    The point flew right over your head. Bard wasn't given a chance to start just because it fit organizational philosophy. Organizational philosophy was adjusted to fit Bard's desire to start. The guy wanted to make his money, and they didn't want a malcontent who they knew didn't have the goods to close setting up for a lesser pitcher. The funny thing is, hindsight is 20/20, and it's easy to drop the blame-hammer now, especially when you ignore key facts.

    The numbers: Major-league best 18-7 record. 3rd in MLB in runs, first in SB, second in Fangraph's baserunning rating, 2nd in OPS. 9th in ERA (4th in Starter's ERA), first in K's, 13th in WHIP. They are also 5th in UZR and 1st in UZR/150. I know it's early in the season, but every possible indicator so far suggests that the current Red Sox are one of the best teams in the league, even though several important pitching pieces and Ortiz have already missed time with injury.

    But was it not Bard who suggested the idea? Would you, trying to run an organization not try to allow players to thrive in the roles they feel more comfortable with? Make no mistake, this isn't the first time Bard had requested to be converted to a starter. Part of the reason he was allowed to is because it fit a need, but it's f***ing disingenous to say it was cherington's decision. Responding to the idea that it wasn't all Bard's idea (when it was) just like it was Papelbon's some time ago with "Was Bard the GM last year?" is an exercise in ignorance. GM's aren't dictators that don't allow players/managers to try new things they think could benefit themselves and the team. The point doesn't even make sense, seeing how Aceves came into camp stretched out with every assurance that if anything happens, he'd be given a shot at the rotation.....and then was, albeit with disastrous results. Is Aceves the GM this year? Please.

    It wasn't Cherington, or LL or Henry, or BV or Farrell. Bard was the one who started the rotation experiment. This is common knowledge.

    Because baseball is a game of averages, we better not be in the way of the Angels when those two beasts finally awaken.

    Money alone can't fix that team.

    Oh, and Rick Ankiel has 10 hits this season, and 8 of them have been XBH's.

    Regardless of what happens with the last two batters, i believe this will be the game with the least strikeouts for the Sox staff so far this season.

    Yeah yeah, back to the baseball game the Sox are about to win. Best record in the Majors.

    Do you argue with women? I don't. It's an unwinnable battle. You should know this from your interactions with Emmz. Just leave 'em alone and ensure peace for mankind.

    Cranberry juice gives me heartburn, and so does your incessant dogging of VA.

    Not even the umps can stop Ortiz, and God knows they're trying.....

    I count at least 4 called strikes against Ortiz today that were clearly not strikes.

    I think that, in order to preserve my mojo, i will raise a petition to the mods to ban a700 from GT's i start. His ******** is seriously cramping my flow.
  19. User Name
    Yet there were some saying they should get rid of him because he's a "diva". LOL. I'll take a "diva" any day if it swings the stick like this.

Predictions: 6-3 Red Sox win. Ortiz homers.
