    At 36, didn't Yaz play 1B?

    JFC, how about calling a strike a strike? Lester's had 6 pitches in the zone called balls.

    Isn't that what JoJo Dancer will most be remembered for in a couple of generations?

    Speaking of freebasing cocaine, Josh Hamilton is up.

    Freebase cocaine until his hair catches on fire?

    Belt high fastball at 89 mph right over the heart of the plate. Even scrubs wallop that pitch. JV is below scrub level.

    Lol, Millwood must have rubbed Pettitte's cock for luck before this game.

    Not saying it's right or fair, because according to the rules, that's not a strike, but if you are rookie facing a "proven veteran" ™, then you have to have a 24" wide plate with 2 strikes.

    Or even worse, just imagine if the sun went supernova, and the Sox had SS that they really didn't want when the apocalypse occurred. Jesus f***ing Christ, really? This is your argument? Don't do this now because some hypothetical pipe dream might occur and you'd miss out. I don't disagree that Guzman was not a desirable option, but this is the mother of all bad justifications.

    In your mind. In reality, it's a pipe dream.

    You may find that a mere formality. To me, whether or not he hits to a certain part of the park regularly matters when trying to sell his benefit to playing in Fenway. I'd call it a core component of his appeal. One that appears to be a fabrication by Mr. Epstein when you look at the actual data.
  14. ORS
    If you go to his player page at mlb.com, there is a link for his "Hit Chart". Then you can look at how he's hit at individual parks in each season. He may go the other way from time to time, but he does not hit the ball for extra-bases the other way regularly.

    How is LaRoche's swing tailor made for Fenway? His hit charts show his power to be up the middle and to RF, the most expansive parts of the park, and there's no data suggesting he goes the other way with considerable frequency.
  16. ORS
    Yes. He was on the roster at some time during April-August.

    Since I joined, this is about the 3rd time an announcement regarding an effort by the moderating team to enforce the rules to a greater degree has been made. I understand the need for this announcement each time and agree that it should have been made. I'll also admit that I have been guilty of doing some of the things disallowed by this latest announcement. That said, I'm not changing the way I post until I see some actual evidence that it will be carried out. Under this latest announcement, there is no excuse for allowing diony to continue posting here. Overall, I think the admin/moderators do a good job regulating the site. But, for this latest reminder of the rules, I'll believe it when I see it. Sorry.

    Pointing out examples of your hypocrisy and talking out of both sides of your mouth isn't flaming you. It's putting your s***, for lack of a better descpritive term for what it is, right in front of your own face to smell. If that "enflames" you, then go to the source, you, and make a change.
  19. ORS
    That chart is the sole reason I only point and laugh at his posts now. It's more reliable than sunrises.
  20. ORS
    No, not profound. Magic.

    First it's going to be very difficult, then, once they win, it's because the opponent was so easy. Funny how that works.

    I really hope the guy who soiled himself over not getting autographs got a chance to see that display in CF that just happened at Wrigley. There's little wonder the players don't bend over backwards to make fans happy. There's a large number that show up every game that are mega-douches like that guy that tossed the beer.

    If we are going to apply an "if only" policy, then Ted Williams....if only he hadn't missed several prime years due to war and if only he played in the LH friendly Yankee Stadium, he'd be the champ.
