    This. He doesn't like the advanced stats because it just shows that he is living up to his name Werthless.

    I will never understand how that cutter was so unhittable. Everyone knew it was coming and what it was going to do but few could hit the damned thing.
  3. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Yeah I've been noticing, seems like he's got one hit in a week and a half. I still can't believe that play by Leon last night, how he held the ball amazes me. What didn't amaze me was JD Martinez. As the Toronto announcers were saying "you can't let him beat you" I said "yeah good luck with that" right before the 2-0 pitch that was turned around and went out in about .4 seconds.

    I had no problem with that steal attempt. It's the price you pay for being aggressive and their aggressive base running has worked far more than it has failed.

    I've been saying the same thing for months. Very disappointed DD didn't acquire a set up man. Sure Barnes has been good but that's not nearly enough. I'm not worried about Kimbrell, that was an aberration the other night. But the rest I don't trust to hold a 1 run lead in October to get to Kimbrell.

    I was thinking exactly what the announcers said, towards the end it felt like a no-hitter. That was one of the best pitching performances I've seen in a while.
  7. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Yep the JBJ slide started the whole thing. As the throw went to 3rd my first thought was he may be able to beat the throw. I mean he is the only player on the team with that kind of speed. I was really critical of him all year but man it's good to see the good JBJ again.
  8. Yaz Fan Since 67
    That really was a statement game. I mean they embarrassed the Yanks. Stealing bases at will, once with the pitcher holding the ball. Scoring on a run down, scoring on a ground ball to the first baseman with nobody covering, then banging out 19 hits, 10 for extra bases. Hell CC was throwing such crap that was fouled off, he was lucky to only give up 2 in 3. Good times last night for sure.

    Sucks we open the Yankees series with Johnson and not Chris Sale. But it's a smart move and it will help keep his innings down so I understand the precaution.
  10. Yaz Fan Since 67
    I just can't feel confident going into the post season with these set up men, I'd hate to see a historic season go down in flames because management thought they could rely on Joe Kelly and Matt Barnes being effective for 3 straight weeks.
  11. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Still waiting for a set up man to be acquired but they filled a need with 2 guys that had little chance of ever having an impact in a Red Sox uniform so I'm good.
  12. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Thanks, that's good news. Hope it continues.
  13. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Can someone give me Sale's season pitch count vs last year? Asking for obvious reasons.
  14. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Back to last night's game who was the Tiger color guy? He sounded like a monotone Bill Murray in Caddyshack.
  15. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Yeah the base running has been an issue, especially in the beginning of the year. Is it just me or do we lose most of the replay challenges? Not saying we got screwed, although that has happened, just seems we don't end up with the call often.
  16. Yaz Fan Since 67
    For the 2nd year in a row a deep starting rotation has been hurt badly by injury. Never did I imagine they would have to be considering trading prospects from a depleted farm system for a starter. I sure hope they don't do that, they already need to spend prospects on a set up man.
  17. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Nice pull on the Mickey Stanley reference, I was going to use it as well. I'm in the camp that you don't change the best defensive OF in the game. 2nd base is a hole but it's not a desperate situation.
  18. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Yeah I've always felt that was the greatest season a pitcher has had in my lifetime.
  19. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Is it just me or do baseball players appear fragile as glass? That collision is called 2nd and 8 in the NFL and both players go back to the huddle, in baseball they both leave the game.
  20. Yaz Fan Since 67
    That sounds pretty fair to me.
  21. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Are you saying you are fine going into October with Barnes and Kelly in their current roles? You think they can get through 3 rounds (plus a possible wild card game) and win a ring with that situation? Not me, that will blow up on them at some point and could derail a real chance at a title run.
  22. Yaz Fan Since 67
    So anyway the one hole on this team is a very real hole. The set up men leading to Kimbrell remain giant question marks, frankly they just aren't good enough for a deep October run and I don't see that changing.
  23. Yaz Fan Since 67
    No doubt he is the one guy they can't let get away. He just is having fun out there and it's fun to see. Of course it's always fun when you are the best player in the game, which he is right now.
  24. Yaz Fan Since 67
    What a joy it is to have a player like Mookie on our team. The night before he looked bad in his first 2 at bats, a weak pop up and a bad strike out. I remember when he stepped in for his 3rd at bat I thought "I'd bet $100 that he gets a hit this time" right before he ripped a double down the line. Then of course he got a hit his 4th trip just to remove all doubt.
  25. Yaz Fan Since 67
    So after the Mookie blast to complete one of the greatest at bats I've ever seen my wife came down to check after hearing my scream. She thought I had hurt myself somehow.
