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?
-
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.
-
Not sure how to take this notin - my wink wink had to do with Pedroia's height. What's a que anyway?
-
If it is even possible, Lynn was so smooth out there he made plays that others could not make look easy.
-
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.

How many Sox games do you watch live per year?

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
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
not too shabby
-
lol - that's as bad as a fly in the beer.
-
Yup - i agree.
-
5-0 in one run games.
-
I think that that is the point and if anybody compares JD to any of those guys in that outfield, they are delusional. He is what he is and most of us are damned happy we have him. Cora is for sure going to use him in the outfield and people are going to have to just live with it I guess. Quite a few people here have repeatedly said how bad he is. I'm assuming that they aren't basing their opinions simply on what the defensive stats have said. they must have watched him play extensively as well. I have not and I'm going to give him and his coach the benefit of the doubt. I don't think that he looks smooth out there but he has done the job. No complaints from me.
-
I don't think that he has hurt us much out there so far. However Cora wants to use the guy works for me.
-
I do to but so far he has made the plays. He hasn't looked stellar on every play but he has done the job. Cora is going to rest his guys and run them through a rotation. We've seen that. Moreland is going to be at first a good deal. Ramirez is going to be doing some dhing and JD is going to see some action in the outfield. I know how you feel about Martinez and his fielding but Cora must have some confidence in him I guess.
-
Glad to have you back with us Dojji and good luck. I don't think that Cora is nervous at all about using JD occasionally out there. so far so good although I admit it hasn't always looked pretty.
-
I don't think he will either for a while but someday maybe.
