  1. Good man Mooreland - that is called lumbering along
  2. I am not a big believer in the simple expression - sample size. Playing twice a week would probably provide what some might feel is an adequate sample size. It is still not the same as everyday play.
  3. i do not believe that his surgery retarded his fitness level certainly from an aerobic level at all - certainly shouldn't have. He looks good.
  4. I hope that you are right. We will see.
  5. You got no flack from me. That said, i would not move Bogaerts in order to experiment to find out whether anyone could be an everyday player. I think Hernandez could do it but it would still just an experiment that just isn't necessary.
  6. I don't think that it is fair to judge any player based on very sporadic playing time at best. In a regular routine of play, what's not to like so far. He hasn't undergone a transformation. He is the same fielder that he was last year.
  7. i hope so. he looks quicker than in the past. i think that his fitness level is excellent. it very well may pay good dividends for him down the trail.
  8. I agree
  9. I'm also going to add that some of you think that Hernandez is barely average in the field. Based on what precisely? He looks better than just average to me over there.
  10. I'm just always amazed that people still blame anybody for any of the crap signings. i am much more concerned with what we do with what we have. I'm hoping that Bogaerts feels the same way. Papi is gone- end of story.
  11. Or you don't try to move that base runner over and just ground into another dp. Hmm - whatever floats your boat. Wait though because pretty soon these guys are all going to start busting it right.
  12. Don't start throwing around the labels. That type of thinking gets latched onto to easily. I am not a small ball guy at all. My thought is though that if something isn't working, then trying something else is a good thing. I think that it is absolutely ridiculous to not try something different when what is supposed to happen isn't happening. Thus the argument behind bunting, stealing, hitting and running. When the runs start coming, great back to the original plan. I just don't think losing games now and saying everything is ok because we soon will start to hit makes any sense.
  13. i could not agree with you more and have felt this way for a ling time. Go to Portland, you see the same thing. We need players at some level who at least will make a pitcher think before throwing. i agree with everyone who says that this team will. The issue is will they produce runs. Lots of singles and lots of doubles. It is not a bad thing but we need some major punch in our system as well.
  14. Pomeranz = not bad last night
  15. Old school and traditional here - i like a little more power coming out of my third baseman but their is no doubt in my mind but what Hernandez can get it done in the field. When Eck was talking about it the other night, i was listening. Sandoval will get another shot I'm sure but for how long that is the question. I don't think that it will be the $ that drive the decision. They want the best players on the field! lol
  16. I enjoyed watching Vazquez behind the plate last night. It might be his time.
  17. Are you kidding me? Have to be right? Too soggy to run the bases the right way?
  18. Max - I hope that there was never any doubt in your mind that Farrell knows more about what is going on than any of us.
  19. gold glove - ********
  20. I love Remy's stories
  21. you might be right but i don't know to what extent they follow the the teachings of Mr.James. i really just believe that if something isn't working you better be able to have a plan B. Now, they very well might come out of this fine, I just think that from a coaching perspective it is your job to do what you can do to try to help their chances to win. That is a primary part of coaching.
  22. A clear cut example of the data painting the picture you want painted.
  23. No wants wants a team that has as their claim to fame as being just brawlers. I wish that these guys did have some of that kind of fight in them though. Talent is great but in no way is it enough.
  24. ain't that a fact - it's them little ankle biters that you have to watch out for. Particularly if they are gummers - be they human or otherwise.
  25. thanks - i'm always up for a few beers. How did you do that anyway? Is that even legal? Can you do that with tax returns as well? You numbers guys scare me.
