  1. They said that he will start on Wednesday. He will probably platoon with Brentz for the time being.
  2. Do you really care about that?
  3. If the rest of their offense wasn't horseshit, they could ride out his slump. He was 4 for 45 against lefties with 0 extra base hits. It looks as if he has started to figure it out.
  4. It is conjecture, but Clemens did transform his physique in the 1996 -97 offseason. I was stunned when I saw him at Fenway in '97. I was pissed, because I thought, "why weren't you in this kind of shape when we had you." Also, Canseco was on our '96 team. It is conjecture, or let's call it smoke, but where there is smoke ... and there is a lot of smoke.
  5. Jose Canseco
  6. I am not that concerned with the years of control. Do you think that is a big issue for the Red Sox?
  7. I think people will be surprised to see just how small Benintendi is. I always can't remember why Greenwell's career ended so abruptly at age 32-33. He was still producing fairly well offensively.
  8. We should beat this LeBlanc guy like a Pinata. Hopefully, we break our pattern of making pitchers like this look like Koufax.
  9. I am just happy that they have raised the white flag. I am not worried about them be good in 4-5 years. I will just enjoy them being hot garbage for the next couple of seasons.
  10. Conforto was a big contributor to the Mets 2015 World Series team. I wouldn't say that his promotion backfired. The kid came out smoking in his first season. This year he got bit by the Sophomore Slump -- pitchers adjusted to him, he didn't make adjustments and he fell into some bad habits. He went to the minors and is back.
  11. He is supposed to bury those pitches. It is the catcher's job to keep it in front of him.
  12. I don't think anyone did what he is doing even with PEDs.
  13. Leon almost botched that inning. He let a strike three get by requiring a 4 out save, and he boxed another pitch crossing up the ump on what should have been a third strike. All's well that ends well.
  14. True, but it was not a chronic condition and it healed even though it took some time. His skills didnt decline. There was no diminishment of bat speed. It is similar to the situation with Pedroia's hands. Now that he is completely healed, it us obvious that his skills are not in decline.
  15. He's coming up tomorrow, which is faster than people had expected.
  16. you don't give away your #2 because he has a horse face;)
  17. Isnt that when he tore the sheathing in his wrist. It took some time to get over that injury. He didn't decline. He was hurt.
  18. Unless Lackey was mainlining heroin, there is no excusing that horrible trade.
  19. I did a fact check on this. The Astros did not play a regular season game later that evening. Bad research by the Astros research department. Another tidbit about the game is that Leo Durocher was the Asto manager that season.
  20. Blue Jays are getting Liriano for Hutchinson
  21. I don't know too much about this guy.
  22. I am always perplexed at the debate over whether clutch exists. Neither side prevails or wins the argument and even if they did, what a Pyrrhic victory -- it wouldn't change anyone's decisions regarding managing a game or making personnel decisions. I think Doji's comment in my signature applies to this issue as well.
  23. I will be disappointed if DD doesn't pull off a fairly significant deal before the deadline. He has a knack for wheeling and dealing.
