  1. @alexspeier Betts, the weak link in the Sox lineup so far, is on pace for 28 HR and 35 SB
  2. What's wrong with Hanley? Nada! What's wrong with Mookie? Nada!
  3. @redsoxstats Moncada 2-2 2B, 2 BB, 2 SB
  4. 1. Vazquez 2. Bradley 3. Betts 4. Pedey 5. Hanley
  5. I think Felger is more Mad Dog than Francesa. Isn't Francesa supposed to be a little endearing?
  6. Price will throw 21 k's tonight. Book it.
  7. Batting title? No chance this year. He hasn't had a batting average this high since playing for Salem.
  8. There is only one active moderator on here, so I don't think his time should be spent determining which threads to bury unless they don't fit in our format. Unless we are going to pass around a collection plate for YOTN, I don't believe he has the time for that. I think he's doing a great job on his own and don't believe more needs to be put on his plate. Your White Sox post may have been better received if it was titled "Are We at a Season Defining Moment for the Sox?" Since posts tend to stick around for a while here, it would be better if the title was more descriptive of what the discussion would be about. Contrarian views are fine by me.
  9. http://nesn.com/2015/05/ben-cherington-refutes-jackie-bradley-jr-charlie-furbush-trade-rumor/ I'm not an Edes fan to begin with. Edes responded to Ben by saying "yeah, well, one of the teams in the trade WAS my source you ninnymuggins!"
  10. Consider yourself very lucky, my friend... He is the absolute smarmiest dink you could put on the radio and one of the reasons I barely listen to sports radio anymore.
  11. I read something today that Ben said there was no truth to the rumours. Idk... It's all just speculation on our parts. Not sure why the Mariners would ever say no to that deal.
  12. You mentioned that JBJ is bigger. During August of last year, Felger (local radio hack) would make a god awful clearing of his voice noise that insinuated that JBJ's physique wasn't natural. To me, a 25 year old putting on muscle mass isn't a huge revelation.
  13. Last year at this time was the Charlie Furbush for JBJ rumors... Yuck.
  14. *insert annoying Felger clearing his throat noise* I think JBJ has always had a good hit tool. I think he just tinkered with his swing too much and it took him off his game. He's still very young and not a finished product. The best is yet to come with him.
  15. No one is telling you not to make new posts. It's just a suggestion to avoid topics like "wow, last night's game was great" when there is already a thread for it or "Travis Shaw is a beast" if there is already a thread about 3b or Shaw still on the front page. Also, if there are limited resources on this website, how could one reasonably expect there to be a mechanism for daily site purging? We are used to fewer threads because it's easier to track which conversation belongs where. When there are 4 different threads about Buchholz, it just dilutes the conversation rather than adds to it. As the great UN? once said, "bigger isn't always better, it's the motion in the ocean." If you have a great idea for a thread, make a new one.
  16. Oh boy! Fan drops ball segment with Gary Striseskmiskiski! Thanks NESN!
  17. Haven't noticed. Been too much Lyons for my liking.
  18. Considering the flak that some people get around here for "psychoanalyzing" Panda and his eating habits, this is an even greater leap in logic. I don't see him thinking that way personally and tend to just think his defense will look better over the long term. At most, maybe it's the case where he needs to spend more time working on his offense and his defense has suffered a little?
  19. Also, defensive metrics are spotty at best right now.
  20. Aren't you the guy complaining about SSS in other posts? I could be wrong. This seems to be the case here since his defensive WAR is well above replacement for 2014 and 2015. Should we expect that he will end the season with 4 errors (which would tie his career total)? I wouldn't expect that.
  21. I can't argue with that. I don't think any stat is perfect.
