I understand that you are a medical professional but saying that anyone who is 6'0" tall and weighs 200+ pounds is overweight without knowing the necessary facts and stats is an arbitrary call that may or may not be right. You can post a very educated response I'm sure but sorry it won't be one that I buy. I liken it to a bmi test without further tests or even a cholesterol test that fails to mention good cholesterol.

Correct

Once again notin here we go - no one said that it was anything but an immature act. I would simply say that anyone who brings that incident up at this point in time is someone who just wants to be heard. That is it. I tend not to support people who do that sort of crap and that is all that it is. Initially when moon brought it up, i recognized his comment fro what it was - humorous. Discussing it in any seroiuos manner in some queer little attempt to disparage him is just ********.

You may be right in your judgement here but you may be wrong as well. I would hope that all professional athletes would have some exposure to nutritionists. i'm guessing that you have been around athletes for many years and that you know that we all come in different shapes and sizes. Assuming that someone is overweight using only their height and weight as criteria is really moving down a slippery slope.
-
Who are we to judge right? I don't think that anyone watching from a distance liked what they saw with respect to that incident but I certainly know nothing about what led to it. I'm only basing what I know about Chris Sale on what he has given us since coming to Boston. To be honest with you, anyone who judges him based on that incident in a serious way is just one other person I don't really listen much to. No counters!

I for sure don't know much about how the financials work but it seems to me that whoever is responsible for the current financial rules and regulations created to create parity or what some might think is fairness in ml baseball, really blew it this time. Rich owners have absolute reasons now for not over paying anyone. It is possible that maybe the Luxury taxes etc. etc. have given them what they have wanted. A legal means to collude and keep their market costs down.
-
I couldn't agree more! I've said for quite some time now that that is one of the major things that pushed this team over the top and helped make them very special - good people!
-
You know what, after watching Sale for the past couple of years it is obvious what motivates him. He is a throwback to a different era. A true warrior and a great teammate. I hope that he gets paid but I don't think that anyone here should assume for one second that the money is as important to him as it seems to be to some others. I bet he gets it. Even at his paltry salary, it is likely that he realizes that financially he and his family and their families that come after will be just fine. He is a winner and I think that lucky for us that is a primary motivator for him.

In the post season, you need to do what ever it takes to win. if you have decent starting pitching it is highly likely that most of them are better than anything you have coming out of the pen. That is just the way it goes most of the time. Much like the presence of Martinez obviously helped a number of our guys at the plate, it is likely that Kelly was a better pitcher knowing what he had to pick him up behind him if need be. - Eovaldi - Sale - Price - Porcello - E-rod - Not too shabby.
-
As voted by the players in mlb, Chris Sale's slider is the nastiest pitch in all of baseball to hit. Losing him might give me a case of the quivers!
-
You are absolutely right that we have no idea what the next agreement might look like. You could be right that JH has boxed himself into a corner or on the other hand he might have been peeking into the old crystal ball. Something has to change and I'm betting that the change will be beneficial to the Red Sox.
-
I agree but Pablo was undeniably fat. I don't really think Devers is built like him.
-
I agree. Of course I don't follow this crap as much as you and a very few others here do, but I do think something has got to change. It may certainly look like there is collusion when it comes to a failure to sign some of the big stars in the game but the current rules and restrictions make it possible without eyebrows being raised. It just kind of looks good for owners and not so much for players. Obviously there continues to be an incredible amount of money in the game.
-
In general I agree with you oltimer but there are many instances where these guys just don't fit the mold. I have a 5'8" nephew who weighed 205 at Dever's age. he could dunk a bb and you literally could not find one ounce of fat on his body. Looks to me like he is built somewhat like a football player. He has a thick body. I think diet will be important to him moving forward but if he he works hard to maintain agility there is no reason why he won't be a fixture for us at third base.
-
Devers has a very unique build. He is not slow. There are actually times when he has looked fast.
-
I doubt seriously that any of our current starters ever wind up in a closing role until they pitch themselves out of the primary rotation. That is just the way it works. The best start. Porcello is a durable mid rotation pitcher who has great value to us. He does not throw the ball hard enough in this day and age to ever close. He does not have the deceptive delivery that Koji had.
-
Larry just throws crap out there to see what kinds of responses that he might get. Rarely does he respond to anyone who might question what he says or suggests. I suppose anyone posting is better than no one posting.
-
His strikeout rate is crazy high but I think that he needs more time. He is big and athletic and filled with raw power. He is very interesting.
-
If Chavis was traded I would not bat an eye. I would like to see them keep Dalbec.
-
I hope that the Yankees sign machado so that I can have a real reason once again to dislike them. Kimbrel is on his way. here he comes.
-
Dominant Dave - Good one notin - glad you are coming around . Whoops sorry notin. Thought you had finally gotten it right .
-
Houck still could factor in.
-
I'm going to have fun following the development of Casas and Flores. they are just kids but seem to have a great deal of potential. Groome has started to throw again as well. he is too good and too young to be giving up on just yet.
-
As I said earlier, you cannot project Eovaldi's year anymore than anyone else. It is all a guess and you know it. Red Sox fans hopefully see what he might do in a very positive light. You say he might have an injury (all of them might), I say he could also wind up being a Cy Young candidate (vey few of them can). You cannot tell.
-
Not a prediction but I will be watching Dalbec very closely. He is a young man with great potential.
