The kid manufactured that run.
-
And in his second AB, he breaks up the no-no.
-
Does anyone know what the exit velocity was on his Home Run ball? That shows me his power potential, not his average exit velocity. The average is lower because as you say his "approach" is different in most of his other ABs.
-
Or to build his trade value and get something in return for him that we need.
-
Betts is still very young. He will develop more patience. His bat is so quick that he can wait longer than most players.
-
Marco's first AB.
-
In the first inning, Betts had a terrible read on Colabello's ball. That would have been an easy out on a night game.
-
I like that Gibbons has changed his lineup from last year. The Jays scored a ton of runs last year, so he decides to mess with success and put Saunders in the leadoff spot. As a pitcher, I would hate trying to acclimate to the mound etc. when the first batter is Donaldson who can crush you.
-
Then when you get old, I have good longevity in my family, I will call you out for hypocrisy. LOL!! I am not one of those people who thinks that age brings wisdom. My Dad always told me that age didn't bring wisdom, because idiots can't age into wisdom.

Did Mexico ever invade or attack the DR?
-
I've been getting grouchy my whole life. Don't be an ageist. If you are lucky, some day you will get old too, but I know blather when I see it.
-
He runs pretty well too. He has major league tools, none are really plus tools, but some might be better than average.
-
This is a place similar to a bar or the stadium or other gathering place for fans to watch the games. People at bars and at the ballparks are commenting about the guy's weight. We are just doing the same thing. None of us here is sending him hate mail about it. I don't know why she gets so bent out of shape about it.
-
Even a win now at all costs mentality would probably not resut in 3 last place finishes down the road.
-
Sometimes I am grouchy. It happens, especially when I post so much and read everything that gets posted here. Sk is a good poster on the baseball stuff. The blather post was not his best stuff. Some people can do humor. Sk's strong suit is baseball and statistics. Comedy and satire are not his strong suit, IMO.
-
Maybe so, but it is like hearing a 40 year old joke. Remarks like Sk's are tired. And I will say it again, the opinions of fans about other fans bore me to tears. I barely read that garbage.
-
+1!
-
Blather, because I don't care about others opinions of fans -- unless it is about Yankee fans.
-
I saw Hernandez in Spring Training. I liked his tool set and his hustle and heads up play. I think CP176 was right about this kid. I also think the fans will like him when they see him play.
-
But that glitch is not there when he hits a ball like yesterday's Home Run. I agree about the glitch. I am just puzzled how it is not there at times and he hits the ball a mile.
-
You have no way of knowing that. It is just your opinion. And we had a very serious and immediate need at closer, and DD got us the best one in the game today. IMO not an overpay. You need to put these posts in the Dead Horse thread.
-
I don't doubt those statistics, but those are averages. What was the exit velocity on his Home Run yesterday? I would bet that it was much higher than 88 mph. I am just surprised that we don't see that more often from Bogaerts as he has shown the capability to supercharge a baseball.
-
If Ben had taken a stance against all the bad moves but was overruled by LL and Henry, Henry would have fired only LL as it would have been clear to him that Ben had the better baseball head. Henry fired both of them which indicates to me that Ben was complicit to a high degree in the bad moves.
-
It was pretty clear that the Red Sox had intended for Vasquez to be the #1 catcher if healthy. He is hands down the best defensive catcher in the organization. They sent him on a rehab assignment. I am pretty sure that he has options left, but they made it known that he was going on a rehab assignment. Their plan in that regard was clear before opening day. When healthy, he would return as the #1 catcher. This wasn't clear to you? But it is crystall clear to you that Cherington had nothing to do with the Panda acquisition. You talk about the bias of other posters, but you have some obvious biases that are not backed by or based in facts or statistics. That's okay, because this place is all about opinions, and even the statistics presented during arguments rarely (extremely rarely) establish or prove any thing.
-
Vasquez went to the minors on a rehab assignment. Once he finished that, it was certain that he would be coming up as he is our best catcher and probably the organization's future at the catching position. That leaves 2 choices-- 1. send down Swihart. 2. Trade or DFA Hannigan. One of these 2 things was imminently inevitable. Which would have been your choice?
