  1. For anyone interested - Green Monster seats go on sale at noon today.
  2. the old bird in the hand.....
  3. FYI - you can change the amount of responses you see per page via settings. this is actually only 12 pages of debate the way i have it setup....
  4. or with GM xyz who wants a particular 1 of the 3 in a trade. it could be DD will give up whichever one is asked for.....(regardless of the preference he or Cora have in who they want to keep)
  5. this just in...the 3 batter minimum is in effect for 2020....
  6. Robot players NOW!
  7. Hey CP. it's very rare for a discussion like that to be made public. really the only way to "verify" a pitcher has requested a personal catcher is to see who the manager always matches with said pitcher.
  8. so i guess we expect a SS to work "harder" to get back to 100% than a Pitcher would? too f***ing funny......
  9. but LeHahieu is in Pinstripes. he is BETTER!!!!
  10. catchers know that pitchers are more comfortable with one person over another for whatever reason. personal catchers is not a new phenomenon. Vaz is fine. and even if he wasn't...who cares. we had a parade doing it this way last year.
  11. i was reading about this last night. thanks for posting it. I like all 3. although it seems like MLB is "avoiding" the pitch clock and defensive shift issues. they also squashed the 3 batter minimum when bringing in a reliever. they should make it 2 batter.
  12. no, they are not valid to me.
  13. lol. well played.
  14. lol. pedro never fought any decision. in fact pedro is on record saying he was f***ing shocked he wasnt yanked in that game. but what is your point? we should have brought back kimbrell this year? we offered him a QO. he turned it down. what do you want to offer him? you like to bring up postseason samples...how did the leprechaun look last postseason? i would say that we had a parade in spite of CK......what would you say?
  15. if i go by the back of their playing card the OPS difference is .626 vs .678. me? i'll take less offense and Leon's defense/CERA every time over swihart and his extra basehit every few games.....
  16. fair response. but it would be the first time since i have been reading this board that you didn't list the worst case scenario involving a Boston player. and i agree with you....a fielder does not put near the strain on his arm that a pitcher does. but he does need to throw the baseball alot more. and that begs the question - since very few fielders have required TJS - what was didi doing wrong in his throwing motion? or does he just have a weak elbow? maybe he will need to move to 2b to have a shorter throw.
  17. can you list all the SS that have successfully come back from it? do you deny that if it was X-bo we were talking about you would be listing the worst case scenarios instead of best case scenarios?
  18. wait...fullstop. do you believe Leon plays "average defense"? do you believe Swihart plays "average defense"? catching defense (game calling, framing, blocking, pitcher comfort, etc) >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 extra single every 5 games..... cora feels the same as swihart got a grand total of 65 PA's as a Catcher in 2018....
  19. post of the year.
  20. with such a middle of the road bullpen it's no wonder we didn't make the postseason last year.....oh wait.....nevermind.
  21. no SP goes past 6/7 innings anymore anyways. s***, some teams are not even using SP in games. getting on base > pitch count.
  22. it's not a gimme. especially at this age he is basically a DH only so that wipes out 1/2 the league bidding on his service. his comp should be David Ortiz. 86/4 at age 32 for a DH is an overpay.
