Everyone made fun of Tom Werner in November for saying, "with better defense, we would've won 8 to 10 more games". In only 13 games, there have been 4? 5? That we would have won with good defense. Team is 7-6 and should legitimately be 11-2. it is an interesting way of looking at it, and i kind of agree. But, it just kind of assumes all baseball luck goes in your favor, IMO. in the end, is this squad really built for a championship level run. When i think of 11-2 teams, that is a championship level club. I just don't see it, as currently constructed.

We have a plus SS, Cora is playing him in the outfield. We have 3 MLB starting caliber outfielders with Rafaela at SS, but we do not have a starting caliber SS with Rafaela in the outfield.

Duran should steal home. Practice.

Work has been insane this week. When I turned on the game last night, they were up 5-0. Tonight they were up 2-1. I’ve watched them get outscored 15-1 in two nights. Should probably stop tuning in. I’m getting a complex.

Kevin Millar with the gagging empty obvious platitudes. I hope they are done with him on broadcasts for awhile.

Just a brutal series — brutal. I really try to be the optimistic fan, but damn — I really don’t know if there’s a reprieve coming anytime soon if the bullpen can’t hold leads and you can’t field ball…

Are we allowed to revise our win predictions?

I’m getting a complex. Umm… are you starting to see a common denominator? They scored a run while I was looking at my phone writing that. :/ In seriousness the common denominator is groundhogs day. Don’t make plays on defense and don’t throw strikes… bad things happen.

I blame the eclipse “Since the eclipse: Celtics lose badly twice, the Bruins lose at home and this 3-game sweep of the Sox by the Orioles “

The defense is horrendous, but seriously averaging 3 runs a game at Fenway just can’t happen.

In reality, our position player roster -
Major league talent - Wong, Casas, Devers, Duran, O'Neill, maybe McGuire Borderline - Abreu, Valdez, Hamilton, Yoshida (until he proves he can hit for a full season), Reyes, Gonzalez Not ready yet - Rafaela Remains to be seen - Grissom
That just won't do it, folks.

The one thing I don’t want is to hear Cora making excuses for this one like he did earlier. It wasn’t the young guys making the mistakes. Reyes is a veteran, Hamilton isn’t a kid. They need to start making them accountable
