That's good to hear, seriously. If he was really not progressing at all, somebody in the media would be onto it and would be letting us know.
-
You hit the nail on the head there, it's all just stuff to talk about.
-
Red Sox fans are a lucky bunch indeed these days. We're leading the way in the 21st century with 4 titles, after all.
-
Does anybody have the actual quote from Cora?

I'd like to talk about Brian Johnson for a second
Bellhorn04 replied to Dojji's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
You do have issues. -
I can't really agree with that either. We are going to be losing a lot of key players within the next couple of years, that's virtually a fact. It remains to be seen how the front office deals with it all.
-
The one I saw has the 5 World Series games, Game 5 of the ALCS and Game 4 of the ALDS.
-
Well, I think you're oversimplifying a tad. Some of the Cliff stuff has clearly been negative about Dombrowski's team-building approach.
-
A $15M projection for JBJ seems about right.
-
I'll take on any Cubs fan in a matchup of Blunder vs. Blunder, Mind-Blower vs. Mind-Blower and Weird s*** vs. Weird s***, and leave them kneeling in the dust.
-
As far as the cliff goes, one thing that's working against us, so to speak, is that we have a team that has a chance to win at least one more championship. If that wasn't the case, we might be looking to do things like trade JBJ for prospects. That's often how farms are rebuilt.
-
Yes.
-
I really hope there was NO ONE who actually believed there was a curse on the team. However, the team did have quite a remarkable history of horrible blunders, mind-blowing defeats and just plain weird s***, and Shaughnessy did a pretty good job capturing and cashing in on all of it.
-
You're right. Winning the World Series this year was monumental. And had we not done so, the offseason talk would not be happy.
-
The Sox won't be doing anything about second base. Their needs are strictly in the pitching department and those will be costly enough.
-
Only about 2.5 months. We'll get through it.
-
Red Sox fans have MUCH to be thankful for!

Bellhorn04 replied to Dojji's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
He's especially fond of saying they're 'loaded for bear'. Maybe he's a big game hunter in his spare time? -
There's another L-R split that's worth looking at. In games where they faced a lefty starter, the Yanks had an .832 OPS. In games where they faced a righty starter, the Yanks had a .761 OPS. What this shows is that they did do much better against lefty starters than righty starters. The difference gets shaved when you include relievers, probably because so many relievers are righties.
-
In the 'can you believe it' department, it's already the 7th year on the ballet for Bonds and Clemens. 6th year for Schilling and Mussina. 10th year for Edgar Martinez.

Bellhorn04 replied to Dojji's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I remember Pena. He had 2 nice starts, got injured and never returned to baseball. It can be a cruel game. -
Of course he doesn't suck. He's got the numbers. The 'problem', as such, is that he's expected to be the ace and to come up big in the biggest games. And if you don't come through people start labeling you as a choker or whatever. Price went through it for years, as we know.

Dojji, you seem to be a sort of champion of the underdog. Whether it's Brian Johnson or Kason Gabbard. It becomes kind of an emotional attachment. I was the same way with Daniel Nava. I always wanted him to do well. moon is more of the cold-blooded fact man. Kidding! -
The award is kind of dumb, but so is your comment. Price didn't pitch bad in 2017, he only pitched 74 innings because he was injured. That happens to pitchers all the time, no matter how much they're paid.
-
They weren't a powerhouse in the seasons they finished last, obviously.
