Great article with statistical context re: Pedey's ridiculous season:

There are plenty of other great statistical markers in Pedroia’s season. He’s already at 4.6 wins above replacement (WAR) for the season, which gives him his best season since 2013, and with a strong finish, he could equal the 6.3 WAR from his MVP ’08 campaign. His only other better season than 2008 was when he piled up 7.8 WAR in 2011. In other words, Pedroia has a chance to put together his second-best season ever, at least by WAR.


The best part of this season is how he’s been quite valuable with both the bat and the glove. By wRC+, Pedroia has been the 35th -best hitter in baseball (18th -best in the AL), and by UZR (Ultimate Zone Rating), the 12th -best defender (seventh-best in the AL). Most impressive in his defensive performance is his increased range, which had fallen off last year given his hamstring troubles. Among second basemen, he’s been the seventh-best hitter in baseball and the very best defender, again by wRC+ and UZR. Just like in his late-aught’s heyday, he is a force on both sides of the ball.

I'm at the game tonight.

I wasn't going to be "that guy" and wear my Blue Jays hat when they're playing Tampa so I'm in civilian clothes.

Guy at Beer Works complaining about the wait time. You serious, Clark?

Rick porcello's hat

Hanley is terrible at first base even if he doesn't have a lot of errors

 

[smithformeragent]

Guy tossed his hot dog two seats down from us.

MVP of the game goes to fan services for ejecting the fan, bringing kitty litter and disinfecting wipes.

 

[smithformeragent]

Bogearts looks cooked, eh?

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Donate to the Jimmy Fund! Even just $5 it all adds up.

Put $2 in the can outside and my wife just gave another $3 to the guy passing through the stands.

They're going to have to use Kimbrel this game, aren't they?

What is that buzzing noise when the Sox score? Is it the organist????

I find it annoying

It's obnoxious.

I've never been more annoyed at a sporting event than tonight. Constant drunkeness and swearing. People taking selfies. I felt grumpier than Gee Wally.

Down to .306. Just continues to plummet.

But what exactly is that noise? It's bad on TV but much worse at the park.

make sure your volume is turned down pretty low

I haven't been following the Sox closely of late. Is this sarcasm?

16 HR, 76 RBI's, .306, 163 hits, 91 runs seems like a pretty solid year?

I don't watch a ton, but batting .226 over his last 30 games and Mazz has been saying he looks tired/lazy at the plate.

He's been dreadful in August.

April - .290 AVG, .365 OBP, .419 SLG
May - .395, .429. .589
June - .324, .377, .438
July - .288, .359, .471
August - .217, .270, .292

Bradley Jr however has had an even worse August.
.182 AVG, .264 OBP, .333 SLG

Big Papi has a big fan in Bobby Orr

Although he had a Hall of Fame career and is, in the minds of many, the greatest to ever put on a pair of hockey skates, the legendary Bruins defenseman said he’d happily trade places with Red Sox slugger David Ortiz. Asked by WBZ-TV’s Steve Burton who he most admired among Boston sports legends, Orr said he admires Big Papi’s power and the way he connects with fans.

Stats are one thing, but I don't pay attention to a thing that comes out of Mazz's little Mickey Mouse pie hole.
