how did I possibly miss this when I watch Intentional Talk almost every day
-
Really can't wait for this, even if I don't agree with a LOT of his managerial decisions, Francona seems like a cool guy to talk about baseball with, and anyway to see McCarver go is completely welcome. Maybe he'll even make me forget he's communicating with Joe Buck.
-
Comparing Crisp and Reddick's numbers from 2011, they are pretty similar actually, although Reddick would probably have better ones overall had he played all year. Crisp is below average at hitting, who has value in baserunning yeah, but don't we already have that with Crawford and Ellsbury (even Kalish has potential to steal a lot). No point in doing any of it, just start Reddick next year and hope for the best, and if he can't perform, there a few guys on the bench who are capable of playing RF, at least for a little while.

When I said I don't like the plainness, I was talking more about the Road uniforms, I love the home ones. Bring these ones back!
-
I'd say most of the hardcore Red Sox fans watch the whole post-season, I know I do. It hasn't been as exciting as last year, but I suppose nothing can compare to the Lincecum complete game, then Halladay no-hitter in just two days. Congrats to the Rangers for taking the Rays out, I hope I can say the same about the Tigers today. Before the post-season started, decided I'm rooting for the Brewers, great to see them take a 2-0 lead and hopefully sweep tonight, they have a great team.
-
One thing I never liked about the Boston uniforms are that they are so plain, I wouldn't mind much, but wouldn't it be awesome if we could have throwback days where we wear stuff like this? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bgHGzPlAdwI/TaeWHdWJ9AI/AAAAAAAAANQ/4NoikxfUO3g/s1600/houston-astros.jpg

With the Rangers win today, there is absolutely nothing I would love seeing more than both the Yankees and Rays going out first round of the playoffs

"But it was hard to deal with daily lineup suggestions delivered by everyone from Bill James to new stat guru Tom Tippett. Epstein and the minions were relentless." Why not just have Bill James general manage now that I think of it, he already seems to have a pretty big voice in the organization, and the guy seems to do no wrong. I doubt he'd let them sign guys like Lackey or Crawford either, knowing how much they would decline during their years.
-
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Joe Maddon is a genius. If he was managing the Red Sox he would of put those clubhouse egos right back in there place, and made so many better decisions.

I felt like I was slowly coming to acceptance, until I saw this. http://sports.mobile.msn.com/en-us/mlb/article.aspx?aid=1003245&acid=2&afid=49

Anyone else notice that Showalter had the most orgasmic smile you'll ever see after the Red Sox lost? What a prick
-
I really wish I could, I'm so shocked and awed by what's happened today I can't even sleep. But what are you going to do :dunno: Even if Drew's gone, what about Lackey, what about Dice-K? Or even worse, what if Francona was to stay? I don't think it'll happen, but wouldn't that be horrid.
-
Was more so listing a list of well known managers who didn't play much in the MLB, I wouldn't even put Francona close to the likes of La Russa, Cox, or even Ron Washington.
-
I've noticed superstar players never have tended to be very good managers, if you notice, it's usually lesser known ones that didn't play every day, Francona, Ron Washington, Bobby Cox, Tony La Russa etc. I don't think Fisk works for any MLB teams, It'd be pretty risky to have someone who hasn't been in the MLB since the early 90s attempt to have such a big job. I still say Varitek should get the job, we should start some sort of campaign for it.
-
I know we won and all, but maybe it wouldn't of been so damn close if our clean up hitter in Lowrie didn't go 0 for 5. That decision still makes absolutely no sense to me, I'm pretty sure they won't do that again tomorrow, but if they don't start Lavarnway in the last game, Francona's ass is gonna get canned.
-
That seriously had to be the most nerve-racking moment of my life.
-
Not have instant replay they said...
-
People say the Rays, but I think the Orioles are a better example of how Pitching and Defense wins games.
-
Jed Lowrie against Britton .000/.000/.000 in 3 PA I can't even contain my anger against Francona right now, get him the hell out of there.
-
I don't want to keep going on and on about this Aceves thing, but this team's 3-7 in games he has pitched in this month. I don't care if he hasn't done too great this year starting, we haven't even attempted to try him yet lately, we're putting f***ing 45 year Wakefield out there in important games at Yankee Stadium. The 29 other managers of MLB teams would of known what to do by now, the fans know it, Papi knows it, and I bet Epstein knows it, but it's probably too late.
-
As awesome as that sounds, it's too bad great players don't usually translate to great managers, just look at Frank Robinson. Maybe we should try Varitek as a player-manager, he is the captain, who would be better than him at handling the team? The way the Sox have played recently doesn't have anything to do with Francona's managing style, right now it's all about the pitching, and as we all know Tek is great at handling them. Just imagine the Sox minus all the stupid decisions (bring Ace out in a game that we have basically no chance in and not starting him), and taking a pitcher out when he's doing reasonably well.

Come on Scut, you're our last chance
-
Yeah, why not start him when we can put him in games we have virtually no chance in. This team's logic is non-existent
