This is a fair post.
-
Thanks Ben!
-
That might be part of it, but after the first couple of weeks of baseball, rotations are no longer matched up so that the top starters necessarily face the top starters. Also, it's not always a top starter who is a victim of lack of run support.
-
How relevant or important the game is has nothing to do with my post.
-
You have my vote, but according to a few on here, girls softball doesn't count. Sorry.
-
I really don't disagree with any of this Notin. I just have a hard time believing that no team is willing to take a chance on Hanley at league minimum. I think it's very possible that Hanley is willing to sit out rather than play for a team like the Os or the Tigers.
-
He does indeed.
-
I don't have a whole lot more faith in how managers/coaches make their picks when it comes to things like this.
-
LOL That's a great take. MVP forgot to mention that he's also coaching t-ball (I believe), so Cora has nothing on him.
-
Hanley is available for league minimum. Any team in contention needing a right handed bat would take a chance on that, regardless of his lackluster performance since he's been with Boston. If no team is willing to touch him based on a false report, then that is just wrong.
-
Good stuff. So JBJ has the highest hard hit rate and one of the lowest soft hit rates in baseball, along with the unsustainable BABIP. Something has to give soon.
-
LOL Maybe that's why I like him so much. Also, I think he's hilarious.
-
If that's the case, that would be a shame. Hanley's character might be destroyed because a reporter wanted to be the first to break a story before he/she had all the facts.
-
Agree. He made the wrong decision, IMO. However, the implications that Cora doesn't know what he's doing because he's a rookie or that he can't see what seems so obvious to us, the expert fans, is out of line.
-
I'm with the majority on this, Cora should have removed Wright sooner, especially before pitching to Cruz.
-
Several things: 1. JD > Stanton 2. We could get the significant 2B upgrade that you want, and it could still be wildcard and done. 3. We don't have the resources to get the kind of significant upgrade that you're looking for. 4. No worries. As we stand right now, our team has as good a chance as winning the WS as any other team.
-
I'm not sure Kimbrel is a lock either, unless one is basing this largely on saves, which voting fans are likely to do.
-
I am on board with this.
-
Cora's approach, on the whole, seems to be working. That said, I question some of it too. There are times that I think he takes his approach about resting players a bit too far. Then again, you can't really argue with the success the team is having.
-
No thank you.
-
Not only his BABIP, but he leads MLB in hard hit balls rate for the month of June: Hard Hit Rate in June 1 66.7% Jackie Bradley 2 65.9% Christian Yelich 3 62.0% Justin Upton 5 60.0% Aaron Judge
-
JBJ has been hitting the ball hard for a while now with nothing to show for it before today. I think good things are coming for him offensively.
-
From Red Sox Stats about last night's game: The Sox were 1 for 7 with a single on hard hit balls tonight, the Mariners were 7 for 17 on weak hit balls. One of those nights. Baseball is indeed a funny game.
-
It appears that my streak of not being wrong remains intact.

"The reporting on Hanley’s involvement in this matter was reckless and irresponsible. It’s unfortunate that one careless, inaccurate story can generate such widespread negative and damaging coverage." Truer words were never spoken. I am glad to hear that Hanley is seemingly cleared of all of this. My heart would have been broken otherwise.
