A team with this payroll, and with this record. Only in Boston?
-
Refs are bad in football. Refs are bad in basketball, and umps are bad calling strikes in baseball, which is just the human nature, and yes players can be bad as well.
-
Early, early, early opinions on Casas so far?

No it is not Ort’s fault he was brought into the game, or on the team for that matter that is on Cora, and Bloom, but it is Ort’s fault that he just plain sucks. -
5-7-11 5 games from 500 7 games in the L column from LAST PLACE in the Div. 11 games in the L column from the LAST Wild Card Spot These numbers keep getting bigger, bigger, and bigger, and yet No one has lost their job. Unbelievable!

I’m sure MLB has heard lots of negative feedback on the subject, and they wouldn’t be doing it otherwise.
-
That too!
-
I think he was talking about the way the game is played, and not the results the Red Sox have had the last 20 years.
-
That I agree with 100%.

I understand all your points, but it’s over, and the shift will no longer be. Now you can do what I’ve been doing for a few years now. Which is watch the shift in games, and complain about it, or not watch at all. Now the shoe is on the other foot, so next year it will be watch with no shift, and complain about it, or not watch at all.

Joe Madden was right when he said some of the analytics boys should come down to the dugout sometime to see what really goes on, and not just sit at a computer.
-
How do the analytics departments value the good ole small ball like hit, and run, bunting, and stolen bases?
-
All this big influx of shift movement was analytics driven. Going up 50,000 shifts in a ten year period to boot. Bringing Paul Blair in on the IF dirt would be the same comparison not if he was deep, or shallow. As far as I can figure the 2B can go over, and stand next to the 1B if he wanted to, but their spikes have to be in the IF dirt.
-
Not quite the same thing. It’s like someone here in a earlier discussion that said guarding the 1st and 3rd base line was like the shift. No that’s not either. I love the ban. Congrats for MLB for doing it.
-
To me the best thing about the rules changes is to get some control back from the geeks, and nerds, and banning the shift. Yes I know the shift has been around for over 100 years, but when shifts go up 50,000 in a ten year period that is to me analytical driven. If you want to watch 4 OF, or someone in short RF, which Story plays often then go watch softball. I’m all in 100% for all the rules changes.

3-6 10 3 games under 500 6 games back in the L column for last place in the Div. 10 games back in the L column for the last Wild Card spot. Won’t get to 500. Will end up in last place in the Div. Will not make the playoffs. Playoffs?Did someone say playoffs? Put a fork ‘em. They’re done!
-
+ side of 40.
-
Some cities would love to have a team like Tampa, but no one shows up to watch them either. Near the bottom in attendance in all MLB.
-
Get rid of all of them.
-
That’s what I figured.
-
How come you stoped at 14, and didn’t go 15 years?
-
Actual attendance is down, and so is NESN ratings.
-
John Henry’s rabbit ears would tell you that you are wrong.

At the time I said to trade Bogey I wasn’t aware that his no trade had kicked in, but I feel the same way, and that goes for Raffy too. I don’t know what Bogey has, or will ask for, but if the last lowball offer to Bogey is the only one then JH will get crucified. Same with Raffy. If Wong turns out then the trade won’t look as bad as it did.

Some of those crybaby fans shell out big bucks to go to Fenway, and to me they have more of a right to do so then those who don’t. I myself don’t mind being called a crybaby fan.
