Well there is a stat but I don't see how somebody who pitches a max of like 60 innings, most of which is condensed in one inning per game, a year has the potential to swing a team from mid-90s wins to the high 80s.

well the Red sox bullpen is 0 for 1 in 1 game. That's a shitty percentage.

And Andrew Bailey's injury did not have an impact on the game. Melancon probably would've gotten the call regardless.

Edit: The only good that could come from this is a fire Bobby V movement so he has more time to build decks and make wraps and alert Stamford, CT residents of snow emergencies.

Keep telling yourself that. Terry Francona puts Papelbon in there.

Terry Francona was an idiot. This team just has a crappy bullpen that will easily cost them 10+ games. Don't really care to argue VORP.

Whatever you say champ. You obviously seem to have some vested interest, so this little flirting game is cute in a sense.

Fuck it, I'm bored, I already ruined the Bruins Weirdos thread so might as well do it with the Red Sox Weirdos one.

Why is gaining an understanding of advanced metrics stupid? I have never heard you say something to the contrary, just that you don't like them. Seeing as how you are a lawyer, I am curious if you are willing to let that stand. Usually if you want to form a decent counterargument you have to gain an understanding of what you are going against and you have basically resorted to the old sportswriter "Mom's Basement" argument, which falls flat on numerous legs, especially the most basic one of they have no idea what they are talking about when deriding these measures. I figure this bores you so I won't be surprised if you take your backpack and put it over one of your shoulder and go home to sit on your backward facing chair but, hell, at least humor me.

No, too busy humoring me. I have no problem with stats. I find correction of my knee jerk reaction to the shitty bullpen with predictable nerdness boring. But amusing nonetheless.

Frankly, I get the whole moneyball thing, and I get why it sort of works. It has ruined the game of baseball. Games take 5 hours and are unwatchable. And people that talk about WAR and VORP all the time are tiresome.

It's not cool to wear your backpack with both straps on your shoulders.

Now I remember. He saved 3 games as part of the Dodgers' committee when Broxton lost the job.


Was this a self fag-tag?


Not sure. I wanted to get the answer as soon as possible so if anyone else answered I could ask them to kindly check the timestamp.

If you have to ask what a fag-tag is, you can't afford it.

My friend just flipped out because Ellsbury is on his fantasy team. I think Crawford will be back very soon, but this is still tough news for the Sox. And, it's tough news for Ellsbury, because this is his contract year (and he's coming off one of the best years any leadoff hitter has had in recent history).
