  1. What might be entertaining is a bench-clearing brawl in the funny unis.
  2. I just found out the Rays pitching coach is Kyle Snyder, who Sox fans may remember from his playing days, though not necessarily in a good way. Snyder pitched for the Sox from 2006 to 2008 as a starter and reliever, compiling a line of 6-8 with a 5.20 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP. His career mark was 8-17 with a 5.57 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP. Showing once again, I guess, that you don't have to be good to coach good.
  3. The Theory of Relativity isn't the easy thing to grasp either, but you don't hear people calling Einstein a quack.
  4. The idea of Pedey ever contributing again is probably optimistic, but I'm down with it. At least he's feeling good.
  5. We've got rays to fry, and then marlins to fry. But seriously, good post Jackson.
  6. Eovaldi vs. Snell Well folks, we are staring at a virtual perfect storm of ugliness today. The Red Sox, the highest-scoring team in baseball, have scored a pitiful total of 25 runs in 9 games at the Dump this year - an average of 2.78 per game. To make matters worse, Blake Snell is the Rays' best starter (not that they have very many) and has owned us to the tune of 2 runs allowed in 19 innings for a 0.95 ERA. To add to the ugly factor just a bit, Blake Snell is...well, he's not exactly Tom Cruise, let's put it that way. We may really need some sort of reverse lock action today, especially with the Evil Ones expected to complete their 4-game sweep of the incredibly feeble Birds.
  7. But it's supposed to promote the game as something that's fun for the whole family!
  8. Which suggests that home UZR vs. road UZR might be interesting.
  9. Another ugly trend is the team's runs scored in games in the TropDump this year: 4 1 3 2 4 4 3 3 Total 24 in 8 games - 3.0 per game
  10. Plus the incidents that seemed so poorly handled and hung over the team like a black cloud.
  11. I agree with a lot of what you're saying. But I also think that the guys who reach MLB are exposed to new types of pressure that just don't exist at the lower levels. I believe that choking at the MLB level is very plausible. Those large egos can take some pretty heavy blows when a player fails to perform over a period of time or in a big moment. In the worst case scenario they can end up in a Rogues Gallery for all time with the likes of Bill Buckner and Calvin Schiraldi and Donnie Moore (citing 3 examples from just 1 postseason).
  12. The offense scored 24 runs in 4 games against the Wahoos - 17 in the last 2 games. And last night they had 13 hits and 3 walks, just didn't cash in enough. The offense is still in good shape. And you know Mookie is going to bust out again and somebody gotta pay.
  13. The Rays starter wasn't a starter.
  14. Dewey, a few pages ago you said you were exhausted with this topic. Now that was pretty funny.
  15. We scored 3 runs and our starter was terrible. Even if Cora had been Captain Hook with Velazquez I don't see how we win this game. Nope, can't see a shred of logic in your statement.
  16. Easy enough to figure out.
  17. DRob gives up the 2-run bomb.
  18. Look, Sale, E-Rod and Wright are all on the DL. Which means Johnson and Velazquez are in the rotation. Which means Pomeranz is the only long reliever. Calm down before you blow a gasket. The team is 50 games over .500.
  19. He looks great for a guy with a 7 ERA.
  20. I guess Velazquez won't be getting any more votes on the unsung heroes thread...
  21. I would definitely go with the rest explanation. I believe Cora said something early in the year about the artificial turf factor too.
  22. Are you truly bothered that Mookie isn't in right?
  23. 'Inexact science' seems to me a more appropriate description than 'abstract concept'.
  24. Does that really ever happen on this forum? I think most people here are too feisty to back down from a debate so easily!
