    Leave it to Harmony to find something negative about the Sox and post it here.
    It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.

    I like Cora more now.
    "Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.


    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    @redsoxstats

    2017 wOBA
    v. L .232, v. R .338 Robby Scott (570K)
    v. L .304, v. R .332 Watson (2/12M?)
    v. L .301, v. R .255 McGee (3/24M?)

    Maybe Scott is good enough?

    I like Scott, and we have several RH'd RP'ers that do very well vs lefties.

    Some of us refer to it as being old school. It will be interesting to see what this new trend in younger managers brings.

    LOL! Not in my opinion. Young or old, they generally are dumb and risk averse, with few exceptions.

    I agree - and also you have always been pretty easy for me to understand. Very clear - very direct. I like that. As luck would have, in most cases I agree with you too. lol

    I appreciate that. It is so much easier to have an agreement if people understand each other.

    WTF is "the Cliff"

    Why do baseball people have to constantly make up new terms/theories/stats?

    Such a simple game to be a fan of. Watch them throw, hit, run and catch.
