I'm hoping for Farewell, but I guess that would mean we'd have to lose. Damn it! Go SOX!
-
Not this hurricane.
-
Wow! I wonder if he made a mistake writing him in 7th. Es un milagro!
-
Yeah, he's at .758 now, after yesterday's game, but .758 is the 5th best 2nd half OPS among healthy Sox players. I think blaming our 4th OF'er who has 5 guys better and 6 guys worse is scapegoating. True, he has not been good all year, but he's hardly the guy to focus attention on, just because he's maybe the easiest to replace on the roster. BTW, Young has an .817 OPS in August. 5th best out of 12 players with 35+ PAs.
-
I don't disagree, but it is JF who keeps him batting 4th.
-
I have a two-story home, so I feel safe, but I'm worried about losing my first floor to flooding. We have food & water to last over a week.
-
Young is hitting .801 in the second half. We need to find new scapegoats.
-
They called the flooding in Houston last year "once in a 10,000 year flood". A year later, it's twice as bad!
-
Our home is still dry. No rain last night, but the water just dropped an inch. It's raining hard right now. We still have power. The rain bands are now headed east to west (not south to north), so that's a sign the storm center is moving to the east. We want to be on the west side to avoid heavy rain bands coming off the Gulf.
-
Yeah, $250/10 should do.
-
Some perspective: in 2015, Houston got flooded pretty bad. They said it was a once in a 500 year flood. Lst year Houston received 12-22 inches in the area. Some bayous flooded. Some neighborhoods got hit badly. They called it a once in a 10,000 year flood. This storm has blown last year's away already, and we're only half way through it!
-
Yes- over the next 3-4 days. They are saying there is no way to know what areas will get more rain and that 50 or more inches is likely in some places (total -not to come). My spot has gotten about 15, and the water is already up to my door sill. 15 to 30 more will surely flood my downstairs, unless it is slowly spread over 4 days and some of the water can drain out of here. The problem is this whole area is flat as a pancake and it moves slowly to the ocean. Too slowly. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Other areas near us have gotten 24-30 inches already.
-
JF makes the line-ups not DD.
-
If there were blunders, they had no effect on any of those games. What about Holt holding onto the ball while the winning run scored?
-
Fine with me- just get him out of the 4 slot.
-
The water is now up to our porch. We have about 4 inches between a dry and flooded interior. 15-30 inches expected over the next 4 days. What a mess! Nice to know Trump is already congratulating himself on a job well done with the Fed response. No Feds here yet. Just state and local people with boats.
-
We had 8 hits and 7 walks into the 7th inning with no outs. One run. 15 men on base and one run in basically 6 innings. I doubt that has ever happened in Sox history.
-
Betts career splits: .866 4th .852 8th .848 1st He has 4 PAs batting 4th this year, and that's what you are basing your position on? How about the split with him killing the ball with men on base?
-
Betts has barely batted 4th, so we can't make any assumptions about that split. Devers did great batting 3rd in the minors. I'd bat him or Betts 4th. When Pedey and JBJ were hot, they could have batted 4th. Even Beni is a better choice than HRam and Moreland. (Bogey should have batted 1st or 2nd hen he was hot.) vs RHPs 1. Nunez 2. Beni 3. Betts 4. Devers 5. Pedey 6. JBJ 7. Bogey 8. Moreland 9. Vaz/Leon vs LHPs 1. Nunez 2. Bogey 3. Pedey 4. Betts 5. HRam 6. Devers 7. Young 8. Beni 9. Vaz/Leon
-
Funny how just 4 losses makes it seems like everyone now agrees with me about JF.
-
We need Devers up 4th, so you can stop drilling HRam in the head.
-
All that said, I have to be honest. He's down from last year, but not way down. He didn't ask to bat cleanup, he got the job because Farrell can't find anyone better. There's about 2-4 guys better, 5-6 when Pedey and JBJ get back. One is Devers. One is Betts.
-
Yes, and a damn good pitching staff and defense have been carrying us. We've also had better timely hitting until 4 days ago. I will say, I do not think these bad 2nd half offensive numbers will continue. Even if it does, we can still win.... harder but possible.
-
I'm not saying HRam doesn't deserve some criticism. I'm just saying all I hear is Hram this and Hram that. How about wondering why HRam and Moreland keep being put up 4th, when so many other players have better numbers? HRam doesn't make out the line-up cards. FYI, HRam frustrates the hell out of me, too.
-
Maybe there is no cause. Maybe it's just happen stance. Players go up and down, and sometimes it happens all together. I'm hopeful for an upturn at the right time. No data. No root causes. We have a very very good team. We don't look like one right this second in time, but that doesn't change the fact that we still are a very very good team. At least that's how I look at it. I'm kind of wondering why every time we lose, the HRam boo-birds come out. I realize his numbers with men on base are down this year, but it hasn't always been like that, and I see no reason to think the "cause" is some deep seated negative personality trait he posses...or others on the team as well. Missing Papi has made a difference...IMO not so much because of lost "protection". We're on pace for scoring about the same as last year minus the differential between Papi and Moreland's run production. Just about the rest of the league have leap-frogged us on offense, but our pitching looks better in an era of massive offensive improvement, so that has to count for something. I've always felt games and championships are won largely on pitching.
