    Feats of Mookie - 2024 Angst & Awe

    I love Mookie, still my favorite baseball player in MLB. Rather than peppering the former Sox thread with highlights of his 2024 season, I figured I'd start a thread to give this forum a place to discuss his performance and all the emotions it brings to the surface. He's, uh, off to a good...

    The Brady (Anderson) Bunch

    This is partially motivated by the stars that faded away thread, but I thought it would be an interesting counterpoint to remember players that were largely mediocre who had, for reasons known or unknown, a single crazily awesome season. And of course, I'll start the thread with Brady Anderson...

    Stars that faded away...

    I was going down a rabbit hole earlier today and I stumbled across the fact that Felix Hernandez never actually retired. I thought he retired after the 2019 season (his last with the Mariners) but he signed a minor league contract in January 2020 and opted out of the season in July citing...

    Rafael is Cool but Rude (2021 Thread)

    We're 82 games into the season and Raffy just hit his 20th home run and knocked in his 69th RBI. He's 94th percentile in average exit velocity and 97th percentile on hard hit percentage. He's barrelling the ball at 17.1. Let's discuss. Edit: premature and incomplete posting but that's what I...

    Feats of Mookie

    He's no longer a Red Sox, but he's still my favorite player in baseball. Different board, same purpose - let's talk about how great Mookie is (for as long as he continues to be great, and then even when he's not). Mookie's current 2020 stats: fWAR: 1.8 (3rd in MLB, 10.4 per 150 game pace)...

    The Curious Case of Jose Altuve

    While poking around on Fangraphs I discovered that Jose Altuve is currently sitting at a career-high 30 HR and a career-low 6 SB. At first blush, this wasn't very surprising - Altuve was out with a hamstring injury earlier in the year and is getting older to boot, so it's expected that he would...

    Mookie BBetts - 2019 Campaign

    Rather than glom onto last year's Mookie thread, I thought it would be helpful to have a new one so that we could discuss Mookie's 2019 season. First, some stats to get us started: YearRHRSBTBfWARbWAR 20159218212864.85.9 201612231263598.39.7 201710124262885.36.4 2018129323033310.410.9...

    The Legend of Xander

    Rather than dig up the Bogaerts vs Gregorious thread (and thereby constantly invite the comparison the thread title implies), I figured I'd start a thread where we could look at Xander's 2018 performance and analyze it relative to his career norms. For starters, qualitative and quantitative...

    Super Benintendi

    With the ongoing Mookie Betts splooge-fest thread, I thought I'd start a thread for Benintendi where we can analyze his 2018 performance. In the midst of the offensive onslaught the Sox have unleashed on the league so far in 2018, Beni's contributions have seemed muted so far. Qualitatively...
