    I have argued myself that David Ortiz was a clutch hitter. But I would also admit that it's very hard to prove. David had plenty of playoff series where he didn't do very much, and I'm sure he was just as psyched in those series as he was in the ones where he hit well. The thing about hitting is that you're at the mercy of the pitcher and the defense to a large degree. They always have a big advantage over you.

    I agree. Unfortunately I didn't see it either.

    I don't know, danny. In that situation a sac fly was an unsuccessful play. It was not what the hitter was trying to do, or should have been trying to do. I can see supporting, but not celebrating. I think there's a big difference between the two.

    Very true Dewey.

    Cora has been trying everything with Sale and not much has worked. In the first half of 2018 Sale pitched great whether it was on 4 days rest or 5-6 days rest. He really hasn't been the same guy since then. And he hasn't been pitching that well with Leon behind the plate recently either. It's not Cora's fault. Sale just hasn't been right.

    Joe Kelly, huh? Kelly can be awful at times but when he has his command he can also be very tough. In the 2018 postseason against the Yankees, Astros and Dodgers, Kelly threw 11.1 innings with 13 K's and NO WALKS.

    Workman's got some crazy numbers. 12.5 K per 9 6.5 BB per 9 3.2 H per 9 He's keeping the ball in the park, with only 1 HR allowed in 39 IP.

    You're not making much sense. If a pitcher gets a guy to swing and miss at a pitch that finishes out of the zone that's a good pitch by the pitcher, and it always was.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I think he's great too. Haters gonna hate. Did you know he has a book coming out about the 2018 season? Remdawg also has a book coming out or already out.

    a. Hembree hasn't pitched in a real game since June 10 so you can understand a little trepidation making that his welcome back. b. Our pen is Russian Roulette no matter what you do.

    For a more recent example, a guy who could throw an amazing curveball when he was at his best was Josh Beckett.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I think it was Verlander who first complained that the balls were different. That was a while back now, it might have been 2017.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Now that's Recency Effect.
  14. Bellhorn04
    You do realize that there are more strikeouts now than ever?
  15. Bellhorn04
    He's as hot as the hinges of Hades.
  16. Bellhorn04
    I think it's a combo of the two. He has a nagging-type injury and it's affecting his hitting.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Let's hope Eovaldi doesn't become the next Carl "American Idle" Pavano.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I think I feel more allegiance to 'homegrown' players like Benintendi and JBJ.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Maybe we're using Velazquez as a one-inning opener?
  20. Bellhorn04
    There were no errors, officially. But I'll take Kimmi's word that there was some bad defense.
  21. Bellhorn04
    It's been a long-term problem of the team, and a strange one at that. What's also sort of strange or interesting is that Theo Epstein with the Cubs is following the same basic pattern of acquiring pitching by free agency and trades, not from within.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Cora did the same thing in the playoffs last year with Price and it worked out rather well. This year nothing works.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Don't misunderstand, Yaz is my all-time favorite. I'm just taking issue with the idea that Mookie's size will prevent him from having a long, productive career.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Baseball-Ref says Yaz was 5'11" and 175 pounds. So 2 inches taller and about the same weight. Not much of a difference IRT to the durability issue being discussed.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Yaz was about the same size as Mookie.
