    Believe it or not, i do agree with you. And I would be the first to tell you that my primary focus is on just on one team. We have had these discussions before about some of our other guys as well haven't we. It's kind of like trying to compare the defensive abilities of Lynn and Bradley I think. I watched lynn extensively as I have bradley. Two great great defensive players. Tough to go wrong with either one.

    Not that it really matters because we still look pretty good record wise but you were ok with him leaving Price in the ball game at that point? I don't think that any of us know what he was thinking. One guess I think is just as good as another. I'm still thinking that pulling Price at that point would have been a tough but good move by him.

    You are of course entitled to your opinion but let me get this straight - correct me if I'm wrong. Past statistics say that he has sucked defensively - Now even though he has not made an error in the field this year , he still sucks out there only now it is because he looks bad. is that what you are telling me? This emphasizes the importance of what my eyes tell me. I'm a little nervous when a ball is hit toward him as well but those past stats don't have much meaning to me. He is making plays while looking bad doing it! I can live with that. To date the stats don't support the claim that he sucks out there. No one claims he is a plus defensively by the way.

    I felt like I was watching the jv team for the most part.

    Boy do I agree with you here. The only reason I could even think of for Price staying in once runners got to both first and second was to get him the win. He should have made the move - no question. Rookie manager and a veteran pitcher who really had pitched an excellent game - maybe a tough one for him to make but Price's win loss record is secondary to the team's win loss record.

    Hang in there!

    You have been blessed. I have beaten myself up over the years. I have always been fairly fit but the aches and pains are trying to catch up with me. Have to keep moving because the alternative really is no alternative.

    What I am hearing you say here is that even though JD has made every play to date that he hasn't looked pretty doing it. Are your eyes telling you something that the stats are not backing up so far this year?
  9. cp176
    Personally I'd be more comfortable watching JD in left field as opposed to watching Nunez anywhere on the field. I get why people don't want to see JD out there but suggesting that Nunez should be out there instead- really. My eyes tell me that he looks very shaky in the field. lol

    Hope no one thinks that chronologically anyone is old at 35. Physically it's a whole different story.

    i don't remember that but I guess it wouldn't surprise me much that Rice said that I guess. Times were not always easy for him.
  12. cp176
    Not sure how to take this notin - my wink wink had to do with Pedroia's height. What's a que anyway?
  13. cp176
    If it is even possible, Lynn was so smooth out there he made plays that others could not make look easy.
  14. cp176
    When Lynn and Rice broke in together in 1975 it was absolutely incredible. I kind of thought that Rice would get the Rookie of the year and Lynn would get the MVP. Freddie was just flat out smooth. He made everything look easy whether he was hitting it or fielding it. He patrolled cf.

    Mays was the best all round baseball player that I have ever seen. Now you understand that I don't need to quantify everything with supportive stats - I love the game and I love what I personally can interpret. Fred Lynn was the best cf that I have seen in Boston. I never saw Dom Dimaggio but have heard and read that he was also outstanding. No question in my mind though about the "say hey kid" . The expression 5 tool player would have had a picture of Mays beside it if we had used these types of expressions back then.

    these west coast trips kill me - other than than that, I'm good for parts of or all of the rest of them.

    Hope that you few aren't suggesting that in general dojji's comment is wrong. Not everyone plays the game the same way. Of course there are always exceptions to the rule but in Pedroia's case he has played the game hard. he has thrown himself around to the extent that maybe he has gotten more out of himself than from a raw talent perspective he should have been able to. Other than running his mouth last year, it is hard to look at what he has done and not be pretty impressed. Maybe he comes back and gives a little more of the same and maybe he doesn't. A healthy knee, as some of you know I'm sure, is pretty important for a guy like Pedroia. You think he is cured? He can help us if he is reasonably healthy if not then it was worth a shot. 34-35 is not young for any 5'9" (wink wink) player who has a history of trouble with the same knee. I'm sure that we are all hoping for the best in his case.

    I know but you know how things work here. Notin should have started a new thread with this one. We might have seen all kinds of responses. lol
  19. cp176
    plus the fact that anyone who even suggests trading Bradley just to get JD into the outfield full time should have the word fool tattooed on their forehead. If that has been suggested, I missed it.
  20. cp176
    It is going to be interesting to see what Pedroia has left and for how long he can stay on the field. If he is healthy, he doesn't even have to be the same younger version of himself that we remember in order to help us. He'll be 35 in August.
  21. cp176
    Don't you think that maybe JD has had a little to do with the numbers we have been putting up? I mean he is doing ok isn't he?
  22. cp176
    not too shabby
  23. cp176
    lol - that's as bad as a fly in the beer.
  24. cp176
    Yup - i agree.
  25. cp176
    5-0 in one run games.
