  1. Two? Now that's just greedy LOL
  2. He is when he's at the top of his game like he was in 2017. This year he hasn't been quite that good. Kelly actually looks better right now.
  3. I don't know whether to believe that story or not. I think maybe they wanted to dress it up for the players union to avoid problems. But who knows?
  4. It had all the makings of quickly becoming an awkward situation for Hanley, Cora and the whole team. The more I think about it, the more I think this was clearly the right move.
  5. The way Hanley was going in May, just about anything would be better.
  6. mal just doesn't want to believe it.
  7. Pretty few and far between for 88 mill.
  8. Good observation. And Bill Lee in one of his books talks about the narcotic cycle of alcohol and amphetamines. Players going out and getting drunk till all hours, waking up with hangovers, popping bennies to get their energy level back up. Lather, rinse, repeat.
  9. Excellent point there moon I think.
  10. Can't have All-Stars at every position, man. It gets a tad expensive, for one thing.
  11. I'll always think of Hanley as a very nice fellow who robbed us blind.
  12. Thanks, I got a chuckle out of this.
  13. So this Newcomb kid is listed at 6'5", 255 lb, and he's 5-1 with a 2.39 ERA. I would like to see Mookie and JD both take him deep in the first as a welcome to Fenway.
  14. Holy crap, 4 of our next 5 games start at 1 PM.
  15. You're right. That 5 million doesn't count in the all-important luxury tax calculations though. For tax purposes Pablo is off the books after 2019.
  16. More like now we have Larry the Clown posting on Talksox.
  17. It's kind of sad to think that the grand old game has a flaw that only be corrected by twenty-first century technology.
  18. Possibly because in theory balls and strikes aren't supposed to be subjective? I don't know. You have to admit that some of the baseball metrics have a lot of little nuances and issues. It doesn't surprise me that people get befuddled by some of it and want to stick with what's more familiar and supposedly simpler.
  19. Especially since we attributed his lousy 2015 and 2017 numbers to injury, and he was supposedly injury-free this season.
  20. Hanley really has been an awful tease throughout his time here though. When his 2018 OPS dipped below his already-bad 2017 OPS, that kind of did it for me.
  21. This will be his 11th start batting in the 3 hole, actually.
  22. I'm not sure I see the grounds for Ben being classed as sentimental. He presided over cutting loose World Series heroes in Lester and Lackey.
  23. Sure we have a good record but... We need one because Betts and JD are going to cool off and can't carry us the whole season! We need one to be the best we can be! We need one to beat the Yankees for the division! We need one to win the World Series! (Some might say those things. Not me.)
