6/29 vs MIA - It's Never Enough
- Thread starter simplicio
- Start date
Serious question in a game thread: I would rather watch the kids come up and play, like Rafaela and Bello and all of this minor league talent that Bloom says will be the future. Wouldn’t you?
Per the radio the Sox have scored 3 runs this series.
Maybe the hitting coaches will have them prepped for the Marlin's staff in a few days.

Maybe, but it won't happen. They are still in touching distance on the wild card standings and so long as there's a possibility they could find lightning in a bottle or Story helps right the ship, whatever, they are going to keep trying. But we might not be more than a few weeks away from the white flag.
They'll try to scream, but like that poor sucker in 2001, no sound is heard when you're free falling in the vacuum space.
You can only bring up guys on the 40 man. Bello's here, Casas is here, Hamilton's here, Valdez was here and ATM there is no need to rush Rafaela.

I do believe in the intangibles of this sport and I think unfixable damage can be done to a player who comes up too early and struggles mightily. I can see that happening with the current makeup of this roster and the competition that exists in the AL.
These are his numbers against lefties this season. Who would you want to take his place?
Ahh, well, you can't win them all.
I mean, I guess you could. But it's unusual. That's all I'm saying. It's uncommon.

Marlins are 48-34. Reds are also good. 1-5 against the Cardinals and Rockies is bad.
I think for me, the team as constructed now is just not it. I think watching the young guys compete gives me hope for the future.
The Red Sox have a better run differential than them even after getting outscored 18-3 in this series.
Here's the thing: Building a good team is not about you, or fans in general. Risking young talent before it's ready just so the fans will feel better about things is not conducive to development.
So it means they aren't as good as their record indicates and regression is likely?
We have still won more series than we have lost.
So by Cora-math, we're winning.
The amazing communications of the hitting coaches will eventually prevail, I'm sure.
PS - Also, plus run differential as pointed out upthread. Good for Pythag Wins!

Then the standings should be re-ordered by run differential. There's no way of knowing if regression is likely. They could easily just keep getting better as the season goes along
Seems like it, yes. Unless reaching base by operation of rule counts as reaching base.
