  1. Oddly enough, Porcello pitched 12 innings in spring games and only gave up 1 walk. Who knows, really?
  2. Nah, as it shows a little further down, Mookie broke that curse.
  3. The innings might finally be catching up to Rick. Hopefully not though.
  4. Sorry, but even talking about it at this point is silly.
  5. Here is the answer, under Article XXIII Competitive Balance Tax: G. Other Undertakings (1) Neither the Parties hereto nor any Club or any Player shall enter into any agreement, Uniform Player’s Contract or other trans- action, that includes any terms designed to defeat or circumvent the intention of the Parties as reflected by this Article XXIII.
  6. Where did you get those numbers?
  7. True, but this would be such a blatant and transparent attempt to circumvent the tax rules.
  8. I think Dave Dombrowski actually likes Swihart a lot. DD says he was the one who 'broke the tie' in the organization about whether Leon or Swihart would be DFA'd earlier. Then all hell broke loose with the pitching. Swihart has suffered from a lot of bad luck among other things.
  9. Nah. But when you're hitting .159 and you're a lousy fielder, it puts you 'in the conversation'.
  10. Porcello is probably drawing some consolation from the fact he's making $21 million this year. Which is $21 million more than Kimbrel and Keuchel.
  11. Eh, how much did he ask for - is that out there too?
  12. But you can deconstruct that as evidence too. Maybe it's all Tom Brady. Maybe Belichick is a great GM but not a great coach or strategist.
  13. Some things I accept on faith. I think Bill Belichick is probably a better than average coach and strategist, but I can't prove it.
  14. Let me know when any strategic/coaching aspect of any sport has been properly quantified.
  15. JBJ had a terrific spring with a 1.024 OPS in 48 PA's! I haven't checked his current stats but I assume he's off to a splendid start!
  16. There's a picture of Porcello grinning after he hit a double last year. Nothing makes pitchers happier than getting a hit.
  17. You were in a no-win situation.
  18. I just had a burger from Wendy's. Hamburger mojo!
  19. Getting Eovaldi for a full season was supposed to be an improvement, certainly over what it would have been if we let him walk. Obviously the results haven't been there yet.
  20. My mistake. I honestly didn't think our lineup needed any significant improvement. I would have thought getting another catcher would have been a move for the sake of making a move.
  21. Porcello was excellent for us in the playoffs last year. He also logged a lot of innings. That might have something to do with the poor start, not just the 'too much rest' thing.
  22. Pitching.
  23. We're on to Dazegate, Slasher.
