@oregon Norm I keep stats for a 12 team senior softball league and have a similar issue made worse by the fact that the overall league batting average sits a bit .500 with OBP a few points higher (not a lot of walks in slow pitch). What I did was take ISOp for the power (or in this case Extra Base Factor -XBF since some guys turned singles to doubles because they could run well while others turned home runs into doubles because they couldn't). Add that number to OBP and the result passed the eye test for what we thought of hitters better than OPS.

I swear, all the Sox hitters would hit 60 homeruns each of they all played here 81 times a year.

I really hope that Xander at one point had "X GON GIVE IT TO YA" as his walkup music.

Ohh boy. Wonder if this changes the percentages a bit on winning this game.... This is the game we were up 5-0 too. So frustrating. Will remember that one if we lose and it ends up mattering. We need to hit like 6 home runs in that game and win 15-2 just for the principle of the thing.

interesting inning here for Eovaldi. These guys are on him so far. Some bad luck too, but they were battling him good.

Bahhhh I thought the Sox should have bunted with Butler there.

The "TBD" matchup is 70/30, while Eovaldi/Bundy is 68/32... So am I to infer that, all things being equal, they favor Bundy over Eovaldi? It looks like the entire difference is that the Red Sox have a travel penalty and the Orioles do not. They probably factor in all the possible likely matchups.

Anyone else feel like the runner should try to steal at least 75% of the time whenever Mookie is up with 2 outs and a runner on first? Worst case he leads off a clean inning.

i don't know....JD has been great, a savior of sorts....but Mookie is the league's MVP this year. i think he will win it pretty handily.

Eovaldi not looking quite as sharp so far as we've seen

You could tell yesterday pretty quickly that Porcello didn't have it. The walks were a dead giveaway.
Looks the same for Eovaldi. Leadoff walks, behind in the count. The Sox lead will disappear really soon. Eovaldi doesn't have it.

I hope this game doesn't get too far away. Eovaldi just doesn't have it.
