    And here we go again.
  2. a700hitter
    It would be nice to play with a lead at least once in the series.
  3. a700hitter
    Or by risking an out when a productive out by 1 of the next 2 batters would score you.
  4. a700hitter
    That is a very mistaken understanding.
  5. a700hitter
    There is no justification or rationalization for poor fundamentals, and especially not for the repetitive failure of fundamentals.
  6. a700hitter
    But you do endorse it by demanding examples of how stupidity and poor fundamentals have cost the team runs. That is saying to me that poor fundamentals are okay as long as it doesn't cost runs.
  7. a700hitter
    If he want to accept stupidity and poor fundamentals as part and parcel of aggressiveness that is very faulty logic.
  8. a700hitter
    Thanks, Pete. If it gets rained out today, maybe I can get up there for the next 2 games.

    Good fundamentals don't give you style points. Good fundamentals give give you the best chance of winning. These are mental blunders, not blunders borne of aggressiveness. For example sending Sandy Leon to make an out by 10 feet at home plate with 0 outs is dumb not aggressive. Benintendi heaving the ball to home plate when the opposing catcher has not even reached 3rd base is just dumb. It isn't aggressive. He was about 50 feet from the infield dirt. He could have just rune the ball into the infield and not heaved it to the backstop. There is no plus/delta for such stupidity. It is just poor fundamentals.

    So if bad fundamentals don't cost runs, it is okay and acceptable. That is ass backwards.

    I couldn't make it to Boston for today's game due to a bad case of bursitis. I am selling my tickets on Stubhub, but if anyone on TS would like to go to the game, I will transfer my tickets to you for face value ($75/each no fees). You would need an MLB account to complete the online transfer.

    I think he corresponded with several TS members offline even after he was banned.
  13. a700hitter
    He's a season ticket holder. I remember him when he was here at TS. He was entertaining. Gom was his username.

    More HRs, Goldschmidt with a 1st inning HR. The Re Sox are the only ALDS team without a HR.
  15. a700hitter
    It is all about the HR's this post season, and we have a lineup full of Keebler Elves.
  16. a700hitter
    Oh, LOL! And it is a news issue what Chapmen likes on social media. So stupid.
  17. a700hitter
    i had forgotten about Mattingly. His teams had some very uneven seasons. I am glad that there is precedent. I will not be sad to see him go.
  18. a700hitter
    Yep, hitting strategy needs to change to adapt to changes to today's bullpens.
  19. a700hitter
    What is this that I am hearing about Arnoldis Chapman criticizing Girardi?
  20. a700hitter
    The rule has always been that good pitching can stop good hitting. Not this season. The hitting is just annihilating good pitching.
  21. a700hitter
    I can't believe that the last hopes for our season rest with Fister.
  22. a700hitter
    Strasburg had a good start but lost. Kershaw won but gave up 4 runs (4 Porcello's) in 6 innings, and the other aces all had terrible outings. This post season is about offenses bludgeoning their way to victory.
  23. a700hitter
    it is too bad. His career was just starting to blossom in the last couple of years.
  24. a700hitter
    I agree with Spud. I can only fault him for poor fundamental teams. I think you are wrong about a ho him attitude. The fact that these guys had such an extraordinary record in extra inning games demonstrates their will and their fight. It is not randomness -- another sta head whacky theory. On the telecasts, the former ball players have noted that as the extra inning games drone on that often times the players just want the game to end without care who wins. That is not the case with this crew. They never gave up in those games and in many of those games they broke the will of the other teams. I don't see any bad or ho hum attitude from these fellas. The big reason that we will see Farrell in our dugout next year is that owners just don't fire managers the same year that the team has won a division crown. He has won two division crowns in a row. I can't remember the last time that a manager got fired after winning 2 Division titles in a row.

    I don't think I could have said it any more clearly. Plus, he said it at least on one occasion that there was nothing anyone could say that could change his mind. That doesn't seem like a good faith offer to debate, so why bother. Let him make his case all that he wants, but I have no interest in trying to convince him, especially when he has prejudged the issue.
