  1. I still give great weight to the projections even though one team entered today's games with MLB's best run differential and the other team with the worst run differential.
  2. I don't bet but it's safe to say the Red Sox will win more games this season than any single pitcher. And for what it's worth, FanGraphs Playoff Odds still project the Seattle Mariners to finish fourth in the American League West: https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds
  3. Today's meaningless stat: Seattle lefthander Marco Gonzales has more wins than the Red Sox this season.
  4. Even the 10-2 Seattle Mariners could not sweep the 3-7 Chicago White Sox (or the 3-9 Red Sox, for that matter).
  5. The ESPN Power Rankings have the Rays No. 5, the Yankees No. 6 and the Red Sox No. 11: http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/page/powerrankings040819/power-rankings-made-best-worst-first-impressions
  6. The 1998 New York Yankees, who won 114 games, started the season 1-4 before reeling off an eight-game winning streak as part of winning 22 of their next 24 games.
  7. But misspelled chagrin.😊
  8. True enough With 79 games remaining at Fenway Park, the Red Sox trail only the Chicago Cubs for the most remaining games in their home ballpark.
  9. The Red Sox have the most remaining home games (81) of any team.
  10. The Red Sox have the fewest remaining road games (71) of any team.
  11. I agree. I regret making my earlier post.
  12. In recent years home openers in inclimate regions have been scheduled with the following day off to accommodate a rescheduled game postponed by weather. Several teams are off this Friday for that reason. The White Sox home opener, rained out on Thursday, was played Friday.
  13. After suggesting that the Mariners would be happy with a 1-3 record against the Red Sox. I suggested that the Mariners would happy with a 3–1 record but in retrospect the 3-1 record was bittersweet because the M’s blew a 6-1 lead in their only loss.
  14. Mitch Moreland’s three-run homer inflicted the only loss in Seattle’s first eight games (including two games against these Athletics).
  15. Against decent teams on the road.
  16. And I left Stephen Piscotty on my fantasy team’s bench.😐
  17. Chris Sale provides sufficient grounds for optimism.
  18. What was Drew Pomeranz's 2018 WAR projection after the lefthander had posted 3.0 and 2.9 fWAR the two previous seasons?
  19. If Nathan Eovaldi and Steve Pearce overperformed with the Red Sox for two months last year (three months for Pearce), this year's performances could be downgrades. Or not. Eovaldi, with a career ERA+ of 95, posted an ERA+ of 132 in 12 appearances with the Red Sox last year. Pearce, with a career OPS+ of 111, posted an OPS+ of 141 in 50 games with the Red Sox last year. Stellar World Series performances may have skewed their value in the public eye. Some Red Sox fans, intoxicated with a World Series title, have made preseason judgments that reflect the intoxication.
  20. Of the 45 innings so far this season, only four innings have ended with the Red Sox in the lead. That's probably a reflection of the disappointing starting pitching. The Red Sox were fortunate to have the lead after the ninth inning of Game 2 of the Seattle series.
  21. If it's any comfort, the Seattle Mariners have scored four first-inning runs tonight against the Los Angeles Angels: MLB Gameday: Angels 3, Mariners 6 Final Score (04/01/2019) | MLB.com WWW.MLB.COM Follow MLB results with FREE box scores, pitch-by-pitch strikezone info, and Statcast data for Angels vs. Mariners at T-Mobile Park The Mariners also committed their sixth error from third base alone this season.
  22. Again, from my comment today over at Over the Monster : https://www.overthemonster.com/2019/4/1/18289941/red-sox-mariners-opening-day-series-red-sox-rotation#comments
  23. I just posted this at Over the Monster: "I am a firm believer in the metrics that show the 2019 Red Sox to be a significantly better team than the Mariners." https://www.overthemonster.com/2019/4/1/18289941/red-sox-mariners-opening-day-series-red-sox-rotation#comments Scroll down to comments.
  24. Thanks, Slash. Fabulous weather, good company, close-in free parking, light traffic on the commute. I still don't know what to think of the 2019 Seattle Mariners ... or the Boston Red Sox, for that matter.
  25. Bittersweet in the sense that the only loss came after the Mariners blew a 6-1 lead (and a two-fun lead heading into the ninth inning). The series is evidence of the randomness of a small sample.
