    We will continue to disagree on that. Every sample size is worth something. It's a matter of how it's interpreted.

    "if you have a guy like Mookie in an 0 for 30 slump versus someone like Holt who is 15 for his last 30," How is what you said anything but a hypothetical situation?? It's this situation vs. that situation and it's all conjecture as to whether that would ever even happen. Is a "good" hitter a good hitter when he's 0 for 30? I'd offer that for those 30 AB's he's not and I don't think any statistician would argue that. Of course, it's somewhat situational. If it's the bottom of the 9th and we're down one run I'm going to pinch hit with someone with good power regardless of whether he's "hot".

    I'm in. Let's have this team sweep this series and help Youk's GT record.

    I'm not sure about the posts but IMO you have the best avatars of anyone here!

    FWIW, I think they're both right. Porcillo's ERA is what it is and his record reflects the fact that the Sox are scoring more runs now, But in his last 11 starts going back to mid-June he's had one outing where he pitched fewer than 6 innings and one outing where he gave up more than four runs. In August he's had three starts, going 6, 7, & 6 innings and giving up 2, 3, & 1 runs. I'm certainly willing to grant that an 8-14 record and a 4.40 ERA isn't anything to write home about. The flip side of the coin is that he almost always gives us at least six innings and has pitched better for the past two months.

    The owners feel the same way about the big money contracts as they do about signing PED players. They don't particularly like signing those contracts but they don't trust the other owners not to.

    Bordering on excellent?

    A person can always build a hypothetical case to try to make their point. In your hypothetical situation it would depend on whether or not Holt is 0 for his last 15. As I've said twice, i'll go with the guy who's got the hot hand rather than gamble that the guy who's 0 for 30 will break out at that moment.

    Baseball is a funny game. Yesterday we thought we had a lock on the game with Sale pitching. Today's game some felt was a toss-up (or worse) facing Sonny Gray. It's a funny game.

    It has, but think how long it would have seemed if the Sox had been losing.
  11. S5Dewey
    Me too. When your foot is on the throat you step DOWN.
  12. S5Dewey
    I agree. I think JF was anticipating the Sox scoring more runs that inning.
  13. S5Dewey
    Did you read what I posted about "the wooden stake through the heart"?
  14. S5Dewey
    "Leon back to tag". There's the joke of the game. LOL
  15. S5Dewey
    I do wish you could post more. Your OP in this thread was classic! LOL
  16. S5Dewey
    Are you saying that he runs like a catcher? :-)
  17. S5Dewey
    I agree. I thought Hanley fouled off some tough pitches. Yeah.. he ended up popping out but it was still a good AB. Devers OTOH looked overmatched.
  18. S5Dewey
    Don't tell us. Tell Sandy.
  19. S5Dewey
    These are the Yankees. Take nothing for granted. It's not over until the wooden stake has been driven through the heart.
  20. S5Dewey
    Hmmm..does Farrell still use Kimbrel?
  21. S5Dewey
    Man... our catchers can hit!
  22. S5Dewey
    Because it's the Red Sox and the Yankees. It's always that way, and why I dislike the ESPN Sunday night games that start late. Someone I know used to refer to it as the Sunday Night Death March.
  23. S5Dewey
    "Pretty good"?? You're a tough sell! This is a VERY good outfield!
  24. S5Dewey
    I agree, and it's the same way with Mookie and so far to a lesser extent with Beni. We do need offensive production from them but this is a really good defensive outfield.

    And this is the problem with labeling players. I sometimes think that when it comes to statistics we can't see the forest for the trees. Moreland (for example) may be exactly what he was called, a .700-.750 OPS hitter, but he doesn't get that way by having an OPS of ~.725 in each game. He gets there by having streaks where his OPS is ~.900 and other streaks where it's ~.600. It's the same with JBJ. He can go on a tear where his OPS can be >1.20 for a short time and another streak where it's I agree that there is no guarantee that a player will get a hit in his next AB based on what he's done in his previous AB's but as I said before, I'd rather take my chances that a player on a hot streak will continue to be hot than take a chance that a player who's 0 for his last 15 is going to break out and get a hit.
