    Right, that's why I mentioned the "looks better in a uniform" archetype. Ugly and small players are the new market inefficiency.

    Because if he can't help this team, managers are useless and A700 is right about just letting fan vote determine all moves.

    Smith pitched well last night. Fingers crossed!

    @michaelFhurley Having Chris Sale pitch at the Trop is like forcing Mozart to perform at the Meadow Glen Mall food court. Or something close to it maybe.

    It looks like it was resurrected a few days ago. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have nothing else to say on the matter though. I'm done. It's not like moon reads my posts anyway.

    It's a sneaky good nickname.

    CV = Colo (Guerrilla), I like that one. Mucho.

    Not pictured is Farrell's "He Hate Me" jersey.

    I never conjecture. Henry does sleep in coffins!

    Last game against the Sox, Odorizzi gave up 7 runs in 4 1/3. That was in Tampa too. http://www.fangraphs.com/wins.aspx?date=2017-07-07&team=Rays&dh=0

    He better help. He calls substitutions, sets the lineup and is in charge of the coaching.

    It's not that "clutch players try harder," it's that some players shrink under the pressure and let their nerves get to them. If you can hit or pitch the same with a bases loaded jam in the bottom of the 9th as you do in the 1st inning, you're clutch. It has NOTHING to do with elevating your game in crucial moments. It's about being consistent and not letting stressful situations get the better of you.

    Until we can confirm this directly, it's all conjecture on our parts and prone to bias. Is the FO shifting gears? Maybe? Is it coming from Henry, or someone else? Who knows? I just can't stand the "this one guy in the organization is ruining everything, but this other guy is cool" narrative. We're not on the inside, so we don't really know what is actually going on behind the scenes. I'm not sure it matters either.

    Ben, buried 6 ft under ground. Just where A700 wants him!
  17. mvp 78
    I don't believe in grumkins, snarks or an impending cliff.

    RE: Henry I don't trust people who sleep in coffins and don't come out during the daylight. I'm not sure I've read any direct quotes from Henry on this subject either.

    You should try demeaning everyone a little more and talking up your decades of scouting high school kids.

    Tampa is 4th in the AL in HR's. Porcello will need to keep the ball down tonight. http://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/parkfactor/_/sort/HRFactor The Trop isn't a bandbox, but we may see a few go out tonight with these two guys pitching.
  21. mvp 78
    I think he's much more similar to Brian Johnson. I find it weird that they see Johnson as a 4th/5th starter guy, but Beeks is only middle relief. They don't seem all that different to me. Maybe he's a better prospect because he looks better in the uniform as he's 4"s taller than Beeks?
  22. mvp 78
    Maybe? I don't remember, so probably not. I still feel the same way about Porcello though. If he can't get control over the long ball, he's a back end starter.
  23. mvp 78
    They had the great 11 game win streak last September too. Of course they went 1-5 over the last two series before the playoffs and then got smoked by the Guardians. He needs to really get it done this year.

    @redsoxstats Sale's 7.0 WAR so far is valued at $56M. Kluber has the next highest WAR at 4.9. BUT THE CLIFF..................

    Remy isn't coming back this year. https://twitter.com/PeteAbe/status/895299103164424197 Damn.
