    I missed that. What happened? (Describe it as if you were a Mets fan or, say, a Rockies fan).
  2. jad
    Well, let's see. Must be a pinch runner? who then comes up to hit later? Home team then wins and does not come to bat in the 9th?
  3. jad
    Yeah, they made a huge mistake not sitting him down to teach him a lesson, as many here suggested.
  4. jad
    Well, the good news is that Giolita has almost as many outs as runs. It's a start. I thus absolve myself of all responsibility for this mix-up.
  5. jad
    I've done my part. Obviously. I will only take credit for a W. If we lose, it's ENTIRELY on Brock B.
  6. jad
    Not if you ignore my game-thread, which was the only chance the RS had!
  7. jad
    Big game against our 'natural rival', (well, as long as you recall the Boston Braves, which I THINK I do, but I'll have to ask my older brother to be sure.)
  8. jad
    Yeah, that part about a team with a 13% chance of winning the lottery actually winning the lottery once every 8 years is pretty much proof of all you say.

    WTF happened to Houck this year????
  10. jad
    At least Abreu ran to where he might field the ball. Cf. Houck.
  11. jad
    Losing is one thing, but losing like THIS? Yikes!
  12. jad
    Didn't see your comment. Clearly great minds think alike.
  13. jad
    Did Duran have a brain f*rt? Certainly he should have tagged up?
  14. jad
    Maybe if Raffy has a few more nights like last night we can hear less of the high-moral posturing demanding he "be taught a lesson."
  15. jad
    Yeah, Devers sucks as DH. Time to teach him a lesson. Keep him on the bench.
  16. jad
    Agreed. The logic of taking a guy who is not a good fielder, then expecting him to play a position he's never played before-- that sort of logic completely escapes me. If you must put RD in the field, then put him at 3rd, a position he knows how to play, and let Bregman play 1B. What? Bregman doesn't want to do that? Well then he's obviously a selfish diva and should be sent to Worcester.
  17. jad
    Exactly. We have no idea what Raffy actually said, and won't know until we have a transcription in Spanish. (And as far as the latest report of 'his teammates turning against him,' that is based on a single quotation, saying he should just keep quiet and say nothing. Hell, I'd advise him the same thing, since every time he says anything, media members and fans check the latest translation then over-read it for every nuance imaginable: it's like a bunch of dumb-ass sophomores in a comp. lit. class.

    Exactly. Breslow seems more concerned about showing what a bad-ass tough guy he is; you know, like running one of the star players he inherited out of town. And a number of would-be GMs seem to agree with him. Of course, RS fans have a long history of turning against their stars: Williams, of course; then Boggs, Clemens. And, although memories seem short, a number of 'fans' fully supported getting rid of Betts. (I assume this was because someone in authority made the decision, and for many contemporary Americans, this seems enough).
  19. jad
    They already found that position and he's good at it. But I suppose in contemporary business it's a GREAT idea to alienate your productive employers and thus devalue your investment. You can always declare victory and tank.
  20. jad
    Why the GM wants to micromanage a team and alienating one of his star players in the process is beyond me. You have a 300,000,000 investment! Take care of it. (What is most disturbing about this article is the suggestion that Breslow's prickly relationship with Raffy is due to the fact that Bloom signed him. ... I guess a general rule would be that when your GM is as much in the news as the players, something is seriously amiss).
  21. jad
    You guys are so ambitious. I'm driving 14 miles to town, and that pretty much should do it for the day.
  22. jad
    I'm told that one reason players are reluctant to do this is that the pay-scale for 1B is less than other positions.
  23. jad
    And a good team manager would answer: "You want me to try you at a position you've never played so that I can bench an good fielding .300 hitter?"

    Article says Casas has ruptured patella tendon. and is on 10-day IL. 10-day? Is that in case the diagnosis is not correct? That's like a 6-12 month recovery. no?
  25. jad
    Love Bregman's approach, Simple set-up, dead quiet when pitcher starts, completely balanced. Reminds me of Manny. It always seemed to me that the simplest swing was best (in tennis, golf, baseball. whatever). Not that it's necessarily the most effective or powerful. But when you're 'off', you can get back to the timing quickly because of the simplicity of the set-up. (And oh yes, on that last play? that's why I don't want to trade Duran for some soul-less middle reliever)
