  1. Yes, Maine is quite a place. The fact it's the place Stephen King was born and has lived most of his life is totally appropriate.
  2. We may never get the full story. Personally I suspect that if MLB thought the slide was A-OK and that the Red Sox therefore overreacted, they would have gone a little lighter on Austin. But maybe I'm a touch cynical.
  3. There you go - Austin was found to be the bigger culprit.
  4. It appears the two players were judged to be about equally wrong, doesn't it?
  5. Such retaliation has been part of the game forever, as you know. The general consensus among players who have spoken on the subject seems to be that if you hit the guy in the back it's 'the right way'. Even Kimmi advocates this, I think.
  6. Can expect them to do it cleanly and legally, is what I'm sure you're trying to say.
  7. You are a rare breed, man, a Yankee fan with a sense of humor.
  8. Or, maybe JBJ will get his numbers in order and this thread will go back into mothballs. I mean, he raised his average 73 freakin' points last night, from 133 to 206. A couple more good games is all it would take. Because it's early, after all.
  9. I thought you cared a lot about L/R splits. What exactly is the reasoning behind the order you listed the 4 options in, then, and why you said Cora's choice of Leon was 'sad'?
  10. Situation like what?
  11. Peter Abraham's take on this year's incident vs. the Machado incident. Abraham clearly blames last year's bungling of the retribution on Farrell and thinks Pedroia's reaction was misunderstood. https://t.co/jDCRmmX54O
  12. And yet Leon has a higher OPS vs. LHP than all 3. So what's the rationale - the other 3 are better looking?
  13. Strange that you would say that, especially since you're always looking at L/R splits and with all your comments about how much Beni has struggled against lefties. Career OPS vs. LHP: Leon 733 Swihart 659 Beni 566
  14. I had to go with one extreme or the other. He says he's fine so I said he'd make his next start. But God knows what's really going on inside his arm.
  15. Johnson pitched 2 innings the first game. Kind of rules him out for pitching 4 or 5 the next night unless you're trying to end his season.
  16. Huh? Johnson pitched 1.2 last night and 2 the night before. They're probably holding Velazquez back in case they need him to start a game.
  17. There are actually some hopeful things about JBJ's numbers. One is that he's only struck out 4 times in 8 games. Another is that he has a crazy-low BABip of .154.
  18. Well, not exactly, but you've been saying Beni has to improve against lefties or you would platoon him...
  19. The guy is definitely very special. Hope we don't let him get away from us.
  20. Actually the median fielder would be 15 out of 29 but might be higher or lower than average.
  21. And not even God can bowl a 300 game every time.
  22. Well, as we now know, their plan was to have HanRam play and hopefully rake and not 'stop the vest'. So obviously this idea and signing Moose was never even a remote possibility. The realistic alternatives to Moreland were LoMo and Duda.
  23. I think it's pretty unlikely Moose would have signed with us to be a backup player.
  24. I like this - it's much more colorful and entertaining than 'the cliff'.
