    It was an ok year, I guess.

    It's ok to like players from another team. That's something that has always been around and isn't just because of the internet. When I was younger, there were larger than life characters like Michael Jordan and Bo Jackson. I don't care that you like Correa and Jeter, just leave it out of the gamethreads where people are overly emotional.

    Holt is being sacrificed at the altar of Pedroia. We'll see if it'll work for this year.

    I thought notin was referring to 98 with the "6 outs" comment.

    You do realize that everything I post is lighthearted too, right? The last time I took this place seriously was when we were raided by BDC and we had to cull the bad accounts.

    He started off slow last year too. He really started to hit his stride the end of last May. He's fine. I don't think it's a problem yet. It's weird that his noticeably slower this year though. That does really impact his long term value unless he can boost the power numbers. The k rate is at a career high right now too.

    Well, it was my game thread, so I don't care what Max thinks about it. Just in the future, don't cheer for the other team if it's my thread. I know you were upset enough about a baby's mojo the other day, so I thought you took it a little seriously. Oh well.

    Gordon wasn't a strictly 1 inning guy like Kimbrel either. They had some ok arms in that pen though that could have pitched in the 8th (Swindell, Corsi, Lowe). Lowe had pitched 1 2/3's clean that day and looked pretty good from what I remember.
  9. mvp 78
    He was no Jim Corsi, that's for sure.

    https://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_1963.shtml#all_AL_MVP_voting Monster was pretty good in the early 60's, but it was a different game back then.

    For one year, Uehara was the greatest closer this team has ever had. Foulke has 2004, but Uehara's 2013 eclipses that easily. Gordon had a good run in 98 and they should have tried to keep him around. He was definitely great for the Yankees for a few years. We could have used him in 2003.

    He had over 2 fWAR in 14 and 15. He was only at 1.4 last year. He's also one of the slowest guys on the team. In a game winning situation, I'd pinch run Sam Travis for Holt. I'd like my utility guy be able to run. Nunez on his "gimpy knee" is still the second fastest guy on the team.

    Last night, I had a dream that I was at Yankees stadium and Beni hit a HR to RF to start off the game. For whatever reason, he was really emotional on his way to 1b. It was very sweet. Then I woke up and remembered that we had fat Beni this year. :*(

    Cheering for the other team's players in a game thread is a bit of a faux pas to me.
  15. mvp 78
    Holt hasn't been all that productive since 2015. He's constantly injured and doesn't have the upside of Nunez or Pearce. It's an easy call for me. I also think you could sneak him through waivers and get him to AAA.
  16. mvp 78
    Pedroia - go to 12 pitchers and drop the lowest man on the totem pole (Weber) Holt - DFA Holt Johnson - drop Brewer Eovaldi - drop Thornburg (good chance some other pitcher is injured before then though)

    Ockimey, Howlett and Duran hit taters on Saturday. Howlett is starting to come around and had a nice weekend. Charlie Madden had two taters yesterday after being called up to Portland.

    https://mlb.nbcsports.com/2019/05/20/koji-uehara-has-retired/ Koji Uehara has retired from baseball. Uehara, 44, has spent the past two seasons with the Yomiuri Giants, which is the where he began his career way back in 1998. He spent eight years there as a starter, winning 20 games in his rookie season, then one year as a closer and one year in swingman duties before coming to the United States. Once in the majors he pitched for four different major league teams over nine seasons — the Orioles, Rangers, Red Sox and Cubs — from 2009-2017. In that time he posted an excellent 2.66 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and 572/78 K/BB ratio in 480.2 innings and notched 95 saves. He won a World Series ring with the Red Sox in 2013 and was an All-Star in 2014. Uehara’s last big league stint in America with the Cubs in 2017, for whom he posted a 3.98 ERA (111 ERA+) in 49 games. Happy trails to an excellent reliever.

    Thunder gave up that HR, not Porcello.
  21. mvp 78
    Thunder lost this game, not Cora.
  22. mvp 78
    Don’t post in my gamethreads with this crap. Damn, dude.
  23. mvp 78
    You jinxed him and he went limp. WTF?
