Easily understandable...
-
Or, if you’re OB and Remy, it means OPS is flawed. (OPS does have a major flaw rooted in basic math, but that doesn’t impact its values. Just in its quantifiability.)
-
Which is why Sale isn’t saying it. Sale’s velocity is down this year. Do people think that is Leon’s fault too?
-
I absolutely disagree with that logic for refuting WAR. And I believe they try as hard as they can almost all the time and baseball is their comfort zone. But I’m sure Remy agrees with you that most players dog it during the regular season...
-
Since I’m not going to say something you want to hear, I doubt you’ll listen. But the argument that WAR is flawed because one player went from having a really good score to a really bad score is just flat out stupid. That’s like saying batting average is flawed because a player can have a good BA one year and a bad one the next. I mean, did he suddenly become a worse hitter?
-
Betts has an .869 OPS. His career OPSi is .885. If you take out his first two seasons when he was young, developing, and learning the league, his OPS since his age 23 season is .903. He’s basically hitting like he always has with the exception of his outstanding 2018...

You must be new here;) I’ve been ripping Dombrowski’s lack of activity this year since December. I’m not even sure he still works for the Red Sox...
-
For the 10,000th time - no the Sox cannot get out of Pedroia’s contract. The CBA specifically prohibits moves designed to deliberately evade the luxury tax calculation. The Sox are just going to have to learn to find 40 baseball players whose combined salary is a mere $215million. Such the handicap...
-
While it’s not uncommon for a player’s performance to drop after signing a big deal, Sale’s issues did start before his big contract. I don’t think he’s in the “I don’t care!! I’m getting paid” camp. But his continued struggles just make Dombrowski look worse in my eyes...
-
Least productive platoon ever?
-
No. His $10mill plus salary and one year of control combined with a sub-.700 OPS and 0.3fWAR is a pretty untradable combination. Not to mention, the Sox will have a need in CF and might want to re-sign Bradley. Trading him does kill that option leaving CF for who? Rusney Castillo? Jarren Duran?
-
It’s not so bad when you can still remember some rings. Plural...
-
I wonder when you’ll realize every time you tell us how Sale is done, every time you get excited over his “death nail” contract, every time you predict the harbinger that is his future... Luis Severino has another setback. Did you just hear that? That little “thwack” noise off in the distance? Sounded like tendon snapping...

So we all good? Postseason back on again?

Springer isn’t even the best player on the Astros... -

Springer over Trout? By any chance, do you play Fantasy Baseball for money? -

No. It’s Trout. -
Stop trying to divert your blame...
-
We know that. We meant the reason besides you...
-
Yeah I don’t think they can go buy another starter. I do agree they non-tender Bradley and let everyone who’s a free agent walk without a QO. (Except maybe Brock Holt.) I don’t think they sign any free agent except possibly someone on a bounce back deal. Candidates include Hector Rondon,Scooter Gennett, Jedd Gyorko, Juan Lagares, Homer Bailey...
-
They are, and pitching is worse across the board. But the Sox offense doesn’t appear as dazed as their pitching because they’re facing a baseball that’s more like a racquetball...
-
It’s been one year. Diaz and Kremer are in their top ten per MLB.com. Valera was a 26yo utility infielder who was probably only included to free up a spot on the 40 man roster
-
Exactly. But when your headline relievers include names like Ryan Brasier and Chad Fox, you’re not assembling a bullpen committee; you’re spending as little as possible and hoping it all works out somehow...
-
Fans don’t like it, but closer by committee does make a lot of sense. Unfortunately what Sox fans have seen from it twice is “don’t spend money and just dump anyone in the bullpen,” with the latter half of that “plan” being the most notable. But if the Yankees rotated saves between Chapman, Ottavino, Britton, Holder, Green, and Kahnle, I don’t think the concept would be so readily questioned...
-
What makes the most sense is dealing him this off-season. Better return and increases likelihood of a reset, which makes bringing Mookie back easier...
