    Sand pile is better than the kitty litter you sit in, but no I have NEVER heard the Red Sox have won, or haven’t won WS, because of the Metrics.

    I love it when a plan comes together intentionally, or not. BAZINGA! One thing I learned early on was how some analyze every word on here just to pounce, and say I gotcha, so once again BAZINGA.

    I know to you it only matters what you think, but that doesn’t carry anymore weight than my opinion. My opinion about Gibson was only about 67, and nothing else, and I know I’m not the only one in thinking that. You’re right, and I have said metrics are to me only good on paper you would use in the bathroom. And with Buckner you have no clue, because the game was NOT TIED when the ball went through his legs. How come you are the only one I have EVER heard with your theory on why the Red Sox have won, or haven’t won WS Titles??

    A blind squirrel could tell you JBJ can’t hit

    What has this got to do with the subject at hand. You already knew the question had been changed before you gave your answer.

    I don’t think those 4 rings the Red Sox have won since 04 have anything to do with stats, and I don’t think the reason the Red Sox didn’t win has anything to to with your stats either. We’ve already gone over this. Bob Gibson was a big reason the Sox didn’t win in 67, and Grand Pa Buckner’s creaky legs was a big reason they didn’t win either, but if you really want to stick to your belief that metrics was the reason the Sox won, or didn’t win then good for you, because in all these years I’ve been a Red Sox fan I haven’t heard that anyone else spout that same theory, so good for you. Some people will believe anything. Come on man!

    It’s just hilarious to me that so many like that kind of soup, and can’t survive without it.

    But what does the eye test tell you?
  9. Old Red
    I like JBJ, but I gave up on him being a good hitter, but you can hang to your hope all you want, but I don’t think this Bloom deal will do anything more than wilt on the vine.
  10. Old Red
    What does the eye test tell you? Do you really need any kind of metrics?

    Your not bashing Cora for doing it, but you do think he’s wrong for doing it. What a vote of confidence. You’ve been against story having to play 2B since he was signed, so you do think Cora is wrong, but don’t dare to say it. Breaking news. Cora doesn’t go on here, and even if he did he wouldn’t care what you think.
  12. Old Red
    It all depends how many guys he leaves on base in those 7 k’s, and how many RBI he gets with those 3 bloop hits.

    Stats never tell the whole story of the final results. Sometimes certain stats would only be useful if put on a piece of paper, and used in the bathroom. How many stats. Do you need to tell you JBJ is not a good hitter?
  14. Old Red
    Grasp at as many straws, or stats as you can, but the only things that counts is results.
  15. Old Red
    Story is the 2B this year as much to your disagreement. Remember I trust Cora, and he knows what he is doing, and your famous statement of I don’t agree with what Cora is doing, but I don’t think he is wrong.
  16. Old Red
    There are not only legit reasons, but every reason to believe that JBJ will not hit, and not to mention that the Sox are paying him more money than they were before. Dalbec is dong the same thing as he did last year in the first part of the season. Don’t know if he will bounce back as he did last year, or if he will even get that chance. Franchy isn’t the answer, and I don’t think Casas is ready at the moment to be called up either.
  17. Old Red
    He is smooth as silk in the OF, but just has a big hole in his bat, and what makes it look worse at the moment is a lot of the other guys have holes in their bats too.
  18. Old Red
    Some posters on here said the reason JBJ couldn’t hit last year was because he was playing with a new team, in a different league, in a different park, and facing different pitchers. Really? So that must be the reasoning that he can’t hit this year too.
  19. Old Red
    So far Franchy has proved he can hit pitching in AAA, and so far he’s proved he can’t hit pitching in the Majors.

    The real Story Land usually opens up in late May. I hope the Red Sox Story Land opens up before then.
  21. Old Red
    The Red Sox tried to give the game away, but Baltimore wasn’t good enough to take it. Keep trying to go through the season without a closer, and they will lose more than they win in a closer situation.
  22. Old Red
    Might not have been a ER, but he did give up a game winning HR in Tampa.
  23. Old Red
    Timing is off from his rest yesterday.
  24. Old Red
    2 Minor League looking offenses going at again tonight. Even Bogey’s not hitting.
  25. Old Red
    Sounds like Sheldon Cooper. Bazinga!
