  1. Thanks for the info. So, nobody has a HS player picked in 2016 who is excelling at the MLB level right now. And, since groome is not excelling at the MLb level right now, DD should be criticized. Hmm....
  2. Warning: Teenie to tiny sample sizes alert. Here are some very intersting Sox splits to ponder and perhaps disuss: 25 PAs with the bases loaded .476 5 30 (1.678 OPS) .977 RISP .982 RISP & 2 outs .905 Men on Base 1.186 High Leverage .763 Late & Close Best innings 1.047 1st 1.011 6th .964 2nd .951 9th .933 extra innings 1.341 3rd time vs SP'er .927 1st time .791 2nd time Lefty-Righty splits .894 vs RHP .703 vs LHP Curiosly, .949 RHB vs RHP and .772 LHB vs RHP .870 Home .847 Away .991 25 year old or under .899 31-35 y/o .694 26-30 (prime) .441 Catcher OPS .111 PH'er OPS (9 PAs) All other 8 positions are above .800!!!!!! 1.114 RF 1.016 SS .993 1B .889 LF .858 DH .857 CF .819 3B .813 2B Talk among yourselves.
  3. JD has made a difference, especially with Pedey out. We'd be playing HRam (Moreland at 1B), Swihart or _____ instead at DH. I think the change of approach and more healthy hitters is a major factor as well. HRam's surgery has been a big success, so far. Mookie's injury is healed. Moreland's toe is healed. Bogey's injury looked healed before his new one.
  4. We had a alot of players with nagging injuries that one could assume affected their numbers. Some posters seemed to choose to believe that perhaps the 2017 numbers were who those hitters truly were and that maybe the 2015-2016 numbers were the "flukes" or "outlier" seasons. The sheer magnitude of players that declined from 2016 to 2017 was stunning. Only Vaz improved. The other 9 top PA players from 2016 declined. The odds seemed to favor more players doing better in 2018 than worse or the same.

  6. You mean, the Bucks game?
  7. POM 44 pitches in 1st inning 44 pitches in next 2.2 innings Pom was Pom.
  8. A Tale of Two Pitchers... Pitcher A 2012: 10-7 2.54 in 143 innings (AA + AAA) 2013: 8-7 3.46 in 135 innings (AAA) 2014: 6-5 3.42 in 100 IP (AAA) 2015: 3-4 3.96 in 52 IP (MLB as a starter only) 2016: 12-5 2.67 in first 19 starts (MLB- 16 GS'd with 0-3 ER & 3 GS'd with 4-5 ER) Then, injury... Pitcher B 2016: 8-9 2.47 (102 IP in MLB before being traded to BOS) (Injured-playing hurt? 3-5 4.59 in 69 IP with Sox in '16.) 2017: 17-6 3.32 (174 IP in MLB)
  9. Just like that. JBJ's OPS is now higher than last year.
  10. I told my wife, "Watch JBJ jack one here!" He listened!
  11. We're scoring 8+ tonight. This game is going to be all about our pen. Just my hunch.
  12. MLB Runs Leaders 116 BOS 106 TOR & LAA 104 OAK
  13. Did Pom get 100 pitches... this inning?
  14. With JBJ & Betts it's like riding a bike.
  15. Wasn't somebody suggesting moving betts back to 2B before we signed Nunez?
  16. He's made some plays look scary as hell. I think it's just a matter of time before he actually messes up a play. His offense way our weighs the defense, but I still like him much better as our DH.
  17. I'm not sure I'd call a 4-5 year window a "short term team," but I do believe there is a window.
  18. Even if some old-schoolers don't value sabermetrics, they know defense is more about range and getting to balls than the difference between 25 and 15 errors.
  19. I'll go on the books as saying he'll never even be a top 5 GG vote- getter or finsih top 5 in the Fielding Bible rankings.
  20. Lin's competition is not Bogey, Pedey or Nunez (on offense anyways). It's Lin vs Holt, and even Holt might be sent down when Pedey returns, since Swihart is out of options.
  21. Errors alone are a poor way to evaluate defensive skill level.
  22. He kind of "Olay'ed" Zim like a bull fighter with a charging bull. There was a slight hint of malicious down trust applied by Pedro, but the situation was very heated.
  23. That says it all about Jacoby's current value.
