Most teams? No. These guys? They aren’t big on management accountability.
-
My guess is it’s because they would have to admit they were wrong in bringing him up this quickly. The contract extension isn’t helping here.
-
I don't put too much stock in that differential and its not just errors that matter; it's plays not made such as not turning a DP or throwing to the wrong base, or not hitting the cutoff man (the latter two are more mental errors). Those things also drive up pitch counts, forcing more bullpen use, etc. I really wonder if these guys think ahead about what they are going to do if X, Y or Z happens. There's a great video on youtube where Dwight Evans describes what was going through is head prior to Joe Morgan hitting that shot that he made that staggering catch on in the Fisk game and all the scenarios he ran through.

Going into today, his overall BA was.254 With RISP, it was .298 With a runner or runners on, it was .308 With bases empty, it was .208.

One little thing I saw Rafaela do earlier in the game. On the play where the Angels took the lead in the 8th, his throw to the plate was head high to the cutoff man, keeping the batter at first. It made Criswell's job a whole lot easier to end the inning. Much different than a similar throw last night.
-
What did that go, 304 feet?
-
If they don’t score here, he’ll be back out for the 10th. Obviously Cora doesn’t want to use Chapman and Kelly’s the only other guy left.
-
Doesn’t matter what we know; it only matters what they think.
-
Over/under on how many pitches before the Angels retake the lead? It was 5 in the 2nd and 9 in the 8th..
-
It was a bullet/rocket in the box score.
-
Still got the 9th..
-
Raffy, take him off the wall here. Don’t get pull happy.
-
I’m coming to that conclusion. They won’t do it, because they would have to admit they were wrong.
-
Campbell epitomized the Sox philosophy there. Swing hard at everything. No attempt to cut down the swing with 2 strikes. Sad thing is, he’ll be told it’s okay.
-
He’s been so good lately, too. as with any pen, the more guys you use, the more likely it is one will not have it on a given day.
-
Do you have some stock picks? I may want some put options on them.
-
Came from outside the organization so doesn’t have the Sox minor league philosophy ingrained.
-
I was writing it as Romy blooped the hit and I wrote it yesterday as well. I’d buy it if it were Koufax or Carlton on the mound, This Angel’s pitcher was in AA a week ago. Mayer’s had 6 PAs against southpaws. Now, I don’t know his minor league splits so there is info that Cora has and I don’t.
-
I hate the fact that Cora has already decided that Mayer needs to be platooned.
-
Incorrect. They had it after the bottom of the first today; it lasted 5 pitches IIRC.
-
The Cardinal series.
-
Sort of, The single off the wall probably sends him to third and he scores on the first grounder to Campbell (or it’s a hit if the infield’s in).
-
Bernardino too rested.
-
He has a good approach at the plate. Let’s hope he is uncoachable wrt the Sox hitting philosophy of launch ball.
-
You could see it coming with the first swing. He’s trying to go yard. 100 mph sinkers aren’t conducive to that.
