Sounds about right. Pitching has been very good. Defense has been very good. We have 6 AAA hitters. And only Duran is the surprise. You heard Breslow. Pitching and defense is our team. This is a lesson in the failure of building a pitching and defense first team.
You are misunderstanding. Its not an aw-shucks , thems the breaks or a coaching or bad luck or finding a way to lose.
We're exactly where we should be. A team that is 4th in pitching, second in defense and 15th in hitting is a 13th (out of 15) team. Hitting > everything.
I dont think thats how fwar works. I dont think contreras is contributing to our fwar from the c position, for example. I think its the guys actually playing and how theyve done when theyve caught. And Fwar doesnt reward bat-first enough. Although maybe at C since the baseline is so low that if you hit decently thats a ton of bonus pts vs baseline. But we are better at fwar than our record would indicate and its not bad luck like you want ot believe. Its cuz a team that cant hit is a team that cant win, but may still have defense and pitching to put up a respectable fwar.
I would bet all my money that sometime, at least once in his life, he has bought a paper. Whether that be notebook, a newspaper, a magazine, a rolling paper.
Be nice to have a catcher who can coach potential catchers coming up through the system....what happened with varitek? I thought we only reassigned him lolololol
yes one of the worst red sox teams of all time in one of the worst ALs of all time, when breslow has now been here for 3 years. Get this man an extension.
