  1. I think it would have been extremely hard to trade Hanley regardless. An aging DH with erratic numbers and recurring injury issues and that stupid vesting option.
  2. That begs the question of how did so many other offenses improve while ours didn't. Mostly because of the home run ball, methinks.
  3. Some chicks actually HATE the long ball.
  4. Well, it made sense from the perspective of trying to win both the games.
  5. It looks like we're going to be playing Houston - a lot - 4 games to end the season and then the ALDS.
  6. I deleted that post because I couldn't get JD to come out in all caps LOL
  7. Either way, it seems we're going to have to pay him for one year in which he stinks!
  8. Do you think? Sale Price-assuming health obviously Pomeranz Porcello E-Rod Who do you replace with the new starter?
  9. He was out of action for almost 2 months. He threw 21 pitches Sept 17 and 40 last night. Probably not enough time to ramp up to much more than 50 pitches. Farrell sounds pretty excited about having him available to pitch multiple innings out of the pen.
  10. Keeping Price back another game worked out pretty good too.
  11. I don't like Youk's answer.
  12. Hanley's OPS+ this year is 94. If he's this bad next year we should be able to do what we want without the union objecting.
  13. There's something seriously wrong with Tanaka. Take a look at the pitch Russell Martin homered on. You could see from the moment it left Tanaka's hand that it was on a flat trajectory headed for the middle of the plate like he was just laying it in there.
  14. Nothing wrong with that list.
  15. Attaboy Derek!
  16. Maybe all Price had really was a triceps strain... heh heh...
  17. I wanted Sale to start that game against the Birds because I felt it significantly enhanced our chances to win the game. If we lost the game the Yanks would be only 2 back with 10 to go. I did not want them to have any more chance than they had already did. Don't f*** around. It's pretty simple...it's not North Korean rocket science.
  18. Throw in Holt and it might work.
  19. Personally, I see no reason why a division winner deserves a better break than a wild card team with a better record than the division winner. Divisions are just arbitrary groupings designed to promote artificial rivalries and reduce travel costs. Like everything else Bud Selig did, it's all about the dollars. Bud was good at that part of his job, I have to admit.
  20. There's not much choice but to keep him and make sure the option doesn't vest.
  21. I hate polls like this. I voted win it all because why not.
  22. Good, we can shelve this discussion for the next decade.
  23. Now that you mention it, the Sox are 22-9 in Sale starts (71%) and 67-55 in non-Sale starts (55%).
  24. This makes perfect sense, really. A certain amount of stress is a good thing. You often hear about athletes having nerves or 'butterflies' before competition as a natural consequence of their systems getting ready to perform.
  25. I agree with mvp on this one. The extra wild card opens it up for more teams with mediocre regular seasons. 96 wins is much harder to achieve than 85. You're right that in a 5 game series the 85 can take down the 96, but that doesn't mean they should get the chance.
