    I agree with for the most part players need to play. Coaches and managers not so much these days. Bad managing though I think can impact a game greatly. No managing is better than bad managing.

    Keep that snow down there!

    agree although my tad's worth of luck might be bigger than most.

    lol - but I have to say I would have to be the last person to judge anyone based on whether they threw a club or not.

    I have watched him just like the rest of us for a number of years now and I think that we all appreciate his defense but I don't think that there is any way that he gets resigned if he rejects an appropriate offer from this club. He very well may not be on the team's list of important players to resign at all. He is replaceable. I f he or his agent creates a situation where we have to choose between him or any number of our pitchers, JBJ will be heading somewhere else I 'm afraid based on what he has done to date in his career.

    Hey I give him all the credit in the world but I would hope that most good managers would have done the same things. Regardless of the way he played it yesterday, ultimately we got lucky as we have in a number of games this season. I'm not complaining.

    Hey - come on - I freaking loved that game.
  8. cp176
    Well my concept of randomness occurs as well. As I said before, looking at yesterday's game, I give credit to Cora for coaching a good game but the outcome of that game was not necessarily affected by anything that he did. He certainly didn't get in his own way but I think that a certain amount of random luck came into play as well.

    It would be extremely rare for me to ever blame a loss on a manager. To me that is different than a simple discussion as a fan on a forum board of any manager's decision. On the other hand, I recognize good managing and good leadership when i see it and I would give plenty of credit to a good manager for any win. Possibly even if I felt that they had a limited role in the win. Good makers will take all of the blame for losses and give all of the credit for wins to their players.

    I remember that so very well!

    Ok Max - First of all I am a Cora fan. But (God help me for saying this) what did he actually do that made it possible for us to win that game yesterday? I hate to even use the word random because I do think that a manager's decisions can greatly affect any games outcome but yesterday I didn't see much that Alex actually did that lead us to victory. We got lucky. You or I could have been in that dugout yesterday and we likely would have won the game. Bottom line for me so far this season is yes we have gotten off to a great start beating teams that we are expected to beat but we sure have had some luck on our side if you ask me.

    Well I would say that his pitching brother Brian Johnson does a pretty good job of it. Not sure why everybody is super surprised by Poyner - 2017 Sea Dogs pitcher of the year. He is pretty good. Guess Cora knows something!

    Haven't heard a soul complain about our record for sure. Outside of what I think is a damn good pitching staff, I choose to withhold judgement on this bunch until we start playing the teams that the sport's gurus think are the good ones.
  14. cp176
    I am going to focus on the current year for sure but with that being said, there has been a lot of talk about such things as future expenses and some people are expressing concern about not being able to sign this guy or that guy. I say why? We certainly are what we are right now but other than a good number of our pitchers does anybody think that a large majority of these guys aren't replaceable either through trade or maybe even bringing up kids that might show some life on the farm this year. Oh I know - our farm is in terrible shape right - I say what do we have to lose if these guys as a group do not hit better than they did last year? regardless of how well JBJ fields, he is definitely replaceable. Of our everyday players - Betts and Bogaerts for me are keepers - the rest of the bunch at present - yawn. Pay Betts, make a solid offer for Bogaerts and if he wants more oh well. We do have some quality pitchers it seems. I'm going to enjoy this season but before I get too attached to anymore of these guys they are going to have to play better. Forgot to add - keep Devers
  15. cp176
    Poyner and Johnson - cut from the same cloth. pitchers
  16. cp176
    I hear you here but you know how the game thread protocol or lack there of seems to work. I can deal with in a game thread not so much on the regular threads.
  17. cp176
    wow
  18. cp176
    I take everything I said back - let's go .
  19. cp176
    should have bunted -lol
  20. cp176
    Man do I ever hope I get to say - just kidding I take it all back.
  21. cp176
    I maybe have missed a total of 10 to 20 pitches this year but if we don't come back now, I'm taking a break to watch and play some golf. It might be a sport that is boring to some but this offense has been putting me to sleep since the season started.
  22. cp176
    I would look the same way! lol
  23. cp176
    Hey - Is that Alex over in the Jim Beam suite? New found respect for him if he is.
  24. cp176
    Hey Natick maybe Alex thinks that it won't make any difference - we are 2 runs down - might seem to him like it could be 200.
  25. cp176
    Man I tell you what that Chili Davis sure sucked don't you think. For those of you who think the hitting coach makes a huge difference - maybe not so much after all you think.
