    Youk in the booth (because you need to know that when the pitch is outside you can hit it but if it's a ball you might let it go unless you can foul it off but that's easier with one strike with two you should be selective and you can't barrel it up but maybe if it's in the zone it's easier and the good hitters like to hit good pitches but walking is good too like if it's 3-1 count you can get ball 4 which you can't do on a 2-1 so you have to consider that but some pitchers are better than others and you might hit well against them unless the sun isn't good which is also a factor but ... [repeat, with variations]) That's why I don't watch. At least during away games I can watch the local feed.

    Yup. All Bloom/Henry cared about was that he was cheaper than Bogey.
  3. jad
    But just think of how the value of the team would have plummeted had they kept Mookie and Bogey!
  4. jad
    Nope. Win games. That's what you get paid to do as athletes. I'd much rather follow a .500 team that is trying to get to .501 than a .300 team bent on losing.
  5. jad
    Yup (although his location is at times alarming!)

    Chris Sale ... is not a good pitcher.
  7. jad
    Yeah, I don't see anything in Casas I would call progress. He seems to me like a poor man's Michael Chavis
  8. jad
    I don't know. His competitor was pretty handy with the stick, no?
  9. jad
    Gosh. Who would have guessed that I have never heard of Verdugo or Turner? Thanks for straightening this out for me.

    Average attendance? dWAR? Yards After Catch? Save percentage? 3-pt. percentage? Wunderlich test?
  11. jad
    I think the problem is scheduling. Because so far, and for the rest of the year as well, the RS are scheduled to play the majority of games against teams better than they are! It's just not fair.

    Anyone who as been a sox fan since the 50s doesn't need any further conditioning.

    Isn't it like the movies? The huge salaries are part of what draws people in. And NO ONE in the audience has ever said: "Well, I would have preferred Brando or DeNiro in that role, but they're too expensive, so let's see what the kid just out of CalArts can do." The entertainment business is not run on the same principles that apply to other businesses. Look at the cash Dan Snyder gets for being a total creep while running his organization into the ground.

    Despite his experience handling balls outside of home.
  15. jad
    just good enough to keep you from folding.

    I liked Bogey. A lot. ... But since I am a fan, not a fantasy-player or a GM, I don't care what his price is.

    I spend the winter in LA. Which wasn't habitable this winter either.
  18. jad
    Ah! Right! (Yesterday was kinduv a discombobulating day.) Aren't Milwaukee and Minnesota in the same state?
  19. jad
    I guess it's my responsibility until they lose?
  20. jad
    Then you didn't listen to Joe Castiglione the other night (but what does that old school fart know about baseball!), or the fans who paid tribute to him (but who gives a cr*p about a bunch of no-account pink hats?), or Devers (who clearly knows nothing about CERA or xWAR), or the other players on the RS (who know s*** about team chemistry).

    Happy 4/20 day. Go Sox!
  22. jad
    Well, the RS pitching is back in the groove.
  23. jad
    Or maybe they started one and, instead of responding, some insensitive poster started a second one. And maybe the original poster was deeply hurt and traumatized, and now feels that his services are unappreciated and perhaps has renounced starting game threats at all because it's possible he didn't understand the conventions of starting game threads in the first place but then maybe he thinks Scr*w that! he vows to be there for 4/20 and if he doesn't get there first he'll celebrate that holiday anyway. Huh huh huh? Had you thought of that?
  24. jad
    Don't be ridiculous. Those two haven't sung together in decades.
  25. jad
    I don't understand why they're not scoring runs. Only 5 of their starters are hitting under .200. (there were six a couple of days ago, but Duran ruined that).
