Yup. Brain dead baserunning by Martinez; brain dead baserunning by Benintendi in the first inning too. -
Bowling=golf

You forgot the best team of the bunch. Although they are playing earlier (now) they have been the best team in hockey since November.
-
The point is that he should be batting around 7-8th-if he is in the lineup at all. He needs to earn a spot. Over the past year he has not done that.
-
Its not just one game. It was an entire season last year AND one game this year. Archer is not a slouch, I agree. Ramirez is a slouch.
-
I assume your post is tongue in cheek. Hanley is an insult to the Red Sox; his presence in the three hole is a joke.
-
Way to blow the game guys....oh well....on to watch a real team, the Bruins
-
Time will tell (no sarcasm alert)
-
Its too early to offer a catcher. Swihart is versatile enough to play other positions, and its still not known if he is adequate defensively or if Leon can hit the baseball.
-
Benni will never be the defensive OFer that JBJ is. My point is that if JBJ cannot hit the ball then Benni's offense will more than make up for what he lacks in defensive ability in comparison to JBJ.
-
And how many starts has he had in CF? Just asking...I haven't checked. I doubt that those CF stats are based on anything like a significant sample size. I have no doubt that given more experience out there Benny would do just fine in CF. Its not my first choice; my first choice is to give JBJ a chance to show he can hit. However, at some point you have to throw in the towel with him no matter how good he is defensively. I would give him about 3 months to produce respectable stats at the plate.
-
Really. Benny had a positive dWAR last year. He is adequate as an OF and likely a superior offensive force. If JBJ cannot hit the baseball I do not want him on the team.
-
Agreed. Gotta be able to hit the baseball. Benintendi would be a more than adequate CF if JBJ was moved.
-
I will say it again: unless we stand a very good chance to win a ring (with Ramirez raking all year) this year (NOT just making a playoff appearance), there is no way HanRam should be allowed back on the team next year. That would screw this team for years to come.
-
When he starts putting up the numbers you claim that he is capable of putting up you might regain a little credibility.
-
"If bird can stay healthy, he wins this by far. He’s a near .900 ops guy with 30hr capability. " Greg Bird career stats: OPS of .793 with a total of 20 HRs in two seasons. Wishful thinking...much??
-
We got a bag of used golf balls and cash not to exceed two dollars. Seriously, we got a "player to be named later" or cash. Despite the fact that Marrero is better than Holt defensively, he cannot hit the baseball at all. It was the right choice to choose Holt over Devin.
-
Devin Marrero just traded to Arizona for a bag of golf balls and a 50 cent gift certificate to Popeye's chicken.....I mean, a player to be named later or cash.
-
Hit on the hip, but he walked off the field with barely a limp. But the dreaded "further evaluation" was announced as well.
-
He was impressive today, wasn't he. I think he is a very good choice for a depth pitcher. With Wright out for 15 games he is going to have his chance it seems. Perhaps he will win Wright's job.....I was never much of a fan of Wright anyway. As far as Jacko's post above, I disagree that ST means nothing. It means nothing in the standings, to be sure, but guys who have excelled in ST have won jobs there.
-
I would agree with you: the Yankees have not been a great team over the last several years, and now they have reloaded and should be the favorites to win at least the ALE. That said I think that if our SP performs up to their capabilities we should be right in the chase until the very end.
-
This is what is called *potential*. Baseball history is littered with teams with great potential and teams with little potential that overperformed. Like most teams, the Yankees are an injury or two to a key player away from another second place finish (or worse). I am confident that the Sox team, as currently constructed, will be competitive all year as long as they stay relatively healthy.
-
I guess some of it depends on whether or not we are playing well enough to win a WS. If thats the case then sure, go for it this year. But if it looks like we aren't making the playoffs-or if we are just a marginal playoff team-or if we have so many injuries that contending for a ring is a long shot-then I do not allow Hanley Ramirez to become an albatross for this team next year.
