    Go Rangers.

    JBJ with a routine catch to end it!
  3. Bellhorn04
    Reed brought the scoop.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Nice night for Raffy.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Rough one for Tanaka tonight.

    Talksox members are working on it. Nothing final yet.

    We'll never know for sure unless one of the principals airs the laundry. I think Larry was probably heavily involved, but it's just a guess.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Yes.

    Remy and Eck in the booth together are gold. Remy with some great stuff about trying to hit against lefties.
  10. Bellhorn04
    It's a trio tonight.

    You actually could reconstruct a log of the most glaring mental mistakes this year by going through the game threads. It would be an arduous task, but it could be done. Because I know there were always plenty of posts about the obvious ones.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Unfortunately, Hanley is pretty much an immovable object contract-wise, especially with that stupid vesting option.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Maybe he choked - does that count as a mental mistake?
  14. Bellhorn04
    Saying our accumulated mental mistakes have probably cost us a couple of games is reasonable. Your claims of 5 or more lost games, without any indication of how you could possibly determine this, have been outlandish. They're reminiscent of the thread on BDC in 2007 about how Tito's in-game mistakes had cost us '14 games and counting'.

    Hamburger Hounds Mojo!
  16. Bellhorn04
    Yes, exactly. Even though Yaz had a home run and a single, 2 runs and 2 RBI prior to that.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Nobody ever knows 'what would have happened if...'. I believe that the principle used in calculations like WAR is to give all plays equal weight regardless of the situation. Which makes sense. A run in the second inning counts just the same as a run in the ninth inning.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Any suggestion that mental mistakes could have cost 6 or more games is outlandish. At least Max tried to use actual game information to substantiate his claim.
  19. Bellhorn04
    And yet you're telling Max not to make any claim that can't be proven! You're contradicting the heck out of yourself, and it really diminishes your credibility. Suggesting these mistakes have cost us 6 or 7 games is like saying they are the equivalent of having a replacement level pitcher this year instead of Sale.

    It's the weird rich dude with the pasty face that calls the shots on a lot of this. He's the one who ultimately tells DD how much DD has to spend.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I'm as baffled as anyone about the mental blunders. I think maybe you have to look at them on a player-by-player basis. I have seen Bogaerts make a couple that suggested his mind was elsewhere at the time. Those are the ones where the player really has to be straightened out by the manager. JBJ has made some of the blunders. But when you look at how this guy plays in the outfield it's hard to believe that he suffers from a lack of focus.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Actually moon, having followed this whole discussion with a lot of interest, I think one of your statements that got Max worked up, and bothered me as well, was that we would have a 10 or 15 game lead without all the mental mistakes - suggesting they had cost us 5 to 10 games.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Personally I have seen some good spirit and desire with this team. After all, they just won a 19 inning game that they trailed 2-0 going to the 9th. They seem to me to be having fun, what with the outfield dance and the little ritual they have after a home run with Mookie taking the guy's helmet off. They now have 10 walkoff wins, which I assume is pretty close to the most. None of that stuff even matters that much to me, all I really care about is the W-L record.
  24. Bellhorn04
    What's been a season long pattern?
  25. Bellhorn04
    Hmmm...we're 4 games ahead, so if the Yankees pick up 5 games on us the rest of the way...no, I don't think that would be good.
