    Beat the Giants today Avril 30

    If you had told me in March that the Red Sox would finish April 17-13 and be in a wild card spot, and then asked me what I thought the biggest factor was, I would have said "probably luck". If you had told me they would do it with significant injuries to: Casas (60 day DL) Grissom (misses all...

    Wave of mutilation: The latest injuries

    This Voodoo Bobby stuff is nonsense. The real explanation is that Chris Sale was some sort of Passively Active Green Mile Bad Juju Lightning Rod. Imagine you're Chris Sale. You're riding a bicycle. All of a sudden, you experience an intense flash and are whisked away from reality. In your...

    I guess the malignant demon that was terrorizing Chris Sale wasn’t included in the trade.

    The Amazing Criswell?

    It may be the only way to save him from injury.

    Pittsgburgh 4/21, the Nod Goes to Winck

    If I had to guess, Cora is protecting Yoshida a bit. He’s been a bit better the past couple of games, and maybe doesn’t want the lefty to throw him off whatever mojo he has.

    Pittsgburgh 4/21, the Nod Goes to Winck

    I remember about twenty years ago, someone made the argument for batting pitchers eighth, and that the number nine hitter should basically be a second leadoff hitter. Was that a LaRussa thing?

    Pittsgburgh 4/21, the Nod Goes to Winck

    Wouldn’t be the first time a SOSH member wasn’t sure about the ‘g’ spot.

    Pittsgburgh 4/21, the Nod Goes to Winck

    I’m not sure if it says more about me, or the state of this team that I saw “Reyes, P” in the lineup, and my first thought was “wow, they’re using the pitcher to bat… seventh no less…”

    If you were a ballplayer...

    I had a window of about four years where I was a pretty decent player. I also sucked defensively. If I kept playing baseball, I probably could have been an okay right fielder in high school, with a really pesky bat. A typical game for me was something like 0 for 0, 3 BB, 2 SB. One season I had...

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    Is it still possible to DFA him, and have the following possibilities? 1) no one claims him, and we outright him to AAA - off the 40 man, and his salary no longer counts (like Rusney) 2) someone claims him, and we try to work out a trade and maybe unload some of his salary 3) someone claims...

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    Also, Manfred can fuck right off with his phantom runner rule.

    This bullpen is such a heap of garbage.

    My Ideal Metric - TOTAL bases

    Well, now I know what the w in wOBA means. Meanwhile in another thread… Hank: “someone should invent like an edible food holder… like you can put food in between it, and just eat a bunch of stuff at once that would otherwise be messy… I’m not sure what it should taste like though.” “Bread...
