  1. Is Hanley just getting scheduled rest in game 2. His bat has been coming around lately.
  2. I am an optimist.
  3. I agree.
  4. I guess that Panda sat the first game, because he didn't want to miss too many meals.
  5. LOL!! But remember Yaz's catch in the 9th inning on Tresh's ball?
  6. Game time 7:10 Pitching Matchup MIN: Trevor May (3-3, 5.07) BOS: Rick Porcello (4-4, 5.37) The Red Sox are going for the sweep of the double header with a win in the nightcap. They have won two games in a row going for three and locking up a series win. May the bats stay hot from game 1. Go Sox!!
  7. They got scared. They thought it was The Night of the Living Dead.
  8. I am so disappointed that I had to miss this game. This kid is a pleasure to watch.
  9. 12 hits thus far. There is talent in the lineup. That has never been in question.
  10. The batting averages have been creeping up lately. I think they are heating up and will start producing more runs.
  11. Better than Peguera.
  12. Theo has a history of bringing in familiar faces.
  13. Another head scratcher of a move. It's the pitching stupid!!
  14. Huh? The Orioles outfielder?
  15. I may run to the sports bar during lunch to see if the game is on.
  16. Yes, it bugs me too.
  17. A lot of hitters like to take the first pitch to judge the pitcher's velocity. However, they need to swing at it occassionally to keep the pitcher's honest and prevent them from getting a free strike in every AB
  18. Despite Buchholz's recent performances, let me paraphrase the very successful campaign rallying cry of Bill Clinton: It's the pitching stupid. Our hitters are talented, will adjust and will put up runs. Our pitching is sans talent. We need ER to be the real deal and obtain another starter. The starting pitching is at the bottom of the s*** pile in both leagues. It isn't going to get good enough on its own by "regressing". Getting rid of Masterson was a start. More moves need to be made. If Buch stays healthy and pitches well, that would go a long way toward spring boarding this team, but does anyone place a lot of confidence in that.?
  19. Also, since a full season is between 500 and 600 ABs and the variance of opportunities with men on base is not that great most people born before 1970 (that learned how to do math without a calculator) know that a 100 RBI guy generally hits pretty well with RISP compared to his peers. It doesn't tell you which 100 RBI guy is better with RISP or if the 95 RBI guy is better than the 100 RBI Guy. But it is a pretty good bet that the cleanup hitter with 100 RBI is better than the cleanup hitter with 75 RBI (unless he is on the Mets) assuming they play full seasons. We know intrinsically from following the game the range for the raw number that indicated a good season.
