If the season ended now, here's the wild card shakedown: +2 BAL MN -0 CLE -0 TX -1.0 (not counting Sunday night's game) DET -1.5 (not counting Sunday night's game) BOS -1.5

I'm sure taking away the worst two or three games from every pitcher would greatly affect their numbers, but here's a look at a few Sox pitchers: Hembree: 4.29 ERA (10 ER in 21.0 IP) -4 ER in 0.1 IP>> 2.73 ERA (6 in 19.2) -3 ER in 0.1 IP>> 1.40 ERA (3 in 19.1) -2 ER in 0.2 IP>> 0.47 ERA (1 in 19.0) Barnes: 4.08 ERA (8 ER in 17.2 IP) -2 ER in 0.0 IP >> 3.05 ERA (6 in 17.2) -3 ER in 1.1 IP >> 1.65 ERA (3 in 16.1) -1 ER in 0.1 IP >> 1.13 ERA (2 in 16.0) Taylor 6.59 ER (10 ER in 13.2 IP) -4 ER in 0.0 IP >> 3.95 ERA (6 in 13.2) -2 ER in 1 IP >> 2.87 ERA (4 in 12.2 IP -2 ER in 1 IP >> 1.54 ERA (2 in 11.2)

I'm going to see the Sox in a few weeks here in Houston.

Here's what I put together: Since 2014, the leader in runs scored ranked as such in OBP and SLG: Runs Team OBP / SLG Ranks 2556 TOR 3/2 2556 COL 6/1 2444 BOS 1/5 2400 DET 2/4 2395 WSH 7/7 2363 TEX 11/10 2358 BAL 24/3 2332 LAD 4/9 2331 LAA 15/19 2312 AZ 14/8 Highest OBP team not in the top 10 in scoring: Pitt at #5 (.327) who was 20th in SLG at .398 Highest SLG team not in the top 10 in scoring: Hou at #6 (.414) who was 17th in OBP at .316

Getting through 8 innings with less than 100 pitches is something we've needed from ERod for a long time. Let's hope he can continue going deeper into his future starts.
-
Here's a weird situation: The Rangers are 10th in runs scored but 23rd in OPS. 17th in SLG at .407 (Sox are 19th at .405) 23rd in OBP at .313 (Sox are 7th at .334)

We're 11 runs away from 7th out of 15 teams in the AL after just going past the quarter point in the season. Yes, we have to improve, but it's not a big climb. I think we'll end up top 5 in the AL and maybe top 3 in runs scored.

Wow, I woke up today and discovered I'm a gangsta!

Baseball Reference has this... OPS+ by position 132 SS 124 PH 115 CF 110 RF 104 C 103 DH 99 2B 88 1B 85 LF 53 3B
-
Nobody is going to say our offense has been fine to date, but I think we are better than we have shown so far. Time will tell. One thing I see that looks "balanced" is that we have only one position (3B) below a .700 OPS.
-
A little less than three-quarters of the season to go, and here is our we place in the AL by positional OPS: 4th in RF.855 4th at SS .765 6th as a team .738 6th in LF .750 6th at C .732 7th at 1B .771 8th in CF .727 9th at 2B .707 11th at DH .704 15th at 3B .588 (76 points behind 14th place!) 9th in runs scored in the AL with 184. We're one run behind 8th (CWS) and 11 behind 7th (BAL). We're 30 behind being top 3 (NYY, TBR, HOU). T 9th in wRC+ at 97 6th in team UZR/150 at +0.4. T 3rd in ERA- at 93 1st in Pitching WAR at 6.3 1st in starter WAR at 4.1 4th in pen WAR at 2.2 8th in team WHIP at 1.28 2nd K/BB% at 18.1%

It would be nice to have a big husky power hitter in the 4 slot, but our little guys seems to have more power than most "lead off hitter" types. I think we'll hit for more power the rest of the way as a team, but getting on base is still the leading indicator for projecting runs scored.
-
Sad to lose to these bums, but it's a long, long season. I'm still not that worried, but some concerns remain.
-
Not luck. We played the correct odds and won.

That's why these guys make all the big bucks! LOL

Something I found... By Rob Bradford Larry Lucchino PUNTA CANA, Dominican Republic — Larry Lucchino may have a different role in the Red Sox organization now, but a year ago he was right in the middle of the team’s decision to tip-toe when it came to investing in 30-something-year-old free agent starting pitchers. A year later, Lucchino is no longer Red Sox president/CEO, but he continues to have a unique view of the change in philosophy that came with agreeing to terms with David Price on a seven-year, $217 million contract. “I think that when facts change, When circumstances change, then one tends to change,” said Lucchino, who is attending the David Ortiz Celebrity Golf Tournament at the Sanctuary Resort. “The tendency may be too change your policy or philosophy. You can have one point of view that fits you think until you get evidence that it may not be quite right, then you hope you have the flexibility enough to adjust.”

More and more, it looks like our 2018 twenty five man roster might include Devers at 3B and Travis at 1B.

soxprospects.com ...a scorching-hot Sam Travis, who was 5 for 6 with two doubles, making him 11 for 19 in the four-game set.

Fair enough. I guess I just don't see Henry as being the main driving force behind any baseball-related philosophy. I could be wrong. I see him as the brains behind the business end of the management team, of course, signing "splashy free agents" older or not, could be a big part of the "business end".
-
It seemed with the mighty 6 starters we had, not many borderline 5/6 slot starters saw much of a chance to break into the Sox rotation, so they chose places where they had a better chance to earn a starting slot.
-
But, if he made that statement after being convinced By LL, then I'd pin the blame on LL. The other issue is that the philosophy of over 30 pitcher signings changed from Ben to DD, so both were operating under different restrictions/guidelines.
-
In general, I agree, but a boss is a boss is a boss.
-
Got that right. Our pitching numbers in starts only... 4-2 2.15 Sale (8 GS/59 IP) 2-1 3.12 ERod (7/40) 2-5 4.23 Porc (99/55) 3-3 5.29 Pom (7/34) 1-3 8.25 Wright (5/24) 1-0 7.20 Johnson (1/5) 0-1 10.80 Velazquez (1/5) 0-2 12.96 Kendrick (2/8)

Agreed. Had we still had Espi...

Yes, MLBTR had something about it about a week ago.
