Funny, most have the right perspective here, ie "it's meaningless", except for the Jersey Shore resident. You know who you are.

I read that this morning, and that article has a misleading inaccuracy in it. It says the handrails were raised from 30.5" to 46" after the fall last year. One, handrails are shorter than 46". Guardrails, different name/different function (they are guardrails because they provide fall protection), are 46" high by code. In the picture, you can clearly see there was only a handrail there, not a guardrail. The height of the rail is about belt high on the men standing there. The Rangers were negligent, IMO, for not having a guardrail there.

Really, they would have walked him and put the tying run in scoring position? For some reason, I doubt that.

Save rate might be one of the worst ways to evaluate the quality of performance by relievers. He won't always come in with a 3-run cushion. That said, I'm encouraged in the progress he's made this year. His FIP/xFIP is 2.23/2.35, up from 3.51/3.56 last year. This bodes well moving forward.

At the game. Minute Maid is nice. Good start, but Salty let Happy off the hook.

Or he could pull something. [/obligatory Lowrie is made of glass post] On a serious note, I thought it was unfair to label him as fragile after the missed time due to being hit by a pitch and fracturing his hand (tough luck, but that happens) and subsequent viral infection. That said, this latest injury warrants discussion about his durability.

I think the only adjustment that would bode well for the Sox is if they adjusted which team he plays for.

7 runs is the magic number, everyone knows this by now, right?
-
I see why Aceves was so bat shy.

Well, if you are going to swing after a pitcher threw 2 strikes in 16 pitches, it's fitting that your name is Chase.
-
He's all sorts of f***ed up now.

Take it easy, my comment was a joke too.

Not a strike.

Learning your lesson.....you're doing it wrong.

I see you haven't learned much on the unrealistic expectations front.

They got Bard turned around, and he was the consolation prize coming out of UNC that year. Miller was the show pony. If they fixed both, wow, what a steal.
-
Wait a minute, Einhorn is Finkle and Finkle is Einhorn?
-
I'd be content if they just got Beltran. He can't be offered arb, so he should cost next to nothing in talent. And, he addresses a greater need than Reyes.

If Lowrie's shoulder keeps him out for some time, I think the plan B is to play the original starter (Scutaro) and having Navarro/Sutton fill in as utility guys. Sure, they'll be active trying to figure out if they can/should get this deal done, but I think there's enough internal coverage to make them not overreach, which is what I suspect it will take to get it done. At a minimum, the offer to get Reyes will have to look more appealing than the 1/1s draft picks they'll get as compensation. Then there's the added bonus it will take to make it look they aren't just bailing for their fans. Right now, the Mets have a perfectly legit excuse, the financial mess, to not sign him in the offseason and take their supplemental picks. Losing him mid-season without a "Wow" deal probably hurts them in the PR department. I just don't see the Sox offering up enough talent to get him, but I'd be happy to be surprised.

I think Abe's take is right on. It's worth some internal debate within the FO and some discussion with the Mets' FO. But in the end, it's not something I see happening after the Gonzalez trade.
