    Every team has trouble in the pen.
  2. mvp 78
    It's the player's fault they can't warm up faster, honestly.
  3. mvp 78
    He's white so he'd probably be out by the playoffs anyway.
  4. mvp 78
    Who needs a calendar, really?
  5. mvp 78
    But if the umpires make calls that aren't correct, the players should be able to make up for it.
  6. mvp 78
    Maybe they just give Taz a DL stint?
  7. mvp 78
    Who is the odd man out when Koji comes back next week? Ross? Tazawa? Barnes? I can't see them moving on from Abad.
  8. mvp 78
    What would you do with Tazawa? DFA?
  9. mvp 78
    I hope that is the case. It seems that ownership always got the blame for the s***** contracts of Crawford, Panda, et al, but we never really knew for sure. If you liked the GM, you'd blame ownership for any poor move.

    Who would he take the place of right now? Would he be an improvement over what we have? Would his performance outweigh any of the baggage that he brings to the table?

    http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/08/jonathan-papelbon-red-sox-reunion-increasingly-unlikely.html We're 36 hours away from the nightmare scenario of Papelbon signing with the 2016 Sox being over. My fingers are crossed.
  12. mvp 78
    The players should be able to catch him before he falls on his ass.
  13. mvp 78
    No, just quirks and luck. Talent and good coaching does not matter anymore. Is the game quirky? You betcha! Is luck involved? Of course, you'd be a fool to state otherwise. Talent and coaching are overstated. It doesn't matter if the manager makes the wrong call because they players should be able to overcome it. It doesn't matter if one team has more talent because the managers should be able to make the proper call to make up for the talent gap. If that call is wrong, well the players should be able to overcome it anyway.

    How did the Tigers get to the WS? Trades and FA's. I don't think Dombrowski will hold onto all of the prospects. He will move guys to fill more important needs (i.e. starting pitching).
  15. mvp 78
    Nope. Baseball boils down to quirks and luck. Talent and good coaching does not matter or have much of an effect.
  16. mvp 78
    So $13M plus a prospect to get Buchholz? Nah. He has more value to the Sox.
  17. mvp 78
    I am the 1%!!!
  18. mvp 78
    I just can't believe he doesn't have a 162 game hitting streak!
  19. mvp 78
    That's not entirely true. If the roster was limitless, we'd have signed Lester or Scherzer. The concern was that having Lester on the roster in his late 30's would be a bad contract AND a waste of space on the roster.
  20. mvp 78
    Who were the best in season pickups you guys made? Mine: Verlander (thanks waiver wire) Porcello Duffy
  21. mvp 78
    DFA bad luck
  22. mvp 78
    A lot of people said over last offseason "pick up his option and trade him." It never happened then and it won't happen now.
  23. mvp 78
    Yup, even when the manager makes a few mistakes, it's still the players' fault... NO MATTER WHAT
  24. mvp 78
    I wasn't trolling. I was being honest in my assessment. If I make a sarcastic comment, there's usually some truth embedded in it. Honestly, I don't want Buchholz back, but I know for certain that the FO will bring him back.
  25. mvp 78
    So about that option that nobody but me thought would get picked up...
