    Clay vs. Price is a weak argument. There is no comparison between the 2. Price's stats may be ugly right now, but he has 5 months to turn it around. Clay has 2 months before he says good bye for the season.

    Yaz was great on D too, which is absent from Ortiz game. As an offensive force, Ortiz is second only to Teddy Ballgame -- and only by a hair.

    Beheading? That's a little dramatic. Losing your #2 pitcher half way through the year is a big blow to a team. We are going to disagree on this, but I think it is very disruptive to a pitching staff and taxes the bullpen physically. It is also very difficult to replace that kind of production during the season. Even if you are able to acquire a suitable replacement, the process usually takes some time - 2 weeks maybe a month. In that amount of time, damage can be done to the bullpen. Certainly, they could have gone in another direction before the season started rather than have to scramble in season to find a replacement.

    He will pobably right himself as the weather warms up, but then he will have a tough time picking up wins, because the game will always be perplexing.

    It might have been a no-brainer in terms statistical value, but not in terms of team building strategy. He is a half year pitcher that always leaves a hole in your rotation around the All Star break. That is very disruptive to the rotation and it affects the entire pitching staff. The strategy was misguided regardless of his $ value. It may have been a no-brainer topickup the option, but keeping him was not a no-brainer. I would have picked up the "valuable option" and traded him to get some value in return.

    I am glad that this politically motivated attempt to rewrite history is being picked up in the press. The Schilling "Bloody Sock" game was one of the most memorable personal performances on a big stage in my lifetime. It was a compelling story by itself and it was magnified by the context of the Red Sox comeback against their greatest nemesis. To edit it out of the show reflects the pettiness and spitefulness of management at ESPN. They should be ashamed.

    I agree with this. I despise all attempts to re-write sports and other history to conform to current political correctness.

    I know that it is not the same as being a pitcher, but ARod did come back from it at an advance age. Didn't he have both hips done?

    Great night! Great weekend!

    Destroyed Gardner!!! How sweep it is!
  11. a700hitter
    Twits.

    Destroyed Didi

    Koji walking someone? He doesn't usually throw anything but strikes.

    What is the chant in the stands?

    Tex was late on a 79 mph and 87 mph pitch. Goodness!
  16. a700hitter
    His k/9 innings is around 19. LOL!

    Swihart had better learn how to play LF, because he is not going to make it back as a catcher.
  18. a700hitter
    Holy s***!! He just rocked Betances! No one does that to Betances except maybe Ortiz.
  19. a700hitter
    Shaw with another hit!
  20. a700hitter
    Yeah, he probably shouldn't give ARod anything to hit if he faces him again. ARod wrecked Price's game tonight.
  21. a700hitter
    I guess that Farrell is trying to get price a win, but does he deserve a W giving up 6 runs.
  22. a700hitter
    Travis Shaw is quickly becoming one of my favorite players.
  23. a700hitter
    Enough already. Who cares?
  24. a700hitter
    ARod is wrecking Price. Jeesh. Farrell has the 7 run rule in effect.
  25. a700hitter
    Shaw is such a pleasant surprise at 3B.
