    Oh I agree Mookie should have been moving just in case. But as Pence didn’t slip there was nothing he could have done...

    Something tells me you don’t expect a numerical answer there...

    Well, yes. Sort of the point...

    I get the importance of rest and recovery, but st some point this team will need some wins...

    He’s definitely standing still at the beginning of the shot before Holt crashes into the wall. And the ball does sit at the wall for a long time before he finally ambles back on camera. I don’t think he had a shot at preventing the home run. But I can see why anyone would say he didn’t exactly hustle...

    The frequency with which this Big Dick Rick nickname gets used makes me think NESN has some sort of After Hours program I’m not watching...

    Ok. I had my questions because my calculator also believes in Bigfoot, a slew of Illuminati conspiracy theories, and everything it sees on “Ancient Aliens.” It might be time for a new calculator....

    0, obviously. Should I trust it?

    Even in Little League, you try to teach kids they should be moving on every play, either to the ball or to a position to back someone up. They don’t, of course, because they’re kids. But you do try to instill it in them...

    One thing to consider with Cora’s bullpen management is that he doesn’t have the guns to go to like he did last year. It’s easy to call for a pitcher to be removed from the game, but when your best options right now are Workman and Hembree, it’s easy to forget these were the #5 and #6 options less than a year ago...

    He was absolutely standing still while Holt charged, but that’s not surprising on a ball hit down the RF line. By the time the ball rolled past Holt to the wall, Pence was already around 2b. Even if Mookie went full tilt and ran the 150 feet or so to get the ball and throw it in, he wasn’t going to get the ball back in time for any play on Pence...

    Correct. That was right after Benintendi was ejected and the OF was Travis-Betts-Holt...

    The Sox pitchers walked 8 hitters and 5 of them scored, but the problem was CF defense?

    Duran will be fine as long as he can maintain his .471 BABIP. I did completely forget about Casas. He was an obvious choice...

    Betts value is from his bat speed. And Rickey Henderson stole 535 bases after his 30th birthday...

    Oooh. Too bad I wagered heavily on that Daily Double. I’ll take “Humility” for $1,000, Alex...

    I’ve said before, the almighty trio of “Ruth, Aaron, and Mays” will one day become “Ruth, Aaron, Mays, and Trout”...

    Overall pitching depth is an issue. The Sox has 5 good starters, but when one gets hurt - which happens every year to every team - they have no one capable of filling in even adequately...

    I can take a guess . Darwinzon Hernandez and Jarren Duran...

    I’ve never seen anywhere in sabermetrics that “anyone can play anywhere.” In fact, sabermetrics promotes different values to different OF positions. The defensive metrics can be heavily influenced by players who play multiple positions and play them well, but that’s absolutely not the same thing. Not even close. And while Betts had a bad game in CF, he actually has shown himself in the past to be very capable of that position...

    10 year deals are insane. But with Betts, there will be no reasonable middle ground. He’s either signing a 8-10 year deal or leaving after next season. He could be traded next month, but how many superstar players have been dealt for a package that was even close to what they brought to the team?
