    I can't grace you with my perfect presence during many gamethreads.

    DFA Casas, he stinks!

    Cora: 4D Chess. Talksox: Checkers for babies.

    It can still be used though.
  5. Dipre
    I just don't get the narrative that this team is cheap. I really don't.

    The penny pincher strikes again!

    I mean, it could. Baseball's also a game of luck. This roster is flawed, but it can play much better with certain tweaks and/or breaks. Sale and Houck come back healthy and effective, they get a stopgap SS and he catches fire, which allows Story to come back sooner as a 2B (and we assume he hits, as this is an exercise in luck). They go out and add a #3 type that stabilizes the rotation, and this roster can compete. It's hard, but not impossible. The problem I see is that sometimes it's more of an exercise about whining and/or attacking Bloom than serious baseball discussion. I've been one to say that this team has the mark of a bad team, because of roster construction, and the fact they hadn't hit and pitch at the same time until this weekend. However, I also see that with certain tweaks, they certainly could catch fire and steal a wild card. After that, it's everything and anything goes.

    Here in the DR, athletics are mostly an alternative to poverty. But my broke ass isn't going to sacrifice my kids' childhoods so I can play the lottery ticket that maybe one day they can make it at baseball (the only sport we churn out athletes for). If they want it though, I'll help them. The way I see it, I gotta help them achieve whatever it is they want.

    Henrymort? Voldejohn? The point is, he shall not be named.
  10. Dipre
    What's the point of this argument? Seriously asking.
  11. Dipre
    No, all them pitchers are being babied at the same time because they collectively lost their binkies, so the Red Sox staff, whose binkies were properly safeguarded in JH's reptilian pouch, managed to weather the storm. Lucky us!

    And his whiskey sucks.

    I meant the Mets as an example of big spending with bad results.
  14. Dipre
    It's not a comparison. It's an example of how brutal a ball with that sort of velocity to the face can be

    Remember Juan Encarnación? Look him up.
  16. Dipre
    The hapless Yankees only managed one run tonight.
  17. Dipre
    Sox with a 4 game win streak, just swept the Yanks, got good pitching all around, Houck escaped major injury, the team score 25 runs in the sweep, and y'all are talking about garbage Bloom this, garbage Bloom that, and whining about pitching development? Enjoy the wins.
  18. Dipre
    The Mets sure are good right now.
  19. Dipre
    Good wins, good wins.
  20. Dipre
    We're not hapless if we keep beating your ass. You're hapless.
  21. Dipre
    Should they spend more money or build a better roster? Burning money doesn't equate upgrading the roster.
  22. Dipre
    You like King of Juco?
  23. Dipre
    So are wins and losses for pitchers. They complement each other.
  24. Dipre
    I never thought of it that way
  25. Dipre
    No, they're still important, for context. It's never going to be the same swinging at a fastball in the strike zone than it is a slider or a hammer in the strike zone. That's why tunneling and sequencing are so important. But if a pitcher knows you're going to swing, he's going to give you garbage both in and out of the strike zone.
