Crash: I'm too old for this s***. Why the hell am I back in A ball? Skip: 'Cause of Ebby Calvin LaLoosh. Big club's got a hundred grand in him. Larry: He's got a million dollar arm, and a five cent head. Skip: Had a gun on him tonight. The last five pitched he threw were faster that the first five, He has the best young arm I've seen in 30 years. You've been around. You're smart, professional. We want you to mature the kid. We want you to room with him on the road, stay on his case all year. He could go all the way. Crash: Where can I go? Skip: You can keep going to the ballpark, and keep getting paid to do it. Beats the hell out of working at Sears. Larry: Sears sucks, Crash. I worked there once, sold old lady Kenmore. Nasty. Skip: And who cares if it's the Carolina League. It's a chance to play every day. Crash: You don't want a ballplayer; you want a stable pony. Skip: Nah. Crash: Well, my triple-A contract gets bought out so I can hold some flavor-of-the-month's dick in the bus leagues, is that it? Well, f*** this f***ing game! [pause] I quit, all right? I f***ing quit. [Crash exits the office and stands in the clubhouse for a minute before sticking his head back through the door] Crash: Who we play tomorrow? Skip: Winston-Salem. Batting practice at 11:30.

those are really lame nicknames. heres my guess... 2 scoops = calling him fat 5 cents = calling him dumb

agreed. but it is up to the manager to make the final decision. i would imagine Sale wanted to go for 21 last night too. Cora stomped that. the correct move.

Because: i dont have issue with the pen.

this Sale guy is pretty good. it looked like a Pedro start at the Fens with the K squad up on the wall.

he may have boxed himself into a corner earlier this season when he basically stated that beni will be the leadoff hitter and he isnt going to flip flop him and betts. IMO that was a stupid comment for Cora to make. Beni - i noted this in ST - he got fat in the offseason. he is slower in the field and he looks slower at the plate. he is also a very streaky hitter. he basically does mini versions of JBj. looks terrible for a handful of games and then tears the cover off the ball for a few games and then goes back to missing badly. if i were Cora i would seriously consider making X-bo my leadoff hitter and dropping Beni in the lineup.

thats just......insane.

Sale looked great. i 100% agree with Cora pulling him after 7. JF wrecked him 2 years ago when he let him get the 300K's. i was surprised Workman didnt throw a CB with the 2 strikes but even Eck was saying FB so what do i know. the bats were quiet but i would expect that on a 40F night. we need some warm weather. tough L to swallow but time to move on. the sun is finally out today. lets get back to winning.

Time to hit

Fudge

Need to wiggle out of this

Lol. Well played.

i love how all yankees fans cant type Red Sox or Sox....its always Sawx. its a dead giveaway on trolls.... I would do this trade in a heartbeat if JH is willing to pay the tax.

you want to have a "bobby bonilla day" for the next 30 years? i dont. i'll take the hit for the next 2 seasons and be done with him.

yup. we got kids in HS that only know Red Sox as the hammer and yankees as the nail.... the "suffering" is long since over.

nothing posted yet.

i will turn the big 5-0 the end of this year.

see #919

are we betting on 40 or 50? split the difference - 45?

MM is hot right now tho. hard to sit him.

oh, i wasnt referring about his ALCS. i am referring to my forever statement that pitching + defense = parades. hitting is fun but very rarely does it equate to a parade. i will take his elite defense over an average fielder that can rake. IMO.

not sarcastic at all. everytime he makes a good catch and they show it from the hitters angle from contact. he takes the correct first step immediately on contact. every single time. use tonights game and i am sure you will see a few different times where you can see his first step on contact on some replays.

this one is easy. parade vs not a parade

dont take this personally - but are you really a Red Sox fan? you post in just about every GT so i think you are a Sox fan but based on the content of your actual posts it makes me doubt that.

the "observer" looking at every play is kind of silly. JBj is the best defensive CF in MLB right now. JBj is easily the best defensive CF the Boston Red Sox have ever had. just watch his first step on contact - on contact- every single play.
