JRod designated for assignment and Uwa coming up. JRod over the Bern Man should have never made the club out of ST in the first place.

Now there's a point I think we're all in agreement on.Originally Posted by Old Red

The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
he is another meh player but he will be an upgrade over Dalbec.
Yep..staff is not perfect. Everyone saw it but the staff. Ugh
I write fictional stories in my spare time. So don't fact check me. Better?
Run differential is another meaningless stat. Its skewed by our most recent win.
It should be capped at +/- 9.

Other teams have lop-sided wins, too. If you take away ours, then take theirs away, too.
Of course, most teams don't have a 17 run win, but some have large ones.
(Our biggest loss was 7-0.)
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
If he can hit .750 as compared to the .350 Dalbec was hitting, plus .400 is a major improvement.
It's all relative. (Also, our 1B OPS for the season is .763.)

I wouldn't say it's meaningless, but you can definitely make a case that its importance is way overstated, especially with the playoff crapshoot we now have. Last year Arizona with a -15 differential took out the Dodgers and their +207 differential in 3 straight.

Just when Bobby D is on a hot 4 game hitting streak.🤫
Not the most authoritative of hits, mind you. Still, they did require contacting the baseball.

Lots of stats are meaningless without knowing the full picture. The Red Sox are 10th in runs scored, but have about 10 games having only scored 2 runs, or less. Some guys like NOshida, and the RAF Man padded their stats somewhat yesterday, but they certainly haven’t been that good as what their stats are today.
Two of them on ground balls that barely traveled 60 feet and a third hit was off a backup infielder. Not much there to indicate he’s actually hitting the ball any better.
And yet in spite of all that, he still might not get demoted. Because Hamilton and Reyes are still on the team, too…
True, but a small improvement is better than it was at this point. A batting Ave starting with an 0 is not very major league.
At least he’s been making the routine plays at 3B/1B, which is something the others weren’t doing.
The betting shows must have taken a bath on those odds, with LA giving 222 "runs" -- plus, don't forget, "for every five dollars you blow, we promise to light a match and burn 150 more of your bank account dollars."
