  1. He could never motivate Upton to play hard. The guy dogged it all the time.
  2. Fred, they are clearly obsessed with you. You should list what you ate for breakfast to see if half a dozen posters dissect that post.
  3. I think you guys should hug it out.
  4. Dean, you can really turn a phrase.
  5. Buchholz is the real wild card in the rotation. In a rotation that is a pile of mediocrity, Porcello seems to be the best bet to be the leader of the pack, but there have been stretches in Buchholz's career where he has been exceptional. If he can get on one of those runs, like he was on at the beginning of 2013, that could really jump start this team's fortunes. However, if he pitches to last year's 5.43 ERA, this very mediocre rotation will put tremendous pressure on the offense to produce big numbers.
  6. Don't get all Butt-hurt and sensitive or I will spam your pm inbox. Ooops!
  7. Corrected.
  8. What you think you meant is clearly irrelevant. Others will tell you what you meant and how you feel.
  9. We should bludgeon our way to enough wins to play better than .500 ball. The problem will come in the dog days when offenses sputter. By that time the pen should be worn down to a bunch of noodle arms. Pitching reinforcements at mid season looks to be a likely path.
  10. In the offseason I read some reports about Miley. Maybe I am recollecting wrong, but I think the report said that his secondary pitches were too weak to playoff his substandard fastball. What is his best pitch supposed to be, because his fastball is really not very good?
  11. The Nats IF defense is atrocious. They will need their staff to strike out a lot of guys.
  12. Miley didn't look like much of groundball pitcher today.
  13. Their top pitcher is suspended for PEDs.
  14. Good point. The boob got us into this fix. Bullpen has looked okay, but with this collection of bottom of the rotation starters, the pen will be in tatters by the All Star Break.
  15. Allen Craig and Victorino are not doing much to build trade value with Slugging %'s of .083 and .130.
  16. Run prevention is not this team's strong suit.
  17. Nap is in the lineup. It looks like Ortiz is sitting.
  18. Thunder, when you get back, please pay your dues. Thanks.
  19. I wasn't insulted. You have a unique way of phrasing things. Most of the time it amuses me, and expect that is your intent.
  20. And he is so smart that he has handed in a lineup card listing 2 third basemen.
  21. Only you could phrase consent in an insulting manner. None taken.
  22. Damn, another day game. Go Sox! DVR for tomorrow.
  23. A triple crown contender? I suspect that you would have some stiff competition from other members.
  24. by the way, you are wrong about Cycles. Youk has given Dutchy a long rope in each of his reincarnations. Sooner or later he will implode and he will be gone. Tick tock tick tock.
