  1. Is there a team whose entire starting 9 consists of +oWar players? We are fine with sandy and vaz as our catchers. Even with vaz’s defenive lapses under the Cora regime.
  2. Hanley staying classy by thanking redsox nation. Dude did everything Red Sox management asked of him without complaining once. He is truly someone kids should look up to and model themselves after. Best of luck to Hanley wherever he ends up next in life.
  3. If picked up off waivers? Then this was a no brainer
  4. If I don’t post a mistake in this thread that I believe he made then I agree with his decisions or at the very least understand what he was thinking. So that leaves a TON of Cora decisions that I have agreed with
  5. If he gets his 497 total this year even on another team the Sox are on the hook for next years salary.
  6. Bell streak > snell WIN.
  7. I have plenty of slack for Cora. this thread is about his decisions. thus far I have pointed out 5 of his decisions that I disagree with. apparently you agree with all of his decisions (which is your right - just like it's my right to point out what I deem poor decisions). as for the record...I don't think anyone anticipated a 17-2 start. I think many of us felt the offense would be better with JDM and rebounds from some of our current roster.
  8. will be interesting to see the lineup when pedroia comes back. I would expect hanley to be dropped in the order at that point...
  9. incorrect again max. I love hanram. in fact, if you look at the hanram thread from before the season there were a few of us that were very much oK with hanley being on our team. before the hot april. my opinion is as stated....it has nothing to do with "hate" for hanley. as I actually like the dude.....
  10. oh snap. did people get banned during this thread? gonna have to go back and read this whole thing. I didn't start watching this game until 11pm last night so avoided the GT.
  11. we have the technology now. I am unsure why so many people are against this idea? why should an "umpire" have all the "human element" of a baseball game? the technology has proven that home plate umpires on average get 13% of the balls/strikes calls wrong. 13%. that's an 87% success rate. a B grade. that is NOT ok for me when we have the ability to have this number instantly be just about 100% accurate. btw - it would also speed up the game. ROBOT UMPS NOW.
  12. Here's another Rookie Manager mistake IMO (of course). it is obvious to everyone on the planet except for Rookie Cora that HanRam is struggling big time at the plate. 1) Rookie Cora continues to bat him in front of JDM (perhaps drop him down in the lineup for a bit????) 2) Rookie Cora continue to start HanRam vs RHP when a LHB + better defensive first baseman is sitting on the bench (MM). 3) Hanleys AB's are so bad right now most managers would sit him against both RHP & LHP for a bit. 4) not only do we have an excellent option at first base (MM) to replace hanley - by allowing hanley to continue to get AB's Rookie Cora is almost guaranteeing Hanley's option vests. perhaps the reason is that Cora is intimidated by the veteran Hanley? Perhaps the reason is Hanley has a secret deal to give Cora 1/2 of his 2019 vested $$$$? whatever the case...Cora is managing this particular situation like a....Rookie Manager without a Clue.
  13. the discussion is whether or not he should be the starting CFer. the discussion is whether having a light (or non) hitting #9 batter with excellent D skills causes L's. starts matter. some people will try and tell you starts are apples. but they aren't apples. they are starts.
  14. sorry. has to be games started. FAKE NEWS!
  15. Win. Bell streakingggggg. Mr. Tingles with back 2 back excellent starts.
  16. I used to like Stephen until he went bat s*** cray
  17. 2017 with JBj starting .580 (not 571) 4 out of 5 years the Sox are better with JBj starting in CF. Actually 5 out of 6 if we include 2018....
  18. Oh...and Sox back to sole possession of first place
  19. Win. Sale with an ace performance. I am concerned with the amount of pitches he has logged so far this season. I was hoping Cora would reign that in a bit to have a fresh armed ace in sep/oct.
  20. Red Sox record with JBj starting: 26-11. .702 winning % Red Sox record without JBj starting: 7-4. .636 winning %
  21. btw - all those trying to move JDM to 3rd obviously aren't down with stats. stats say you bat your worst* hitter in the 3 hole. *of the top 6
