  1. Agreed. I think Farrell is fine in that area.
  2. Care to pass on any specific names and comments?
  3. Seems like an awful lot of assumptions to me, notin.
  4. The Pomeranz trade looks like a serious blunder, without a doubt.
  5. You have to be able to deal with a certain amount of pressure to make it to the big leagues. But I don't think that necessarily means you'll be able to deal with the kinds of pressure that are created by crucial games with all the attendant heat from fans and media, or with the kind of negativity and abuse that a player is subjected to if they fail in a big situation or two.
  6. Don't you think there are different levels of pressure, though? I certainly do.
  7. If Hernandez continues to impress, even if he gets sent down for a little while, he will get his chance.
  8. This is an absolutely crucial point.
  9. According to Dan Shaughnessy, Joe Kerrigan tried this when he managed the Red Sox for the last 43 games of the 2001 season. Shaughnessy referred to Kerrigan as 'The Nutty Professor'.
  10. Speier sends out an e-mail newsletter called 108 Stitches.
  11. I found it and Speier was actually referencing this article from a couple of years ago. http://click.email.bostonglobe.com/?qs=fe477c9f7761eb2afb383622fd6a7b666621f9237403e38883ed1fb3f537ba791ea8f71f1c61930a7ef7c3a4d648f14b741af67f7cfaa058
  12. Do they believe choking is a real thing?
  13. Interesting that all the studies are about clutch hitting and there's nothing about clutch pitching.
  14. Not exactly. With some postseason numbers you can find very large differences (e.g. Schilling vs. Price) - it's the sample sizes that are what's small, arguably.
  15. Crickets, Kimmi, crickets.
  16. There was also a piece by Alex Speier a little while ago about K/BB being the one truly important stat in ST games.
  17. Excellent news about ERod and Wright especially.
  18. 59% of us were right. http://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/18040-Who-is-our-opening-day-starter
  19. Cuts down on travel time and costs.
  20. Who knows what will happen over a long season though.
  21. Kimmi do you by chance have a link to the latest research study on this topic or can you tell me who did it?
  22. The fact that Castillo and Craig are off the 40 man roster doesn't mean they have no impact on the payroll. I'm sure Henry takes them into account when he calculates the team's profit. Also, if they do by chance play well and you want to use them, you have to put them back on the 40 man and incur the tax.
  23. What about a guy like Matt Cain? I thought he had the kind of easy-looking delivery that would last a long time.
