His dumb-ass notions of "the right way" and "professionalism" is wearing. So having a pitcher throw at a guy because he swings the bad is 'professional'? Then, as if in a middle-school sports story, Nunez' getting a hit the next time up is 'the right way'? i.e., if he had grounded out, it would have been 'the wrong way'? -
Exactly what "message" does that send?? Next time, you better hit the ball?
-
I think the rule-makers assume that a fluke thumb injury is probably less serious than, say, a concussion or broken leg. I love the rule. But then, that may be because I'm not a big fan of pointless injuries or Pete-Rose-style cheap shots.
-
Is a .230 hitter what the Sox need right now? Not sure I see the point unless, as you suggest, that they think JBJ's injury is bad. I thought what was reported today was that there was no break or tear. (OK. Just explained on NESN--FO had been looking at him for a couple of weeks.)
-
I thought this was the internet. Now you're saying ordinary rules of civil behavior apply?? I'm shocked! What a world! What a world!
-
There once was a pitcher named Fister They got a home run Said 'This game is done!" After nine they could not have been pissed-er.
-
Yeah, that Nunez 0-13 slump is really a matter of concern. I'm quite proud to have pointed it out.
-
Just reviewing the "Fister sucks" posts of the first inning ...
-
Sounds like "no." As did his immediate reaction after touching home.
-
How did JBJ get his hand in there? ("Oh, I see! It's a perfect throw. Catcher is in perfect position. Gosh, maybe if I just reach over the glove then slap down on the plate while my body is flying by ...")
-
Ha. I was just about to add "or about Nunez being 0-13"? Then I thought I'd wait one more pitch before posting.
-
Saw him play in Portland and I thought his defense was outstanding! I was surprised at the "line" on him when he came up. Btw-- he's now 0 for his last 11 with 6 Ks. Is that a matter of concern to anyone?

The throw itself wasn't the problem; after the double-clutch, he had no chance. (Maybe you coaches can explain: it looked to me that Devers was set up for a force play-- is the idea to keep your foot on the bag so that you know where to make the tag? I don't think he had a chance of making any kind of tag in that position.) -
0-3 last night. Clearly a mistake bringing him up and ruining his career. Should have traded him when his stock was high for a veteran middle reliever.
-
Exactly. Because the decision is not yours. Players (somewhat astonishingly!), as well as their agents, have a say in this. And unless you negotiate a salary cap with them (which is unlikely) you're going to have to pay what the market will bear. Such a bad deal for the poor owners! who can't just pocket the millions those star-players bring them. I imagine in the end, the very extravagance of the salaries is in and of itself 'good for business' as lots of fans want to see how the 100 million dollar guy actually plays.
-
OK. Then let's go back to facts: you think in a workplace, you are entitled to throw f-bombs publicly at other members of your organization (or those related to the organization) as long as you are being paid enough? I don't. We disagree, that's all.
-
Do you really think so? That the amount of money an employee gets paid entitles them to privileges less well paid employees do not enjoy? So you would tolerate, say, sexist or racist crap in a MLB clubhouse because it is "unlike the regular workforce"?
-
What was the count on Dave Roberts a few years back?
-
Price isn't 'whiny'; he's a belligerent a-hole, who gathered a bunch of other a-hole team-mates to publicly berate a 65 year old hall of famer. THAT'S what most fans don't like about him. It's the kind of unprofessional behavior that wouldn't be tolerated in any work-place that most of us have had to deal with.
-
I'm sure I couldn't even see one of those pitches. Nor could I hit a golf ball out of Fenway. But, given Chapman's mental breakdown, I'm pretty sure, even at more than 3x Devers' age, I could have made third on that play.
-
Yeah, since he went down, (or went back to sulk in his tent, giving his armor to his good buddy Erod), the RS have been in a nose-dive. No way they can win without him.
-
Wow. I expected to see some enthusiasm here after checking the box. Instead, all I see are people complaining about to what particular degree everyone sucks! In any case, seeing the "we-have-the-best-fans-we-play-baseball-the-right-way" Cardinals implode and lose on an error after their manager is ejected for acting like a child is very fulfilling. Now their fans can go back to their rich, culturally advanced lives in that s***-hole state of theirs.
-
I love it when a fan (or anyone) argues about the 'rational way' for their opponents to proceed. The thing about your enemies? they don't think the way you do. That's why they are opponents or enemies.
-
Ha ha! We have a GREAT player whom we think is overpaid. I've got an idea. Let's trade him for another overpriced, injury prone player and a bunch of mediocre or even minor league players who are also being overpaid.
-
Has JBJ gotten back into the grove again? The same one Holt finds himself in (who seems not to have fully recovered from the concussion).
