    We're closing in on Moon's 12 runs!
  2. S5Dewey
    Well put!
  3. S5Dewey
    Where were you when he hit that double in X-tras last night?
  4. S5Dewey
    You can't assume anything, but his last attempt at a bunt was a near-perfect one.
  5. S5Dewey
    Bottom line on the bunt: Cora screwed the pooch on it. He could have had JBJ @ 3B with one out and Betts coming up when a long fly ball wins it. I'd give up the out in a heartbeat to put Mookie up needing a fly ball to win it. If they walk Mookie they face Devers. If they walk Devers they look at JDM. It would become a case of "choose your poison".

    Bad? I think the word you're looking for is Dreadful. And please don't leave out Stupid. Sometimes I wonder about these guys. They've been playing baseball all their lives and then do something just unbelievably stupid. My guess is that if someone on Slash's 16U team did that he and Slash would have a short discussion about it and Slash would do most of the talking.

    That's such a bogus argument. To carry that farther, unless someone has seen every Little Leaguer play they can't say that JBJ is better than all the Little Leaguers. Or the T-Ball players. Or the 4-year olds playing toss with their dads in their back yards. Unless you've seen them you can't say that JBJ is better than they are. There's a certain assumption that goes along with a player's being good enough to play Major League Baseball. You're better than that argument, Moon.

    The problem with the BP is that the BP is being asked to do more than a BP should be asked to do. The "problem with the BP" in last night's game was that the offense couldn't get a hit with RISP.
  9. S5Dewey
    So... since his stats weren't up to par he had less value than a replacement player? How can you guys watch him play and justify that?????
  10. S5Dewey
    I don't. But my argument for the inaccuracy of dWAR is that JBJ has more defensive value than a replacement player every day. Or even that JBJ has more value to a team than that 1/2 run per season. There are so many things about dWAR that are bogus. For example, when we talk about all three of our outfielders the discussion goes to 1) it's possible that Beni's dWAR is undervalued because he plays LF in Fenway, 2) JBJ's dWAR is undervalued because he plays next to Betts in RF which prevents him from having to get to balls hit to RC, and 3) Betts' dWAR is overvalued in comparison to other RF'ers because there's more ground to cover in RF of Fenway than (nearly?) any other park. And that's just the Red Sox. For example, is Judge's dWAR negatively affected by his playing RF in the bandbox now called Yankee Stadium? Or is the park effect exclusive to Fenway? With all the flaws and questions about dWAR I find it hard to believe that anyone would try to defend it. It's the triumph of stats over logic.

    I've never understood how a pitcher can walk a hitter with the bases loaded. Just throw a strike, for Chrissake! At least there's a chance to get someone out!
  12. S5Dewey
    As much as I hate to say this, ARod was right. Marco should have bunted
  13. S5Dewey
    WTF are you doing JBJ???
  14. S5Dewey
    Agree. If he's not successful you've run yourself out of the inning
  15. S5Dewey
    Moon Scores!!
  16. S5Dewey
    Ok Moon. This ball is now in your court with JBJ up.
  17. S5Dewey
    I've gotta say though, Vaz needs to get those tags a bit closer to the ground. That play was closer than it had to be.
  18. S5Dewey
    Beni contributes!!
  19. S5Dewey
    Does Turner live under a bridge someplace? He looks homeless.
  20. S5Dewey
    That sound was the result of what was mentioned here a few pages ago about ESPN magnifying the sounds of the bat hitting the ball.
  21. S5Dewey
    Jessica... STFU!!
  22. S5Dewey
    Hahaha.. There is that!!
  23. S5Dewey
    A decent bid. Better than I expected. I'm happy he avoided the DP.
  24. S5Dewey
    Sad when that's our hope.
  25. S5Dewey
    Gotta run for Vaz..don't we?
