  1. No Larry.
  2. His SB's are way done, that's for sure.
  3. I think the words 'gravity' and 'slow' in the thread title were clever little puns by mvp - the extra weight is causing gravity to slow AB down.
  4. Good old game threads. Probably all of us had that thought, but game threads encourage you to write that thought down.
  5. I agree with you. Now, it must be said that cp is right about the thing he keeps harping on, which is that Cora is fine with JDM hitting third in spite of analytics which show that third is for your fifth-best hitter.
  6. 2 for 4 with a walk last night. .803 OPS It's not like he's sucking.
  7. That happened with two Red Sox players one season in the Francona years...numbers-wise, at least.
  8. I would agree that it's hard to name a lot of great #2 hitters. On the other hand, were Manny and Papi great #3 hitters or great #4 hitters? The fact is they swapped those spots quite a bit. Just like JDM has been doing while he's been with us.
  9. I would say no. Certainly not now. Once upon a time you might say there was some mystique attached to the great leadoff hitters and base stealers like Lou Brock and Rickey Henderson.
  10. Well yes, I was talking about him in his prime.
  11. Italian guys love to eat, especially carbs of course, and you really have to keep an eye on them.
  12. I don't know if I would call it a prestige in batting leadoff. There's a common perception based on history that the leadoff hitter is a guy with some speed and an ability to get on base - the 'table-setter'.
  13. Mookie is hitting .133 at leadoff this year (8 game sample) and .315 batting second.
  14. Cora thought that Mookie would get more RBI opportunities batting second. That's pretty simple, really. Mookie might have a psychological thing where he feels better hitting first, though.
  15. He raised his OPS from 517 to 720 last night.
  16. He looks cooked. He'll probably put a few in the porch though.
  17. Personally I'm going to wait till I see a more credible source on this rumor...
  18. I don't think a rusty, declining Craig Kimbrel is necessarily the answer for the pen.
  19. Yep. I beat you by 4 minutes though.
  20. And get this: that one walk came in the first inning of the first of the three games. Since that walk, it's 40 K's no walks
  21. Maybe Cora should flip Betts and Beni in the 1-2 spots?
  22. 108 pitches on a cold-ass night in May is plenty.
  23. Devers is making me want to call him Hit Dog or something goofy like that.
