    Oh yes. Hitting, pitching, but especially defense and baserunning. It's all coming together now.
  2. jad
    Clearly, Holt should have been bunting, instead of swinging away. Then Betts could have stolen third.
  3. jad
    No worries. Even if Buch gets hit, the RS defense will doubtless bail him out.

    I missed the 12th inning. Even before that, it was one of the most amateurishly played and coached game I've ever seen. Tie game, slugfest, late--have your best hitter bunt. 1 out, runner on second, same situation--steal. Wait, how many outs? ... But a hit batsman, error, and stealing home (I assume that was a screwed up routine double steal?) in ONE inning?
  5. jad
    Maybe Ortiz can bunt now as well.
  6. jad
    Ah yes. Bunt. Because why would you want one of the best hitters on the team to swing the bat? No problem, because the steal sealed the deal.

    It's hard to believe that his strikeout ratio is the same as it's been through his career. He seems to have been on a tear these last two weeks.

    Napoli continues to show the consistency that has been his trademark.
  9. jad
    Bad, undisciplined fielding (not just incompetent, as in LF), and an innings worth of pitches in the middle of the strike zone. This mess is really unfixable.

    I'm told, (I wouldn't know!), that "vipbox" (e.g., vipbox.biz/baseball/ ....) will get you a decent stream with all sports. I'm also told (I wouldn't know) that there are a number of pop-up ads that may take you a while to figure out how to close efficiently.

    Good thing Ben blew up that pitching staff last year to make way for this one.
  12. jad
    Well, at least Napoli is a team guy and realizes the most effective way he can help is to stay out of the game.

    It was obvious to everyone after pitch 1 that De Anza cannot bunt. Why does the manager not know that? And having learned it, why does he continue to insist on him trying? Or is winning the game a small thing in comparison to the value of the moral we all learn, which is that everyone should learn to bunt?
  14. jad
    I don't disagree with you, but the mere fact that this argument is reasonable shows the extent of the RS blunder. Just when will that day be? After his bloated RS contract is up and he's a free agent??
  15. jad
    With that payroll their target was "above .500"? That makes no sense. A record like that would have been a reasonable goal at half what they's paying for this dismal season.
  16. jad
    Delay? What's up?
  17. jad
    Oh right. Of course. We must have misplaced our list of approved topics.
  18. jad
    The plight of Oakland does not refute the principles of Moneyball, since there is nothing in the book to say that these principles can make up for more than a 2x difference in payroll. It's going to be difficult to compete with a team that spends more than twice what you do no matter how foolishly that team may use its resources (and of course, there are teams that do not spend wisely--shocking as of course this may seem to contributors on this board!)

    Nava sits against lefties for about $40million less than these two.
  20. jad
    Maybe. But why would anyone assume they took the care required to vet cheap players like this, when they obviously didn't bother on the expensive ones they acquired over the winter?
  21. jad
    Only the famous play last year where, after misplaying a ball, he refused to hustle after it because (employing the logic of Ray Lewis, I suppose) it might hurt his street cred.
  22. jad
    Thanks. SBF was beginning to give being an old fart a bad name.
  23. jad
    Because selling off their pitching staff last year worked out so well?
  24. jad
    Alas, even a single-header for the RS this season is a long long day.
  25. jad
    Exactly. The only anomaly in the last four years is the WS win.
