    I like great defensive plays too, but here's a reality check: JBJ as of now is a minus player. His bad offense is outweighing his good defense. One 'advantage' of the offensive side, you might say, is that you are guaranteed to get multiple opportunities to contribute every single game you start. On the defensive side, you are not guaranteed anything as far as non-routine plays in which you have a chance to really affect the outcome.

    What would be the point? Leon knows the pitching staff and he's been Porcello's exclusive catcher and Porcello has been our best pitcher.
  3. Bellhorn04
    He pitched great his first 2 games. Then he got the tingles.

    On the bright side, in the month of May Vazquez is hitting .300 and averaging 1 RBI per game.
  5. Bellhorn04
    I think the idea is using him as a late inning defensive replacement if you have a lead...but I'm pretty sure you already knew that.
  6. Bellhorn04
    They invested $217 million in the guy, and this is his third season with the team...you'd think they would be capable of determining once and for all if his arm is structurally sound or not. But doubt lingers.

    I can't remember if it was in Ball Four or the sequel, Bouton was talking about Seattle Pilots manager Joe Schultz. He said Schultz's two favorite words when something went wrong were 'f***shit' and 'Shitf***'.

    We may have overpaid in prospects, but not in dollars. His salary has been reasonable. Basically about the same as we were paying Papelbon at the end of his tenure here. A much lower AAV than Chapman and Davis.

    A 3-run jack would be nice.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Well, as we know, the team had trade chips and Dombrowski had no qualms about using them. Also, there was certainly reason to believe Porcello would be better than he was in 2015. Not as good as he was, but better.

    Looks like the Yanks are indeed going to shut out the Stros 3 games in a row.
  12. Bellhorn04
    And why would you assume Swihart would have been acceptable to San Diego in place of Margot?
  13. Bellhorn04
    There's always the possibility Castillo could be needed in an emergency.
  14. Bellhorn04
    To the best of my recollection, as much whining and bellyaching as we have on the forum, no one has said anything bad about Mookie for not signing an extension yet.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I'm pretty sure Henry and Dombrowski are aware of all the issues and have a plan. It would appear they're going to let the option vest if Hanley stays healthy. Also, if he can post a WAR of 2.5 or 3 that has some dollar value does it not?
  16. Bellhorn04
    Loss on April 24. Blown save leading to loss on May 1. But a very unfair statement, needless to say.
  17. Bellhorn04
    The option vesting would have an impact for 2019, but it really shouldn't be a severe impact. Especially if he keeps hitting like he has been.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Yep, he probably has nightmares about Green Monsters.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Link, please.
  20. Bellhorn04
    They haven't won the series against the Stros yet. But if they blank them again today that'd be pretty impressive.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Other: give him a light whack upside the head and tell him to get better fast.
  22. Bellhorn04
    It remains to be seen by exactly how much we overpaid for Kimbrel. I think if anything we overpaid just a little, and that's not a big deal when you're the Red Sox.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Mookie Gotta Stay, that's for freakin' sure.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Mookie's numbers obviously can't stay at this astronomical level, but here is how they stand today: 365/451/823 = 1274 OPS Holy crap.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I'm not exactly scared of the Yankees. There's not much emotion involved. But yes, I'm concerned that they may end up ahead of us at the end of the year. The way it looks right now we might win 98 games and it might not be enough. Under the previous Wild Card system that wasn't such a big deal, but it is now.
