    And, how did we choose to acquire some of those greats? I doubt they only looked at ERA & BA and the ole "eye test." How did they decide to let some of our stars go- just in time? It couldn't have anything to do with data on player decline by age- that would be too nerdy. Remember when everyone ooo'd and awww'd at VTek's computer brain? The guy committed to memory more than any little cheat sheet kept under a player's cap could ever hold. You think all he memorized was BA's and HRs? I don't get why some want to limit intelligence in baseball.

    Sounds like a great plan, and apparently the 3 year rule about poaching people from your former organization has now passed- so have at it, BLOOM! He might want to poach the Braves and Marlin's systems, too. I'd rather he pay them double than sign the next Diekman,

    It was a question about Sox management, not your opinion on analytics, but okay. BTW, you obviously care..
  4. moonslav59
    I didn't ask the question you answered.
  5. moonslav59
    Do you deny analytics were a big part of Theo's reign as GM? They went after high OBP guys like "The Grrek God of Walks" -Youk and Papi, just to name 2. (Manny was a carry over, but he fit right into any form of offensive metric usage.
  6. moonslav59
    It's about what I hoped for, and he might reach 115-120.

    The Wacha & Hill signings blow away the Richards & Peez signings of 2021, yet the results of the team do not reflect the improvement in that area.
  8. moonslav59
    To me, he’s proven he’s better in LF.
  9. moonslav59
    14 Ks by Sox pitching. Nice!
  10. moonslav59
    Good answer. He's been all over the map.
  11. moonslav59
    Me, too. If I had to pick between the good side of okay or the bad, I'd go good.
  12. moonslav59
    Not a bad signing at $5M. Not great. Maybe not even good, but certainly not a bad one.
  13. moonslav59
    I ask, was Rich Hill's $5M/1 deal, good, bad or okay? 4.56 ERA 22 GS (2nd on team) 103 IP (3rd on team)

    Injuries matter. I don't think the Sox are as good as the 20-6 June Sox, but they aren't as bad as the injury-riddled 8-19 July Sox, either. I don't think their 12-16 August record reflects the team very well, either. The team seemed snake-bitten from opening day. It happens. Being in a division with so many good teams makes a difference. The O's are no longer a door mat, like we've thought for years. Hey, we're 5-4 in September. Our farm is playing well, and certain players seem to be busting out. Maybe I'm just "buying a fantasy," but I have to try and be optimistic about something. To me, and this is not meant as a slight on anyone else, it's what being a true fan means.

    Hamilton is on fire! He's 3 for 4 in the 6th inning with a single, double and triple, plus his 66th SB. His OPS is up to .728, now. Abreu walked his 110th time, this season! He stole a base, too while going 1-2, so far. Rafaela is 2-3 w 3 rbi
  16. moonslav59
    Hill should be a 2-3 inning RP'er. .726 First time facing a player .794 Second time .912 Third time .781 First 25 pitches .843 Pitch 26-50 Not counting today.
  17. moonslav59
    Too bad Pham or Dugo can't play RF.
  18. moonslav59
    So, the Yankee collapse also has to do with playing a more difficult schedule later in the season, rather than having 15 players on the IL, too, right?
  19. moonslav59
    Ellsbury had a slow start at becoming a plus defensive CF'er.
  20. moonslav59
    Plus, being hot at the end of the year, including the playoffs, is better than the reverse.
  21. moonslav59
    It's the same as name-calling- basically calling us back fence gossipers, but by wording it differently, he thinks he's innocent.
  22. moonslav59
    Yes, but Lopez may cost the less due to 2 yrs of control v 3, 4 or 5+.
  23. moonslav59
    Me, too. I was just thinking that maybe both Luzardo (3 yrs remaining) and Lopez (2 yrs remaining) might be more available, especially since they have Cabrera (5 yrs remaining) in the wings. They'd still have: Alcantara 5 Rogers 4 Garrett 5 Cabrera 5 and 2 highly ranked pitcher in Perez (68.8 on BTV) Meyer (23.2)
  24. moonslav59
    He must have been bullied by geeks and nerds back in grammar school.
  25. moonslav59
    You'll get over it. It's okay.
