Are we talking fangraphs or baseball ref calcs?
I dunno
The King of TalkSox has Spoken.
That is why we sent Kimmi over here. JUST KIDDING!
I know it makes it more interesting to watch and back when I did play the game, it rattled the lesser ballers when the Lord Mercury was able to steal on us.
I do agree with S5, it's smarts, too. They are all using a gene that my memory says the old Sox rarely used. Smart, involved, understanding what was going with the pitcher's motion, speed, etc. .... I'm resisting repeating myself or like minded ones ...
It's fun ... no matter who is right
SnC ... prayer not received as desired.
There is absolutely no doubt about it.... so many guys on this team who are doing some heads up running. So many runs scored from 1st to home, mainly because of hustle & heads up running. Lots of SB by Mookie & XB. JBJ is a threat, but not near as quick off the blocks. Hanley, with so many heads up 1st to 3rds. Lots more hit & runs.
It's not just the power#'s, they are becoming a constant threat on the base paths. Really great & exciting to see!
i will admit it. i will disappointed when they break the streak of double digit runs.....

I'll be maybe a little sad to see it go, but if the team keeps winning I won't care that much. If the team loses 14-11 I don't care about double digit runs our team scores.
If history tells us anything, the path to redeption for any bad baseball team is marked with a deep rotation of durable starters, a world class defense in both infield and outfield, a lineup that can generate runs in more than one way, a bullpen that won't steal defeat from the jaws of victory, and a top end catcher to hold the whole package together. These are the conditions by which victory is achieved, anything that does not accomplish these objectives is a waste of resources.
The offensive explosion is great, but the story last night was the good performance by Price.
Nope, not at all!

His analysis of Price's delivery was excellent.
But he was babbling at the very end of his time in the booth, so I can still hate him.

I can't make myself hate Roger Clemens. He was too central a part of growing up in New England for me. It'd be like trying to hate Larry Bird.

Clemens is no Larry Bird.

He was before he found the path to the dark side. There's part of me that can't look at the villain without seeing the former hero, if you can forgive the incredibly cheesy line.

The Sox are definitely spoiling us here, eh? I'll admit to feeling the same way as you, though of course mentally one agrees with Dojji: let's just keep racking up the W's.
