    I imagine it has been giving Hal and Brian a headache or two.
  2. Bellhorn04
    And that the Yankees made their offer public was kind of interesting.
  3. Bellhorn04
    I've been meaning to reply to this post. This does seem like something to watch for.

    It's not a knock on Judge, every team would want to have him if they could truly afford it. We have too many other "fish to fry".
  5. Bellhorn04
    I'm not trying to be a jerk either, but we could sign Judge to a 300 million contract, and he could get injured (he's been injured plenty in the past), and the contract could be another albatross. As for Kike, I'm not really sure he should have repeated that. Furthermore, I think that coming off an injury-plagued season with bad offensive numbers, $10 million alone should have been enough to convince him to stay. Having gotten that snark out of my system, all I can say about Bloom and 2023 is that my expectations are very high too. The key to improvement will be mostly pitching.

    They're your updates now, man.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Well, you are keeping track of how many games under .500 we are, so I assume that means something to you in itself.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Which managers are special though, 700? Based on your previous comments, you pretty much think all managers are bozos.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Lots of made up stuff here. moon is the only one who said Cora was the greatest manager in Sox history. And Bloom has been getting plenty of blame for this year, even from guys like moon, who has never let up about the Bradley trade. You're way too selective with what you read and remember.

    Some say that in baseball the defense is the offense, because they're the ones who initiate the play, who know what the pitch will be etc. (Frankly I'm just arguing for the sake of it.)
  11. Bellhorn04
    If Cora was being brutally honest he would have said "Look, we're not making the playoffs, and we're trying to find out if this guy is worth keeping for next year."
  12. Bellhorn04
    It was the 6th inning. I guess you're saying we should have used a Relief Ace.
  13. Bellhorn04
    He's pitched 21 major league innings. In the 4 outings before last night he didn't give up any runs.
  14. Bellhorn04
    I think Cora's explanation for using Ort there makes sense. Now if we were 1 game out of a playoff spot and not 10, the same answer wouldn't make sense.
  15. Bellhorn04
    You have a point there. But football offenses have a lot of rules about alignments. The differentiation between offense and defense is kind of an arbitrary one.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Of course it doesn't always work. But when you're 3 games out with 2 months left and you expect to have Chris Sale and some other guys ready to come back, do you write it off? In retrospect the answer would be yes. At the time it isn't that easy. I do understand your point. We just have a philosophical disagreement, I think. In a sense you can blame the expanded playoffs for giving so many teams a potential chance to get in.
  17. Bellhorn04
    How about "these guys with less major league experience", then?
  18. Bellhorn04
    I think tanking and fire sales are bad for the game.
  19. Bellhorn04
    How many kinds of defensive penalties have you seen called in NFL games?
  20. Bellhorn04
    Yep. And in hockey, a pass across two lines used to be illegal. Then they legalized it because they thought it would increase goal-scoring.
  21. Bellhorn04
    There are plenty of rules that limit what NFL players can do. I believe "illegal formation" is a thing...
  22. Bellhorn04
    I think a lot of safe/out calls in baseball are very difficult. I'm sure you're right that tennis isn't that easy either, though.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Tennis is a relatively simple game to officiate.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Sounds like you're ready to call him a bust.
  25. Bellhorn04
    So maybe they shouldn't have spent so much this year. Maybe they should have gone full-on tank and fire sale. Trying to please the fans had a lot to do with this combination of high payroll and suckitude. I was one of the fans who wanted them not to tank or fire sale, so I'm willing to live with the results.
