    I would send him out for the 7th.

    JBay is blowing away the field. This will have to be considered for every key series and the post season if we get there.
  3. a700hitter
    Other than sucking?

    I like what Pom gave us in his last start and what he has done so far tonight, but he is one of those guys that seems to give runs back after his team gets him some runs.

    Renteria made the smart move getting Pelfrey out of the game, but it backfired on him.
  6. a700hitter
    Renteria pulled Pelfrey before the inevitable implosion. The bullben gives him a better chance.
  7. a700hitter
    Benintendi is not going to be ROY.
  8. a700hitter
    The lineup sucks tonight. Too much dead wood.

    I saw too much of him when he pitched for the Mets. The fans and the media used to make fun of his habit of licking his hands as soon as he would get into trouble. Sometimes it looked ridiculous. He would look really good for 3 innings sometimes, but then he would fall apart completely. He should be reaching his expiration date in this game rapidly .

    I think you are right that Kapler did hurt himself on someone else's Home Run, but he was running hard not knowing if the ball was out of the park. That is my recollection. JD was just in a normal Home Run trot.
  11. a700hitter
    We should be torching Pelfrey. He is a bum.
  12. a700hitter
    As good as Pedroia on that play.

    I would need to watch each of them in person, preferably from an outfield seat, for a series or two, preferably against each before I would offer an opinion ranking them in order. I haven't seen Kiermaier in person, but based on what I have seen on TV, I do consider him to be top shelf with Bradley and Pillar. As to who is best or a ranking of the three, I would expect the differences to be minor, and I am not sure the differences between the 3 of the very best would be very meaningful or that anyone's opinion or any data measure would be definitive.

    Judge is a hack in the field.
  15. a700hitter
    I don't mind Hawk. There are worse homers in other booths, and he isn't a horrible listen.
  16. a700hitter
    The guy adds zero to the broadcast.
  17. a700hitter
    Maybe that biased thing would be true of some fans, but not all.
  18. a700hitter
    So Farrell will bat him 5th tonight.

    I think that there is a tendency by north-easterners to assume that anyone with a southern or Louisiana accent is a dumb hick. I am not saying that Paps was a rocket scientist, but it is my understanding that his parents were educators at a University. His dad was not Jed Clampit who hunted varmint for dinner. Also, I remember Paps as a stand up guy with the Red Sox who never caused any problems. After he left Boston, he said a few derogatory things, but I can't blame him for being bitter. The Red Sox FO never even gave him a courtesy call when he was a FA. That would have rubbed me the wrong way, and there was a fair bit of negative sentiment from the fans directed toward him too after he had been nothing but a good player for the team. I think I might be bitter too. He certainly wasn't the most bitter ex Red Sox player. Clemens, Boggs and Nomar come to mind as being very bitter. I don't blame any of them as their exits were all accompanied with hit pieces from the media with the tacit consent of the FO.

    I liked Drew a lot. At the time, I thought his contract was too big. In that big contract, there were 2 seasons where he didn't come close to earning his money. In retrospect and by today's standards, his deal was not at all unreasonable. The only problem that I had with Drew was that I was always fearful when he would grimace that he would miss a month of games. He is still the only player I know who missed a month of games injuring himself on his Home Run trot except for Kendrys Morales who broke his leg stomping on home plate after a game winning GS.
  21. a700hitter
    They are wrong in this instance.
  22. a700hitter
    They owed him at least one game like this.
  23. a700hitter
    If the metrics don't rate him highly, it is one of those examples of why the eye test is more reliable than metrics when it comes to fielding. He is not deceptively good. Get a bleacher seat and watch this game every night and compare him to the opposition's centerfielders, then you can appreciate how good he is.
  24. a700hitter
    That has definitely been his pattern.
  25. a700hitter
    Pedroia played the next night. When JD took himself out of a game, he was gone for 2-3 weeks.
