Too bad you don’t care about anything I say.
-
Agreed. There was no final botched play loss, but there were missed plays that led to many runs.
-
Your posts are so informative. It must be nice being you.
-
The D was a factor, too- just not all that blatantly obvious. Kike’s dropped flyball was pretty big. Maybe Schwarber could have got the runner out at home.
-
His senses will tell him to dump the clown umps. Breaking balls in the strike zone will be called strikes. No system will be adopted that misses that. Tell that to your grandkids and see what they say.

If he could only catch the balls none of our fielders could glove!

I've ragged and ragged about the Sox D all year long. Here is a rundown of some numbers. Our BAbip was an astronomical .324. The next team was at .304 and most teams were below .290. That, alone, shows just how severe it was. Our pitching might have been top 3 had we had a .290 BAbip. AL Rankings (15 teams) 10th Fangraphs Def 8th DRS 7th UZR/150 (12th in range) By position 4th LF (1st DRS) 5th SS (10th DRS) 6th CF (7th in DRS) 6th 2B (4th DRS) 9th RF (7th DRS) 10th C (6th DRS) 12th 3B (14th DRS) 14th 1B (15th DRS)

Don't you just love when a cornerback masters an uncallable pass interference? Man, that is great football! Too bad basketball players can't master uncallable personal fouls. That would really strengthen the game.

It happening in other sports does not mean jack. How is what Frank told you a supporting argument? Is it something you felt should be part of the game? Improves the game from the player of fan's perspective? To be honest, I'd like a "full volume" strike zone system, I'll take anything that establishes a consistent strike zone, where pitchers and batters know what will be called a strike and what won't be. and making it as close to what is generally considered a strike now and what is not. If a 2-D system is all they can come up with, I'll still take that a million times over what we have now- an human who is blinded from much of the plate by the catcher in front of him and can't even see the full 3-D volume of the strike zone. What we are asking of the home plate is nothing short of absurd Saying, "It adds a human element" does not cut it for me. To know we can fix it and deciding not to is nothing short of insanity, IMO.

Yes, and it would be very rare for a bouncing ball to reach the K zone.

Your sarcasm is not detectable, Mr. ARod.

Dreaming without much regard to the farm... Trade: Duran, Groome & Gonzalez For: Montas (2 yrs) & Piscotty (1 yr) Trade: Dalbec, Downs, Renfroe & Ward For: Mountcastle (5 yrs) Sign: ERod, R Iglesias, Schwarber & Iggy 2022 Roster 1. Kike CF 2. Schwarber LF 3. Bogey SS 4. Devers 3B 5. Mountcastle 1B 6. Martinez DH 7. Verdugo RF 8. Arroyo 2B 9. Vazquez C Bench: Piscotty (.825 v LHP), Iggy, Casas, Plawecki/Wong/Hernandez SP1. Eovaldi SP2.

-
I'm thinking Duran will be a good ML hitter. It may take a while to reach average defense.
-
That trade was for 5 years of Mountcastle and 3 years of Means. You would not do that trade?
-
4 words... Five years of Mountcastle.
-
Yes, even the ones we missed were not really horrific.
-
It boggles my mind that teams actually strategize approaches based on who the home plate ump is that night, and some are okay with that.
-
I'd go... 1. Mayer 2. Casas 3. Yorke 4. Bello 5. Duran 6. Seabold 7. Downs 8. Jordan 9. Groome 10. Winckowski 11. Jimenez 12. Mata 13. Bleis 14. Song 15. Gonzalez 16. Wong 17. Murphy 18. Bazardo 19. McDonough 20. Bonaci 21. Walter 22. Ward

Damon? We had a LF'er. Pedro? His arm was held by a thread. Ellsbury? Wasn't even worth half what the Skanks paid. Manny? We traded him before his time was up, and just in time. Nomar? Dumped his ass just in time. Lester? A mistake by us. A Beltre? A mistake, but we only had him 1 year. AGon? Just in time. Beckett? Just in time. Youk? Traded too late. JBJ? Great let go. Mueller & VTek. Right moves. Porcello? Okay Lackey? Linda messed up but complicated Lowe? Had reasons. Schilling? one year too many but he earned it.
-
Lester was the "one that got away," and Betts may make us have deep regrets, but by and large, we've done well knowing when to say enough is enough.
-
No Pedro, either. We've done remarkably well in letting our stars go, just in time.
-
Back in the day, we used to have humans call ball and strikes! Can you believe how backwards we were back when?
-
I'd give Duran and Dalbec for Mountcastle, even though BTV does not accept due to it being a major overpay by the Sox. BTV accepted this unrealistic trade: Duran, Dalbec, Downs, Mata, Groome for Means and Mountcastle The 3-D for 2-M deal.
-
Maneae & Bassit only have 1 year left. I'd prefer the 2 years of Mointas.
