    Those bats have been cold up to now. The odds are that their offense will get very hot as the season progresses.

    Ahh you are a prepper. Water baloon fights are lots of gun. Our weapon of choice during the childhood years was the super soaker.

    You have been spending many hours doing yard work. You must either live on a big estate or you are doing day labor on the weekends.

    Red Sox win! Clay with the win out of the pen!

    Pedey should have kept that ball in the ballpark!! Trade him!

    They have been in a collective team slump to this point of th season. This is the time that you want to face them.

    And when I am bored I will read those articles--- when there is no game to watch.

    Porcello is a 4/5 and Price has been inconsistent pitching at a 4/5 level. They and the chubby knuckleballer are anchoring our staff. The other 2 spots are holes so big that they are an abyss.

    You will never learn. LOL! I don't think you can take this loss on yourself. It will be one of our worst losses of the year. Horrendous. I hope people don't go on posting about what a good job Porcello is doing. He is well on his way to his level -- a 4 ERA. That being said,if we had 3 Porcello's at the bottom of the rotation we would be in better shape than having Kelly and Buch.

    From someone who saw the game, a "he really hit them hard and they were caught at the wall" is much more meaningful and interesting to me than "90% of balls with that exit velocity and angle are hits". That makes me yawn, but that is just me.

    Was that ball catchable by Hanley and would the runner have been out?

    9 runs and 15 hits and a loss. Even the pitching deprived teams of the 60s and 70s didn't do that.

    Not really. The elite players with elite bat speed sound different during batting practice. They stand out. They just do. I have experienced it many times. Everyone else is in one range and the elite guys have their own level. Is it an oversimplification? Yes. Is batting practice the best place to judge a player's performance? No, but I would prefer to evaluate a guy by watching him take batting practice than reviewing some exit velocity numbers on paper any day. I really don't think much can be learned from exit velocity numbers. I remember the story about about Ted Williams at an All Star game running out from the clubhouse to see who was hitting because of the sound of the guy's batting practice. That guy was Henry Aaron.

    And his definitely a lot worse than Lackey.
  15. a700hitter
    A players Exit Velocity is the one statistic that a blind person could judge fairly accurately just from the sounds at batting practice.
  16. a700hitter
    That is a far cry from what we are used to getting from Koji.
  17. a700hitter
    Nice carom shot for the RBI.
  18. a700hitter
    Wow! The Blue Jays OFers screwed that up. Pillar has to get whatever he can get to.
  19. a700hitter
    i have no significant issue with the way Farell has run things.
  20. a700hitter
    It is a true statement.
  21. a700hitter
    It became illegal after 2003.

    The thread should have been locked from the initial post when Babe lit the match. If a Yankee fan wants t do that here, I will always turn the blow torch on them.
  24. a700hitter
    We didn't win anything in the PED era- pre-2004, so it doesn't matter if we were clean or not, but at least our guys weren't paraded in front of Congress to explain how they cheated and none got prosecuted for lying to Congress and had their teammates testifying against them. LOL!! What a circus!

    He did such a great job in his other managing gigs. He is the most over-rated manager of all time. He always had the luxury of managing a push button team with a formula for the bullpen that was second to none. As easy as that team was to manage, he still needed the gerbil Zimmer next to him to explain the game to him. Once Zimmer left, Torre got real stupid again.
