    Susan waldman is talking about “nice long strokes” now.
  2. Emp9
    :rolleyes:Maybe they’re just giving Velazquez extra rest?
  3. Emp9
    Lol

    That can’t be right. But but but they have the best BP in the league.
  5. Emp9
    And Workman didn’t look that great either.
  6. Emp9
    Yeah Pom starts are like our bullpen games
  7. Emp9
    Yeah no. Been there, done that.

    And that folks.. is whats called protection. Theres no way the Jays wanted to face JD with the bases loaded, thus Moreland got a nice pitch to hit. It doesn’t happen all the time, but thats what that was.

    Holt watching the first pitch middle-middle go by. Did he not get the ST memo?
  10. Emp9
    Maybe a gentleman’s agreement? I won’t challenge the play at 2B, you don’t walk arguably the best hitter in baseball.
  11. Emp9
    Better draft position?
  12. Emp9
    That’s a good question.
  13. Emp9
    Lol

    Guess I’m a Ben hater too then. And a Theo hater, if a few criticisms here and there are all I need to fit the criteria. Worst part is, DD has been quietly winning me over every season little by little, but that still doesn’t mean I’m going to stop criticizing him.

    Oh, you mean that “Posse of Hate” I’ve been hearing so much about? Glad to be here! Thanks for having me! Lol:rolleyes:

    Naw, the earlier play to Torres was a Buckner-like gaff. Beni walk-off hit was pretty unreachable.
  17. Emp9
    And don’t forget Tampa Bay
  18. Emp9
    No, it’s not hate, it’s simply a criticism. One of the few as far as I can tell.

    Sure, I’d put guys like Beni and Bogaerts on a lower tier compared to JD and Betts on this subject. It’s also about being able to take the pitches you’re getting and putting them in play instead of auto striking out.

    I think its the type of offense though that we’ve seen lately. Homerun or bust. One of the reasons why I think this Red Sox team is better than the rest is having guys like JD, Betts and Beni who use the whole field. Sure, they hit their fair share of HRs but thats not all they can do. Just like MLB has tried to limit mound visits or challenges, I could see them limiting how many times a team could implement a shift, or along with that, create a shift pool (for lack of better term) that before every game teams pick only a few select player the could use one shift against per player. It could create more strategy if they do it right.
  21. Emp9
    Will we ever see MLB make most if not all these shifts illegal defense?
  22. Emp9
    And here I was hoping for a split earlier last week.
  23. Emp9
    So instead of 5 MVP type seasons and 5 replacement level, it’s kinda like 7 MVP type seasons, two very good seasons, and 5 RL seasons. I’m not holding you to those numbers by any means. I know you just threw them out there theoretically.
  24. Emp9
    Yup, Bird should’ve made that play regardless if that throw takes a bounce. It was on target. It hit in his glove fcs. It’s been a frustrating season for our young Devers, but no I wouldn’t make that trade.
