Hard disagree. I maintain that if it wasnt for the Bregman injury, this team would have figured it out - and still may. There is a lot of talent on this team. There wasnt last year, but Bregman, Crochet and even Navraez were huge additions. I do not agree on punting on next year or even tempering expectations for next year. I also dont believe we should punt on this year.

I dont think Farrell has ever said one thing in his life that wasnt a cliche.
-
Who are you, Jesse the Body?
-
Nevermind, looks like you were already there (see my previous post)

Can we meet in the middle that bad fundamentals have made contributed to the Sox being a 500 team or below I dont want to dismiss your point, but if presented as the sole reason, I cant get behind it. It was also (in my eyes) complacency with mediocrity (e.g. not aggressively pursuing deadline upgrades, keeping mediocre players like Verdugo around for too long...)
-
what about the gWAR?
-
Toro somehow has an 889 OPS vs RHP.
-
Well , ride him when he's hot 100%
-
Sure, but Duran vs L / Rafaela vs R, I dont think are not Toro bad in my opinion. Could be wrong
-
Because 4 of this teams best 7 players are outfielders.
-
Either are fine with me.
-
Its based on Durans overall importance to team and Abreus strong rookie year + continued success this year.
-
I hope not
-
Yup, dont even want him trying to cover 3rd if Breggie misses time. Right to Mayer (or KC)
-
This is gonna end with Connor Seabold getting claimed, isnt it?
-
I have difficulty with Povich in the show. Not sasaki level, but a lot
-
undefeated, probs
-
I didnt even know there was a game on right now

I do not think its weird to suggest that increased strikeouts are contributing to runs being down. I do not think its weird to suggest that strikeouts are increasing because approaches have changed. I do not think its weird to think that recent trends in approach (in this case more power, less contact) may do more harm than good. I do not think its weird to suggest that every change/trend/shift is not always for the better. I would disagree that offense is down for [insert any reason]. I think nothing in life happens for a singular reason and everything that has ever happened, happened because of a multitude of reasons. I believe we live in a world of infinite variables. If you took my comment for suggesting that [insert any reason] is the singular reason why offense is down, then you dont know me. Im more likely to overthink the simple than oversimplify the complex. Im Jewish. I dont think I ever answered a question without first going "Hmmmm.....(beard stroke)..."

Its not weird to suggest that a large part of the reason why offense is down is because todays changeups are yesterdays fastballs and the sweeper moves so freaking much and teams are pulling their pitcher before the dreaded third time through the lineup. And you know this.

Even Josh Bell is a first baseman because he is a bad defender. At some point in his career, he was moved to first base because hes a bad defender (it may have been college but still). Roman Anthony is a better hitter and a better defender. To advocate for Josh Bell over Roman is like saying I want the worse hitter and worse fielder and worse player on my team. Why? Because he was forced to move to first base a while ago and now has a "1B" after his name. You arent going to ruin RA or MM or KC playing them at first base for a year. They arent going to be so bad at first base that they send your team into a tailspin. Theyll probably pick it up and be a better firstbaseman than any current "first baseman" because the reason they are not "first baseman" is because they were never the worst defender on their team. Dont trade LaRoche for Kotchman and justify it by saying LaRoche was too good to be a backup and we needed a backup.
-
Not against it, just against giving at-bats to a mediocre player over Roman or Mayer or Frosty-the-snowman-nixon or whoever is swinging a hot bat who we could call up jsut because such mediocre player is a worse defender and was therefore kicked to first base a while ago. Because "he's a first-baseman"
-
Well pitching improvements are a big reason why, so its not particularly fair to judge what worked in 1979 vs today. Part of the very reason why teams are selling out for power is because offense is down so if you are going to crack it, take the guaranteed runs cuz you cant count on those guys behind you to move you along, small ball you in or even get a hit, cuz pitchers are freaking nasty these days. So if you get a mistake , punish it. That being said, Im not necessarily endorsing everything current - but I do err on the side of new school generally

How Should Breslow/Cora Fit Anthony Onto the Boston Red Sox?
drewski6 replied to mvp 78's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Disagree with the bold, agree with the rest. Why do people want Devers to play 1B? Because its an easy position to play, and Devers is not a D-first player. But it doesnt have to be him. It can be literally anybody except the guys who are out there because of their D (Cedanne, Narvaez). It doesnt need to be Raffy and if Raffy is slugging , I agree leave him be. Put anyone there. Roman? Fine. Campbell? Fine. Story? Fine. Mayer? Fine. Bregman? Fine. Trottsynixon Garcia? Fine. People want Devers because everyone else is too good defensively to waste at 1b and I think thats a mistake. We arent trying to have the most ideal defensive alignment possible. -
