6/25 Baltimore @ Red Sox

[Spudboy]

I remember that ST when JBJ had a big time and all the media and fans loved him. I was in that wagon, who didn't?. I know that ST means s***, but I remember that he showed great discipline, arm, defense, fundamentals, running skills and the only doubt at the time was if he could develop his power and become a five tool player. It is crazy how times have changed for him. I still have faith on him, hopefully he can come back.

 

Yup. We should all keep in mind that not all hype is accurate and that players develop in a non-linear fashion and at different rates.

 

It may be a fact that he will never hit consistently in the majors. If I were a betting man I would not bet against him. In my view, he is light years ahead of our $72.5 mil. bust in the making. And he is several years younger too!

No f***ing problem. Just so you know that I am not being critical of you. We all know that I can not spell or type!!!!

 

But I do know what you are attempting to say and thought that you would like to know exactly how to say it.

 

Yeah!, and I really appreciate it, Spud.

 

When I signed on this board a couple of years ago, my intention was to write, debate and learn more about my beloved baseball team, and at the same time practice my english a little bit, since nobody here speaks it. As I said, It is hard to practice it around here (Mexico) and a foreign language which is not practiced goes directly to the oblivion, so this board has helped me not only to practice it but learn some slangs (like "s***ing the bed") that you guys use which btw I find really funny LOL!.

Good. English is the language of commerce. At least it was until we sold out to the Chinese.

Correct. They have made a lot moves that these days look horrible. Probably the Moncada deal will work out, but who knows... We are paying prime money for unproven young kids (Although Castillo is not a kid in my book) who are supposedly to have prime talent. Castillo is not remotely near to Puig thus far and some compared them.

Well, all around the globe it is the language of business, that is for sure.

Good on ya for posting in a language that is not your first....... that takes balls......

 

I've lived in a few other countries, and English is my wife's third language....... I butcher two other languages than English..... .

 

It's not easy........ and takes balls to fail publicly sometimes...

Welcome back JBJ!!!!

 

What a cannon.

 

The best I have seen since Reggie Jackson.

 

I had to go back and watch this play just cause of your post...... that was a good throw....... not a bad grab and tag by Swihart too..

[cp176]

I must say a word about my Binky JBJ.

 

I know, I know, he still has to prove that he can hit in MLB.

 

However he made several good plays in RF today ( as well as at least one over throw of a cut-off man ).

 

I was watching with great anticipation when the runner broke from home and tested Bradley's arm. Dumb f***ing move!!!! The throw was by no means perfect ( I have come to expect great throws from him ) as it was off to the right side of the plate where Swihard had to stretch to get it and then dive back to tag the runner.

 

Still, the throw was in the air and on time to nail the stupid Son of a bitch.

 

Most people love to see homers and that's cool. But seeing that throw in his first game back from a positing that is not his strength was exciting.

 

I hope that Bradley can continue to hit well enough to be an everyday player for the Sox. I look forward to seeing more idiotic green lights so I can laugh even more.

 

 

I don't know how it will work out for JbJ but after watching Castillo's all around play and Ramirez in the field, I would be very much in favor of putting him in the outfield and just leaving him alone for awhile. If he hits, what a premium that would be.

Castillo sure looks good from a distance. Our management group looks like they get caught up in the eye candy. He will soon be 28. Maybe he is tradeable. Maybe they can convince somebody else that ehe will be the next superstar.

He reminds them of Deion Sanders. Maybe he likes bling like Deion, or calls himself Prime Time, or maybe his best sport is football.

Thanks man. Well, I try to do my best, sometimes I do it well and sometimes not that much, but most of times I think you guys understand me
