  1. The good news is, the Jays' pitching stinks. Will our offense be able to take advantage of that?
  2. It's hard starting every game off at a deficit.
  3. Sorry to hear about that NB. I really hope the Sox can give you/us a win. Go Sox!
  4. I understand the frustration of the fans, but they can't expect the FO to make panic moves after a rough patch of games. Patience is the key.
  5. It was. The 7 runs doesn't impress me when we're down by 10. Pitchers are going to pitch you differently when they have a big lead. Where were the runs when we needed them so desperately last night?
  6. Yes, it is. NS's mojo, for instance is 50%. User's is 0% (sorry for calling you out UN). We need to sign a guy who can give us 80% mojo or better.
  7. Not to make any excuses for them, because they stunk today, but there was also some pretty bad luck.
  8. They have been so frustrating to watch. It is still early, and I think they will come around, but it would be nice if they didn't wait until June to do so. Late in spring training, I had a lot of confidence in this offense to be able to come from behind if they got down a few runs. That confidence has disappeared. Right now, this offense is looking too much like last year's.
  9. Stolen bases are overrated because over the course of the season, they just do not add that much run value to the team's overall offense. That statement is supported by data. As far as stolen bases having a big impact on a single game, that is true. But so do the caught stealings. No one tends to remember the momentum killing caught stealing, because it's not as obvious. That erases the big impact of a stolen base from a previous game. Momentum can last several games, or it can last as little as a 1/2 inning. The point is that it has no predictive value. It doesn't matter how long it lasts. Momentum does not give that team a better chance to win the that game, the next game, or the next series. Anyway, we seem to be going around in circles with this. You don't want to believe me when I say I'm a strong believer in something, that's okay. But I'm not going to continue debating with you about it.
  10. I have said before that I am more frustrated with our offense than I am with our pitching. I expected our pitching to be mediocre. Our offense was supposed to be able to carry that mediocrity, and they haven't gotten the job done. I just heard the Sox are dead last in getting the lead of man on base. It seems like we can't get a baserunner on until there are 2 outs, then the next guy promptly comes up and makes an out.
  11. Our offense also has a way of making the other teams' pitchers Cy Young caliber.
  12. Our pitching staff has a way of sparking the other teams' offenses.....
  13. The defense is not helping out today.
  14. Well this is not the way I envisioned this game going.
  15. Come on Miley! We need a GIDP right now!
  16. Craig needs to get some consistent at bats. It's as simple as that.
  17. Nice inning for Miley. Let's go offense. Bud has a 17 ERA. We should be able to score runs at will.
  18. The table setters are not setting the table.
  19. We have not recently really had a good, sustained rally, where we string several hits together. I'm not complaining about the HRs. I just want to see some good, solid hitting, especially in timely situations.
  20. I have not seen any comments regarding this. I am guessing that being one short on the bench (Barnes replaced Victorino) might have something to do with it? Not that that is a very good reason.
  21. Dang, you broke my streak of consecutive posts. ;-)
  22. Ah, okay. I often miss sarcasm in posts. I still haven't figured out if MVP really hates Pedroia or if he is being sarcastic.
