bad hops getting spiked by opponents coming down the line or just getting run into running into or over your own pitcher getting run into by your second baseman or right fielder running into the stands or the dugout chasing foul balls oh hum - I could just go on and on
-
I know I know - but that is why I like Cora. He is fresh and new but he ain't going to throw away the old. We old bastards still got a chance here.
-
With Elsbury in the middle he would never have survived.
-
I got to tell you but I think that you already know - It has worked for all of the greatest who ever played any game.
-
I hope we get chance to see how bad he is. lol How many of you out there can honestly say that you have watched and scrutinized the way he plays in the field? Raise your hands.
-
Oh come on now - lots of people here agree with you. I agree with respect to most things baseball as well. What I do think about this though is that if a player thinks he is going to be a better hitter because of whatever people mean when they say "protection", he stands a better chance to hit. Believing that you can do something before you attempt to do it in my estimation is very important.
-
I agree with you. He just looks like he is stuck in Pawtucket. I think that it is very sad. I think that he probably could help just about any team.
-
lol - your glass just topped out!
-
I have full confidence in saying that if Swihart gets through the spring healthy, he will make this team. I really hope that they don't wind up trading him.
-
It is interesting that the guys on the field really don't seem agree with this. What I have liked so far about Cora, is that he is not robotic. I am sure that he will use every available piece of research to help him with the decisions that he will make. Now Kimmi, I do not want to argue with you or your legion of fans who support most of what you say. Hey - I respect you too with respect to some things. I like Alex as much now as when he played the game. That says something about the direction I'm coming from most of the time.
-
I expect him to see some time in left field obviously as well and before I hit him with the tried and true analytical analysis that he really stinks out there, I'm going to reserve judgement until I actually have a chance to really watch him play.
-
Sorry - I think that you are absolutely wrong. 2 different opinions and that is not bad. In terms of safety, something that I don't think Cora will consider when he puts his team on the field, you can throw a blanket over those two position.
-
I agree with this. I think the major reason though is that I played and coached for so long. Coached a lot longer than played.
-
I like your style. The glass is half full!
-
So I'm hearing you say that you think that it would safer for him to be in the infield than to play an occasional left field. Sorry - can't agree with that one either.
-
He could break his ankle or anything doing just about anything else. Basically, I have no problem with him playing some left field and I think that if any of you think that he will just dh for this team, you are dreaming. I do not think that he is as bad as people seem to think that he is. He will get a chance to prove me wrong.
-
I think that JD if given the chance to play some left field will prove that he is better than most people think he is out there.
-
I think that he has looked pretty good. Just not good enough for this team. I wish that he a contract that might make him tradeable.
-
It is always and will always be a great discussion - the old batting order. I 'm still going to go with this overall perspective - Sale, Hanley and probably every other hitter on this team has had something to say about what it will mean for them to have JD in the middle of the lineup. Better pitches for them. Less pressure and less anxiety - they get to relax just a little.
-
I don't even know what that is. How about that.
-
lol - ok that really was a mistake. When I noticed it, it actually was a little too late to edit I think. i really didn't do that on purpose. sorry about that.
-
Fascination versus simply cheering for someone - big difference. Many of us have been talking hitting, a need that does not look like such a need all of a sudden. Now it kind of looks like the whine turns to the pitching staff. Lest we forget though notin, Johnson just turned 28 and you know what you think of all old guys. Brian Johnson certainly has never fascinated me anymore than either Brentz or Barfield have. I think he has a good chance of making this team in one fashion or another- spot starter, long relief. In his case, it is about is health and not his sort of slow fastball. He knows how to pitch and how to get people out. If he makes it, it will be another very good story that we should cheer about.
-
I think Bullhorn gets up earlier than most of us as well. He might be in a different time Zone! lol
-
Elias might be in the mix as well.
-
thanks - I really hope Swihart keeps right on moving. He looks like he is in excellent shape and very confident. He could make a push for a number of different spots out there before it is over. As far Barfield, I think the Sox are really curious about him as well they should be. We don't see many guys come along with his size and power very often. My guess is that he is in Pawtucket and the Sox will keep a good eye on him.
