And yet Blake Edwards still went ahead and made that movie...

How do you know their eyes don’t agree with WAR? The definition of arrogance is “having an exaggerated sense of one’s own abilities or importance.” I would think assuming one’s own eye test and assessment to be the one true answer fits that definition far, far more than reliance on objective statistical data...

Yes but Rivera would have, too, if he threw left-handed...

I think that a direct quote from Don Zimmer that year...

So... you’re calling the outfield a train wreck based on nostalgia and opinion?

Still might need to, but he’s getting cheaper..

I think I want my closer to be Billy Wagner. The dude was 5’9 and threw 100mph with his weak arm! That’s just ridiculous...
-
Yes we all felt that way about the 1978 Red Sox...

Or NY if they give up Garcia. The Frazier-Loasigia package won’t cut it

Strawman argument. There’s no such thing as a healthy Pollock

Why? I’d take Bradley over AJ Pollock

No. It’s used as a debate beginner in many of those instances. That no one counters is not the fault of the stat...

???? Like he has in Toronto? He’s a good pitcher, but he isn't coming to Boston...

The Sox have very little to offer for him...

Actually you’re the only one who calls WAR a debate ended. And if it stops you from debating, in some ways it is...

You don’t think these guys have enough confidence in themselves, that each one believes he can hit regardless of who else is around them in the lineup. I bet you will NEVER find a major leaguer who thinks “If only Player X hit behind me, then I’d be really good.”
-
It is saying it if you know how to look at the numbers. It certainly says it to me. If a player doesn’t get as many opportunities, his stats should suffer. Mark Canha, for example, is a home run hitting machine. But he is never among the league leaders. While he is awesome at hitting home runs per at bat, he doesn’t get as many at bats. Therefore his home runs suffer. But if you look at the single number to evaluate home runs, plenty of hitters hit more. Not because they’re better in many cases, but because they get more chances. WAR, like all stats, measures accomplishments. Not ability. Fans like to use the two notions interchangeably, but that doesn’t make it right...

Right so this is proof. Of course in the first 6 games with Benintendi hitting behind him, JD had an OPS over 1.100. He did struggle in the two series since, so I guess that is where the proof lies...

Benintendi was hitting much better in 2018...

Facing an opponent whose already seen him twice this year probably didn’t help...

Well, a “fire sale” typically implies dealing anyone and everyone. I just think the Sox need to move a few pieces whose value is maximized right now and focus on 2020. Specifically, I think the Sox should move Porcello and, for the right price, Betts. I’m on the fence about Barnes. I think they have a solid lineup core in Bogaerts, Devers, and Benintendi and know who 3 of their 5 starting pitchers in 2020 already. Both of these can be enhanced a bit,..

Yeah but admit it. The words “Sale” and “Price” just go together so well...

I think fans are the only ones who react to postseason numbers. If GMs did it, Panda would never have been allowed to leave San Francisco...

I don’t think the Sox will be sellers. But I do think thy should be sellers...

The Celtics were the first team to draft a black NBA player (Earl Lloyd)...
