Very good post Roy. The offense was going to be better this year, even without the additions of Cora and JD. That said, I believe that Cora's more aggressive philosophy at the plate is part of the improvement. Farrell doesn't deserve a lot of the criticism that he received. That said, it does appear that Farrell was perhaps putting some undue stress on the players by focusing too much on their daily numbers. I think last year's group was trying too hard. Cora seems to have the players behind him 100%. I liked his signing from the get go.

You said it. Time for some payback.
-
That's true, but he's the Yankees 8th or 9th pitcher on their totem pole. He did his job for the Yankees, under an extreme amount of pressure. He deserves some credit.

Give me some credit Moon. I understand what regression means. It's almost like I posted something very similar before about coin flips. Oh wait, I did. I am not talking about a slide to the point of evening things out. I am talking about the Mariners' slide in the division race, which was completely expected.

You guys are just talking crazy now.
-
From when he reaches free agency? Yikes, that makes me shudder. Beyond just the years, the $35 million AAV makes me shudder as well.
-
I think most Red Sox fans would take the chance on Mookie, and I can understand why they feel that way. I think the most I would go is an 8 year extension from now, meaning 6 years from when he becomes a free agent. And even that is more than I'd prefer.
-
One of my favorite moments is when Mookie was positioned almost in CF with Mauer (I believe) was at bat. The amount of open space in right field was crazy. Mauer hit the ball right at Mookie. He literally did not have to move. Then Mookie takes out his cheat card and starts waving it around. Good stuff.

Not buying it.
-
I'm glad you got to see a good game and a win. It stinks going to a game where your team loses.
-
I don't remember seeing it either. It was fun to see.
-
I really don't think it was a lack of fire and desire as much as it was the guys just weren't having fun like they are this year. I don't think they ever lacked the desire. Either way, those of you who were saying that there were problems with Farrell appear to be right.

Oldtimer is a class act, indeed. And one of the best posters here.
-
Kimbrel is no Koji.
-
It wasn't pretty, and way more tense than it should have been after 2 quick outs, but I'll take it. Yeah baby! Go for the sweep and the kill tomorrow!
-
LOL I've noticed it does that if you're watching on a non television device.
-
Adams pitched pretty decently, considering. Too bad. I was really hoping we'd pound him. Regardless, Eovaldi pitched a great game which bodes well for us going down the stretch and into the playoffs.
-
LOL That line cracked me up as well.
-
Yeah, what the heck? I used to like him, but not now. LOL
-
I am very interested to see what Machado and Harper get this year, and what Mookie will eventually sign for. #longlivemathgeeks
-
Nice! I forgot about you being at that game! That is the exact type of game that I would love to see in person. Hopefully Price was taking notes. LOL

Personal opinion: Brian Johnson is ready to be our 5th starter
Kimmi replied to Dojji's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
These are all fair points. IMO, whether we like Pom or not, whether he is a better pitcher currently than Johnson or not, whether it's fair to Johnson or not, it is in the team's best interest to give Pom another start or two. If our situation were more dire in terms of current standings, I would probably say not, but I think we can afford to do so. I would keep him on a very short leash though. -
Ha! Love it!

On the topic of signing Betts to a 10 year deal, yes, he will only be 28 when said deal would begin. That is the age when players typically peak, with decline typically beginning in the early 30s and occurring rapidly after that. Mookie may be able to defy 'typical'. Then again, he might not. Look at Pujols. He put up MVP numbers until roughly the age of 30, then declined gradually for 2 years, and significantly after that. It's too big of a risk. Imagine having to deal with that contract for 5 years if Mookie follows a pattern similar to Pujols. Are 5 MVP years worth possibly also dealing with 5 years of replacement level?
