No politics talk on baseball threads, please, folks. It's always guaranteed to turn things uncivil in a hurry.
-
That kind of says a lot about the game of baseball, doesn't it? It's a funky game alright.
-
Love it.
-
Price is not FA until 2016, right?
-
It's a very unfortunate and ironic nickname. It must be in his head now. 'Hmmm...I'm called Big Game but I keep sucking in the postseason...hmmm.'
-
Chili Davis has been hired as Red Sox new hitting coach per WEEI.
-
Yes. It continues to tantalize the Red Sox too. I don't think we can afford to trade an experienced starter right now. We're not exactly operating with a surplus. -
a) Bradley would certainly get much more playing time than Herb Washington did. Designated Hitter David Ortiz might get in the Hall of Fame. c) I'm just throwing s*** out there.
-
Bradley would be the perfect late inning defensive specialist. He doesn't enter the game unless you have a late lead. It could work pretty well.
-
Very good...I can't believe I didn't think of it myself.
-
Puig must have some pretty serious attitude issues for Mattingly to bench him for an elimination game, and if the trade rumors are accurate. These things shouldn't be happening with a player that talented.
-
Good stuff, except that Game 6 of the NLCS was the Bartman game. Very important to have the details of such cosmically tragic moments in MLB history correct.
-
I think you're right and I hope we're both right.
-
Beckett pitched well this year till his season was ended by the injury.
-
OK, that's a fair argument. On the other hand, Tito made the worst decision of his career not lifting Beckett when we went ahead 6-5, so you could argue that loss was on Tito. Also, Beckett won Game 6 and then Lester lost Game 7 when he was outpitched by Garza for the second time in the series. I'm just debating here, I don't even care that much about the matter any more. But you can't pin the loss of a 4-3 series on a pitcher who pitched badly in the second game of the series and should have been lifted with the lead anyway.
-
No, I know about the ERA. But how can you blame Beckett for losing that series when we lost both of Lester's games? And how can you blame not having home field advantage when the Rays pounded the piss out of us at Fenway (we won one of the 3 games miraculously). Those are my points.
-
I don't know. In that 2008 ALCS Beckett was 1-0 and Lester was 0-2. We were 2-2 in Tampa and 1-2 in Fenway. The Rays lit us up like fireworks at Fenway, in fact. We played a lot better in their park.
-
Excellent.
-
What he did last night was just as bizarre. Two on and two out in the 6th with Kendrick up. He gets his right-handed reliever to warm up, then visits the mound, and...leaves Escobar in! So he took his ace Shields out in almost the identical situation, but he leaves Escobar in. Kendrick naturally hits a rocket to right, which Aoki catches to save Yost's ass again.

Is it time to trade Bucholz, I think yes
Bellhorn04 replied to joeycaps's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
As far as Buchholz is concerned, I think he's way down on our list of issues. The key is you have to look at him as a wild card who could be great or terrible. You just can't count on him as one of your front 2. -

They got two of the Giants highest-rated prospects, Edwin Escobar and Heath Hembree. It was a very good get...many people were surprised the Giants gave up that much. -
Quite honestly, I only made that pick for fun. I have no real investment in the playoffs this year, without the Red Sox to root for and no need to stick pins in Yankee dolls. The playoffs are off to a great start though. I might end up hoping for the Orioles. Showalter is really impressing me this year. Meanwhile, Ned Yost is a lunatic! Two games in a row he makes wacky decisions on when to take out the starter, and he gets away with them both.
-
Well, just for fun I'll go with the big money and the big stars this year. Angels over Dodgers in WS.
-
The Sox FO will look like clowns if they trade off some top prospects for Hamels while letting Lester walk.
-
I think I have to agree on Betts. You don't trade this guy unless Stanton is coming back. Betts looks tremendous. Trading him for a pitcher would be PR suicide, especially after the dismal season just concluded.
