  1. Basically, you are saying that other big market teams have been run poorly. His point still stands. It was not acceptable the way Ben ran a big market team.
  2. That should help the production of the offense.
  3. I am still wondering what you meant by "singing large market praises".
  4. I thought we were talking about drafting players. His record on trades is worse than his record on drafts.
  5. Of all the guys that DD traded, he is the only one that I see as someone who could haunt us down the road, and he is still a couple of years away. If he becomes a CyYoung winner in 2024, the trade in 2015 was still worth it.
  6. Only gamethreads get closed. This needs to stay open for “Crow eating” possibilities down the road.
  7. I think it is a very reasonable suspicion, but I don’t think he was trying to hit him. Pearce has eaten Happ’s lunch. Happ was probably trying to move his feet and make him a little uncomfortable. Most of the time a hitter moves his legs to avoid the pitch or just catch a glancing blow. Pearce’s front foot looked like it was stuck in cement as it was still planted when he got hit, making the impact worse.
  8. That wasn’t Ben? For the life of me, I don’t understand the Ben love. Of Mookie’s was his guy, that would have been quite the catch.
  9. You are very old. LOL!
  10. I have been following James Shields’ season. He is with a pathetic team that is horrible defensively and they play in a bandbox. He has put up a high number of quality starts, but the really notable thing about his season thus far is that he has avoided what has been his downfall throughout his career — the Home Run ball. I would think that he should be an inexpensive acquisition. If Pom and Wright continue to falter Shields would be a good alternative.
  11. Great story. Regarding the size of his left arm, I read that one doctor who examined him said that he had the most well developed deltoid muscle that he had ever examined.
  12. "Large market praises"... what does that mean?
  13. If we get 7 runs at home with one our top 3starters on the hill, we should win. I don't give a rats ass how many LOBs we have. 7 should be enough.
  14. I don't think that performance was a "head scratcher". It was a stink bomb.
  15. Farrell's boys bailed him out of so many mistakes in 2013. It was uncanny.
  16. Kelly is taking an ax to what is left of this game.
  17. Cora made a very bad decision staying with Porcello long after the announcers and every spectator knew that he had nothing. Maybe his boys will bail him out again.
  18. Eck could see it from the booth last inning that Porcello had nothing. The good news is that he gave up only 1 Porcello. Edit: 2 Porcellos. he can't win giving up Porcellos.
  19. A big steaming pile, and Cora has the 7 run rule in effect.
  20. Very close. I don't think it was to the left of the line. If it hits the line is it a HR or in play?
  21. Rare misplay by Pillar on the carom.
  22. Ball is not easy to pick up at this time of day.
  23. Travis should have been out by 10 feet.
