Clearly some aren't going to buy into knotheads. You might have to send out a memo. It is a term of endearment. Sure as hell beats notinothings!

The Alex Cora Managerial Decision Thread
cp176 replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
There is absolutely no rational reason why anyone shouldn't be able to expect Kimbrel to give you 4 outs. The question is whether making a change at the time he made it was the right move. Kimbrel isn't cursed. It just wasn't his night. -
It is good for sure to see him putting some hits up. I know that there are some great fielding outfielders in the game today but watching Bradley closely - the jumps he gets - the angles he takes - the respect his teammates give him when in comes to center field priority - his speed - and his cannon for an arm - it is very hard for me to imagine anyone being better. I go as far back as Gary Gieger. JBJ is the best centerfielder I have seen playing for the Sox. I used to think Freddie but he is going to have to hold down the number 2 spot in my mind from now on. Keep on hitting JBJ.

Don't ask me to name them though! I shall call them knotheads.

say it ain't so Jackie boy! let's go

I'm with you here. I've supported Pomeranz for sure . When I saw him last year, all I saw was a young big lefty throwing real real well. this year not so much. i feel for this guy. I'm going to be patient and keep on hoping but I really am not all that optimistic. He might have fallen off a cliff but I don't think the team will anytime soon. lol

I do think that if Groome was healthy and doing well and Chavis was a normal productive prospect as wrong is it might be there are probably some people who would tend to think that our farm was not all that bad. They would for sure help with the outlook but still thin nonetheless. I agree though - still thin for the time being. Your choice of words suits me better I guess.
-
I agree that it is depleted. Certainly not to the point that it will not be recoverable. I just don't buy into the embellishing use of verbiage. It is just me I guess but when it rains outside, I tend to call it rainy, I don't suggest that it is monsoon season. In my opinion, almost every move that was done was done with a goal in mind - to make us a better baseball team. We have some of the best players in the game playing for us right now and tomorrow because of some of the trades made. If we had kept a majority of the players that we traded away, yup Pawtucket and Portland might be destination points but our current team would be no where near as good as it is now,. I think that our future will be just fine as well even though we no longer have the talented players traded away who likely would never appear on a Red Sox roster until it expands in the fall. Once again just my opinion. It really doesn't appear that my opinion is a popular one. i'm ok with that.
-
I don't agree with respect to your choice of words nor to your description of our current farm system. I think that it is depleted but not quite to the extent that you and your supporters say that it is. You do have lots of support for sure just not from me but hey my head is in the sand right.
-
I'm gradually realizing that!
-
I wonder if people would be whining as much about our obviously irreparable farm system (lol) if Groome had stayed healthy and Chavis had stayed off the drugs.
-
71 wins and the constant is the crying over our bullpen and our need for more starting pitching plus lots of other stuff. I think that it is important to try to get better but I am completely happy with this team but it is also evident that I have a problem with reality. Glad I do because I'm not ready to jump off any cliff anytime soon. Also, I don't even think about October baseball though until it gets here.
-
Saying that the farm system is depleted is correct - saying that it is toast is an opinion that I don't share. If I'm the one you are calling an ostrich. I don't really like that. I don't see things the way you do.
-
I don't think that our farm is toast at all. No one obviously ml ready but pretty soon they will be. I think that DD did what needed to be done. It is ok obviously for people to question everything that any GM does. Personally I love the way this guy operates. That doesn't mean that I agree with everything that he does but I far prefer a GM who acts as opposed to reacts or one who does not act. I don't hindsight deals that have been made. Some work and some don't. I think that he is for the most part one step ahead of the competition.
-
I really don't agree with much of what you have listed here but whatever. Where the hell are you Hitch? Who do you mean by many of us? Come on - If I have to be more specific than so do you. Let's go.
-
We do live in a sick sick world but that once again that is just my opinion. If any surgery is needed then so be it I guess. But electing to agree or approve of a young person probably your own son to have any unneeded surgery in hopes of adding a few miles per hour to a fastball just sounds like border line abuse to me. If they are hurt I guess that is one thing, but I really hope that this practice isn't going on. To each his own I guess, I don't get out much.
-
Now seriously Hitch i was just having some fun with you. I have been admonished for my efforts and with all due respect I will refrain form these silly types of things in the future.
-
oh how I long for the old daze
-
I think that it is very odd how people don't appreciate different points of view and opinions.
-
I actually have a pretty good idea how a discussion works Hitch. I'll keep making my sweeping statements and you keep making your little condescending ones.
-
You clearly are a stat geek Moon but a tolerable one at that because you actually know something about the game being played on the field.
-
I don't really think that my post was intended to specifically point out anyone. That really isn't something I tend to do in general unless I am forced to do so. I think that actually some of the time notin you try to appreciate someone's elses point of view.
-
You aren't really interested in any kind of discussion with me and you know that. And seeing how you are right that it is a discussion forum I will continue to make all of the sweeping statements I wish to make. If you would like to discuss something that relates to baseball with me, I'm all for it.
-
I know - right. I guess now we have to identify all people who say things that we seem to disagree with or that we might even see as being stupid. Is "someone" trying to turn this forum into an institute of higher learning? Do we have to now "quantify" all statements that we make?
