Yeah, because Pineda had blown out his shoulder when he made this thread. Definitely saw that one coming.
-
I've criticized your argument (which you've been making verbatim), many times before. You aren't saying anything new. I don't care if people think I am a Yankee fan. If they get off on rooting for this large corporation over that large corporation, good for them. If one in particular riles their jimmies, that's OK, too. I'm not interested in that part of the sport.
-
I have on numerous occasions. You've chosen to ignore it.
-
lol there it is again. 8 > 1. We are 8 X better than last year!
-
Notice how there is no attempt to refute the point.
-
In the first post of this thread, I predicted the Red Sox will win the World Series, yet I'm a Yankee fan because I think the loss of a backup catcher is not that big a deal. Another senior moment?
-
Your estimate of 1.5-2 WAR loss for 150 LHP PA's from Ross was completely made up, and exaggerated. Besides, even if it were true that losing a backup catcher was worth 2 wins, what was the margin of victory in the AL East last year? It would have made no difference. Hanrahan and Bailey were both awful in 2013, so their loss was a positive. That means he's going to make a seamless transition. After all, he hit .321 in AA ball, so he's going to hit .300 as a 20 year old rookie in MLB. Steamer - .261 Oliver - .269 ZIPS - .271 Keep your expectations lower. Also, if I'm making "enemies" on a baseball forum, that says more about you. You care too much about a game to let it affect you this much.
-
A lot of hitters love Fenway, that doesn't make him more than a 1/1.5 WAR DH.
-
You just made this up. Hanrahan was nowhere near the quality of Robertson, and as good as Miller was he still was a 7th/8th inning option. Not a big loss. Xander won't. His point was that Middlebrooks sucked, but they found a better option anyway.
-
Saying that the Red Sox depth isn't bad, because the Yankees depth is bad refutes absolutely nothing.
-
He's better in LF, and they have no young talent to take that position away from Gardner anyway. I like it. It's a good contract.
-
Not surprised to see you making a bad point. You want to be a literalist and assert that 2%, instead of 0% of things went wrong, go ahead, but it seems like a giant waste of time.
-
Yeah, losing your backup catcher, and injuries paving the way for an all-time best season from a closer is just awful luck.
-
Cruz sucks
-
5-0, Finland. USA definitely didn't care to allow a 43-year-old to score two goals.
-
That's if the USA even bothers to show up for that game. f*** bronze. I'd come down with a hamstring injury before the game. EDIT* Haha, bronze costs $.33 an ounce. I'd rather buy a pound of it, and make my own medal than play in that game.
-
Probably expecting that to be a Gold Medal game.
-
Haha, I loved that the urgent proof that he had starts with "Once Upon a Time." If he included pictures and pop-ups maybe it would have saved him from the banhammer.
-
Yeah, I was hoping for a rematch in the final. Should be a great game tomorrow.
-
Did he get permabanned?
-
USA women one-upped the Bruins by conceding three instead of two.
-
Major league deal. 1/2.25. Great deal for the Red Sox.
-
Epic collapse by the USA women's team.
-
Call it whatever you want. I'm not interested in a semantics argument. He has flaws, draft pick compensation attached to him, and no known suitors. If he's holding out for something, he'll be on the market until June. Seriously, look at the incumbent SS's for all MLB teams and tell me where he would be a fit.
-
Besides 2004, what is your favorite Red Sox memory?
rjortiz replied to Spitball's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
It's impossible to say what would happen for sure, but given the results of the other players, Pedro most likely pushes us over the top in the AL East. That series against NY on the final weekend is probably irrelevant. We would have been able to set up our rotation for a home series against the Angels. Pedro, Schilling, and Wakefield/Arroyo/Wells is more than good enough to beat them in a series. More often than not, we probably don't win the World Series, but that's true of any MLB playoff. The important point is that we would have had a better chance with a legitimate ace at the top of the rotation.
