Yeah, and I think they also might have written a book about the movie or something.

I like that this statistacal oddity is noted. But it’s still a spring training game.

I mean, we’re talkin’ about practice!

In other words, Red Sox fans should not get excited if their team has a good record in the Grapefruit League.

I’m sure “great spring training manager” is a real thing and the differences had nothing to do with a small sample size and playing a bunch of minor-leaguers in spring training.

Careful people, he went to my high school, which also produced Robin Yount and Larry Dierker, as well as Lisa Kudrow. She wasn’t as good a ballplayer, but is probably funnier and smarter.

One thing that I have noticed about Boston manager John Farrell, is that he is a great spring training manager but is not as good in the regular season.. Last season, his team had the best record in the Grapefruit League.

‘Leagues, you need to watch Moneyball. That’s where “Greek God of Walks” comes from

Yup.

It’s going to be a year of watching the poor-sport team in beer league softball who don’t swing at anything….only offense is walks and singles and one or two guys who can actually hit.

That he is – he’s not actually Greek at all – his ancestors were Romanian Jews who fled Cossack persecution to Greece and changed their names.

But he’ll still always be Euclis, the Greek God of Walks.

The Sox are just showing their moneyballs. Even though the Greek God of Walks limped over to Fort Apache, they still know how to take a free pass.
