  1. f***ing right Peavy. He is showing up big tonight.
  2. There can't be many right-handed hitters in history who have been better than Pedroia at roping singles to right field.
  3. Yeah, I also thought that was the downside of him living to 119.
  4. Nice piece of hitting by Bogaerts too.
  5. I just read about a South American goatherder who's 119. So he really was middle-aged when he was our age.
  6. Agree, and I think the whole 'more strategy in the NL' thing is way overplayed.
  7. And there it is, folks: the Big Dilemma, the Big Decision that makes National League baseball a veritable chessgame: do I pinch-hit for the pitcher now, or do I not do that?
  8. No...Schilling was the poster boy for giving up those one-run dingers jung was talking about.
  9. In 2001 the aforementioned Schilling gave up 37 dingers and had an 8.8 WAR.
  10. Runs have been scarce in this series though. Sometimes managers will play smallball earlier if they expect a low-scoring game.
  11. As it turned out it didn't affect the scoring in the inning.
  12. Cubs and Padres scoreless in the 13th inning...LMAO...what a snoozefest that must be...only a true baseball fan would still be in the stands.
  13. Mmm...I see a tall stack of fluffy blueberry pancakes with fresh berries in them, and a side order of crisp bacon.
  14. a) Agree 100% with the first statement. If Salty has improved and is working hard with the pitchers on their game plans etc., I have no idea why he couldn't be part of the pitching improvement too. Intangibles are intangibles. The only thing we know is the numbers. The rest is speculation.
  15. Then these numbers may surprise you: Lester with Salty (19 starts) ERA 3.68 OPS .679 K/BB 3.5 Lester with Ross (8 starts) ERA 4.68 OPS .815 K/BB 1.48 Salty will never be the greatest defensive catcher but I think he has improved to the point where he's at least average. He has to be given some of the credit for the starting rotation's major improvement this year.
  16. According to Gameday, Lester's fastball was hitting 95 yesterday. Is it possible his fastball has returned to where it was?
  17. He's rested too. He had probably gotten a bit arm-weary from all those mighty swishes.
  18. AL pitchers should be instructed to bunt or just stand there. It's a ridiculous situation - they only come to bat two games a year on average.
  19. Just start all the threads from now on.
