    Same. Following my premise that his remarks can be interpreted any way you want, I think they might actually be directed at the fans too, and that the unfiltered version would be something like this: 'Look, we're already spending our asses off to bring parades to you. But as soon as anything goes wrong you start whining like pussies and pointing fingers in every direction. Well, don't look at me to spend any more, you miserable, ungrateful pricks.'

    oldtimer, Eovaldi made 4 starts this year before they announced the new issue with loose bodies in his elbow, which our resident doctor says could be bits of cartilage or some such thing. I see no reason to think this was something they knew about in the offseason and could have dealt with then. Where are you getting the idea that they knew about it before the season?
  3. Bellhorn04
    Yes, it's quite possible that the main point of Henry's remarks was simply to alert the fans to the fact that he wasn't intending to spend any more and to deflect any criticism that might be directed at him for not doing so. Defending himself, in other words. Everyone is reading into his comments what they want to read into them.

    The offseason just past, with the Machado and Harper contracts, gave a clear reminder that all you need is one owner who wants to make a splash and the megabucks shall be produced.
  5. Bellhorn04
    That was after 2017. So we would have missed his MVP season and maybe not won the World Series in 2018.
  6. Bellhorn04
    I'm talking about the $68 million.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Eovaldi counts as an actual major addition by most standards.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Tomorrow actually.

    Here's the part that seems to be directed toward DD: “My take is that maybe it isn’t the best thing in the world to bring back the same team in its entirety every time,” Henry said. “You don’t want to break a team down. But maybe a few changes wouldn’t hurt. But the feeling is always different after you win, apparently.”

    Kind of a fishy 21 runs though. Let's see how many they score in the next foreign country...
  11. Bellhorn04
    Not realistic IMHO. They're not going to rip the guts out of the team. Porcello is the most likely to be traded, because his contract's up.
  12. Bellhorn04
    He kind of said a lot in a few words, without explicitly throwing anyone under the bus. Pretty well done, really.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Maybe the mound was too far from the plate.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Well, he is also saying the talent is there and the team needs to play better. That's on the players and on Cora as well.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Yes.
  16. Bellhorn04
    I thought he might be taking a few pokes at Dombrowski for essentially bringing back the same team.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I don't know what the deal on the ballpark was, but 50 runs in 2 games is insane.
  18. Bellhorn04
    No, he did refer to 2014. It's not always disastrous to bring back the same team. The 2008 team came close to going back to back with no changes.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Billy Martin tried to stop the pampering, big time, with the 1980 Oakland A's. It didn't work out so well for the guys in that rotation.
  20. Bellhorn04
    danny, experience has shown that when a starting pitcher throws an unusually high number of pitches in a game, it impacts him negatively in his next several starts. A classic example of recent years was when Edwin Jackson threw his 149-pitch no-hitter. He was absolute garbage for about 6 or 7 starts after that. I also remember a game where Tito let Schilling throw 130-something pitches, and Curt was awful his next few starts, and Tito took his lumps for it.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I'm with you. Try him. I am starting to wonder if Dave is slipping into dementia or something.
  22. Bellhorn04
    I do get what you're saying, 100%. As far as the particular situation we're talking about: Cora brought Brewer in in the 6th to face the 7-8-9 hitters. Brewer threw 15 pitches. He had thrown 15 pitches on Saturday as well. Cora brought Walden in in the 7th to face the top of the order, using the philosophy that you use your better relievers to face the better hitters. I can understand some questioning of why not stick with Brewer a little longer. But I can also see an argument for going to Walden. The box of chocolates has become a box of dog turds, unfortunately.

    There are large differences between the luxury tax payroll numbers this Roster Resource guy produces and the ones Cot's Contracts produces. It's rather annoying. I'm quite sure the Red Sox are not at $251 million already. It's about $240 million per Cot's.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Sure, let's just trade off 3/5 of the starting rotation. You're a moron.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Keep in mind the Yankee starting pitchers only lasted a total of 1.2 innings in the 2 games.
