There I disagree. You have a much better chance of having a great season if you get off to a great start. Roger Maris couldn't have hit 61 homers if he only had 20 at the All-Star break.
-
I don't expect the Cubs to win 112 games but I think they'll win 100 without too much difficulty. They have been outstanding in all phases of the game. Their record isn't smoke and mirrors.
-
My interpretation of what you're saying is that pace means nothing when it's obviously going to be a very difficult pace to maintain.
-
Having given it some thought I have to admit that my PED comments about Nomar were only fueled by my grudge against him for his malcontent act in 2004. To me he'll always be the guy who tried to sabotage our dream season, and the guy we had to get rid of to make it happen.
-
It just demonstrates what a horrific pitching situation the Cherington-Lucchino brain trust left us with.
-
I think it was more like until his failed contract negotiations and the Sox almost trading him that offseason. He took it very badly. Manny moved on from almost being traded and had another excellent season.
-
First Talksox thread ever with a lot of wasted pages!
-
LOL, probably not. But Miley hasn't been any gem. And durability was about his only long suit.
-
Yes, there were doubts about how he got hurt in 2004 and suspicions he was lying about it. He acted like a total a-hole that year. What happened to him served him right IMO.
-
Nomar has a double cloud over him. One is PED's, which has a lot to do with the SI cover. The other is that he parted from the team on bad terms in a historical year for the team.
-
I'm not turning up my nose, but there are some major issues with each of them. Kennedy - why would a contending team like the Royals make him available? Santana - probably available, but he has horrible numbers - less than 5.5 IP per start, 5 ER given up in each of his last 3 starts - and he's owed about $35 million.
-
Oddly enough, in these NBA playoffs the games have usually been decided well before the last 2 minutes and if you tuned in then you'd see nothing but garbage time.
-
Any names in mind?
-
The thing about a pitcher like Wilson with a 4 ERA is that if your luck is bad you're going to catch him on one of those nights where he's got his best stuff. Mike Mussina said that over the course of a season with 32 starts he would have 8 starts where everything was working, 16 where something was working and 8 where nothing was working.
-
No question.
-
I think they were quite happy with the Swihart-Young tandem until Swihart's unfortunate injury.
-
The 'furor' over missed calls is nothing new. Do the names Larry Barnett and Don Denkinger ring a bell? Barnett is the guy who made the infamous no-call on Cincy's Ed Armbrister in the 1975 Series. Denkinger may have cost St. Louis the 1985 Series.
-
Nomar is dead to me.
-
Closers have to stay on the field too. Don't underestimate the ability of these guys to get injured no matter whether they're starting, closing or sleeping.

Wins rarely bug me. Against Baltimore I'll take them any which way. -

393 feet officially. Not a real moon shot. His previous home run on May 10 went 460 feet. -
BTW Max, I did see the Sox benefit from a few generous balls & strikes calls last night. GameDay shows that Pedroia should have struck out in the 6th instead of walking. Didn't affect the outcome but it could have.
-
The fact is that, whether we like it or not, technology has become an integral part of the game in every aspect (did you see Papi and Chili studying the Baltimore reliever on the Ipad last night?). There is no good reason for the officials not being as up to date technologically as the players and managers are.
-
You're right. In 2015 almost exactly half of the calls that were reviewed were overturned. Personally I don't mind the interruptions for the sake of fixing that many calls. To each their own.
-
So you don't like the fact that incorrect calls are being rectified.
