various stats on red sox through yesterday's game since b-r won't have today's included yet
offense: .255/.318/.435 for a 99 OPS+not great, and will be worse when today's game is factored in, but not terrible either, and all the slumping players except ortiz have BABIPs way below the average .300. drew's is .190
defensive efficiency: .708so they're actually turning balls in play into outs at a slightly above average rate despite all the goofy errors!
pitching:1.2 HR/9, 4.0 BB/9, 5.8 K/9all below average, whoops

Looks like Boston's 'get old' strategy isnt working out as planned
Mike Cameron might require surgery on his strained abdomen that would sideline the 37-year-old outfielder for at least a month.

You guys in full panic mode! Will be tough to get past either TB or the Original EE, tho.

hopefully reddick is a good CF or our outfield defense is looking pretty bad suddenly. hermida is terrible even in left

rangers stole five bases in the 3rd, including one by andrus one they had pitched out and one where vladi guerrero was the man getting third on a double steal. rangers have now stolen 7 bases in 3+ innings

Red Sox yielded a record 9 SBs tonight (we're only in the 5th inning), tying record set Oct. 3, 1913 at Washington.

xp i don't believe wake allows an appalling amount of stolen bases on his own tho?

the sox should run a promotion at fenway where after sunday afternoon games, any child under 10 can try his hand at stealing off of v-mart or varitek

varitek, speaking about the entire team mobbing darnell mcdonald at second base when he won the game in the ninth:

team uzr is positive so far...
are there any catcher defense metrics yet?
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 15:02 (fourteen years ago) link
hermida leads the team in uzr so far despite having half the playing time, was he robbing doubles out there that i missed or is it just some weird small samplesize result of their new fenway adjustment?
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 15:07 (fourteen years ago) link
uzr is pointless so early in the season.

hermida is the best player on the team

yeah my fav one so far was when he ran down a flyball with plenty of time, settled under it, and then it dropped in 5-10 feet to his left

apparently ellsbury's ribs are fractured not just bruised, so that's both CFs out long-term possibly

dr morbius,
it seems as if you've attempted to make a judgement on the two most unbearable non-yankee fanbases in sports, but failed to mention the fanbases of both the new york mets and the chicago cubs.
this must be some sort of clerical error.
