    I am just excited to see a regular season game thread! Not that I'll be participating in it during the game (LOL), but I'm ready for the season to start. Let's go! Also, boo on MLB for allowing Netflix exclusive access to tonight's only game. :) I kind of like Rafaela batting 9th also.

    Well said. Thank you.

    He is worth the risk of the extension. If you don't extend him and he ends up playing so well that he prices himself out of a future Red Sox contract, we'd be wondering why we didn't extend him when we had the chance.
  4. Kimmi
    He'd be 100 times easier to root for if he weren't a Yankee.

    I was pulling for the US to win, but I'm not unhappy that the Venezuelan team won. A WBC Championship really does seem to mean so much more to them than it would have to the USA team. So much emotion. It was nice to see. Apparently now they can also participate in the upcoming summer Olympics, which they previously hadn't qualified for. As far as Judge goes, he's very hard to root for. Thankfully, there will be no more of that. (I must add, however, that I respect Judge for the type of person that he reportedly is on and off the field.)

    The Trevor Story bandwagon is loaded and ready to go. All aboard!
  7. Kimmi
    I don't disagree, Old Red. I'd just like to see him do really well.

    Right or wrong, I'm usually of the opinion of keeping as much depth as possible, at least until you know what you have in these players. We had to give Watson a shot.

    As far as Kristian Campbell goes, I really hope he earns his way back onto the big league roster soon. I'm not sure where he'll play, and I'm certainly not hoping he gets called up due to other players being injured, but I'd really like to see him live up to the promise he showed.

    For me, how well a catcher knows and handles the pitching staff is more important than how well he can swing a bat, especially for a backup catcher. I have absolutely zero issues with Wong as our backup catcher. He can be pinch hit for in a key situation late in the game, if necessary. I always feel that if the rest of the lineup is hitting up to expectations, then we should have no problem carrying a light hitting catcher in the #8 or #9 hole. Of course, if several of our other hitters are struggling at the same time, it compounds the problem. So, the rest of the lineup will just have to hit. :)

    Woot!

    I have no issues with Wong as our backup catcher. In fact, I'm a Wong fan. However, given the options status of Wong and Thaiss, it makes sense to keep as much depth as possible and to give Thaiss a shot, at least to start the season.

    I am not in favor of the ABS challenge system, but if there ever was a case for why it is needed, the 3rd called strike on a 3-2 count last night is it. That said, a tip of the cap to Pujols and the Dominican team for their very positive attitudes shortly after the game.
  14. Kimmi
    I want USA to win it, but now that Japan and the Dominican Republic are out, I am okay with whoever wins it. I have nothing against the Japan and DR teams, but they've already won it, so let's spread the wealth around. The atmosphere in these games has been electric.

    I hadn't thought about the mercy rule and how that factors into the "lowest quotient". You're absolutely right. I just thought that runs allowed was an interesting choice. Run differential would have made more sense, IMO.
  16. Kimmi
    IMO, very good extensions. Both of them.
  17. Kimmi
    There's still a long way to go on that contract. I'm glad the Sox locked him up. There's always a risk, but IMO, the potential reward is greater.
  18. Kimmi
    1. I hope that Kyle Teel's injury is not serious. 2. One of the bright spots of last night's game for me was Weissert. At least we have that.
  19. Kimmi
    I am wondering how they decided on runs allowed being the second tie breaker.
  20. Kimmi
    They also have Logan Webb. He pitched well against Brazil. The pitch limits are so strict, though, that I don't know if he would have been able to make the start last night. I am surprised that DeRosa was not aware that the USA had not clinched. I'm not sure that it would have made any difference, but that's inexcusable.
  21. Kimmi
    I can't really disagree with any of this. I think the Sox offense will be better than some people think. You make some good points about the Yankees offense, but somehow, I think they'll find a way to score a lot of runs. They might not lead the league, but they'll still be very good.
  22. Kimmi
    It took me a while on both yours and 5GoldGloves post. But at least I got it this time. I usually don't get the references made here. LOL
  23. Kimmi
    I just want him to do well. He started off so good that we posted comments about how he looked like he belonged and how he didn't seem to get bothered by whatever the situation. And then, it quickly turned south. Also, 16 more days!
  24. Kimmi
    Good point. Thanks for pulling me back into reaility.
  25. Kimmi
    Maybe it wasn't competitive, but it was a solid offer. One can't do anything about how high another team is willing to go with its offers, and IMO, it typically isn't wise to try to match or beat an offer that is too much. Our offense isn't going to be the Yankees offense, but with our pitching staff, we should score enough runs to compete.
