I hate when they wait like this. It is very unfair to the fans. The rule of thumb had been 1 hour wait for many years and then the game was called. This is ridiculous.

I don't think his play from the whole was a mirage at all. He made that play better than any one because he was able to make the throw with out stopping or planting and he got plenty on the throw. Other Shortstops, may have made that play in a more conventional manner appearing to be making it easier-- that was the mirage. Nomar made that play better than all of them in that he got the ball to first base quicker than anyone else. Other than that play, Nomars hands were never great and his throwing could be spotty, but I rank him as a better fielder than XB before his range was limited by injury/age/wear & tear.

How much better do you want the trade targets to be than Chris Sale and Craig Kimbrel? Goodness, your standards are high.

LOL! I don't trust anyone else behind the wheel, so I am a very alert passenger, and if you see something you warn the driver. My only point is that our coaches are not alert passengers. They are napping passengers, which is okay except for the fact that they are being paid to be alert.

Unless it is David Ortiz. That wouldn't help the lineup.
-
He is doing better than expected through 3 innings today.
-
Before he lost his range, he could go into the SS hole and throw across his body to first base while continuing toward 3B without stopping, planting or jumping. When I first saw him make that play in person, I was astonished. It didn't seem physically possible. It was not a mirage, and it was truly extraordinary. It was much better than Jeter's jump throw. The only criticism of that play by Nomar was that his throws curved and were not true resulting in some extra time getting to first base. All of his throws followed that path.

He was clearly cheating on his nutritionist.

Will edit.

You can hold your own except when it comes to evaluating Pedroia.
-
i was fairly certain about the rule on that play until he said that he didn't know the rule, and Farrell challenged the play. When that happened, I started to wonder about the rule.
-
lLengthening a lineup is hooey statistically.
-
His fielding had deteriorated at that point. His range was gone. His hands were never very good.
-
Do you see what happens when you are texting while walking? Let this be a lesson to you. Addressing the the green light scenario, my point still stands. An alert passenger should still shout "Look Out!" if he saw it coming.
-
That isn't Marrero or Pablo or Rutledge. Are those numbers over a full season? I am guessing that they are Leon's from last year. What is your point?

Giggles.

But Wouldn't you yell "Stop Sign!" when you realized that she was about to go through it. My Dad did that with me when I first got my license and I didn't get to use the car for 2 weeks. If I had gotten T-boned and hospitalized, the lesson would have been learned a whole different way and he would not have chastised me, but he would have tried to prevent it by yelling "stop sign." Coaches are supposed to be aware of everything going on on the field. They are not there to wear the spare uniforms and take up space.

MVP CPA and 700 lawyer. And we know our baseball too. It isn't that hard.
-
until we added the two bats to the lineup, we didn't have that many good hitters. The bottom of our order has been a black hole. No offense from third base or catcher for most of the year. When you have 2 black holes, you only need 2 or 3 others to slump and run production grinds to a halt.

Price out with forearm soreness

See you in September Mr Scowl. -
lol!
-
Gomes has some good insights and a tremendous knowledge of what is going on around both leagues.
-
Nomar was a known liability in the field. Plus, we had plenty of hitters without him. Apples and oranges
-
So the rest of them stink at their job is an excuse. Let's face it, the star brainiacs of an organization are not usually the first base coaches.
-
If Porcello can limit them to 1 HR or 2 solo shots, he will have done his job and given us a chance to win. Unfortunately, far too often this season he has given up multiple homers and multi run Homers. He has been a #4/5 at best this season-- a shadow of a Cy Young pitcher.
