    Undoubtedly so, imo. This is our sOPS+ by batting order position. Split sOPS+ Batting 1st 70 Batting 2nd 74 Batting 3rd 91 Batting 4th 115 Batting 5th 97 Batting 6th 108 Batting 7th 100 Batting 8th 99 Batting 9th 106 The lead-off and the 2-slot are by far our biggest weaknesses. We are 29th in OPS at the 1-hole and 27th in OPS in the 2-hole.

    Are y'all arguing about who was the first to quit?
  3. JoeBrady
    And my point continuing to be that Story was going to be our starting SS this year. When people start looking back with 20/20 vision, it should start with 'who can reasonably have been replaced'. Story, Narvaez, and Anthony were always going to be the Red Sox 2026 regulars. And those are three of our biggest problems.
  4. JoeBrady
    Every year is a long shot for a ring.

    Personally, I like the ride. I don't mind tanking, if I see no road, but this doesn't feel like it.
  6. JoeBrady
    We have 8 guys that *might* be able to pitch, including Crochet, Bello, and Sandoval. If we lose rookies due to an innings limit, they could be useful. If we really knew their status.

    Good. I appreciate the remark. It's like with the Yankees losing Judge and Fried, and not being able to win. It doesn't mean that they are a bad team, or failed to have a contingency plan. In addition to Story, Duran, and Anthony, we also lost the #2 CY from last year.
  8. JoeBrady
    Every time we win, we move closer to being buyers rather than sellers. But still plenty of time. If Pitt was going to do something stupid with Bubba or Hernandez (they won't), then I'd make the move and worry about it later. Outside of that, I can easily wait two+ weeks before making a decision.
  9. JoeBrady
    I don't see it, but I don't think it's ridiculous. Three real players, but none are a lock to be regulars.
  10. JoeBrady
    The second rule of thumb is that, if you are given $42M in spending money, you do not tell your boss you are going to spend it on a SS that was worse than the one you currently have. No one on the entire planet would've spent $42M+ to replace Story with Bichette.
  11. JoeBrady
    So your take here is that we were going to cut or bench a 4.1 bWAR Story in favor of a 3.2 bWAR Bichette (or equivalent)? And his $42M+ contract? C'mon, everyone knows that Story was the presumptive starter.
  12. JoeBrady
    That's basically saying that you're going up against a better team.

    I read a lot of medical stuff on-line, but I need to at least be at the ballpark before I make an expert medical diagnosis.
  14. JoeBrady
    Every GM has default starters from the previous year. The idea that any GM would bench Story and bring in someone like Bichette, or any other SS, is a non-starter.
  15. JoeBrady
    I have my candy money in my hand and demand you open the door.

    Anticipating that he might get injured is legit, but that's what IKF is there for. Anticipating that he'd have a .547 is not legit.
  17. JoeBrady
    Does anyone want to explain this?
  18. JoeBrady
    He had a .547 before getting injured, about 200 points worse than last year. My abacus considers that unexpected.
  19. JoeBrady
    If you have a player that will be out temporarily, you generally go with your best bench player.
  20. JoeBrady
    And that's always the problem. I'd say roughly 20% of the teams know if they are contenders or out of it. If I were the RS, I'd start adding on the cheap. Maybe another RP who could be flipped at the deadline, if necessary. Or maybe a RH slugging DH with no other skills.
  21. JoeBrady
    Is the shoe supposed to come off? I thought compression was part of the treatment?
  22. JoeBrady
    Probably because we are starting to hit. Over the past 28 days, 14th in OPS. Over the past 14, #16. Over the past 7, #8. The past 7 & 14 are BABIP influenced, but the last 28 looks legit.
  23. JoeBrady
    Future HOF players that Breslow traded away for nothing?
  24. JoeBrady
    Outstanding write-up. Thanks.
  25. JoeBrady
    I will defer to your wisdom on such a vital issue.
