasn't playing agains us. After this season, I can't stand the guy. I would rather stink at 3B than have him on the Red Sox.
-
The absence of Papi is not the problem.
-
Matthew Kory had a very good article yesterday about team depth and overvaluing relief pitching. I can't post the link right now because I'm on my tablet and I have no idea how to copy and paste on this thing. LOL Recommended reading for all. Anyway, it points out Dombrowski's failure address the depth at 3B.
-
If we somehow blow this game, I may have to quit baseball permanently.
-
Take your best hitter out of the 3 hole and see what happens?
-
For all you stat loving people out there, the Sox rank dead last in the majors in BsR or baserunning runs. The team's BsR is -9.4. In contrast, the DBacks are the best with +11.6. That said, the statement that Farrell's teams have always been bad base running teams is false.
-
I can agree with that.
-
I'm with you all the way bro.
-
Spot on post. Farrell does share part of the blame/responsibility for how our team is playing, but the majority of this poor play falls on the players' shoulders.
-
It's so nice to see a crooked number put up early in the game!
