The entire state of Florida seems to have Boston teams by the balls at this point.
6/29 vs MIA - It's Never Enough
- Thread starter simplicio
- Start date
I don't disagree, but who do you want to see? Rafaela was just promoted to WOOstah and hasn't had a AAA AB.
Tough to gage against this poor excuse for an offense, but their pitching looked pretty damn good. They look like a real baseball team.
I think the point is more that Rob Refsnyder batting 3rd is a damning indictment of the teams poor roster construction, not that he can’t hit left handed pitching.
The Red Sox have had some amazing offensive performances that have inflated their run differential, but this team is beyond streaky. They are all or nothing and it has been a whole lot of nothing since the first two games against the Twins.
I’ve never understood this. You hurt a minor leaguer’s development if you call him up to sit on the bench. If he starts, it should accelerate his development unless he’s so completely overmatched that it gets in his head.
Point is they're not as good as their record indicates and is not a team the Red Sox should be getting swept by at home. Teams with a similar RD as them are all hovering around .500.
Not true. They had a -21 going into the series.
Can’t wait until the team with 4, maybe 5, All Star Starters comes into Fenway on the 4th.
They’re gonna win each game by 10 runs
They’re gonna win each game by 10 runs
As the Marlins leave town, their RD is 0; the Red Sox are at +6 That's a minuscule difference and -- with the Marlins playing well and the Red Sox playing poorly, a sweep certainly was in the realm of possibility.
The Red Sox have been getting beaten by teams with poor run differentials all season. Maybe it Boston's that the mirage.
Your initial post in this discussion was this
If you believe that Miami, tied for the second-best record in the NL, is not "that good of a team," you're welcome to that opinion.
As things stand, however, I'm not buying it.

The headline on RedSox.com right now is "Bello stuns fish in finale," and I kept looking at the boxscore to see if I was reading it wrong. I was not reading it wrong.
Uh yeah, that's some serious propaganda right there. I logged on to see the score and thought I misread an alert on my phone and thought maybe the Sox actually won 2-0, not the other way around.
