    Remember what Johnny Gomes said after a 13 playoff win? Speaking of the War analytics he said, "its not about WAR its about who you go to WAR with" End quote. Result 13 Champs You can take all this Bill James Garb and set fire to it. Remember Matt Bush? The list is long and distinguished of Players who are selling used cars who were to be certain analytical hall of famers. There are some telling stats much like the combined Reliever WHIP minus Kimbrel of 1.6. 9 10 last 19 and more holes than swiss cheese. Thanks Dave, Ben Crockett and Allan Baird

    Cora doing his best Dusty Baker impression with Sale over 110 pitches in the 9th Luv the bullpen hey fans, thanks DD
  3. MADSTORK
    Hembree in NY priceless!
  4. MADSTORK
    Swihart has zero value Should have been traded out of the gate for another Reliever 8 9 last 17 games with the three stooges in the pen giving it up Zero prospects to deal for any significant return now or at the deadline ERod is the trade chip and or Pomeranz for a RHSP but again your Tax strapped with all the bad deals

    The Manager they never should have gotten rid of in the first place Francona Not to mention the GM who should have never been let go as well Thanks Larry

    Just remember this name next winter “Harper”
  8. MADSTORK
    You better hope Jesus speaks to the diva and convinces him to opt out. After the way he spoke of Ortiz years ago he should never have been brought to Boston! That is a fact and the facts are undisputed
  9. MADSTORK
    I’ve said it before I’ll say it again, for the money your paying the diva u could have gone after Cueto and the Shark back in 16. Cueto far better pitcher and the Shark although not an elite arm but has been durable and Both RHP. Factor that in with Sale Pomeranz and Eddy R, far better starting 5 than what u have now!

    The entire Minor League Developmental System needs to be rebuilt. Baird and Crockett must go. Fresh faces are needed to revamp the scouting department much like Epstein did back in 03. Not being able to develop pitching has been the downfall. Result over pay, over trade as we have seen in this “win now”market.

    I hope your glad when the option vest and Harper signs with NY for 10 mill more than what Boston offered.. Hanley is a Bust!
  12. MADSTORK
    Call David Price like it is “Bust”! One should hope After 3 seasons in Boston he wants out and will opt out. Thanks Dave
  13. MADSTORK
    Blame the GM who has kept this pitcher on the roster. 1.5 career whip says it all. 30 seconds between pitches is a joke thus the balk . Garbage pitcher!
  14. MADSTORK
    Vintage Hembree Thanks Dave

    Since when do the stars align? Starting Pitching will be the downfall of Dombrowski and Ownership. ERod is inconsistent as they come and injury prone. Pomeranz will not survive with only two pitches which limits your advantage as a Pitcher. Price does not have the mental makeup to pitch in Boston and at the moment is the first "big money bust" free agent under the DD watch. Bullpen outside of Kimbrel is inconsistent but I don't blame DD here. I blame DD for not re-vamping the Minor League Development system by ridding themselves of Baird and Crockett who have yet to produce any pitching, starting or relieving of substance. DD missed the boat last year by not acquiring Verlander. Again, thanks to prior Free Agent bust acquisitions in Sandoval Ramirez Rusney by another GM the Organization was taxed out of acquiring an elite Pitcher. When the Yanks make a push in next years free agent pool for Star players, You know where DD will be?
  16. MADSTORK
    2 5 last seven games Pitching now becoming a liability both relief and starting. Somebody better fault somebody
  17. MADSTORK
    When did we hire Farrell back?
  18. MADSTORK
    I state facts. Fact is the bullpen outside of closer was not addressed. The same starting staff (minus Sale in 16) is 1 6 in playoff games. Sox add Martinez without mentioning other Teams have added equal or greater depth. Yankees Angels Astro's Guardians Twins and Mariners all have equal or far better talent. It comes down to Starting Pitching, your 8th inning set up and Closer during a playoff run. The Redsox have done nothing to address the latter outside of Closer. Far more greater concern is the lack of Scouting Drafting and Development of Pitching within the Organization. Dombrowski's first move should have been to revamp the Minor League development system but he didn't. Baird, Crockett and a host of other evaluators should have been replaced much like Epstein did in 03-04 in Boston then again in Chicago. Boston is a Playoff Contender not a Championship Contender as constructed at the moment But that is ok. Some fans and Posters like a playoff contender
  19. MADSTORK
    Hard to justify Tampa and Miami as legit major league lineups Outside of Kimbrel the BP is a train wreck Starting pitching will be suspect with a lefty dominate staff not to mention the injury history of Price Rodriquez and Pomeranz I keep it in perspective the pink hats do not !

    Truth hurts doesn’t it?

    Hembree 8IP 8H 5ER Reed 8IP 1ER 9K Priceless
  22. MADSTORK
    Blackmon received 21 million the next 3 yrs for twice the production. Ramirez with a .750 OPS the last 3 yrs does not warrant a vesting option no matter what the Stats say this summer. I like Ramirez as a person while in Boston but the bottom line is his tenure here in Boston has been a bust. If Ramirez is hitting for power come the deadline you attempt to move him to a contending team before the vesting option becomes an issue if you can? Harper is the big fish next winter as is Donaldson (unless he drops off a cliff) to play 3B moving Devers to 1B with Moreland as your defensive replacement. This Team will be payroll strapped even further if Ramirez is allowed to vest..
  23. MADSTORK
    Mop up Duty 11 of 14 IP were with a 4 run or more lead
  24. MADSTORK
    The great Joe Kelly in 2017 while pitching the 7th and 8th innings a total of 36 IP. The player allowed 15 ER and 18 BB To all those who say those statistics in the late innings is acceptable is priceless!
  25. MADSTORK
    Kelly should have been released, cut, non tendered or whatever anyone wants to call it. I will agree Cora should have pulled him earlier. Again, Kelly should not be on this Roster. That my friend is the fault of the GM
