Forum Post: Release Mike Napoli!
Cross your fingers, basically, and hope he's like Bay in 2009. Bay had 2 great months, then 2 horrible months, then 2 more great months. Then we can all say 'that's baseball, folks!'.

Forum Post: One more time: why are LH hitters better against RH pitchers and RH hitters better against LH pitchers?
This question has come up before but I'm not sure I've ever seen a definitive answer. The funny thing is that it's one of the gospel truths about baseball but nobody ever talks about why it works tha more »

In response to moonslav59's comment: Hitting in the clutch is really not a sustainable skill, in my opinion. That's one reason I have to chuckle when posters blame the GM for not acquiring clutch hitt more »

Forum Post: Biggest Surprises of the 1st Half
I think Lackey is definitely the biggest surprise. As for Iggy hitting over .400 this long, I would call that more of a phenomenon. One of those oddities that occurs in baseball for a period of time more »

In response to BOSOX1941's comment: Way back in the 50s, fans liked to insinuate that Yogi Berra was a better clutch hitter than Ted Williams. A sports writer did a study and found that, in the "clut more »

Forum Post: Overrated stats - HR's, K's, RBI - truth or fallacy?
I've been reading quite a few comments this year on the question of whether or not HR's and K's are overrated. Just look at yesterday's game thread for examples. I'm going to add RBI to the mix becau more »

Forum Post: Can We Please Trade for Papelbon!?
I was interested in this at one point but Paps loss of velocity and K's this year is a major red flag. He's also blown 4 saves in the last couple of weeks.

Yeah, a lot of guys contributing is a great thing. Last night was a perfect example. Drew with a 2-run triple, Gomes with the huge pinch-hit. Cherington deserves a lot of credit, he seems to have h more »
