    there should definitely be a better way, and like Moon said, historical games could even be reanalyzed.
  2. JimEd
    fourth in revenue and eleventh in payroll. hmmmm.....
  3. JimEd
    didn't think about that. you're probably right.
  4. JimEd
    as it stands, W/L is no perfect measure, but there should be a better way to quantify a "win" for a pitcher -especially since it's a stat that's not going away and so many people look to.
  5. JimEd
    how many games would Steve Carlton won in 1972 with a decent team behind him? amazing that he took 27 of the teams 59 wins.
  6. JimEd
    true, but i do wish there was a better way to award the "win" to somebody to make it more important. Sox pitcher pitches 8 no-hit innings and leaves with his team ahead 1-0, then a reliever -lets call him Ryan Braiser- enters in the top of the ninth, gives up a run to tie the game. then the Sox win in the bottom of the ninth and Braiser gets the win. WTF? it's stupid.

    sorta the same, but i'd pour over and dissect the box score in the paper the next day. my brother had a paper route, so i'd have access to the papers before all of my neighbors. the good ol' days. LOL.
  8. JimEd
    the first season i remember watching and why i became a Red Sox fan.
  9. JimEd
    yeah, i'm with you on Arenado. i think he's definitely on the downhill side of his career. i'd be ok with swapping him for Yoshida, maybe, but not giving up anything to do so. i don't get this about Cora -his apparent unwillingness to shift Devers off of 3B. it's strange.
  10. JimEd
    it's all good. i've said several times that i wish i had your optimism. every team makes bad decisions and the Sox are no different, but probably my biggest problem with Henry is not spending money that he clearly has to spend. if they were small market and didn't have it to spend then it would be different.
  11. JimEd
    clearly not. like everyone else, i was happy he returned, but i'm not sure it's made any difference.
  12. JimEd
    well said. the decisions they make (and don't make) can be truly mind-numbing. so much for Theo bringing back some sanity to this organization.
  13. JimEd
    spent over $52M, but how much went off the books from last year? isn't payroll about the same or less than last year?
  14. JimEd
    anything else that happens will be via trade. John The Con just can't seem to let his dollars go.
  15. JimEd
    Papi says the Sox never even offered Soto $600M. meaning they were full of s*** about being seriously interested in signing him. f*** you John Henry, you lying POS.
  16. JimEd
    yeah, Gaspar is no big loss. does leave us really thin at catcher though.
  17. JimEd
    The Red Sox just traded Gaspar for Twins pitcher Jovani Moran who is -get this- recovering from TJS.
  18. JimEd
    might be, Abreu and a couple of them you mentioned not named Mayer. i don't subscribe to BTV, but i'd be curious as to how those would work there.
  19. JimEd
    i wouldn't. that's nuts.
  20. JimEd
    LOLOL...and we all know that's not happening.
  21. JimEd
    Henry's approach is baffling. supposedly Price and Sale burned him on ever signing a long & large contract because they were both hurt all the time. so, he dumps them (and Mookie) and then proceeds to sign.... nothing but injured pitchers.
  22. JimEd
    Walker's negative 1.3 bWAR last year had to have impressed them. or maybe it was his injury history that sold them.
  23. JimEd
    i know i would.
  24. JimEd
    yep, but they would have been "interested" for sure.
  25. JimEd
    he's the very definition of a window shopper.
