  1. This is the Dempster that I remember from the Cubs. High pitch counts and lots of walks. He escapes again.
  2. Lavarnway has the graceful mobility of Frankenstein"s monster.
  3. Dempster is one of those guys that pitches just well enough to lose each game that he pitches. Give him 8 runs of support and he will not make it through 5 frames.
  4. Of course if my good friend, Israel wants to reverse the trade, I would not force him to make a trade that he regrets. There would be no hard feelings on my part.
  5. Segura's numbers are almost equal to Trout's. He's a big upgrade over his current SS. Kendrick is having the best year of any Phillie pitcher. i think the trade helps both teams.
  6. It's the damn Twins and Vance Worley. With Buch on the mound, we should be trashing these guys.
  7. or possibly she was someone else's wife. Crazy s*** happens. Eck's wife left him for his room ate and best friend -- the Guardians CFer Rick Manning. . Ironically, he was know more for his glove than his stick type.
  8. They all cheat on their wives. He must have something else on him.
  9. I would have Nava or Drew lead off and drop Ellsbury to the bottom third of the lineup. Ortiz has to get hacks in the first inning.
  10. I'd prefer that he get a pilot's license.
  11. I am sure that he has done his side work and running, but game conditions are different. Every movement is sudden and explosive. There is conditioning and then there is game conditioning. I would be tempted to bring him in a low leverage situation in his first coupl of appearances so his adrenaline is not too ramped up.
  12. The manager makes out the line up card. If he doesn't have that much authority, then he is little more than an overpaid figurehead. Suit up a bobblehead doll and call it the manger if he can't make out the lineup card. He should be dropping Ells to the bottom and moving everyne up a slot so Ortiz always gets a hack in the first inning. Hopefully Middlebrooks is getting things figured out. We need him to be a force in the middle of the lineip if they want to compete for a playoff spot. Napoli is a wrecking ball but too inconsistent.
  13. I would feel worse if it was a forearm problem instead of a biceps problem. Forearm problems always seem to head straight to TJ. I am concerned that he is going to go from tossing on flat ground to high adrenaline late inning situations after 1 rehab appearance. I have to wonder whether his arm and legs are properly conditioned. I think they need to monitor what is going on who Brian Wilson.
  14. Rodney has reverted to what he was before last season. Tampa thought they could role the dice with him again. They have farnsworth (another inconsistent guy) in reserve if Rodney pitches himself out of the role. Very exciting to pull this one out. Hopefully, Middlebrooks is turning the corner.
  15. If Jenny Dell can ask in the second inning tonight who is the Red Sox MVP to this point in the season, we can discuss this.
  16. Better value Loney or Napoli?
  17. It should never happen because it is terrible. Any lineup for this team that has Ortiz batting 5th is a terrible lineup.
  18. We will be holding our collective breaths when he makes his rehab appearance.
  19. David Ortiz should always get a hack in the first inning. Your best hitter and biggest threat has to bat 3rd. It's that simple.
  20. I think Truman would get along very well with Clint Eastwood.
  21. It's 4th place team that has been playing above its head. The best we can hope for is to stay competitive and make a run at the second wild card. There are going to be a lot of ugly games like this along the way. I may have to adopt Fred's dogs.
  22. He's right on the Mendoza Line after tonight's game. He can't seem to stay over the Mendoza Line.
