  1. All reports keep saying the same thing about Sam Travis - hitting machine. What do you think? Love to see a a spring training game with Shaw at third and Travis at first.
  2. how about when McHale discouraged Rambis from driving to the basket against the C's!!!
  3. ABA and Connie Hawkins. For people who never saw him play - just makes you understand how people can actually do the things they do.
  4. I am cheering for him. I am actually cheering for both of them but if I had to bet, I would bet that Shaw will be at one of those corners before bunker hill day.
  5. Your are right. Most people are willing to give the guy a chance. If he doesn't get it done, I just hope they make the change sooner as opposed to later. Shaw could still be the better player. Spring training in this case is very meaningful. he has to be able to field his position.
  6. Just heard a report from a couple of local guys who have just come back from spring training. There has been quite a bit of positive stuff written about Hanley these days but not so much about Pablo. There take on things after watching them put in their work is that Sandoval works on all aspects of his game as much as anyone and actually looks good doing it.
  7. If they get off to a bad start, I don't think that they will have to worry about trying to find anything other than that to politely ask him to leave. Don't think that rumors about his love life will have much of an impact one way or another. It's all about the winning and the losing.
  8. and there it goes
  9. Here i am actually watching some baseball again! Wright - ok let's go.
  10. I would bet that somebody could dig some s*** up if they tried real hard. Maybe even if they didn't try real hard.
  11. Must be another slow news day. I have a need to know things but not these things.
  12. New York athletes and firearms. What's it all about? Looking at another Plaxico Burress. Keep him away from public places.
  13. It is no big deal but how ironic that it happened to him and that it happened this early. Would have looked a little better if he had been lower.
  14. guess they need to get the nets up
  15. I agree with you. having compassion for others is very important the but here is that if the truth was known we probably all have stories that we could tell. I am a baseball fan . A Red Sox fan actually. I admit that when Sandoval was signed, i was excited. I had no idea what we were getting. He receives what $19 million per year? I don't know him thus I do not hate him but if they cut him today in order to give Shaw a shot, i would be very excited. I do not think that he deserves anything more than the 19 million per year that he negotiated. If he truly needs help, they should send him away for awhile to get the help he needs. If he comes back after making the effort to get well, great I say give him another shot. i want the best players to be on the field. If he is the best player than I will cheer for him. My right as a fan.
  16. Agree! They are going to have to sort a few things out eventually. Ramirez, Sandoval, Shaw, Travis, Swihart, Moncada, Benintendi, Castillo, JBJ. It is a great situation to be in for sure. Hope that the decisions that they ultimately make turn out to be the right ones. There are also a number of pitching prospects that need to get good lucks before it is too late also. Owens, Wright, Johnson, as well as Kelly.
  17. Wow - haven't heard about Sam playing third. What do you think they will do with Moncada? He is going to be ready well before anyone has expected. I think that he is close now. I know that there has been talk about moving him to the outfield. I would love to see them start working him out at third base. Shaw has also played some left field. I think that pretty soon they will get their best players on the field regardless of contract size. That will be very exciting.
  18. Hope he does to but I don't think that he will be at first unless Travis is traded. He might be traded but he has an explosive bat that maybe they should keep around.
  19. Have read and heard nothing but great stuff about Travis for a while now. i think that there will still be a place for Shaw. Third base I hope someday. Have fun down south. Weather is great right now.
  20. I am a little bit Spud. We need him to be able to pitch so badly that any setback is going to cause concern. Sounds like he is going to be ok but who knows. Good little writeup about Sam Travis this a.m. I think that we are going to like him a lot. I like him at first base and Travis Shaw at third.
  21. And there you have it! In 2013, even though we did have our fair share of luck plus, the roster was full of complete players who appeared to be decent humans, battling away for a common cause. We are close to being there again. Not quite there yet but pretty soon.
  22. Sorry - I was not being accusatory. Honestly, i was just stating a need for balance. I think that the use of advanced metrics is very important just probably not as important as some. For the record, i am pretty sure that I have never even implied that I didn't think that all aspects of data compilation is very important. I thought it was a fairly harmless statement to make.
  23. Ouch - painful here! I've been put in my place!
  24. Sticking with brian johnson on this one if he gets a chance.
  25. Brian Johnson
