    He's such a good doctor that he doesn't need to see them in person. If only my doctor could do an exam like that.

    If Price can just stay healthy, it won't be as onerous as the Hanley and Sandoval deals. Price eats innings for breakfast and has a lot of value to the team. I'm still worried about his arm falling apart tho. Interesting that he isn't spouting off this year like he had in previous years under Farrell...

    People were really just fired up because it was really the bottom third of the lineup that wasn't hitting. If it was just JBJ, it wouldn't have been a big deal. JBJ became the whipping boy just because he was in the 9th spot and we've seen him have some really hot stretches. I also just think a large portion of people on here just don't like him for whatever reason. To me, if he hits 250, he's fine. I wouldn't give him $20M/year, but he's fine. I'd keep him around.

    If you think it's the best team ever, I'll have to take your word for it. I loved the 2003 and 2004 teams with peak Manny and Papi, but you've seen far more than I probably ever will.

    People are complaining that he needs to go back to AAA and dominate there before he comes up. When you look at his numbers, he is dominating in AAA. I'm not sure what else he has to prove there. He needs to prove in in MLB either in the rotation or the pen.

    Give me David Price over Hanley and Pablo 7 days a week.

    Hard to be offered a job if you aren't looking. Ben probably needed a rest and he had enough money to enjoy his time off. Can't fault him for that. He ended up getting a pretty good gig eventually anyway. It's not like he was doing off-Broadway with Duquette. http://www.iberkshires.com/story/11142/Former-Red-Sox-GM-Dan-Duquette-to-star-in-Damn-Yankees-.html

    250 should be fine to anyone. I can see why people wouldn't be thrilled with 190 tho.

    Just put on a little Bongzilla on the stereo and you'll be fine.

    The Yanks also won their division by 13.5 games and had won 4 of the previous 5 WS. It's not that surprising that the Yanks beat the Mariners that year. If not for a Mariano implosion, the Yanks would've made it 5 out of 6 years.

    2013 played way above their heads and only made the WS due to Papi becoming the greatest player that ever lived. 2014 played under their heads by a little bit. The 2015 squad just flat out sucked though.

    I just need to put a few of the more annoying posters on ignore and then the other s*** wouldn't bother me.
  13. mvp 78
    I think Holt can do a fine job there going forward. If they could get a cheap upgrade (not Dixon f***ing Machado), they should go for it. There are a few FA to be 2b's out there, but I always lean towards beefing up the rotation or bullpen.
  14. mvp 78
    Replace those 15 Sox with rings with 15 Don Mattinglys and the Sox wouldn't have been in last place.
  15. mvp 78
    No way is he going back to back. I bet Leon gets 3 out of 5 games going forward. 2-3 games a week for 6-8 weeks will give us a good look at Swihart behind the plate. He needs to take the opportunity and run with it.
  16. mvp 78
    The real good teams can shorten it to 5 innings.
  17. mvp 78
    And Cora also sees these guys play the OF before games. He knows far more about their OF abilities than any of us do.
  18. mvp 78
    My only point is that a short hot streak can greatly affect your batting average. 10 points half way through the season is no big deal. For example, if he goes 5 for 5 tonight, his batting average will jump 14 points overnight. I think you're getting too far into the weeds with the "if you believe he's an x hitter, it's harder to raise the average" argument.
  19. mvp 78
    The problem is that even if one or two posters are doing it in jest, all the other nonsense from our typical scrubs just makes it annoying to read. I'm finding myself logging on less often during games now.
  20. mvp 78
    That's not really true at all.
  21. mvp 78
    This team is known for it's baserunning blunders. It runs into more outs than almost any other team. Those kind of things can't happen in the postseason.
  22. mvp 78
    The O's wouldn't make that deal. It's basically Xander for Britton and Machado.
  23. mvp 78
    Beeks 2018 in AAA: ERA 3.05 INN 82.2 BB 23 K 110 WHIP 1.08 Better than any prospect playing for the Mariner's AAA squad.
  24. mvp 78
    Owens always walked far more batters and struck out fewer batters than Beeks is doing this year. People liked Owens more because of his body type. That's the only reason.
  25. mvp 78
    No, obviously they only brought him up to showcase him. They didn't need to find people to start due to injuries to their pitching staff. Also, I don't believe 2 appearances ruin someone's trade stock.
