  1. There seems to be a psychological difference, no question. But as with most things in baseball it's not a hard and fast rule. The game before Kimbrel pitched 2 scoreless innings in a tie game.
  2. Yes, the grossology on this site is over the top at times.
  3. My favorite players are still Papi and Pedey - something about loyalty to the oldtimers. But Mookie is really something else. I remember back in 2014 when he was making his way up through the minors and we kept hearing about his amazing exploits. Now he's doing them in the big leagues. The sky is the limit.
  4. Mookie Betts, what can you even say about this guy?
  5. Sandy Leon: 26 plate appearances 12 hits 4 walks
  6. Porcello being our #3 starter isn't really the problem.
  7. You noticed that S5Dewey's sig line says 'suspended' in it, right?
  8. I'm of the belief that PED transgressions are not all created equal and it's reasonable to regard some as worse than others.
  9. The third baseman at the start of the 2013 postseason was Middlebrooks. They switched to Bogaerts because they didn't like what they were seeing from WMB. Sure there was risk involved, but they thought it was a necessary risk.
  10. Hmmm...personally I would say a lot of ballgames are a wee bit lacking in rhythm anyway...like yesterday's 4 hour 25 minute beauty.
  11. B-R tells me Vazquez had 3 successful sac bunts in 2014, so he has at least demonstrated some capacity to get it done. I'm not a big fan of bunting either, believe me. But in that particular situation it may have been the right call. I'd like to let Kimmi make the final ruling on this one...because she knows all the research stuff that's been done on bunting.
  12. Bradley bunting there was unfathomable.
  13. It'll be a tandem of Brock and Bryce.
  14. No, it really isn't. You're biased because of your general aversion to bunting.
  15. And maybe hit into an inning-ending double play with Betts up next.
  16. Fair enough. But with Trout under control through 2020, they shouldn't be in any hurry to trade him unless they get one of those 'blow you away' offers. With the Sox, such an offer has to start with Bogey or Betts, not just a bunch of unproven prospects.
  17. Angels are not a poor team and it doesn't take that long to put together a team that can at least contend for a Wild Card. Trout is a pipe dream.
  18. Horrible series with some small relief at the end.
  19. This is the 8th game in a row the opponent has scored first. In 6 of them they scored in the first inning.
  20. No doubt there are deficiencies in the camera installations. But the current replay system, including the 'Replay Operations Center' must cost a few dollars, don't you think?
  21. I think the only complete list of 103 that came out is widely considered to be bogus.
  22. And they'll inevitably reach a point where they simply can't get better and they're probably pretty close to it already. With an automated zone none of those umps who are a little weak on balls/strikes would lose their jobs.
  23. Seriously Babe, you've used that line too many times now...change it up with the quips a little at least.
  24. He might be done, but it's a little early to say. He pitched extremely well last year. But his time in Beantown is running out. He might do better for some small-market NL team with low expectations...
