    Agree totally. But what likely wasnt right (remember his opening two dozen ABs?) was likely because the organization he came up with started jerking him around as early as spring training, then when he was raking again, they got rid of him, bad-mouthing him the entire time and disseminating rumors (with no evidence) that he was a 'bad team-mate'.

    How about a left-handed power bat who, in an off year, hits 35 HR and 115 RBIs?
  3. jad
    Yeah, too bad the RS didn't have, say, a left-handed power hitter w/ 115 RBIs and 35 HR and a proven track record against the Yankees. I mean, where do you even find guys like that?
  4. jad
    You mean, like one of the teams winning two games in a row? Yeah, I think that's possible.
  5. jad
    Stop repeating the management line. One of those supposed deadwoods had a crappy year and still hit 35 hr and 105 RBI
  6. jad
    Why not 100%? Just use ROBO umps all the time, since ROBO umps under the challenge system are unerringly correct by definition. Adding challenge drama is unnecessary, time-consuming, and irritating as hell.
  7. jad
    Except I do not agree this is better than nothing. This just adds a layer of 'administration'; sort of like saying 'we need more doctors and nurses; let's hire an insurance company.'

    I realize the Robo-Ump case has been argued ad nauseum, so I will simply vent here as MLB announces the WORST solution--one that combines all the negative aspects of human umps with all the negative aspects of Roboump. Nothing like delaying things for an idiotic 'challenge', which will lead announcers to say equally idiotic things '' GREAT challenge!" or "Do you want to use your challenge now?" Who gives a crap. If you are going to judge balls and strikes electroniclly (through the challenge) and judge umpires by how well their calls reflect the electronic call, JUST GO WITH ROBO-UMPS for God's sake.

    I felt the same way when the RS had 2nd and 3rd and 1 out in the 10th a few nights ago. Why pitch to (who was it? Eaton? Sogard?) to ANYONE? Just walk the bases loaded setting up the force at home.

    Even if you hate this team, (and I sure do--the first time I find myself actively rooting against them in the last half-century--well, maybe the second time given the Valentine year), I don't see how to deny the fact that they are 14 games over .500--way more successful than many of the teams we've loved in the past.

    Lucky to get the K given that only one of the 5 pitches was in the zone.

    Come on, man. You're expecting professional athletes to be as bad-ass tough as you are. And of course, that's just not the case.

    would you review Ferreira's c.v. above and explain, slowly and clearly so that we understand, exactly what you see there that makes her unqualified. Because I see only one detail there that might send a certain class of fans into a tizzy.

    So an Early Winn?

    Raphaela may never see a strike again. Why throw him one?
  16. jad
    Well. base-running has certainly improved.
  17. jad
    Lowe is another of those shiny objects RS GMs and fans gush over, only later to realize the team is already lousy with .220 hitters.
  18. jad
    Isn't the reason the Sox can do it on the cheap the fact that he's a .260 hitter?
  19. jad
    Umpires got it right. Wong stops and takes his mask off--he is no longer going for the ball, but trying to get back to home. So, alas, obstruction. Note that Cora did not argue it.
  20. jad
    Is this at all like the Casas injury last year? I remember his coming from a swing, but can't remember what it was.
  21. jad
    This explains (in part) why in any shot of fans, regardless of what is going on on the field, a third or so are engrossed in their cell-phones.
  22. jad
    Jesus! Since the ump themselves are graded according to how well their calls reflect whatever electronic system is used, JUST USE THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM. We don't watch baseball to determine who the best ump is.
  23. jad
    I love the in-game interviews simply because they usually go wrong. But watching Casas answer really insensitive questions with grace made me a fan. And Raphaela? Damn. Didn't seem to distract his fielding much, no?

    At about that age, I gave up my athletic career (which looked better on paper than on the field) as my weight got to 190. I stopped drinking and then got a job on a fishing boat. I lost 60 pounds that summer and have maintained that weight for the last 58 years.

    Wow. Just wow.
