  1. 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.
  2. Sorry if I misconstrued, but it's the internet. Maybe put a smiley or something at the end when you're joking?
  3. Yes, I would think so. Big contract season for Pom.
  4. Proving once again that any MLB team can beat any other MLB team on any random day.
  5. Gotta like him getting tossed out of his very first game, though.
  6. He said we have a flimsy foundation and admitted that having all these good things happen is unrealistic. Not really reading, are you?
  7. 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.
  8. Christ almighty Stork, how did we get 7 games worse without losing hardly anybody and adding JDM?
  9. 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
  10. For God's sake Kimmi, how could you not put Stanton on your team?
  11. I like 'Charity Line'. Or as they call the free throw line in basketball, the 'Charity Stripe'.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. It's great in theory, but you need an Andrew Miller to make it work.
  15. 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.
  16. Great having real baseball to talk about again, huh?
  17. Beautiful swing by Devers.
  18. Yeah, now the real bitching can begin!
  19. Yeah, that says a lot, doesn't it.
  20. Yes, Clay Buchholz.
  21. It was DD who traded for Smith of course. With all due respect to these fine fellows, RDL, Webster & Miley were all pretty much stiffs.
  22. I didn't say terrible shape. I said no pitching and a fair amount of dead money. Somebody had to acquire pitchers. Maybe if Ben was there he would have done the same things. But who knows? Ben made some odd and risky acquisitions. Even a signing like Victorino. Since we won it all in 2013 and he was a major contributor, it goes down as a good move, absolutely. If we hadn't won in 2013, maybe that move is viewed as a bad one. Same with re-signing Napoli. And then acquiring Miley and Masterson in 2015 to fill out a scary fivesome with Buch, Porcello and Joe Kelly. Dombrowski is much more conservative with his acquisitions. That's probably why Henry went with him. He was a little tired of the risky acquisitions turning into dead money.
