A Realistic View at 2019: Part I

[Bellhorn04]

I never stated that.

 

I said the the sox were at the forefront of having doctors teaching their players how to correctly use steroids........

 

You don't know any such thing.

[notin]

Funny, I don't remember Mariano's name on any list. I also don't recall him bulking up and drastically having his performance improve.

 

And the mitchell report is a sham.

 

How do you think the report would have looked if Hal Steinbrenner headed it? You think maybe a few more sox players and a few less Yankee players??!!

 

 

Whether or not the Mitchell Report is a sham is irrelevant in a discussion about Pettitte using steroids. Since Pettitte ADMITTED USING and all.

 

The goalposts were fine where they were...

You think the forefront of steroids in baseball was 1998.................. LOL

 

this should be added to your signature.

I'm sure we'll hear it over and over again now though.

 

It made more sense for him stanning for random twitter dudes than this stuff. LOL........................

If I added all his nonsense to my signature, it would melt the server. LOL...........................

Andy didn't admit to steroids.........

Well, we haven't read any reports of any other teams hiring doctors to do so..... or at least that I have read about.

Sorry. It was HGH.

Good to see a lot of actual starters getting some playing time today.

Good to see a lot of actual starters getting some playing time today.

 

Chavis with another 3 run homer today, his third.

 

Dalbec had two hits.

 

Darwinzon Hernandez pitched two scoreless innings and struck out 3, walked one, two hits.

 

Do NOT trade Chavis.

I guess his stock is now at an all time high after just 4 spring training games!

Mock all you want Moon. He has proven power. You criticize our minor league talent but are unwilling to develop the talent in it.

 

I guess you rather see him strike out every f***ing time so you can be critical.

 

How do you expect young players to showcase their talent? Spring training in front of major league manager and his staff is one venue.

 

Oh by the way, Cora took notice. He didn't say "well f***, he's a hall of famer after 4 spring training games!"

I was against the Kimbrel & Pom trades.

 

Sorry, if I'm not gushing over a PED user.

 

I've never said Chavis will never amount to anything, although I have suggested trading him often.

 

I'm a big Mata fan. I like Dalebec and Danny Diaz. I like Feltman, Hernandez & others, but I'm not going to kid myself into believing our farm is good (not that you are).

 

I'm okay with keeping Chavis & Dalbec in hopes that one or both can fill our 1B position next year at a very low cost. If JD bolts, maybe both can win a role. It doesn't look like DD is going to trade one for a RP'er right now, and I'm fine with the plan.

 

[Larry Cook]

Watching brewer throw is a form of torture.

 

When his control is on, he is decent. When his control is off, he is a train wreck.

 

We need to keep chavis at Pawtucket this year. If he has a good year, we can bring him up next year after Moreland, Pearce and Nunez move on.

[Slasher9]

if he keeps raking DD will trade him for someone. my guess is a RPer.

[a700hitter]

But papi gets a free pass............

Pettitte is an established cheater, a blatant hypocrite, and a rat. He has very low character.

Disagree entirely. He did cheat, but he owned up to it. Low character is Clemens who continues to maintain his innocence and even threw his own wife under the bus

[cp176]

i'm happy to see some of these young guys showing something of their talents. I will continue to think that there is some pretty good talent in our farm system. I love seeing the early power from both Chavis and Dalbec - I don't mind at all if the pitching they are facing isn't the best in ml baseball just yet. There is good potential there. Some of the young pitching talent shows promise as well.

[Nick]

“He can hit,” Cora said. “Both of them. Dalbec, too. It’s good for them to be around here, talk to players and be around. Just keep getting better. They’re a big part of our organization moving forward.”

 

It'll be interesting to watch JBJ this year. Will his off season workout with JD/coach and subsequent swing adjustments pay off?

 

JD certainly appears to have provided benefits beyond his own performance to his teammates.

What exactly did he lied about?

If so, then trade him.

I don't know what lie you are talking about. I didn't call Pettitte a liar. I called him a cheater, a hypocrite and a rat.

He got caught. He didn't own up to it, and to help himself, he ratted on a friend. He is a hypocrite and a piece of garbage as a friend.

he owned up to it after there was evidence. lets not make him out to be a saint....

[Fan_since_Boggs]

Good point. Pettitte only owned up to it AFTER he was caught. Otherwise, he says nothing about it.

 

Clemons did take things to another level when he broke the law and lied to Congress about his usage. Clemons is the bigger scumbag, but Andy Pettitte is not exactly a role model either. Neither cheater belongs in the HOF.

At least Clemens didn't rat on his friend to save his ass like a coward in private session and by affidavit. Pettitte is a hypocrite on top of everything else making him the more loathsome of the 2 imo.

Hmmm are you sure the reason you loathe Petitte more isn't because he was a Yankee and Clemens was a Sox for 13 years??
