Yankee Stadium 3 is under 325 feet down both lines, no?
-
In baseball you not only have different park dimensions, but the flight of the ball is highly subject to different atmospheric conditions and even the structure of the park, which is supposedly why Ted Williams could hit one 502 feet to right but nobody can do it any more.
-
For me, Andrew Bailey and the Sox remarkable pitching numbers thus far brings to mind a Bugs Bunny reference that only notin might get: "I don't know how ya's done it, but I know ya's done it."
-
Yeah, it's just one of the things that sets it apart from the other major team sports and keeps it delightfully weird.
-
Reading a lot of the posts here the last couple of days makes me think I'm closer to an old school guy myself. All I really care about anymore is the Sox W-L record. I do think we have some smart guys running the team now (Breslow/Bailey/Cora) and I'm happy to let them figure everything out.
-
You will go to your grave insisting Bernardino was a prospect when we got him.
-
I see. I still think it would have been better to send a team other than the sad sack Rockies.
-
No idea what that means.
-
I thought I was a baseball nut until I ran into you guys.
-
So South Korea gets a couple games between the Dodgers and Padres. Pretty good matchup. Mexico gets two games between the Astros and the...Rockies? What kind of nasty-ass trick is that to play on our neighbors to the south?
-
Somebody has to say it: Slaten seems to have a good chance of supplanting Martin as the 8th inning guy.
-
Probably won't happen, but I like the thinking.
-
Not the most authoritative of hits, mind you. Still, they did require contacting the baseball.
-
Yeah, now you and your kind can move onto championing the next DFA candidate. -
I wouldn't say it's meaningless, but you can definitely make a case that its importance is way overstated, especially with the playoff crapshoot we now have. Last year Arizona with a -15 differential took out the Dodgers and their +207 differential in 3 straight.
-
Now there's a point I think we're all in agreement on.
-
Yes, that's part of it. Plus you could say the Sox have shown with recent hirings (the pitching brain trust) that they are buying into the idea that spending chunks of money on guys who don't play can be a solid investment.
-
I actually think the Sox are going to pay the man, though I'm not counting on it. It seems clear enough that Henry and Werner must like him to hire him back after the suspension and to keep him on after two 78-84 seasons. As much as I've been ragging on ownership they do show redeeming qualities at times.
-
Yeah, if people don't think AC is a superior manager after watching him navigate the chaos he's been handed this year I don't know what to tell them.
-
Knew this year was going to be weird, but it's exceeding expectations.
-
Sox acquire Garrett Cooper. Seems like excellent news.
-
Excellent starting point, thanks.
-
I'll start an Out of Town Scoreboard thread soon to track how all these guys are going.
-
They wouldn't beat the Cubs' guarantee of $53 million. Very indicative of their disciplined approach the last few years.
-
Yeah, you wonder if he did or didn't do something that caused him to fall out of favor. It makes the team look pretty dysfunctional when you have Pablo Reyes being treated like a key to the offense while Yoshida is the $18 million Designated Sitter. The team always looks more dysfunctional after back to back crappy losses, mind you.
