  1. Sure, you're out 6.5 mill * 4. I think you have to be willing to take on a wee bit of risk to acquire any pitcher that's worth acquiring...
  2. But a 333 OBP, which is 13 points higher than MLB average.
  3. Or "kicking the problem down the road", as another saying goes.
  4. And I have to give the Sox credit, they're not jerking Casas around at all. They're showing a lot of patience. Cora shot down the idea of Dalbec being promoted, maybe for that very reason.
  5. I'd like to see a comparison between this year's class and last year's. And if this year's really is much better, will prices be even more exorbitant?
  6. And Bloom keeps signing starters on one-year deals as bridges to...what, exactly?
  7. I actually like the deal myself, I think it spreads the risk fairly between the player and the team. If Wacha has a great season he'll cash in. If he has a lousy season he'll have to settle for a lot less.
  8. This injury to Judge pisses me off. It's incumbent on MLB to make their playing facilities safe for players, but it's like they don't give a rat's ass. The guy makes a great catch but pays for it by smashing his foot into concrete and crashing through a fence.
  9. False, wrong and non-factual.
  10. Ref Man has an OBP of .425.
  11. My man Refsnyder with another big hit off a RH pitcher.
  12. I agree with Dipre about Casas. Let him play every day.
  13. We keep talking about Wacha only getting 4 years and 26 mill, but if he has a good year, he will get more, and could become a free agent again.
  14. I might have a one-word answer for this now: "projections." Our pre-season projections were not good. I think most of them had us at around .500 or a little over. Baseball analysts didn't think we were a good team, so that tends to point the blame more toward Bloom than Cora.
  15. There doesn't seem to be much they can do about the attendance.
  16. And yet the salaries keep going up.
  17. Like you said, he has a big ego. I think having a winning team is good for the ego. And it can also be good for the bottom line. I think he wants it all. Just my take.
  18. Lots of owners show that they're emotionally invested in their teams. How much Henry is, I can't say. But I think he much prefers posing with the trophy to getting booed at meet-and-greets. I think he's human.
  19. What the heck are you talking about, seriously? We're complaining about Bloom because we think he should have done a better job putting this team together. If you disagree, fine.
  20. There's just nothing to be cheerful about right now. It's June 6, we're 12 games behind the division leader and 5.5 games behind the last Wild Card spot. And the only possible improvements to look forward to are the returns of Duvall and Story.
  21. Needed another Irishman to go drinking with McGuire, I guess.
  22. Extra points for "chaps".
  23. And now that Theo has done his thing revamping the rules of the game, he needs a fresh challenge!
  24. This is a non-starter. Bloom is obviously expected to do more than "staff" the team.
  25. If Henry only cared about keeping the payroll down, I doubt he would have authorized a $313.5 million extension for Devers.
