  1. He is an all time record holder though: On September 2, 1996, Mike Greenwell of Boston had nine runs batted in during a ten inning game. This is the record for most runs batted in where one player accounted for ALL of a team's RBIs.
  2. The MVP guarantee is that there will never be a post using the term pollyanna that is not just meant to be a dumb joke.
  3. @IanCundall Noteworthy pitching performances from Red Sox prospects on 8/17: Chris Murphy (AA): 7 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 7 K Raynel Espinal (AAA): 7 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 6 K Wyatt Olds (FCL): 1 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 1K (debut) Christopher Troye (FCL) 1 IP, 2K (debut) Jacob Webb (FCL): 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 2K (debut) If the Red Sox actually learn to develop some starters...
  4. Oh, I got the sarcasm.
  5. They tore the Popeye's down so it has to be something else, right?
  6. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/costacos-baseball-poster-mike-417762283 He did have one of the greatest posters though.
  7. He put the ball in play. 37% swung at the first pitch 88% contact 65 career strike outs looking (that's just endearing) Boggs: 8% first pitch 93% contact 221 career strike outs looking Bogaerts: 17% first pitch 79% contact 143 strike outs looking
  8. He was the proto dirt dog.
  9. Don't bag on Greenwell too much. Watch LF on this triple when Greenie hit for the cycle.
  10. @PeteAbe #RedSox bullpen had a 3.48 ERA with opponents hitting .236 through July 28. Since: 6.93 ERA with opponents hitting .300. Only the Pirates (6.95), Cubs (7.86) and Orioles (8.96) are higher. Not coming from behind AND losing the leads they do have. Bad combo.
  11. Greenwell's career 120 WRC+ is better than Xander and ties Raffy. He just played on some s***** teams and deserved better talent around him.
  12. I was young enough to enjoy the Gator experience. The stock car racing was cool, I guess. My dad always bagged on him for swinging on the first pitch and running into the monster. He was the only good positional player that came close to bridging the Rice/Boggs/Clemens/Evans years to the Pedro/Papi/Manny ones.
  13. The pollyanna to shitposter after one doubleheader timeline.
  14. Boston has an easy remaining schedule, but they aren't helping themselves right now.
  15. Then it just goes by how MOON personally feels about a player.
  16. The red sharpie was laced with amphetamines.
  17. Sure, but it doesn't go all that much further than it. There is some excess value, but it's rather immaterial.
  18. There is value to Leon. There just isn't 1.50 saved ERA value. He was a positive fWAR guy from 16-18. He had value then. Now, he has much less value because his bat is crap and his defense has taken a step back.
  19. When you have a s***** team, you can trade everything not nailed down and nobody cares. Moreland's contract ended that season. People have seen Lester/Mookie/Nomar get traded. Moreland doesn't move the needle at all.
  20. I agree that it was part of the decision.
  21. Working well with the young pitchers is not the same as trying to win ballgames.
  22. Actually... he was drafted first because he was a great talent who signed $1.9M UNDER SLOT.
  23. He stinks and the Marlins stink. What's the big deal? It's not like he's getting that run on a good team.
  24. If they didn't want to be competitive, why would they ever trade for Ottavino? While I don't think the other deals move the meter too much, giving salary relief to the Yanks to bolster the pen would make no sense if they didn't want to win.
