    So... JD and table scraps?

    Trade some players. Fire Dombrowski. The Sox just got one hit by a guy who was acquired two weeks ago for cash considerations. This is how ignoring the waiver wire can burn you...

    So.... sell low?

    It isn’t? What’s the definition of an RBI?

    Still doing it IMO. I mean, is he really fixing the pen with Eovaldi or salvaging his big free agent rather than have him miss one quarter of his deal?

    Even if they don’t let it go, the rest of the world needs to. This is between two adults and no one else...

    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...

    So... you’re calling the outfield a train wreck based on nostalgia and opinion?
  14. notin
    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
  19. notin
    Why? I’d take Bradley over AJ Pollock
  20. notin
    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...
