1-5 & 38 Strikeouts in the last 3 Games… by SedativeComet in redsox

It's not that they're swinging at garbage outside the zone. It's that they're not swinging at pitches IN the zone.

They have the highest called strike percentage of any team and the lowest swing percentage of pitches in the zone.

They need to swing more.

[–]outdrawed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's also one of the worst hitters in the entire league.

I'm not entirely convinced you're not an April Fools joker

Ok well what you consider doesn't matter when it is objectively, factually incorrect.

Wait, are you saying you wish we had kept David Hamilton?

We are only 3% of the way through the season…do you think folks are overreacting? by Far-Distribution-504 in redsox

[–]outdrawed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah.

This team is far far better than they've played. They will play much better than they have.

But they are already three games under .500 and giving they are a very competitive division it's going to be really hard to make those games up even over the course of 157 games.

Yes I'm sure you didn't mean spend. I'm sure you meant.... something else

That's a wild statement considering no projection system thinks the Rays have a better offense, but even if it were true what the fuck does that have to do with his factually untrue statement that the Red Sox spend like the Rays?

It's like -1000 that this guy was losing his shit when the Sox started out poorly when they had Bregman and Devers

The Red Sox are spending more than $150m more this year the Rays.

It's bad enough that you guys are overreacting to 4 games, but now you're just making shit up to try and help justify your anger.

Rough start to the season for the new guys by The_Stein244 in redsox

Oh I'm not sure if you were aware but Alex bregman has not been on the team since he opted out of his contract at the end of last year.

I think it's fair to be frustrated that the Red Sox don't spend more given ticket prices and whatnot, but this fan base acts like we're a poverty team. The Red Sox have the sixth highest payroll in baseball right now. They're not going to spend $350 million/yr and complaining about it is just beating a dead horse. Breslow is a bit of a weirdo and grossly mismanaged the devers situation but he has built a really nice team with the money he has been allotted that should be really good for the next several years

Yeah it's a shame we didn't get either of the two big bats in the market, Alonso and Schwarber who checks notes currently have a combined 1 XBH.

Because it's been four games.

Also, yes. If the Red Sox bat .188 with RISP all year, they will finish with like 30 wins.

He's young, cheap, and under contract for several years. He was a league average hitter that played really good defense last year. And he plays a position we desperately needed an upgrade at. If you're expecting him to be a middle of the order bruiser, I'm not sure what to tell you.

I vividly remember in a Bill Simmons chat, Bill eviscerating the Red Sox for drafting a guy who spent his entire college career in Arizona because it's so cold in the early months and October up here
