  1. Nevermind. Forgot about his ankle/heel or whatever it was.
  2. i can't believe Ortiz isn't on 2nd base right now.
  3. Way to beat that out Ells!!!
  4. A's leadoff homerun. Another LHH hits a bomb off of Sabathia.
  5. Score runs. Early. And. Often.
  6. I would be extremely pissed if the Sox dished Crawford. But this is ridiculous. I would be shocked if the Sox even entertained offers on him if he was claimed, and if they did entertain offers, Theo would have to be blown out of the water to make a move.
  7. They always put everyone on waivers. I believe they even put Buchholz on waivers last year. They'll pull him back if he gets claimed, it's more of a disguising technique. I'd be more interested in who they put on waivers along with him.
  8. Because... When he was 22, he didn't SLG .402. And now he's 26, and SLG .462? Oh wait, those numbers are correct. I guess you're not allowed to increase your SLG by 6% over 5 seasons of progression. Or maybe it's because he's actually getting consistent at bats this season. Something he hasn't gotten since he was, wait for it....22 years old. It's crazy, the things you see when you aren't trying to manipulate information.
  9. Seems like you were being pretty arrogant and matter-of-fact about this being a fluke season. Now you're saying that it is sustainable. So you're saying flukes are sustainable. Or maybe it's not a fluke. And maybe you're wrong? But that can't be right because it would completely contradict your other comment. Hmmm...
  10. Smartest thing said today.
  11. Good. You never had a chance. Your argument had no weight.
  12. Yeah. I can't think of a single player who progressed significantly from the age gap of 22-25 to the age gap of 26-30. And by the way. Have you seen the AL catchers? Salty's .770 OPS right now ranks 3rd. And have you never heard the phrase "The trend is your friend"? Salty is trending upward. Do you think that it may actually be possible that he's developing as a hitter, and the past 4 months are a representation of that? Or, no, that's not possible because he's only done it for 4 months and he is unable to progress over his career numbers at the age of 25. Who's being irrational again?
  13. it's pretty easy to read that you're calling this season a fluke based on career stats, which are substantially influenced (37%) by his stats at 22. Maybe you just don't understand how progression works. :dunno:
  14. Well to be fair, Beltre's replacement, Moreland, went 2/4, so it's not like they are getting zero production out of the slot where Beltre would be hitting. To say that Beltre would have had a better night than 2/4 is a pretty bold statement.
  15. My dear God. Are you serious right now?? This has to be a joke. Salty is 26. His career stats are from the ages of 22-25. 37% of his career numbers came from when he WAS 22 YEARS OLD!!! Please forgive us for realizing that players have the ability to develop. I'm sorry that you're unable to process that simple fact. You can discount the fact that he had a horrible start because of high pressure all you want, but pardon me if I'm more apt to judge him based on his past 250 PA than his first 45. Once he settled down and became familiar with the pitching staff and the system, what has he done? Oh, not much, just hit .259/.322/.509/.831. But no, you're right. He's not allowed to put up good numbers because he had bad career numbers by the time he was 25. :wetodd::wetodd::wetodd:
  16. This is a bit ridiculous. I can see how you can argue that, with Youkilis and Ortiz in the lineup, Crawford shouldn't crack the top 5. But with both Youk and Ortiz out of the lineup, there's no way that Crawford shouldn't be hitting 2nd, but guys like Darnell, Scutaro, etc are hitting 2nd.
  17. Colby Lewis on Red Sox lineup: "I'm just lucky as hell that Youkilis and Ortiz were out."
  18. Eat it Washington!!!! THATTA BOY PEDROIA!!!!!
