    He is having a very similar season to Beckett's first year with the Red Sox. Price is pitching better imo.

    We had no reliable 4 or 5 until ERod returned to form and Pomeranz was acquired.

    I think he also failed to get Ortiz out like they had hoped. The guy that I was thinking of was Mike Myers.

    After reading some of the stat lists that get posted every day, I am starting to miss Jung's novels.

    Layne was garbage for us this season, and the Yankees have picked him up to pitch to Ortiz this week. I remember when the Yankees did that another time. I can't remember the guy's name but he was a submarining lefty. The first time he faced Ortiz, he took him into the bullpen. He had a very hard time getting Ortiz out, and that is the only reason why the Yankees picked hi up.

    Ichiro does English.

    Bernie Supporter?

    Basically, they hired DD to replace LL, and DD decided that Ben had to go? He still got replaced aka fired.

    The problem is that this organization has a terrible track record for producing pitchers. If we can't grow them, we have to go get them. If the one's we get don't work out, they will have to keep trying. It is the Boston Red Sox. They have a big payroll. You can't field an entire team of home grown kids. That would result in a generation of 4th place finishes.

    He's a very small guy. Unless he wraps it around the pole in RF, I would be surprised if he could reach the bullpens.

    Does the principal of your school know that you are drunk all summer long?

    That would be "piggybacking" not a platoon. Get your terms straight.

    I don't think that the idiot factor is that much larger for Farrell than for other managers. They basically are a ship of fools with a small handful that can handle the intellectual rigors of managing a baseball team

    The best thing about tonight's game was Benintendi.

    Taz has the home run pitch down pat.
  16. a700hitter
    The kid is very smooth.
  17. a700hitter
    The kid can hit lefties too. But of course he will be back on the bench against the next lefty starter.

    LOL!! I really don't care, but people tell me that managers really don't affect on-field performance, the outcome of games or the season. I maintain that they must be hired to do something if they get paid so much money. I am making the argument that they are being paid to maximize the output and record of the team. For that reason, they are subject to criticism, because many times it is their fault. If they are just there to push buttons that don't matter and the lineup doesn't matter and pitching changes don't matter, then you don't need a manager. If that was the way it is, some owner would have figured out that there was a potential to save on salary. A lot of times you have trouble following things, Bells.

    I think we need to hire a body language expert to tell Farrell when a pitcher is toast.
  21. a700hitter
    That is fine, but his first name is David not "$210 million for"
  22. a700hitter
    The little guy is looking like a good hitter.
  23. a700hitter
    He's a choker.
  24. a700hitter
    Most of that stuff is taken on by the coaching staff. I am not convinced about the importance of the off-field stuff. The players know how to play the game already. Any additional work that they need is done with the coaches not the manager. Managing egos? PR? Do we need a multi million dollar baseball man for these tasks? Hire a motivational speaker and a press secretary. Most teams already have a press secretary and many teams bring in motivational speakers during the season.
  25. a700hitter
    Oh the $210 million man, $200 million dollars -- need to get more from him for that money!!! Who the hell watches games like that? Get over the money. They all make a ton.
