    Oakland ain't far from San Fran though.

    You're missing Denny's question too. He's not saying Johnson's good.
  3. 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.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Denny's question, though, is what's the difference between starting him and having him pitch innings 3 through 6.

    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...
  6. 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.
  8. 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.

    Burnt on the Brazier (SIC).

    DD should have at least signed one proven reliever.
  11. Bellhorn04
    I mean the treatment of Luck by a lot of people was unfair, regardless of his timing.
  12. 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.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Only JH knows. And he ain't sayin' yet.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Agreed. But it's not exactly fair, is it?
  15. Bellhorn04
    But how's it make the 2020 team better?
  16. 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.

    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.
  18. Bellhorn04
    The Pearce signing came before the Eovaldi signing, right?
  19. Bellhorn04
    You wonder in cases like this if there might be some skullduggery behind the scenes, like the White Sox GM mentioning to Boras that they are itching to spend like fools on a DH. When JD Drew opted out of his Dodgers deal and signed with the Sox there were some malicious little rumors that JD knew he was gonna be better off opting out...
  20. Bellhorn04
    IMHO it's on both DD and JH if they decided it was Pearce or a reliever.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Cleveland now has Aaron Civale in their rotation and pitching very well. They took Civale in the 3rd round of the 2016 draft. And guess where he played university ball - Northeastern! It really is frustrating that the Sox can't seem to make picks like that.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Anything is better than another Yankees-Twins series.
  23. Bellhorn04
    At the end of the season, we'll probably be able to say that if Dombrowski had done a better job with the pen we would have been in the Wild Card game.
  24. Bellhorn04
    A couple of things I wonder about this: 1) Will the immense popularity of the Pats continue when the Brady/Belichick era of dominance inevitably ends? 2) Will kids ever fully realize that football is a sport that wreaks havoc on the body, that forces a star quarterback like Andrew Luck to retire at 29 because of the relentless injuries and fear of living the rest of his life in chronic, debilitating pain?
  25. Bellhorn04
    Here's my way of phrasing it: I would prefer that the Yankees beat out Houston for first overall. That means they would not be playing Minnesota in the first round. They would be playing the Wild Card winner. Which could be Cleveland, Oakland, Tampa or us. If it's not us, Oakland looks like the matchup that could give the Yankees the most trouble.
