  1. I don't want to come off here as saying that we shouldn't be concerned about David Price. We all are. I guess what I mean is that there are some things that stay in that clubhouse. I'm willing to accept the fact that I have been told what they want the public to be told. I believe that they are being as truthful as they can and need to be.
  2. Thank you for posting this. This is what I like and what we have been talking about. Regardless of what happens going forward for him, he gets it. I love these types of players.
  3. It works for me. i do not have that much of a need to know. it is possible that they might not even think that we need to know! What is the world coming to? What I am really trying to say is that anyone who really gives a s***, might want to consider what really matters in the world. if I am not part of the program, I am a fan. I'm pretty much good with what they tell me.
  4. I suppose it might. i think that maybe you and I see things a little differently don't you think? The good news at least for me is that I don't have to agree with any of your views and opinions and vice versa. And honestly, yes, I did think that I owed something to the person whose name appeared on the bottom of my paycheck.
  5. My statement was very general even though I think that it is an extremely accurate take on society today. i can only speak for myself. In his same situation, I would not be going.
  6. good - Without knowing anything at all about the CBA, my guess would be that the players are pretty well protected against anything that could conceivebly harm them.
  7. I was actually being sarcastic. I don't know how the system works and honestly I don't care. There continues to be a tremendous shortage of accountability in the world of today. Do what you want when you want and bitch of you don't like the fact that you don't get your way. Sorry but if I was his employer he would get what he should get - 0.
  8. I hope you do. I think that it is important that you do.
  9. No one is going to disagree with you there I hope. It's the (price) the high rollers pay though I guess. Nothing we can do about it.
  10. He has been posting here for awhile and has joined the so-called list of the accepted. i think that it is good to hear some takes from someone who works in the medical field. If the Red Sox are keeping something from us with respect to the Price injury, I'm ok with it. I don't have this great need to know. I agree with you with respect to having a little faith in what we have heard from the medical professionals who are dealing with Price. It is often suggested that the doctors and everyone working in the training field having anything to do with the Red Sox often don't know what they are talking about. I think that that is ridiculous. I'm pretty sure that they know what they are talking about.
  11. When he first broke in, all of the scouting reports said that a #2 was a reasonable projection. If he is healthy, he can certainly be more than adequate in the three hole. He has a talented arm and looks to be built for the long haul. I hope that there is not a disconnect between his brain and his arm.
  12. Sometimes in life, we have decisions to make. With a potential major league contract on the line, he is choosing to go pitch for his country. Can't criticize that can you in today's world. if he gets cut, maybe he will be able to sue the Red Sox to get what he thinks is his job back.
  13. i'm not sure at all whether he will come back when he thinks he will but I think that he is genuine and sincere. I know that there are people here who did not like the signing and the contract. I'm not one of them. I think that he is tough and very sincere. He has been a workhorse. Ridden hard and put away wet for most of his career. I think that he is the type of person and baseball player that we want in Boston.
  14. I want it to be a positive outcome for him and us of course, but I think that there is a good chance that what you have said might happen.
  15. I'm not sure that most think that it is meaningless at all. i think that there are plenty of people here who think that our pitchers should not be involved for sure. Personally, I don't think that contracted professionals should be playing in it.
  16. wait - what?- say again. lol
  17. You think Boudreaux's idea of a shift had an affect on Ted? Pissed him off for sure but I don't think they really bothered his production much.
  18. I agree totally with you. I also think that bunting is an art. Fewer and fewer players seem to truly be able to even get the ball on the ground. I'm pretty sure that it isn't something that is as valued as it was a few years ago. Notin mentioned Ted here. Ted saw shifts as a form of cheating and refused to go away from them. Not only was Ted in my opinion the greatest hitter of all time he was also one of the most stubborn individuals who has ever played the game. If Ted had wanted to go away from the shift, he would have. When I watched him, I kind of wondered why he didn't try to go away from the shift more often but normally he just showed us all why he was unique and didn't need to worry too much about them.
  19. If you were born and raised in New England, you might be right. If you expect the worst, anything positive seems petty good! lol Most of us, can't say all, will suffer a little right along with Price if he is out but I think that we will survive it. E-Rod, Pomeranz, and Wright if healthy I am going to bet will more than pick up the slack.
  20. Travis will be at first for us after this year if he is healthy. if Devers can't play third, I hope for his sake he hits well enough to dh.
  21. My guess is that Papi agreed with them but I'm not getting the comparison picture much though.
  22. site - that bugged me
  23. With the Price injury, if E-Rod pitches in the wbc, it would represent a major kick to the clackers.
  24. it is in there. weei.com. gave his rundown or impressions of the overall condition of the team. Mentioned the need for Devers to shed weight.
  25. ok - now I got it. Read it this morning from weei web sight . I would copy and paste the link for you but I am unfit technologically. I'm going back to see if I can find it again.
