    I wouldn't say that.
  2. Bellhorn04
    And he's not even on the list of prospects!

    I've NEVER seen ANY team's offense do what the Yankees are doing this year. To have so many significant injuries, but then to have to so many former no-names step in and post crazy good numbers...it's been uncanny.
  4. Bellhorn04
    I thought he meant chasing 3 teams and having to catch 2 of them was better than chasing 2 teams and having to catch both.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Correct.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Some of these guys (Lemahieu, Urshela, Tauchman) are due for significant regression next year, too. They're having the magical seasons this year.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Johnson's a bit of a soft tosser, isn't he? So he has to hit his spots on the button or he will be hurt.
  8. Bellhorn04
    The Yankees will never have any payroll issues!
  9. Bellhorn04
    Oakland ain't far from San Fran though.
  10. Bellhorn04
    You're missing Denny's question too. He's not saying Johnson's good.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Aren't you the same guy who's been blaming everything on our starting pitching sucking? You've even said it didn't matter if we had a better bullpen because the starting pitching would have sunk us anyway.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Denny's question, though, is what's the difference between starting him and having him pitch innings 3 through 6.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Did the 2004 Sox feel like a championship team when they were down 3-0 to the Yanks? Did the 2007 Sox feel like a championship team when they were down 3-1 to the Tribe? Not exactly...
  14. Bellhorn04
    But honestly, teams don't really feel like champions until they are champions. Even late last season and into the playoffs, if you go through the threads here you'll find that a lot of people were very worried about our rotation coming through, because none of them had any postseason success. (Plus Sale's health was iffy.) A lot of people thought Houston would take us if we got that far.

    Alex is a big believer in loading RH hitters against LH starters, and JBJ has bad splits, it's as simple as that. But when your RH hitters are guys like Owings and Gorkys and they do squat, some questioning will occur.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Hard to say, but maybe 2-3 games better. Also, it's possible that if we were in a better position at the deadline they would have made a further effort to bolster the pen.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Burnt on the Brazier (SIC).
  18. Bellhorn04
    DD should have at least signed one proven reliever.
  19. Bellhorn04
    I mean the treatment of Luck by a lot of people was unfair, regardless of his timing.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Well, he's certainly had enough time to think about it. But there are external factors that could still have a big impact, like a bad report on Sale's elbow, or JD opting out.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Only JH knows. And he ain't sayin' yet.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Agreed. But it's not exactly fair, is it?
  23. Bellhorn04
    But how's it make the 2020 team better?
  24. Bellhorn04
    Also, I should have mentioned, Rob Gronkowski retired at about the same age and for the same reasons as Luck, but his retirement seems to have met with a much better response, presumably because he did it early and because, well, because he's Gronk.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I'm not so sure it would be awesome for Boston. They would have $22 million more to play with, but for one year only. I don't see a huge benefit.
