    @UmpireAuditor "It's been a big plate all weekend. That was really big. Like a plate and a half" -@NESN announcers Yesterday, Umpire Bruce Dreckman called a strike on this pitch to Xander Bogaerts that missed outside by 4.43 inches.

    Hernández 2B, Verdugo CF, Martinez DH, Bogaerts SS, Devers 3B, Vázquez C, Gonzalez 1B, Renfroe RF, Cordero LF, Pivetta RHP Not often do you see a lineup where the corner outfielders and the 1b are 7, 8, 9.

    I don't like Flemming's style, but Lou is a fish out of water. Just horrible.
  4. mvp 78
    I hope you are enjoying the Will Flemming experience on WEEI.

    MLB fines Castellanos for flexing over an opponent and suspends him for 2 days. Yeah, any time someone does something cool, just fine and suspend him. Let's make sure this stays a milquetoast game for seniors only.

    Hopefully, there's more WOW and less LOL in his performance. He pitched ok at times in Spring Training. He's not the guy you want to throw out there when you need a stopper though.

    Oh, you don't think I have a working sarcasm detector now?

    @ChrisCotillo I'll start warning you all now: Wednesday's Red Sox-Rays game (1:10 p.m.) is available exclusively on YouTube. Not on NESN. Not anywhere else. YouTube. This is the future of baseball that nobody asked for.

    He was in the Hembree/Workman deal.

    If they get into the playoffs and get swept in the WC round in 2011, do they still blow it up by forcing Theo and Tito out? Would they still bring Bobby V in that offseason?
  12. mvp 78
    No, Mookie wasn't on that team. I'm glad we still have Xander though.

    I have Major Concerns about this Rock Bottom post title.

    If they had only gone 4-8...

    He chose not to keep Mookie. The same way he chose not to keep Lester years ago (because he was over 30) and then regretted the decision enough to overpay for Price (who was over 30).

    The cliff was Henry's arthritis not wanting to put bigger numbers on Betts' check. The cliff was Werner's tinnitus not wanting to negotiate further.
  17. mvp 78
    Man made cliff. Henry could have kept spending. He chose not to.

    Eovaldi should not have been brought back. Time has shown that jettisoning Kimbrel was the smart play too. Joe Kelly was very replaceable. Hembree is a nobody. Porcello wasn't even signed this offseason. JBJ didn't sign until the very end of camp and is in a timeshare. Leon? Swihart? Kinsler? Holt? Nunez? Moreland? Benintendi is starting off where he was last year. The only guy aside from Mookie that is in the discussion for re-signing is Pomeranz, but he's overpaid for his relief profile. That team won because Mookie/JD/Devers/Xander were mashing all year. That was the core. Beni could have been part of that core, but he decided to try to be something he's not. I productive Mookie would lift this team to playoff contention. MAYBE, in two years Wong and Downs are productive major leaguers. At that point, MAYBE them and Verdugo exceed what Betts provides to the team. I don't think that's likely though.

    May as well go back to Duquette then. I mean, that's the start of the modern version of the Sox.
  20. mvp 78
    When he left, the prospects were: Moncada Devers Espinoza (highly regarded) Margot Benintendi Kopech Chavis Logan Alen Dubon Brian Johnson ERod was a rookie. That's a lot of young talent. While the talent is mostly offensive, they could have used some of those guys to bring in young arms.

    Sox were 6 - 18 over the first 24 games last year (.250 winning %). Probably the worst start in franchise history. They went .500 against the O's, but I wonder if people are really undervaluing the talent the O's have. People were writing them off as competing with the Pirates for the #1 pick. The young talent seems good enough to get them closer to 75 wins at the very least. The Sox also went 2 - 7 against the Rays. Maybe the Rays take a step back this year and the Sox can grab a few early wins from them? Maybe the Sox continue their slide and don't pull out of it? What if Kiké doesn't get picked off of 1b at the start of the season? Does the offense get a little jolt? Was it really deflating for that to happen and then not have anything fall in afterwards?
  22. mvp 78
    What's the remaining fallout from Ben? Drafting a couple of young guys or international free agents? We're pretty far removed from the Cherrington years.
  23. mvp 78
    That was a team that was decent offensively (Ripken, Murray, Lynn, Tettleton, Orsulak), but that rotation was horrible aside from Boddicker. Wade Rowdon had a -43 OPS+ in 30 AB's. I'm not sure I've noticed an OPS+ lower than that.
  24. mvp 78
    Plus Pedroia
  25. mvp 78
    Why? What’s different about the 40 man?
