  1. Bees seize field and wreak havoc on Giants-Reds game By Associated Press CINCINNATI — A swarm of bees settled above the backstop screen shortly before the first pitch, prompting an 18-minute delay to the start of a game between the Giants and Reds. The game began after the swarm moved toward the upper deck. It’s the second time the Giants have been involved in a bee delay in Cincinnati. A swarm went into the Giants’ dugout at Riverfront Stadium on April 17, 1976, forcing a 35-minute delay. The Reds won the game 11-0. There was a 17-minute bee delay before another game at Riverfront on May 11, 1987, against the Phillies. Reds starter Ted Power got stung on his hand.
  2. Jeezus. Do you recall who was the 2018 ALCS MVP and why he won it?
  3. It's ovah!
  4. JBJ isn't overrated by anyone. Every year someone starts a thread about getting rid of him, so his supporters just defend his value.
  5. I know.
  6. Jeter's WAR always held up. I wasn't a big fan of him personally of course, but his WAR speaks for his value.
  7. There's a reason WAR has become a very popular measuring tool. It takes defense into account too. JBJ's WAR has been acceptable to good 4 straight years from 2015 to 2018.
  8. WAR says no. Chavis already has a 1.0 bWAR.
  9. Seems to me his preference is to trade prospects who haven't yet proven they can play at this level.
  10. If he doesn't, Cora will sit him down more. But he will.
  11. You're not explaining why they're so different. The issue with both is that they're off to horrible starts with the bat, isn't it?
  12. You are pretty reasonable, Denny.
  13. Good point about the warming up part, which sometimes gets overlooked.
  14. So what's the earliest you would use your best reliever in a regular season game, say in May?
  15. Pearce seems plenty expendable right now. But history suggests he will improve his numbers, just as Bradley will, and that it would be pretty stupid to cut loose every hitter who gets off to a terrible start.
  16. That's true. But the flip side also happens. Fans pointing out former Red Sox players who are doing well, and complaining about them being let go instead of Player X who was kept instead. Sports fans are miserable, hateful pricks, generally speaking.
  17. Anyone who wants to get rid of JBJ must also want to get rid of Pearce, whose numbers are even worse.
  18. So you're saying, apparently, that there are only a few good bullpens, and those few good ones are the ones with the guys making all the money.
  19. Most are not. You just said so yourself.
  20. Denny, if most bullpens stink, that means most relief pitchers stink. In which case there's not much point spending on them, is there?
  21. What about it? It's not like a bunch of other AL teams radically improved.
  22. Are you even serious?
