    I couldn't put it better.

    As I said, once the line is published it is about offer/demand and still they read between the lines other facts which could affect the event. On the other hand, when the line is going to be set for the very first time, the odd makers consider a lot of things like stats, projections etc and Not who the casinos think the betting public will put their money towards as you are presenting.

    Correct. First off, the odd makers are who set the lines based on a lot of things like stats, projections, etc. Then, once the bets are rolling and even before a game/event starts the offer/demand (The line is always changing) is considered as well mostly in those casinos or betting pages where you can book a bet even when the game is already started. What I found interesting is that in the long run when you correlate the odds and the wins, it is practically even reason why the house always win since the majority of the bettors chose fav teams.

    Lol whata load of BS.

    Well, the lines have changed since the last time I checked out. The lowest line is for the Nats +600. Then you have LAD+700, LAA +900, Det +1100, STL +1200 and the Sox +1400. Seems like the casinos are not that confident anymore about the WS but we are still ahead of the other teams of the division.

    It was prior to the NAts signing Scherzer. Let me update the lines.

    As I said, some weeks ago the Sox were not only fav to win the division but the WS LOL! the line was 9/1, the best odd to any team. If NY land Shields I will put my money on them to win the division, unfortunately.

    While I do not like this rotation at all, you are right here, time will tell. Hopefully I'm death wrong in my assessment and they perform as some are projecting. .
  9. iortiz
    Yeah I just read it at MLBR. Seems like he has a lot of offers, hopefully he ends up somewhere else.

    Seems like another s*** storm is about to begin and guess who is in the middle of it... agin? yes U? no big surprise here. His track record is out of this world.

    A lot of Red Sox fans think the same about the current rotation. Thing is that we take away our Red Sox glasses while others don't.

    I know you are a yankee fan and all jacko but unfortunately this is how I feel. When the offseason started I said that we needed not one but 2 solid arms. As u said, we are relying a lot on a bunch of underachieving AND injury prone arms. Aside Kelly, neither of them will be part of our core pitching staff going forward.
  13. iortiz
    I think Shields > Hamels. Plus he has pitched in the AL (even with those "friendly pitching environments") AND most important he only would cost money.
  14. iortiz
    He has a solid ERA pitching at BAL, TOR and TB, but when he pitched at BOS or NY he wasn't that good.
  15. iortiz
    If we do not sign him, I only hope that any team in the ALE does not.
  16. iortiz
    75 M? If this is not the right price, then I do not know what it is.
  17. iortiz
    This. Not sure what the right price is. Lester at 120 M would have looked like the right price to me. Shields at 100 M isn't a bargain but fair enough for all parts. Some still saying that the Lester-Shields signing was a pipe dream. I do not get it. They were vey affordable even if it meant not signing Panda and/or HR.
  18. iortiz
    oh that. I meant coverage haha. Sometimes the auto correct doesn't work as I would wish... On the other hand, We also get it, you always will support whatever the FO makes, it is pretty clear.
  19. iortiz
    What words?
  20. iortiz
    If we had the coverage and quality at the pitching farm that TB used to run by Friedman in recent years I would have said oks to the "young controllable arms" strategy;... Since we are far to be in that position, that strategy wouldn't make sense right now. Also, you have money. Problem is that they have distributed it horrible. We have a very unbalanced team, and this pitching staff looks mediocre at best.

    I believe Jon here all the way. He said at the time as well that he would give to the Red Sox a "team discount" over and over and over again. Also, saying that they didn't want Lester from the beginning is absurd considering all the diligences they made, even JH himself tried to land him making a last offer in his house in Atlanta. It didn't work out. Let's face it, they shitted the bed big time. They simply misread his value with that ridiculous 70 M offer. They could have landed Jon at something around (120 M) easily. Yeah! He's all gone, unfortunately. I'm just pointing out what Lester himself said just after he signed with the Cubs since some people here doubt it. Now... We have a mediocre rotation going forward. Some people here have a lot of faith on this staff, and it is oks, and probably just a few here and a lot more outside, agree with me saying that this rotation is the worst in the last 10 Y entering into a season. Time will tell.

    http://nesn.com/2014/12/jon-lester-probably-would-have-accepted-120m-offer-from-red-sox-in-spring/ Jon Lester signed a six-year, $155 million contract with the Chicago Cubs last week. The Red Sox were the runners-up in the Lester free agency sweepstakes, but it’s possible Boston could have signed the left-hander to a contract extension last spring if it offered him something in the range of five years and $120 million. “That is one of those deals where hindsight is 20/20. You go back in time and you look at it and you go, ‘probably yes,’ ” Lester said Thursday on WEEI’s “Hot Stove Show.” “I mean, you don’t know. I mean, it is one of those deals where when it is sitting in front of you, that is a lot of money to turn down. That would have made it very difficult to turn it down.” Something around 120 M at the time would have made it done, no doubt.

    I'm just trying to be funny as well, why are you complaining? Could you stop being an *******?.
  24. iortiz
    I think Spud, Kim, sk and even Bell have disagreed at some extent with me in this topic but I have never ever attacked them at all. Never. The discussion always was about baseball. On the other hand these 2 idiots get irritated about this topic since well... They are FO suckers, and somehow they always take it personal when someone points out something that they do wrong like the Lester thing.
  25. iortiz
    The only conclusion here is that you and your homophobic bitch are *******s.
