  1. What kind of swing was that bu Bradley? He looked awful. His head was moving all over the place.
  2. That was Tony C's next to last game.
  3. Bradley is CC's bitch
  4. 5 walks and 2 hits and they can't score a run in 5 innings.
  5. We could have buried the Yankees this weekend, but we are resurrecting them.
  6. If these 2 teams ever get into a brawl, I want someone to land a shot flush on Gardner's punk puss.
  7. That is BS by Gardner.
  8. The error hurt us, but we have to show some life against CC
  9. How can we make this has been look so good?
  10. I wouldn't mind picking him up if we got Robertson too.
  11. It was a ridiculous statement that opened them up to a lot of jokes.
  12. That was a lie to refute the stories swirling about how fat he had gotten. They tried to tell us that he was big-boned. LOL!! They said nothing about him working hard or his effort until this year. I think he tried this year, but it was too little too late. He had a few injuries, and he admitted that he didn't work on his fielding which needed lots of work. Then when he was told that they wouldn't be bringing him back to the 25 man roster when his rehab ended, he quit.
  13. No one in the Red Sox organization made any positive statements about his effort in 2015 or 2016.
  14. No hitters in the middle of this lineup!!
  15. Didn't he play with the same first basemen's mitt for most of his career? My recollection is that he named that mitt.
  16. And Boomer player 3B too
  17. What you saw was an illusion created by your unconscious bias. LOL!!
  18. Maybe Devers 4 for 4 AAA debut has made this less likely.
  19. You couldn't throw a fastball by Yaz. It just couldn't be done. And after 1967, pitchers threw at him all the time, often up at his head. He rarely got hit as he was so quick to spin out of the way and he would get right back in a swing even more ferociously. He would spin himself into the ground from swinging so hard. Yet he didn't strike out a lot. You mentioned the 1975 All Star Game. I remember it. He was sent up to PH against Tom Seaver. They didn't have a helmet for Yaz so he went up to bat with his Red Sox hat and inside protector and he blasted the first Seaver pitch for a 3 run Home Run to either tie the game of put them ahead. Instead of keeping Yaz in the game, the manager, Alvin Dark from Oakland put his play Claudell Washington in the game in LF. I think he made an error in the field or a misplay or pilled a rock on the bases, but I remember him screwing up. The AL lost and the papers the next day criticized Dark for not keeping Yaz in the game. In the 1975 ALCS, Yaz was forced back to LF by Jim Rice's injury and he dominated the series defensively in LF. I can't remember a LFer ever dominating a series defensively like that.
  20. I don't think he was poisoning anyone around him. I think if he had character he would have worked his butt off in Pawtucket trying to win back his spot and get back with his team mates.
  21. I have no anger at Ben. He is responsible for Pablo and several other terrible signings, and he paid for it by losing his job. I feel no anger toward Ben. He was trying his Best. Pablo, on the other hand, did not put forth any effort IMO. He got himself into baseball shape after 2 seasons and 1 belt were shot, and even then he didn't work to improve his fielding. He is deserving of resentment.
  22. I don't resent him for making a lot of money playing baseball. Athletes have a short earning life and they should maximize their opportunity. I think it is very stupid for a player to walk away from money. I resent Pablo because he made a lot of money NOT playing baseball. He let himself get fat to the point where he couldn't perform at a professional level. He openly admitted that he did not work on his fielding in this past off-season, and he really needed to improve his fielding. And finally, rather than trying to work his way back to the major leagues for the team that had already paid him $50 million for nothing, he decided to go home and take the final $50 million with him. IMO, he gave minimal effort to fulfill a very lucrative contract. I think that he proved himself to be a slug.
  23. He provided one memorable moment in his time with the Red Sox -- when the fat load broke his belt on a swing and his belt popped open.
