    I love Brock Holt, just a gamer who always seemed under rated. Not saying he is a starter on a championship team but you need glue guys like this. How fun has this first half been? I can't ever remember watching a team where I just expect them to break open a close game and win going away like this team continues to do night after night.

    Having grown up at a time when the NL was dominant and we all rooted for the AL (I was crushed when Amos Otis' throw didn't get to Fosse before Pete Rose did) I still watch because I remember when it was a big deal. It's no longer a big deal but it's still fun to watch the best. Besides I have a secret, I really enjoy watching Judge throw a baseball with an effortless move that looks like a lob into 2nd but is traveling 100 MPH.

    Both of these are speculation, we don't know if the players dealt for Kimbrell woiuld have been enough to get Sale. I was one of the few in favor of this trade at the time, I'm a firm believer that you need an established closer to win in October and history has shown that with a few exceptions. As for Thornburg he is needed for sure. I'm not sure what his role will be but every title team we've had seemed to always have guys to come in with 2 on and 1 out in the 5th or 6th and shut it all down. Bullpen depth is critical in the post season.

    So happy for JBJ, to get above .200 so quickly is remarkable. So are we back to being worried when Joe Kelly enters the game? Not me, not yet.

    Sorry if this has been discussed but what exactly are the outs in this contract? During the O's telecast Jim Palmar said it was a long term deal but I am aware there are outs. Can we keep him long term? I mean if this season continues he will want an even bigger deal.

    Just saw where the Sox opponents are hitting .228 on the season. That's really impressive.
  8. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Yep the bottom is finally turning around, good to see JBJ's hard hit balls finally finding the grass. Vaz has really turned his season around and has been hitting well for a month. Hard to understand why he only has 3 HRs because when he hit's 'em they are no doubters.

    Yeah I get that. But Lordy I was seeing empty seats for day games that was astonishing, I mean it looked like a crowd of hundreds. At first I thought maybe it was the 17th inning but then I saw it again, and a field that looked like utter crap. So sad.
  10. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Totally off topic but I watch that weekly MLB highlight show of the top 50 plays. Several times they showed Reds day games with nothing but empty seats. Last night they showed a field that makes my old high school field look like Augusta National. What happened to this once proud franchise? The Big Red Machine was the greatest team of my lifetime.

    Thanks for the comment on the back, fortunately it's not a chronic problem like so many have. Which is strange as I'm tall, a golfer, 59 and have crappy posture which all lead to back problems. As for this post you are correct they are similar but the edge goes to Devers. As I said he showed last year that he can hit at this level, Moncada has yet to do that. And he's older. No I like Devers right now.

    A bad back required muscle relaxers and that put me out early last night, at the time the Sox were down 10-6. I was shocked when I saw the final score, I'm now in the process of seeing how that happened. I'll be damned, Blake actually got a hit.
  13. Yaz Fan Since 67
    It's early in both careers but to date at least Devers has shown the ability to be productive ML hitter, something Moncada has yet to prove. I can't say I'm unhappy about that, I sure don't want Moncada to turn into Jeff Bagwell

    I'll ask again, is there any update on Pedroia? Or is this a lost cause at this point?
  15. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Boy it was very disappointing to lose that game last night given the pitching match ups.
  16. Yaz Fan Since 67
    It's also called the Cy Young award based on his 511 wins. It should be called the Walter Johnson Award.
  17. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Whenever I look at the opposing pitcher I look at ERA first, then WHIP, then move on to K/W. I don't pay much attention to wins/losses. But at the end of the year W/L record is a measuring stick for pictures, well starters anyway fair or not. A 20 win season is still a 20 win season and it's significant. So it sucks that Sale's numbers do not reflect his performance.

    While I can see the reasoning I too was asking at the time WTF was Scott doing in the game at that particular situation. First game since being called up? That's crazy. Managers are still sticking with the lefty vs lefty strategy but don't the advanced stats say go with the best picture regardless of which arm he uses?
  19. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Very happy to come out of Seattle with a spit.
  20. Yaz Fan Since 67
    He seemed to be having success going the other way but for some reason he seems to have gotten away from that.
  21. Yaz Fan Since 67
    The farm system is depleted, not the time to deal for a rental.
  22. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Not only did I question Kimbrel in Game 2 I almost lost my schitt when I saw him getting up in the bullpen the next game, after throwing 53 pitches the previous 2 nights. Cora was going to him again. Against the Baltimore Orioles. In June. That's just crazy.

    Did you notice how well he has pitched since someone came up with this name? Maybe we should start creating names for Devers and JBJ.
  25. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Just as we were discussing a few days ago this was inevitable and the others at the bottom need to pick up the slack. I like the lineup last night, i think that's their best 8 right now.
