    Apparently not in JH's opinion.

    Gee. If that's the standard corporate attitude, I wonder why the employees don't give a crap about the organization.

    Apparently the shock of the Cora news has wiped out your appreciation of irony.
  4. jad
    Bobby Valentine still available?
  5. jad
    Part of my summer near daily ritual is listening to the pre-game and I will really miss Cora's drawling and genial litany of sports cliches just as I did Francona's. But his reponse to the Houston scandal made me a fan: the players sang like canaries; Cora openly discussed the history of sign stealing in the Puerto Rico league as I recall and was the only one not to throw anyone else under the bus. He won't be out of work long.

    Even on a national broadcast (LAD vs. Chi), they are speaking of the Red Sox being extremely good at scapegoating.
  7. jad
    Glad Captain Cheap-Shot is gone as well, since any blame Cora gets should be shared with his staff. Alas, we already know the problem with this team isn't in the dugout. There's no Billy Jurges out there to save things, but there might well be a Bobby Valentine out there somewhere that could be had with a low-ball offer.

    This for all you advocates of the bunt. Now argue that it worked because it wasn't a DP.
  9. jad
    I tend to agree, but then, it could be argued that this thinking sent Betts, Devers, Bogaerts to the west coast, leaving us with Campbell, Bello, Duran, (and somehow Durbin, whose acquisition remains a mystery).

    Let's see: 3 HR per out, is ... uh ... times 27 ... 81 .... no wait, 4 runs per out is 108, minus 12 for bottom of ninth is ... wait ...

    Another game?? Oh God, do we have to?

    I predict they will announce a massive rebuild; fans will be ecstatic; they will trade/sell off/waive everyone with a contract over 10 mill; fans go wild; they will call up everyone from Worcester and Portland; fans ... fans ...; JH pockets the money.

    Trash-talking former All-Star RS player who lead two tems in several batting categories last year, when your replacement is hitting .150 seems kinda odd to me.
  15. jad
    Well, held them to a FG on their first possession, so that's good, no?
  16. jad
    Are you saying that one can only have, say, Ohtani or Judge as favorites? Otherwise, one is ....what? a bad fan? a pink hat? disloyal? (good thing you don't have kids!). But yes, I'd rather watch Bogey, Devers, Betts, Kike, Vasquez etc. than Narvaez, Durbin, and ... (who else is on this team?)
  17. jad
    For me, that's enhanced by the fact that my favorite players (most of them former RS) now play for other teams.
  18. jad
    I like it. Probably in these bizarre times, we should call it a 'reverse lottery' rewarding (strange as it may sound in pro sports) success rather than failure. Yoshi is leading the team in BA, OBP, and OPS. Until that changes, there is no reason to use him as a 'spot starter' or late inning pinch hitter. Let the guy hit, and let the other guys give some clear indication that they are better.

    No matter how inept your base-running, you can always find a defense that is even worse.
  20. jad
    It is not entertaining. All it does is turn focus from players to individual umpires-- this isn't a damn umpire contest. That's not why we watch. Use ABS and stop the fake drama--'should wwe challenge or not?'--who gives a crap? That's not a skill anyone cares about.
  21. jad
    Anyone know why Crochet was left in last night? All I saw ws the box. Did it just happen too fast to get anyone ready? Or did Crochet himself want to try to pitch out of it?
  22. jad
    I assume this is a troll post. But of course I'd rather have Verdugo thn Betts.
  23. jad
    It's not bad luck that is responsible for this season so far!
  24. jad
    Since they correct calls and even judge umpires with ABS, just use ABS, for god's sake. It's not am umpire contest.
  25. jad
    Ohtani? Abreu? Lots of MLB players are having slow starts; lots of MLB players are not having slow starts. That's how it goes. All that's clear after 9 games is that the RS suck.
