Actions speak louder than words. The cosmos responds not just to what you ask for, but to the tangible energy and work you put into manifesting those goals.
@Blochead4real 1,000% correct about pitching to the situation, which is why so many metrics are seriously flawed.
However when it comes to record, you have to factor in:
1) Team defense
2) Team bullpen
3) Run support
Gray's Run Supp is 5.06
Cam's is 3.62
2016 Porcello 15-0 with 6+ RS
I enjoy how Sox broadcasters, even tonight, constantly mention the improvement in the hitters' approach by going for oppo line drives. But they never mention it had been DL early in the season telling the hitters to try pulling everything with max LA.
I understand they don't want to point fingers, but facts are facts and it's a huge reason why the team has turned around their season.
@Matheliminated Haha ... yes he owns a lot of things, but more likely they don't want to embarrass DL especially with them still heavily involved in the pitching side.
@FionaMarch1998 Oh damn ... I got it mixed up with Step Brothers!
Tommy Boy is great too!

@HouckssBurner Poor Connor Wong, he knows he'll be sitting a lot when Adley returns. I don't think he'll get demoted though, they won't replace BOTH catchers at the same time.
They won't publicly admit it, but it's quite clear they've dumped the DL approach and gone to outside instructors. They're not trying to pull the ball over the wall every pitch, they're bunting more ever. Did you see Rafaela's bunt attempt in his first AB last night? Never would have happened earlier in the season with DL's lame "bunts are wasted outs" mantra.
@ILuvBrownBoutte@BostonTBA Hopefully it won't happen, but if a losing streak comes he would just as quickly lose the crowd again.
That's how casuals roll ...
