    Detroit collapsed just like that.

    Cmon Yton, It was about Samardzija. I just wanted to point out that Samardzija is in that group haha.
  3. iortiz
    what happened with deGrom? s***, he is in my fantasy team.
  4. iortiz
    Samardzija is in the group of pitchers lead by Porcello I do not like.
  5. iortiz
    Yeah, actually I had thought in a scenario like that but keeping Cespedes. Using Porcello's and Castillo's money I would have resigned Lester. All these scenarios were talked in the offseason. Unfortunately Ben's plan was a mistake since day 1 and some of us were very vocal about that.

    Boston +120, I like our chances.

    Kelly has been solid in his last 2 starts. We are going to win this one.
  8. iortiz
    Honestly I prefer Ells (when healthy) over both Hanley and Castillo, I probably would have used what we paid for them to keep Ells, IDK. The thing with Ells is that he just can not stay healthy.
  9. iortiz
    It's called collateral damage. This is why you have to build a solid rotation. Our rotation taxed their incompetence to our BP. Taz should emit an invoice to our rotation. Hopefully they didn't damage his arm.
  10. iortiz
    Well, I can't complain. This year has gone very well for me.
  11. iortiz
    My bold prediction is that JBJ becomes a better player than Ells and way more durable.
  12. iortiz
    some still say that any reliever can close.
  13. iortiz
    mmmm nope. why the question? in their own roles Ellsbury is by far more talented and it is not debatable.
  14. iortiz
    yup, but this is just a preamble... unfortunately. My bold prediction is that DD is going to get rid of him somehow. Send him to PIT, probably out there he is going to be a decent mid rotation guy.
  15. iortiz
    We are paying a similar AVV salary to Porcello and the difference in talent is from earth to the moon.
  16. iortiz
    Those plans showed to Ben the exit door.
  17. iortiz
    2012 needs to be thrown because of the BV factor? Really? LOL! Also, the 2014 and 2015 plans were solid and more fluke? LOL! This is why Ben is very gone. Regarding 2015 I said that the rotation was going to be the worst of the last ten years. It wasn't but it was close.
  18. iortiz
    Yup, it's not hard to understand.
  19. iortiz
    A lot of reports said that Ben was asking for him at the time, I clearly remember.
  20. iortiz
    I remember that Ben was even trying to bring back Papelbon since our closers were pathetic. It was so great to see Taz and Koji in 2013, it was an automatic win when we were winning after the 7th.
  21. iortiz
    Letting walk Cespedes was a huge mistake, I was very vocal at the time, even unknowing that Porcello was involved for his trade. Then I realized that Porcello was the trade chip and I said OMG Ben. The rest is history. Ben is no longer here.
  22. iortiz
    Koji was not even the closer when the season started and no one in this planet saw his performance coming, not even the most optimistic. David Ortiz posted a ridiculous OPS specially in PO. Lackey came from hell. Lester was a stud specially in PO. Etc. I mean, everything was so perfect. If you try to do it again 1 million times in the middle of 3 disaster years, the probabilities are close to zero since those years will suggest you that a good plan is not in effect... reason why I call it fluke.
  23. iortiz
    When you see consistency and success (like DET in recent years) year after year and then you win it all, you can make a case that a plan and a strategy aligned with the execution, was in effect to support the result. 2013 Boston Red Sox is in the middle of 3 horrible years (last place in every year) reason why I call it fluke... But again, without taking away credit to any player in that year... Where some of them put their best numbers in their careers and will never happen again... look at Koji, just for name one.
  24. iortiz
    2013 was fluke year. The stars aligned. No one expected what most of the players delivered that year, not even the FO. On the other hand, I won't take away credit to any member of that team, included the FO.
  25. iortiz
    The GM only will help to make the diligences but the calls are going to be made by DD IMO. Just like in CHC.
