I tried hard to watch the game yesterday but I lost control. Paxton, who I would love to see them resign, walks three. This stuff happens. he got squeezed a bit but he was still throwing well and then... I think that Kike's days in boston should be numbered. Playing him anywhere right now is a gamble. The players may like Cora, I'm not so sure that I do. The two errors(even though one was was called a hit) sealed the deal. Tells me that defense is not valued like it should be and that is a surprise considering that Cora was a field first kind of guy. Those mistakes should not have happened. Also, imagine my surprise when I saw Turner (who I also really like) at second base Friday night. They got lucky on a pop fly that would have been easily caught by Verdugo if Turner had not been in the way. It is a classic clown show with Cora's attempts to keep everybody happy.

Wow - You just ran right over the top of me I guess. Great job. Obviously this meaningless pissing contest has just been all me. Sorry.
-
Wait - I just read your whole post. You are telling me that believing in people bothers me. You don't know me right? Anyone who makes a comment like that is just simply terribly insecure or just looking for an argument which you won't get from me.
-
What is it that is bothering you about this? Trust me, nothing you could ever say would get me hot and bothered. I really do get a kick out of your posts as I do a few others who post here. I've often times felt and said the same things that you have said but they weren't figures of speech they were my actual feelings. In my case, I have been proven wrong more than I have been proven right.

Semantics really? I'm glad that you knew Mookie was going to be a star when he played in Salem. Hey, I knew that JBJ, Moncada, and Benitendi were going to be stars when they were playing in Portland. You sure do know more than I do. Good job.
-
I think that there is quite a difference in comparing what they seem to be capable of doing.
-
Or it could also mean that the stubbornness with respect with what something on paper says that he should not face lefties? he is a hitter - let him go.
-
Wait - quick question - When betts was in Salem playing as a second baseman you were sure that he was going to be a star?
-
I realize that people have platooned for years just not with some hitters. Now I'm not ready to suggest that Duran is that special just yet but it certainly looks like the gamble might be worth it. having four capable outfielders is not a problem either. Sadly I do think that it is beginning to look as though Kike is the odd man out. Sadly I think that every time he is put into the ss position he is being set up for failure.

Trading Paxton in any kind of trade that would not bring in pitching talent that could help us right now, spells "we are done for this year". I don't like it because it sounds like quit to me. I would have to think that many fans would feel that way as well. I want something to look forward to every year including this year. Now Paxton might get traded and it might be a good move for the future but I have to think if he doesn't get traded and we do not resign him, the future still can look just as bright.

I'm with you here. I love the game but do not find that being immersed in the metrics aspects of it makes my opinions any less important than the two or three people here who live breathe and die by them. I actually miss many of the elements of baseball that used to be so important not seeming to have relevance anymore. it is one of the reasons Duran's play is really special I think. No team wants to see this guy get on base. Bunting, running, moving runners just seem like lost arts that I do think still work.
-
Duran has proven at this point in time that he deserves to be out there everyday regardless of who is pitching. I don't think that playing the metrics game with an athlete like this does anybody any good. He just puts too much pressure on the defense. I'm with you on Casas. I'm very hopeful but I'm not sold on him just yet. It's not like he has really ripped things up at any ml level as of yet. it looks like the potential is there but we shall see.
-
I'm not suggesting they keep him for another season, I just don't like the idea of a total give up on this one with a return that might be very questionable. Basically I guess I just never liked the idea of quitting.
-
I don't think that holding on to Paxton makes them a ring contender by any means but at least it gives them a shot at the wild card possibly. It keeps a whole group of people tuned in. Even the real contenders for a ring have to get very lucky to win one. All you really need to do is get to the playoffs. If they decide to trade him, I really hope that they are smart about it.
-
Well deserved by the way. So quick questions for those who want to trade him. who you going to get in return? You'll be giving up on this season right?
-
yes!
-
wow - doubled up on myself

I don't expect to see the real Chris Sale again. I'm glad that I had a chance to see him at his best at least for a couple of starts. I do appreciate how hard he works in his attempts to get back to it, but the body just doesn't want to listen. he is right there beside Clemens and Martinez with respect to the best pitchers that I have seen in a Boston uniform. I appreciate what he did. Houck wants to start and he should start. I think that in general Crawford may have a chance to make it in some role which has yet to be determined. I'm also very pleased with the Sale pretender - Paxton. Hope he can stay healthy. I'd be tempted to leave Pivetta right where he is. Just tempted.

Im hanging in by a thread with these guys. Hopefully Houck gets back when he should. I wouldn't be opposed to making trades if it did something to help us out defensively up the middle.
-
If Paxton is traded, which I guess is likely, assuming he continues to pitch like he has been, wouldn't that kind of indicate that this season is basically over for us? Do you think that the return gotten from him would give us anything that might come close with respect to the value of a top of the line starter. I don't - I guess that is why I think that it would be silly to trade him. I'm not quite ready to give up on this season.
-
Definitely an error on Kike. That play could have been called by the catcher or either middle infielder. If it was called from the dugout, we have a lot more problems with player development than anyone needs.
-
and the point is your opinion which of course i value as i do anyone elses whether I agree with them or not.
-
thank you ...
-
How about that attempted pickoff play at second base. I'm not sure at what level of baseball you might expect to see that done but certainly not at this one. I do kind of wonder at times who is actually coaching these guys.
