    So much for the value of FG.

    I am a big believer in sticking with the hot hand. Hanigan will need a rehab assignment. Leave him in Pawtucket for the maximum period. If Leon remains hot, keep him in the majors. If the guy steps up and wins the job, it is only fair.

    If you make a lot of contact, you will hit into a fair amount of DPs. Yaz made a living on the hole between first and second when a runner was being held on. When he missed that hole, a DP was not uncommon. Pedroia also makes his living hitting that hole. He is coming out of the RH batters box and he is not as fast as he used to be. Rice's ground balls got to the infielders very quickly. He hit the ball very hard. Many times, he was probably 4 steps out of the box when the infielders fielded his grounders.

    I was surprised when I saw Benintendi. He is short and slight. He makes Betts look like a power lifter.

    He will probably blow a tire soon after he joins the team. That has been his history. He never wanted to leave the Mets, so this could rejuvenate him. As for the wife beating, we have seen a long history of different rules applying to athletes. Society is willing to sweep it under the carpet when professional athletes are involved. As a baseball move, it looks like a good move for the Mets. Plus, it fits the cheap assed Mets budget as they will only pay him the league minimum.

    Good move by the Mets. They have big holes in their lineup with Wright done for the season and Duda with a broken back.

    I have always liked the kid when I have seen him at Spring training. He has good power.
  8. a700hitter
    Is it a projection?
  9. a700hitter
    I think you misinterpreted Spud's statement.

    I have always had difficulty wrapping my mind around the fact of his success at MLB substandard velocity for closers. Even in 2013 I constantly worried that he would turn into a pumpkin. Now, when I see 79 mph for his splitter on the scoreboard it makes me wince. Yet, he gets the job done. He must be tremendously deceptive.

    I appreciate the artistry of your words.

    I love having Price on the team. He is a legit big game pitcher and ace. He ran into a hot team tonight and got banged around. It happens, but we still won the game.
  13. a700hitter
    Spud, you can turn a phrase.
  14. a700hitter
    If we can get Wil Myers, we should. he is coming into his own and is hitting the tar out of the baseball.
  15. a700hitter
    Yes, it did!
  16. a700hitter
    And they did!!! Best win of the year.
  17. a700hitter
    Over the past week, they have been finding ways to lose. it is about time that they find a way to win a game after being down by a lot.
  18. a700hitter
    What is Farrell waiting for?
  19. a700hitter
    Price doesn't have it tonight. I is time for Farrell to get him out of the game. I guess that the 7 run rule is in effect.
  20. a700hitter
    RemDawg mojo tonight! The other guys are losers.
  21. a700hitter
    White Sox haven't swept us 4 games since 1927.
  22. a700hitter
    Need an outfielder. Lamarre isn't protecting Ortiz.
  23. a700hitter
    This was my first at the game loss of the season. When we took the 2 run lead, I was getting cocky and was thinking that I owed it to the Res Sox to go to tomorrow afternoon's game. This team is finding ways to lose games. This game was ours. How many did Quintana walk -- 6 or 7? He walked Leon 3 times. We scored 6 in a game pitched by Quintana. You have to win those games. But we found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. We get a guy picked off third with one out and the top of the order batting. We send another runner to his certain death when we had the starter on the ropes. Our manager sleeps through the 8th inning. Just terrible. Good teams find ways to win games. This is not a good team.

    Dont blame Farrell. He couldn't help it. When Melky tied the game with the 2 run home run, Farrell's two brain cells collided with each other incapacitating him. He did not regain consciousness until after Navarro's double. He acted immediately upon regaining consciousness. He did everything that he could do.

    And Butterball was set up between the Poland spring and new balance signs down the third base line. He was too far away to communicate with him.
