    very cool

    Harmony - take note that is how you slide into second base

    somebody said earlier that JBJ wa keeping his head on the ball. Not seeing that. JD keeps his head on the ball.

    I'm with you here as is just about everybody else although I can't give a free pass to Natick to NC - lol - you shouldn't be able to change your mind about something that quickly. (sarcasm again NC - lol)

    he kind of lost it here don't you think when he said pink hat types - I don't really know that that expression has much meaning but I'm pretty sure that we aren't it whatever it is! I think that the bullpen will ultimately be ok once things get sorted out. Maybe Johnson winds up out there. I will say though that if the emphasis is going to be on trying to limit pitchers to just a few over or under 100 pitches,then the bullpen is going to be stressed most of the time. Just getting through 6 solid innings looks good for our guys for the most part I think.

    I think that this is a great post! It is an angle I certainly have not thought of. Harmony has repeatedly tried to paint Kelly as the primary villain here. If people want to think that possibly Austin went into that bag not having the primary purpose being to nail Holt with his spikes up then I guess when Kelly says he did not intentionally hit Austin and that the pitch just got away with him it is just as easily believable as well. No one I hope wants to see these guys injured this way, but as is normally the case there will be more than side to most stories. I like yours the best!

    I just heard a good one from an old timer (tough old timer) from New York down here yesterday. Bouton came from the same town he grew up in. He said he was a weird dude when he was young. He used to get beat up by his buddies on a regular basis. I made the mistake of calling my friend a Yankee fan - He corrected me quickly - doesn't like them - He was a Brooklyn fan!

    Like i said - who has said that we should trade this guy right now? Maybe I'm giving people too much credit but I don't see anybody really advocating for that. There are a lot of people here including me who aren't happy with his continued lack of hitting. I'm just saying that there are a couple of posters who just want to keep cranking it up by saying that there are a pant load of people who want him gone right now - that is not the case. Natick to NC - hope you see this post. It's a good thing this forum is a fantasy world and we get to change our minds when it suits us. lol SARCASM

    I wonder if that is how Buck looks everyday when he gets up
  10. cp176
    The point being made is not whether the slide was interpreted as being ok under the current rule or not. It is whether or not the slide was ethically acceptable or not. i guess the Red Sox felt that it was not. I agree with the home team on this one. I guess if a guy slides directly across the bag, he can get away with it. In this case, it was pretty obvious that he did not. He went directly at Holt with spikes up.
  11. cp176
    I agree with you - I've seen a lot worse and I bet we all have. My whole bitch is that that is not a method of sliding that is taught anywhere in the world. If it is , it is being taught by idiots. When the spikes are up and do not contact the bag there is only one intention and it isn't good. He gets tossed right then and no one gets thrown at. If they truly are trying to protect these guys then that's what has to be done. For the record for perhaps the tenth time, I do not like the rule.
  12. cp176
    oh yeah - he was my main man as a kid growing up!
  13. cp176
    and that is all that needs to be said.
  14. cp176
    he's probably back next Tuesday. You trying to take a sensible approach on here these days is just not acceptable. Now we get to see the Price haters at work once again. Maybe we just have too much good pitching right now to think that a guy we just don't like could ever help us. lol
  15. cp176
    Give me a little Argentina Rocca and we really will be talking good stuff.
  16. cp176
    thats good really good but I'm more inclined to actually listen and believe what Kimbrel has to say about pitching in the 9th as opposed to anything data driven might have to add.
  17. cp176
    Is that Bruno Samartino?
  18. cp176
    I'm primed for a shitstorm. I need just a little more of Harmony trying to explain to me that that crap ass slide by Austin the other night was not fundamentally f***ed up.
  19. cp176
    stop that slasher - to much work for me plus I might find out that there was a least one moron who thinks that right now we might be better off with one our low A guys in center. lol It's been a good discussion. Seriously I can see that people are frustrated with him though but it kind of sounds like a couple of you guys interpret that frustration as meaning half if not more of the posters here don't want him out there. I don't see it that way. I like him very much but I think that he needs to hit just a bit better than some of you do I guess. I think that he is an elite center fielder but we have some resident statistical geniuses here (and yes that is what sarcasm really looks like Natick NC) who don't consider him elite like I do. So I guess I am surprised that some of those folks seem to be defending him all of a sudden. I'm hoping that he hits so this discussion will ultimately end. He is the best we got right and he ain't bad.

    still looking for that one special gem that says he should be benched or traded right now.
  21. cp176
    My guess is that he is pissed off that it isn't just about him anymore. He will help us for sure but maybe him being out for awhile has been good for him and the team. They are doing pretty damn good without him.
  22. cp176
    It is just goofy! They can't seem to come up with name. Looks to me like what I just said to MVP - If you don't just love JBJ and everything about him I guess you must hate. Tough crowd here . You sure can't criticize him. lol
  23. cp176
    Oh I needed that to start my day!!!!!
  24. cp176
    You should now by now that if you don't prove on here that you absolutely love JBJ and all things about him then you must hate him. I just would like to know who these people are who want to see him traded right now. I've asked numerous times for anyone who doesn't think that he is our best option in center field at this time to speak up but no one ever speaks up.
  25. cp176
    I'm on this wavelength too. No normal person really wants to see these guys risk injury by brawling but like so much else on occasion it is part of the game. They support each it looks to me. I was amazed at Joe kelly - no backdown. It's the team's attitude I think. I really love the fact that Pedroia gets to sit and watch it. I'm pretty sure he will be on board with the rest of them when he returns.
