    The error call on Leon's popup was also dicey. All the more reason I find no-hitters can be wonky affairs. What can't be argued is that the guy pitched a great game.

    Just good old buzzard luck. The principle of randomness says this will correct itself.

    One of the all-time classic no-hitters was the one tossed by Edwin Jackson for Arizona in 2010. Jackson gave up 8 walks in the game and had to throw 149 pitches. There was plenty of talk that maybe they shouldn't have let him throw so many pitches in spite of having a no-hitter going. Concerns about the number of pitches proved to be justified. In his next 5 starts, Jackson went 1-4 with a 7.24 ERA. Then Arizona traded him to the White Sox at the July 31 deadline.

    No-hitters are one of the most overrated events in sports - with one qualifier. Multiple no-hit games are impressive. Nolan Ryan had 7 of them, Koufax had 4. That's impressive. But one-off no-hitters don't mean much. Philip Humber pitched one of the 23 perfect games in MLB history back in 2012, in his second start of the season. Nice. Unfortunately in his next start he gave up 9 runs in 5 innings. He went on to finish the season with a 6.44 ERA. In 2013 he went 0-8 with a 7.90 ERA and that was it for him. The history of no-hitters by Red Sox pitchers says a lot: Clemens never had one. Pedro never had one. But Hideo Nomo had one. In 1992 Matt Young almost had one, throwing an 8-inning complete game giving up no hits, but 7 walks and a run and losing 1-0. (As hardcore Sox fans know, Derek Lowe, Clay Buchholz and Jon Lester each had one, and Varitek caught them all, plus the one by Nomo.) I'm just having fun with this, OK...

    No-hitters are one of the most overrated events in sports BTW I'll say more about that in the Catch-all thread...

    How is it 'Manaea of all people' LOL He's young and he'd been putting up great numbers coming into this game.
  7. Bellhorn04
    This is the one I've always remembered. What a phenomenal play.

    Stay humble, stay hungry, and stay in the moment. One game at a time, one inning at a time. The mantras of the truly focused team.

    I honestly don't watch many games start to finish anymore. I did watch the first game of the Angels series. But when the Red Sox are playing, I am usually following the game one way or the other.

    Bold prediction. Did you think that before the season?

    On the lighter side of weather... Mark Clear

    As poster Carbo-Diem said, in an expression I really like: Stay humble and stay hungry.

    Good question - I'd narrow it to Bradley and Bogaerts, but then I'd have to know the approx. price tags to decide.
  14. Bellhorn04
    JBJ's price does depend a lot on his offensive numbers. If he gets back to being an .800 OPS guy, he becomes very expensive indeed.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I hear you. The question is how can they pay Betts, Bogaerts, Bradley, Sale, Price, Porcello, and then Benintendi etcetera...
  16. Bellhorn04
    I can't believe that's even a serious suggestion LOL
  17. Bellhorn04
    Damn but the time flies.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Bradley shouldn't be traded during this season regardless IMO. I think his offensive numbers are going to end up just fine too...
  19. Bellhorn04
    Sanchez has been a mess behind the plate the last few games, too.
  20. Bellhorn04
    No mercy is there? Your mojo is intact, Max. Just remember today's thread is 4/21 Sox at Oakland.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Horseshit. Pedroia has been on 2 World Series winners and has done nothing but play hard his whole career.

    Looks like a good thing we didn't trade for Sonny Gray. He's looked awful so far this year.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Believe it or not, Buck Showalter is not all bad. Showalter has gone on record that Mookie is 'the best right fielder I've ever seen in person'.
