  1. He has been a very useful bull pen piece. Bobby V should have gone to him before Lester blew up the game.
  2. I hope Nava has a .500 OBP when Crawford gets healthy and they sit his $142 million pampered ass on the bench.
  3. This should have been a walk over by the Sox. The Rays lineup is weak without Longoria and Jennings and our number 1 was facing off against their number 5. Lester s*** the bet big time.
  4. Nava with a below average arm.
  5. When has he come up big in a big game. The Rays offense is nothing special, and they bitch-slpapped our ace.
  6. 7 run rule in effect.
  7. Time to get the Ace out of there. He is giving up HRs now to pop guns.
  8. Our starters walk way too many batters. The walks will always kill you.
  9. Good work, Ace!! Walk the bases loaded and then get behind and come in with a cookie.
  10. That's true.
  11. It's idiotic that he has Pena batting lead off. I am well aware of his number against Lester. He has taken him deep several times. He would definitely want him to bat in the first inning, but lester has had a history of first inning problems. Getting a lead off bomb from Pena would be a waste if there was an opportunity to get a 3 run bomb. Maddon is very impressed with himself. He's a jackass.
  12. The employees wages (up to 12K) may be delayed, but they will be paid unless there are no assets. Employees who make more than $12k in a payroll period will not generate a lot of sympathy from anyone.
  13. No, it doesn't. It's hard to find a backup first baseman or catcher with speed. It's not a skill that is critical to a first baseman. It is critical to an OFer, and Nava is an OFer. Casey was a very good fielding first baseman throughout his career.
  14. Maddon is very impressed with himself. Yet, he is the only active manager that thought outside of the box so much that he submitted a lineup with 2 third baseman thereby losing his DH for the game. As far as handling players, he has never been able to motivate BJ Upton to perform up to his capability. The guy continues to be a dog. I don't think much about Maddon. He might be a slight degree less stupid than most managers, but that ain't saying a lot.
  15. It will be interesting and maybe a little scary watching Byrd navigate RF at Fenway.
  16. I guess if he never throws a pitch for us that we will never be able to evaluate the trade.
  17. His tools were still there. In a bench player, you want a guy who can go out without much notice and competently handle a position and perform with major league skill, i.e. run, field and throw like a major leaguer. You don't expect that they will come off your bench and OPS at .900. They are meant to plug a hole until the regular returns. Anything they give you with the bat is gravy. Nava doesn't have those skills. The saying that speed doesn't slump goes back at least 70 years to Branch Rickey and maybe earlier. I am surprised that you don't understand what that means.
  18. Any unpaid payroll for services rendered will have the highest priority if there is an eventual bankruptcy. It is a sad situation, but businesses fail every day. They gave it a shot. It didn't work. They probably made mistakes and they probably did a lot of things well too. In the end it didn't work out for anyone, which is why the hostility aimed a Schill from Red Sox fans who don't know the facts is bizarre and irrational. I can understand Yankee fans piling on him, because he tore out their beating hearts and ate it twice.
  19. No, he doesn't.
  20. He got slower?
