Wow, this IS like the Giants game. One idiot mistake followed by 3-4 minutes of numbly watching the team die.
-
Brilliant play by the Colts kicker whose name is dead to me. Touchback there pretty much nails it down.
-
Yep, 3 downs left, a minute and twenty to go, if the Pats get the ball back it's a formality. Unless we get a TD on the return, Colts win.
-
Read: game over. Actually it doesn't matter if they shut down the run. They have no time outs. THey HAVE to force a turnover. 2 minutes left. Colts get one more first down, and that's it. Forget it. See ya. Game over. Maybe even if they don't. David Thomas' idiot penalty literally cost us this game. Oh well, at least we're tied for first.
-
DISGUSTING sequence. Olympic bed-crapping effort. UGGH.
-
This is as bad as the Giants game. Why throw fourth and long and not third and long?
-
Wow, way to screw over a drive! Absolutely awful penalty by David Thomas!
-
Bad return. Those timeouts are going to be a factor aren't they?
-
Of course he drains it. He hasn't drained ome that long in 5 friggin' years but of course he nails it.

Redsox to make big push for Texiera
Dojji replied to Believe in Boston 7's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I consider this a waste of resources. -
Hey, just noticed this: check it out! http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/N/Mike-Napoli.shtml Napoli has far more power than Kottaras, but they've got a similar BB and K dynamic in the high minors. They're both basically true outcomes hitters at this point. Not sure this is a true comp but I thought it was interesting because it looks like Napoli's a similar type player statistically and he's worked out fine for Anaheim. Should give some hope for Kottaras.
-
I think that's about where I stand too. Fortunately it looks like the kid has some pop, that can atone for a lot of sins. If he shows up in the bigs next year it's because Theo thinks he was the best available option, even if only because you have to throw in the cost of dollars, talent and opportunity from some of the other alternatives.

Pretty fun hockey game tonight.
-
Just to play devil's advocate, Kottaras had 22 HR's in ~ 400 at bats, not that far shy of Cust's mark, and Kottaras walks a ton himself. That would put him in the top half of catchers offensively. And that looked like Kelly Shoppach's ceiling at one point so I'll consider that good news By all accounts, he's improved enormously and was nearly as good as his defense-first counterpart this year in Pawtucket. I think you're selling him way short, but if you mean Mirabelli in his prime years, I'll sign up for that..
-
Shoppach is cost-controlled and has monster power. He handled the load of a starting catcher very well for Cleveland last year and is better defensively than the incumbent. You'd be more likely to get Victor Martinez out of the Guardians than Kelly Shoppach, I'm thinking.

Yankees in talks with Rockies for Willy Taveras
Dojji replied to 26 Reasons to Hate Us's topic in Other Baseball
I actually think the pendulum has swung too far the other way on Ian Kennedy. He's not what the Yankees thought he was when they lumped him in with Hughes and Joba, but he should have some kind of a career as a major league SP. A possible DeJesus deal would be tough to resist for the Yankees. Dejesus is their kind of player. You worry a bit about the D, but DDJ has good on base skills and lefthanded pop to take advantage of that short porch. -
Red Sox almost certainly will exercise Wake's option

Aliright, alright, guys, I get it. I jumped the gun. Consider me arppropriately chastened.

Dojji replied to 26 Reasons to Hate Us's topic in Other Baseball
Oh PLEASE do this Yankees! Wily Taveras is a Joke and Ian Kennedy is probably going to dominate the NL. -
http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20081030&content_id=3656083&vkey=news_bos&fext=.jsp&c_id=bos You gave us some great years, Tek, and for what you were, we're very grateful. And thanks for the bounceback year in '07, it was huge for our memories of you. I wouldn't want to see this guy play for us next year, but I'd throw Brad Mills overboard in a heartbeat to bring Varitek back as the bench coach and heir apparent to Tito. He's still the same old Tek as far as baseball wits goes, but what you can do with that on the field is limited by ability, and Tek's is gone.
-
I'd go for it if you could pick him up for less than say $2M/year. If you can get him cheap and then it's pretty low-risk and it would add to our depth. If you have to spend more than that then you run into a situation where you're forced to consider putting him on the roster even if he doesn't earn it. Perhaps you can wow him with a large signing bonus and then keep the contract small. That would have the benefit of keeping flexibility while also making him a more interesting trading piece if things fall that way. I definitely start him in the minors though. This is a guy who based on the videoclip seems to live on his offspeed stuff, and that's affected by the difference in American and Japanese baseballs. Get him used to the American baseball down in AA and see what comes of him. He likely makes the majors in the second year under that scenario without the hellacious learning curve that a lot of Japanese FA's have to undergo to make it in the States.
-
Not bad. should be born in mind that the players he's facing are basically indy ballers. I like his curve.. Good use of the whole strike zone with the FB too, that FB doesn't look particularly nasty but he seems to mix it in OK. I'm not sold that he could do this to major league hitters though. Not sure he has the FB to be more than an average MLB pitcher.

Manny's High Five Double Play. You'll never, ever see that again.
-
I think the possibility of posting Yu Darvish is MUCH more interesting. JMHO.
-
Lester's no no will be on top of every list. I want to shout out to Justin Masterson as one of the most undersung heroes of the Sox, and to Manny for hitting 500, which probably won't be mentioned because of how the season progressed but SHOULD be.
