  1. Before the season started Cora said he was planning to use his bench extensively to keep guys rested. So you're not going to see the best team every game. It's a philosophy of managing the season vs. just managing game to game.
  2. Horseshit. You didn't even look it up. 6 of the IP were in extra innings with the score tied. Here are Kelly's leverage splits for 2017: High .523 OPS Med .502 Low .643 So he was actually excellent in high leverage situations. I'm by no means a big fan of Kelly, but if you're going to slag a guy like that you have to at least use the right numbers.
  3. Why is Boone making him throw so many pitches in the third freaking game of the season???
  4. It's Bullpen Day, baby! (For the Rays.)
  5. Symptomatic of life in the internet age. Reactions and overreactions keep getting faster.
  6. All depends on his 2018 season. Look at Zack Greinke, he opted out of a rich deal and got even richer.
  7. At the end of this season David Price either commits to us for 4 more years or he frees up 124 million over the next 4 years.
  8. You couldn't ask for a much more formidable start.
  9. The real wild card is our owner. JH turns 70 in 2019 and he is worth billions. Maybe he just wants to say screw it to all the tax considerations because he wants to win one more title before he sells the team or dies.
  10. moon is our only serious number-cruncher with the payroll stuff and he tries to factor the arb raises in. We may have no choice but to trade Bradley. Kimbrel is a tough call any way you look at it. He might command 5/90. As good as he is, that's too much.
  11. Sorry if I misconstrued, but it's the internet. Maybe put a smiley or something at the end when you're joking?
  12. Yes, I would think so. Big contract season for Pom.
  13. Proving once again that any MLB team can beat any other MLB team on any random day.
  14. Gotta like him getting tossed out of his very first game, though.
  15. He said we have a flimsy foundation and admitted that having all these good things happen is unrealistic. Not really reading, are you?
  16. Stork also failed to mention that in the 9th inning and extra innings Kelly pitched 14.1 scoreless innings, allowing 2 hits and 6 walks.
  17. Christ almighty Stork, how did we get 7 games worse without losing hardly anybody and adding JDM?
  18. Red Sox fans are nuts without a doubt. When we lost this game it struck me that we lost a game to the Rays in almost identical fashion to start the season in 2003. A nice lead with Pedro cruising and it was blown by our 'closer by committee'. Shaughnessy confirmed this is in his crazy column day. The score was 6-4. Kind of freaky. Check it out! https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/TBA/TBA200303310.shtml
  19. For God's sake Kimmi, how could you not put Stanton on your team?
  20. I like 'Charity Line'. Or as they call the free throw line in basketball, the 'Charity Stripe'.
  21. Barnes has pitched more than 1 inning many, many times, including 7 2 inning stints last year. But I agree with you that we shouldn't be freaking out over one game.
  22. Not at all. And this is the type of bullpen management Phil Mushnick at the NY Post keeps complaining about. Why wouldn't you let Barnes go out for a second inning when he looked so good in his first one. But the modern method is to limit guys to one inning and to base a lot of it on matchups.
  23. It's great in theory, but you need an Andrew Miller to make it work.
  24. Kelly and Barnes were fine last year and for that matter so was the bullpen in general. Time will tell if DD has left us short-handed this season. We certainly need some of the no-name guys that didn't pitch last night to step up.
