    Then I guess the TV commentator heard the same thing, because he was the one who interpreted it. I didn't know what Francona meant. Any way, I am with Youkilis on this issue.

    The O's are slapping Shields around tonight. They have 5 runs so far. Of course, we made him look like an All Star when our season was on the line.

    I agree, and Kalish has not earned the 4th spot, so there is no room for Nava.

    Salty sucks! He had plenty of time to get both hands on the ball and brace himself for the impact.
  7. a700hitter
    Does anyone still think Nava has major league prospects?
  8. a700hitter
    It's no biggie.

    Joel Sherman will not be getting any smiles in the Yankee clubhouse. lol!!!

    Not too many guys are as productive against righ handed pitching.
  12. a700hitter
    Sox need to get a good right handed DH complement to Ortiz. 25 of Ortiz's 27 HRs are against righties. If he had been just average against lefties, he'd have about half a dozen more.
  13. a700hitter
    That's what was reported.

    According to Joel Sherman, Jeter should be batting 9th. This is the first time, in my recollection, that Jeter has been criticized in the NY press. He must be finished. http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/yankees/what_in_name_yOoYY6OoL6TNOMdSoGhpjP

    You may not have heard about it, but that was his reputation within the organization.

    95 pitches and Buchholz is done? Tito is running up the white flag.
  17. a700hitter
    It wasn't a rumor. Tito made a statement at some point last season that he believed that Ellsbury had a better understanding of the type of commitment (and he used the word commitment) to be successful at the major league level. After playing that clip, the commentator said that Ellsbury did have a reputation in the minors regarding commitment.

    My recollection is that Hanley also played CF in the Red Sox system.
  19. a700hitter
    Yes, they started inducting Negro league players after Teddy Ballgame got inducted and he mentioned in his speech that the Negro league players belonged there too.
  20. a700hitter
    I'm not making the last part up. He had a reputation for having less than full commitment. I don't know if that meant milking injuries. At 80% he would have had over 40 steals and saved us from putting up with Eric Patterson.
  21. a700hitter
    ... or maybe he forgot that there were two outs.:dunno:

    By the time the fielder looks for the runner from second, it is too late. They are trained to cut off the run at the plate.
  23. a700hitter
    I'm completely serious. Football players play with broken ribs all the time. This guy has missed a 6 month season. Unless he has some other medical condition preventing him from healing, it is inexplicable that he has missed this much time. I'll defer to jacko on this, but Ellsbury didn't have a good reputation in the minors for issues like this.
  24. a700hitter
    Double steals are designed to get the runner on third to score. Many times the runner from first will drop to the ground. By the time the fielder reaches down to apply the tag, the runner from third has scored. Lowrie made the right play. He didn't even give the runner at second a thought.
  25. a700hitter
    There's nothing to be risked from playing with nondisplaced rib fractures other than pain. Ellsbury is a fragile wuss.
