    But she knows way more about the game we love so you should just let her flaunt her stuff and never presume to challenge her expertise.
  2. Spudboy
    No s***? I continue to learn so much about the game from so many people on this board.

    Even though I failed to see the obvious sarcasm in your post, my comment was not directed at you so much as it was instruction for Natick to chil and to ignore the Swihart nay sayers. I was wondering about the Colon comment. lol.
  4. Spudboy
    lol
  5. Spudboy
    As do I yours. Plus you are funny as f***. That counts for a lot around here. Or at least it used to, anyway.
  6. Spudboy
    lol. These are the same people that wanted to send Holt down or trade him. Now they are spewing jizz with how valuable Holt has been. If Swihart continues to play well watch these hypocrites pivot. Relax and enjoy the festivities!

    Boy does Swihart suck ass. He was dreadful tonight as expected. Can't hit for s***. Can't handle pitchers. Just DFA him now and move on.
  8. Spudboy
    More like Theo > Dan > Ben.

    He was pushed out. I've seen it happen in business and industry many times. He was not getting it done so he was replaced. It reminds me of an old Bobcat Goldthwait comedy routine. "I lost my job yesterday. Actually I did not really lose it. It's still there. Except someone else is doing it".

    That what I was wondering when they sent him to Ft Myers. I think they may have to bring him onto the 25 man by mid-July. I am not sure. I would hope that he had kept himself in shape while waiting for the phone to ring. That way he'd mostly need at bats to get his timing back.
  11. Spudboy
    lol
  12. Spudboy
    Yup. That and increased exposure to injury. I think he is an acceptable corner outfielder.
  13. Spudboy
    Yup. I think he may have an out clause. The clock may be ticking on him.
  14. Spudboy
    I think I agree. I don't know how many pitchers and position players for that matter were drafted under Ben. Yes, the Sox do not have an exemplary record when drafting pitchers. Is it Ben's fault? Did he say to his player development people "guys, we are not going to draft a lot of pitchers"? For that matter, was Ben really the architect and builder of such a good farm system? He certainly gets credit for doing so. It was done on his watch. But who made the decisions of who to scout and who to draft? Ben alone? I would think that this would be more of a consensus decision process with input from many in scouting and player development. Did Ben personally scour the country for talent? When Ben took over as GM did he immediately go out and hire a new staff of scouts and player development people? Do we know the answers to all of these questions?

    Still a .257 lifetime hitter with little pop.
  16. Spudboy
    I loved Joe Foy. That was a great time to watch baseball.
  17. Spudboy
    Why in the world would this guy be any good for the Sox? He is a .220 hitter with a .285 OBP for his career. We have two better players on the roster who can cover 2nd. Plus Swihart. Next.
  18. Spudboy
    Good stuff Dojji.
  19. Spudboy
    I agree with this 3rd baseman.
  20. Spudboy
    This is kind of a deflection of the issue about ERod - he is not economical with his pitches. It's kind of like saying "e mails!!!1!" Benghazzi" "What about Obumer?" Yeah, Price is way overpaid and far less of what we thought we would be seeing. Most are disappointed with his production and concerned about what he can do for this team going forward. E-Rod needs to improve. Spare me talk about how the Sox win most of his starts. I know that s***. I want him to be able to pitch deeper into games so the pen never gets taxed by his short outings.
  21. Spudboy
    Yup.
  22. Spudboy
    7 or more innings once in a while would be nice. It would help to keep the pen fresh for October.
  23. Spudboy
    Like many here I believe Pearce was a "good get". Certainly the way he has introduced himself to us has been entertaining and productive. He is hitting the s*** out of the ball right now. However, the guy is 35 years old and has never played more than 120 games for a team in one season. He has never had more than 383 PA in one season. He is a career .257 hitter with a .333 OBP. He does not have a record of hitting a lot of XBH. I am glad that DD got this guy. He gives us a decent back-up 1st baseman and platoon bat against lefties. Eventually the shine is going to wear off on this guy and many here will be bitching about how DD did not do enough to strengthen the roster for a playoff run. Everyone was anxious about Nunez resigning. Well he came back down to Earth and is what he has been for his career. I expect the same for Pearce.
  24. Spudboy
    Amen brah.

    No one cares.
