    Go Red Sox!! Happy Mothers Day! YOTN if the Red Sox blow this game, I will make the game thread for Monday and my at the game mojo will bring a Red Sox victory on your birthday.

    At this point, Sandoval is a $90 million bag of garbage. That is not a personal attack on him, but commentary on his performance. He will have three years to turn things around, but as of now he is a bag of garbage.

    Did we give this guy a physical?
  4. a700hitter
    I am not watching, but what is wrong with Price? Is his velocity down?
  5. a700hitter
    Big Papi still has the fire in his belly. That was good to see. It was also good to see Farrell show some fire.
  6. a700hitter
    His pitches had good movement.
  7. a700hitter
    As I said at the beginning of the thread, if he gives up 2 or less Homers, I'll be satisfied. He did a good job.
  8. a700hitter
    Porcello continues with his tendency of giving up Home Runs.
  9. a700hitter
    The Yankees have been lucky.
  10. a700hitter
    How dare you question his character. I am sure that he worked very hard at putting on all that weight.
  11. a700hitter
    Hicks is a horror show in CF. I am unfamiliar with his defensive play. I thought he had a good reputation with the Twins.
  12. a700hitter
    Porcello's stuff looks terrific tonight. Everything is moving.
  13. a700hitter
    Ben can do an extra credit report if he likes.
  14. a700hitter
    LOL!! I will never complain about a win, but that doesn't change the fact that Young stinks.
  15. a700hitter
    If Porcello can stay down in the zone and give up 2 Home Runs or less, that is all I ask of him.
  16. a700hitter
    Big Papi doing what he does best -- wreck the Yankees.

    The analysis is usually done in an emotional manner, but it is there 8-10% of the time. It is just hard to differentiate it from the purely emotional reactions. LOL!! For example, "Farrell, you idiot! Why are you letting Young bat against the righty reliever when you have Holt and Shaw on the bench!" That is really game analysis even though it is stated very emotionally. It is also something that I probably posted.

    Evaluating drafting is different from evaluating a trade. Both need some kind of hindsight, but scouting and drafting procedures should be done on more of a macro level. It would be ridiculous to complain about one draft pick or one bad draft. The evaluation of potential is very imprecise. Trades, on the other hand, are looked at and evaluated by fans and press on a more transactional basis.

    Does it look like ER will be back in the rotation by next week?
  20. a700hitter
    Game threads are 90% emotion and 10% game analysis.

    We told the Boston.com people that we didn't care about their squabbles on their forum. Now, they seem to have turned their attention to dredging up squabbles here. Let's just discuss baseball. There is plenty of content there.
  22. a700hitter
    I was just joking at your reference to being normal. That would have to be a very broad spectrum on this forum, but that is okay. Normal is often boring.
  23. a700hitter
    And those guys can't get out righties or lefties. Young is supposed to hit the Lefties that our left handed hitters can't hit.
  24. a700hitter
    And the only way to know if your evaluation and scouting process works well is by using hindsight. Let's not kid ourselves. At the time of the trade, both sides think they made a good deal and surely they can make a good rational argument in favor of their side of the deal. Otherwise, deals couldn't get done. The proof is in the playing.
  25. a700hitter
    We are fans. We complain about a player's weaknesses and mistakes, but in the context of Hugh's post it needed to be clarified that no one here was criticizing the FO about XB or claiming that he was a mistake.
