At the game? Pah! These are probably two 11-year-old trolls--one posting from Peoria, the other from Anchorage.
-
It's hardly a sign of character to suffer humiliation and make both you and your employer miserable by "doing the right thing" and going to the minors where nobody wants you. I'm glad SF signed him, and I hope he makes it back to the Bigs.
-
Oh I agree with that. But the worst case would have been 1st and 3rd with one out. Once he got half way down the line, what the hey!
-
That's not what the Toronto announcers said. They were adamant that Young had committed and needed to keep going.
-
Nice baserunning! (Is there a Dale Berra Baserunning Award?)
-
Release Hanley! Get Frazier! Sox need power, since no one on the present team can go deep.
-
Maybe Jack Clark is still available.
-
I have difficulty following collective narratives that advocate giving up on players with All-Star credentials while seeing a .210 hitter as the team's salvation. But then, I have been a RS fan since the 50s and none of this should come as a surprise.
-
I just don't get it. Why would the RS pay millions to acquire a guy who's having a bad year, hitting close to the Mendoza line, and whose only effect would be to keep Devers in the minors another year?
-
Which way?
-
I can't believe all you young whippersnappers haven't heard of illegal streaming of all sports events.
-
Didn't Mookie run through the stop sign? DFA Betts!
-
It must be a lot easier to pitch on the ML level when your opponent's best hitter is willing to swing at pitches a foot outside.
-
OK. I'll bite. Define "current credible projections."
-
He's made a lot of plays that refute that. (That was not one of them.)
-
Belt high fastballs with a two-strike count are not good put-away pitches.
-
When you're struggling for hitting, I'm not sure the best move is to take a guy who just came up, hit nearly .300 with the 2nd best OBP on the team, and send him down to make room for a .150 hitting utility player.

07/16- Sox vs. Yankees game 2

I'm not sure the Avatar gives you a lot of standing for lecturing others on racism. -
Maybe. But I don't think one HR every 45 innings is going to change much.
-
Any of the guys they have already. No .210 hitters needed at this point.
-
Well, you know. I mean, Lin doesn't ... you know ... "fit in". Like, I mean, this IS Boston, after all ...
-
Just saw him play in AA last week. His swing looks odd to me (although 4-4 ain't bad!), but his defense was spectacular. Sadly, Lin is probably not going to get a fair shot.
-
Now let's not get carried away! It's not as if Gary Geiger and Sammy White, or perhaps Gene Stephens (in there for defense, of course), or Don Buddin himself could have come in and saved the day!
-
Ah yes. Those big, dumb, right-handed .210 hitters -- something the RedSox have never been able to resist. (Let's see: Jack CLark, even Ray Boone, and who can forget Johnny Gomes? I'd add Dick Stuart, but that guy actually hit pretty well for them. And Mike Cameron didn't have the distinguishing features of most of the others, i.e., being white.)
-
Terrible at-bats in extra innings. Wild hacking. No discipline. The guy who seemed to have the best at-bats was Lin, who came close to winning it on the line drive to right.
