The 1978 team was the most star-studded Red Sox team of 'em all, I think (sigh). -
Are there only stars and jabronis in your books, Denny?
-
Good for you, man. Needless to say, all you health care providers should be looked after first.
-
I'm 75% Scottish/25% French. The other thing Scots are known for is being tightwads LOL
-
The thing is, if you make a big splash for Springer, it won't leave enough money for pitching. And this team has made plenty of splash signings over the last 15 years or so, and most of them have been major busts. Why should Henry want to do it all over again?
-
It was more a case that he wanted out, no? It wasn't a lack of productivity. He posted a .926 OPS with us that year.
-
Our offense ended up with decent overall numbers. JDM was the only big disappointment. Verdugo was great, JBJ had a strong finish, Dalbec chipped in late etc.
-
Manny's deal didn't even end all that poorly, really. It was a messy exit, but we got J-Bay in the trade.
-
There are very few free agent contracts given to premier players that aren't at least one or two years too long.
-
Of course.
-
We were talking about credit for the 2018 team, and based on your post #1666 above, you seemed pretty dubious about giving BC any credit for that.
-
Hal sets the budget for Cash quite rigidly. Wouldn't let him do a thing at last year's deadline. It's not really a big surprise if there's only enough room in Hal's big dollar pie for DJ. So Cash might have to roll the dice on the rotation. Or maybe he'll swing a trade for a starter.
-
I don't think he'll go away. He has an uncontrollable urge to start a thread every time a thought pops into his head.
-
You are a total YAWN.
-
Which is part of the reason I was surprised he was lukewarm about Schilling getting in the HOF. Schilling is 8th all-time in that stat, and most of the guys ahead of him are still active with much shorter careers.
-
There are a bunch of otherwise good hitters who had horrible 2020 numbers. A good place to start might be the Cubs. Baez .599, Rizzo .755, Bryant .701. (Bryant had some injury issues, I guess.) On the flip side, Heyward .848. Kind of screams small sample variances.
-
Not from everyone, and not from Nick.
-
Not Chris Davis - Khris Davis.
-
The fact is that both deserve credit.
-
Being a pessimist after Game 3 of the 2004 ALCS doesn't even count as being a pessimist.
-
I probably didn't make it clear enough, but when I said I was an optimist I was really only referring to the state of the Red Sox.
-
You shouldn't be a total pessimist about this team. 4 rings, and we've got Henry, Bloom and Cora. (And Venable and Varitek etc.) And not far from a contending team.
-
Here's why it would be nice to sign Porcello on a reasonable deal. He would provide some insurance against the various health and durability issues inherent in that rotation.
-
Not for me. I strike a balance between optimist and realist.
-
And I agree with that. But the nice part about being an optimist is that you feel better up until you find out whether you're right or not.
