6/7 @ New York (AL)

What I had I gave because what I saved I lost always worked pretty well for me. Within obvious reason, you do what you can do to win in the present. -
i agree- we need that bat.
-
Maybe i might agree with you someday if Pomeranz becomes a part time pitcher. His 5 or 6 good innings when he goes out there is starting to look better and better when you factor in Porcello's work lately.
-
I agree for sure but it can work both ways. Being a little too cute on occasion can work against you.
-
i certainly don't disagree with this take but why do I sometimes think that he is framing some pitches without needing to? Umpires can be swayed by any subtle movement of a catcher's mitt. On occasion, I have felt that he has moved pitches that were borderline strikes that wound up being called balls simply because of the movement. he can be a little too busy back there.
-
I think that saying he might be a little to busy is really what I mean to say.
-
it was a move that made solid baseball sense.
-
Was it a Pomeranz thing or a Vazquez thing or just me last night with the parade of trips to the mound? I didn't like it. I don't like over catching any more than I like over coaching. I think one of the reasons I like Leon is that it looks simpler to me. He puts a sign down and it just seems like the pitcher tends to throw the ball. Plus the fact that I see 0 difference in their overall abilities or future potential going forward. I don't need flashy just competent behind the plate.

i was just being a wise ass - i was actually referring to Varitek but for the people who didn't see Fisk catch with Boston, they might not have appreciated my attempt at comparative humor. Outside of Fisk, Gedman looked damn good. I loved him. But, what do I know - i grew up with the likes of Russ Nixon, Bob Tillman, Mike Ryan, and jerry Moses. When an aging beaten up Elston Howard came on board, I was never so happy. For the record, Fisk always tops my list.
-
ok ok - I'm sorry. I just want Fisk back. There was someone that came after him too that I liked almost as much.
-
come on - we got Pomeranz on the hill tonight - it's all good! lol (where is Slasher when I need him? Just kidding there.)
-
Most of us I think anyway have come to terms with what JBJ seems to be although we can still hope for someone a little less streaky. With the lack of power in our lineup, I think that some people have expectations of him that he can't fulfill.
-
rubles - no s*** - a Ruskie in our midst. Putin for President - i bet he is sizing up the potential for a go at it right now
-
When i enter the park, I find my seat then just wander around. I pay the price for my brews in the park. I always go to the red seat. i sit beside it not in it. I am not worthy. Seriously what a freaking clout it took to get a ball up there. I just enjoy walking around. Seats are cramped and uncomfortable no matter where you are. I fit in them just fine but many people I have sat beside tend to slop over on to me. I try to keep moving.
-
We have two catchers that appear to do what they are paid to do - which is to catch (and all of the stuff that goes along with it). Being able to do their primary job adequately (which isn't to hit), makes them both assets. I don't see much difference between the two. I wish that either one of them could be a dependable hitter as well going forward but whatever as long as they do their job they can share the position for all I care.
-
both of our catchers are great backup guys. lol
-
We need one more real bat in the lineup! if for no other reason than to make our opponents think that we have one legit h/run threat in there.
-
You might be right - he probably has a bright future. He may become a very valuable player for us going forward.
-
For the most part it looks as though we have a small team. Quite possibly very athletic but still kind of small by today's standards. It might not mean a thing.
-
Most of the media must not have ever seen Freddie play.
-
lol - our lineup for the most part is smaller than Baltimore's second baseman. my 5 year old tee ball star grandson clearly has a future in New England.
-
6/4 @ Baltimore

The problem as I see it here Max is that Pomeranz is going to be pitching to the Yankees. -
Leon is just fine. Who is the better catcher? I still think that it is a coin flip. You play the one who is at least a little warm with the bat. We are in pretty good shape with both.
-
It has been proven statistically and emphasized many times that you are without a doubt correct. It is all about talent and a random roll of the dice. The rest of those things are just a bunch of horse s***. lol - i'm finally coming around.
