    Well, there's always someone that complains. I just think the majority of posters will not complain as much if his bat improves from last year. His defense is fine. I'm not sure many people really hound him on that. Complaining about a bad throw in a game thread is totally fine by me.
  2. mvp 78
    Barfield LF, Tavares CF, Castillo RF

    @JMastrodonato Cora says opening day Red Sox lineup to be Betts Benintendi Ramirez Martinez Bogaerts TBD (Devers) TBD (Nunez) JBJ Vazquez
  4. mvp 78
    There is such a huge difference between 15-16 JBJ and 17 JBJ that it's hard to really know what we are getting this year. If 17 was an aberration and he can OPS .800+, no one will complain. Last year was a little disconcerting.
  5. mvp 78
    It was TWO years in a row and one of the seasons was even a half year.
  6. mvp 78
    Harper LF, Beni CF, Mookie RF
  7. mvp 78
    Just Under 26 hours to go!
  8. mvp 78
    bWAR?!?! Get out of here with that nonsense!
  9. mvp 78
    My favorite part was the tidbit about Hanley being the only infielder who was shifting correctly based on the cards they follow.
  10. mvp 78
    He'd be better offensively, but worse defensively. The upside is that you have longer control over him and aren't going to have crazy swings in production like JBJ.
  11. mvp 78
    Beni would be fine in CF if they wanted to add another big bopper to the lineup in LF or DH.
  12. mvp 78
    Yup. He's was the 18th best CFer last year. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=cf&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=200&type=8&season=2017&month=0&season1=2017&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0 Basically Delino Deshields Jr or Carlos Gomez.
  13. mvp 78
    I agree. The only reason we were talking about it all over again was because someone called the suspension "bogus." Honestly, MLB had more info about the situation than any of us do. If they suspended him for 15 games, it was probably for good reason.
  14. mvp 78
    Sox were filling visitor stadiums long before they won a WS. What took the Cubbie fans so long? I'd say that the top 3 fanbases are probably NYY, BOS and STL. CHC needs to stick around longer for them to be with the big boys.

    I'm just listing the takeaways rather than the whole article. It's a good read so I suggest you do so. http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/red_sox/2018/03/mastrodonato_10_red_sox_takeaways_as_they_close_spring_training 1. Cora has the confidence to be himself 2. Players are buying into the aggressiveness 3. Hanley Ramirez is taking this seriously, and Cora is taking him seriously 4. J.D. Martinez really wants to play the outfield 5. Christian Vazquez will be more involved 6. Pitchers are loving their new routines 7. Craig Kimbrel doesn’t need much practice, but the rest of the bullpen is a question mark 8. Brian Johnson could play a big role 9. It won’t be an easy road for Steven Wright and Tyler Thornburg 10. The owners are serious
  16. mvp 78
    @ScottLauber Chris Sale will make his fourth career Opening Day start but first for the #RedSox, who have had five different Opening Day starters in the past five years (Sale '18, Porcello '17, Price '16, Buchholz '15, Lester '14).
  17. mvp 78
    MLB would be better served to over punish guys than face a backlash like what happened with Ray Rice. "Hey, why did you suspend Player A for 30 days? That's too harsh!" "Well, we don't condone DV no matter what. We believe baseball is America's past time and don't want it to be an ethical dilemna when trying to purchase a ticket or turn the game on."
  18. mvp 78
    Even if he didn't lay a hand on her, it can still be domestic violence. What if he just grabbed his wife's phone, called her some awful names and smashed the phone to pieces? What if the kids were there to witness it? That's pretty f***ing bad. You can assault someone without actually hitting them (physical threats, intimidation, holding an object that could be a weapon). Saying "well I didn't hit her" isn't an excuse.
  19. mvp 78
    So far, the only story that has appeared in the media is Steven's. I'm not sure any actual evidence has been presented in the Boston Globe (paper owned by the Sox) or anywhere else. Do I think Chapman got off light? Yup. I think Wright did as well. MLB needs to make a statement by not allowing this type of behavior.
  20. mvp 78
    @SoxNotes The Red Sox begin their 118th AL season tomorrow. They are 58-58-1 all-time in season openers, having won each of their last three. Boston last won four straight Opening Day games from 1997-2000.
  21. mvp 78
    Because I'd punish DV more harshly.
  22. mvp 78
    But it’ll be overcast and dark for sure.
  23. mvp 78
    15 games is light imo.
  24. mvp 78
    @PeteAbe After Alex Cora got done with a fairly speedy postgame media session, he slapped his hands on the table and said, “OK, let’s go.”
  25. mvp 78
    Sale vs Archer
