  1. i never stated there was anything wrong with it. it was simply in response to post 511 & 524.
  2. it's the script. the failure of 1 of the first 2 prevents the 3rd from happening. or if we stack on runs in the 8th or 9th. or obviously if we are getting blown out (L). Game 72: Kelly 7th, Barnes 8th (spits the bit) Game 71: Sale + blowout Game 70: L Game 69: kelly 7th, Barnes 8th (spits the bit bailed out by scott), kimbrell 9th Game 68: L Game 67: Kelly 7th, Barnes 8th, Kimbrell 9th Game 66: Sale complete game Game 65: Kelly 7th, Barnes 8th, tacked on runs blowout win with kimbrell warming in the pen for 9th Game 64: Kelly unavailable, barnes unavailable, kimbrell 9th Game 63: Kelly 7th, Scott 8th (sox down by a run - scored in bottom of 8th to tie), Kimbrell 9th, barnes extra innings Game 62: L Game 61: Sale, blowout W, Barnes 8th Game 60: Kelly 7th, Barnes 8th, Kimbrell 9th Game 59: L Game 58: L Game 57: Kelly 7th, Barnes 8th, Kimbrell 9th going to lunch now...will continue this later if you still need "evidence".....
  3. kelly 7th barnes 8th kimbrell 9th it's the script. also, why hasn't betts & X-bo been flip-flopped in the lineup yet?
  4. He seems to be a good guy. his teammates appear to really like him. i have never heard him say anything negative or throw a tantrum. he does alot of behind the scenes community stuff. no matter where he ends up playing - i will be rooting for Panda to play well.
  5. you may very well be right. that's one of the fun things about baseball. i dont think we will ever find out though. looks like DD is moving on from Panda.
  6. yup. seems like DD has started the process of permanently removing Panda from the team. trade or Rafi? that is the question.
  7. Apologies to everyone i offended by putting Pedroia on my "hate" list and putting Panda on my "meh" list. Once Panda throws a teammate under the bus for the world to see i promise i will drop him down to join Pedey on the "hate" list. actually with factoring in their baseball acumen i could possibly move Panda all the way down to "Despise". In case i forget to do it - please remind me to do it once Panda acts like a little bitch and throws a teammate under the bus. thanks.
  8. is this DD or Slasher9? "Third base has been one area I think we still need a spot to kind of see how Pablo plays through this," Slasher9 said. "Starting in spring training, he did very well for us. We were very excited. And I think you also have to remember that Pablo has done everything that we asked him to do. He got himself in shape, he's worked very hard. He's continued to work hard. He's worked on the dietary aspect of it. He's worked on the skill aspect of it. "I think sometimes you have to give guys an opportunity before you just jump to the conclusions right away. And we'll continue to monitor his situation. It's up to him to do well and we'll see what takes place."
  9. i believe given the opportunity to be an everyday player that panda would have positive WAR and certainly do better than now while he is part timing with fill in the blank utility player. i believe he just needs a week or two of 3-4 AB's everyday to get rolling. i believe his defense is adequate enough that it won't matter if its rutledge or him on D.
  10. one of my alltime favorite players is oil can boyd. so performance and value are definitely not the end all be all when it comes to slasher's players.
  11. i think the problem is that the teams were warned after the pedroia beaning. and that was the last game of the series. something tells me that whenver we play the Astros next someone is going to get drilled. and that something is called "baseball".....
  12. this 1 million percent. this was a shaky move by JF.
  13. so if every team in the majors (except the Red Sox of course) have all 8 position players with positive WAR that would be some serious alternative facts right there....
  14. it's 21 AB's. he gets a base knock his next two AB's vs a lefty or his BABIP isn't .188 and suddenly it's not so drastic. i'm asking for rutt to sit the pine the next 5 weeks. i'm not asking to bench mike schmidt for those 5 weeks.
  15. we can call him "dirt dog". he's a white.
  16. FJ is you are asking me who the better ballplayer is i will answer pedroia without hesitation. i was answering the topic of the thread.
  17. good player has nothing to do with this thread or the question the OP asked.
  18. you can platoon every position then. carry 16 fielders.
  19. 2017 rutledge vs Lefties: .208 / .375 / .615 panda vs Lefties: .188 BABIP!!!!!!!!!!
  20. fixed that. that is exactly what they should do.
  21. good stuff. so 3 teams out of 30 have 8 position players above replacement level. so, yeah, i think it's OK that our 3B is "below avg".
  22. MVP pretty much summed it up. without Ortiz keeping him in check apparently Pedroia is a real DB. at least that is my perception this year. Panda has had his role severely diminished and has not said one negative peep to the press/social media. nothing negative has even "leaked" from his agent or "unnammed sources". that impresses me.
  23. i'm not opposed to this. but if it's done, we have to be ALL IN. he needs to play everyday. not platoon. and if this is done, Panda needs to be gone. so that means DFA and eat his entire salary or trade him and eat his entire salary.
