AGREE 100%. e-rod is the real deal. eff Cano. Win. electric slide. repeat.

LOL...ok. then....since DD isn't allowed to ask you....let me ask. what did you mean by all this?

The primary point that I was making is that even though platooning players based on the righty lefty concept is solid, i still think that it gets over used. i want to find out if this 23 year old can hit. I am ok with a manager actually deviating from the current gold standards. Quote Originally Posted by cp176 View Post Throwing in the towel? really - not how I see it. Maybe you don't understand me so good. I think that Sam Travis might be better than what we are yarding out there daily. So let's see, you must not be in favor of playing any of these kids right? Let's leave all of these guys down on the farm to help our minor league franchises be successful. What do you think - trade a few more of them for some seasoned veterans? Quote Originally Posted by cp176 View Post ok I will temper my enthusiasm a bit but it is a move that I see as a little confusing. I won't change my thinking with respect to using him maybe what once every three or four days with some pinch hitting jobs thrown in will show. i'm sure that he is happy to be called up. my question really is why? If he has been called up to provide us with a better source of run producers then he needs the opportunity to prove himself. Playing sporadically probably will not do it. With all of that, just for the record, I'm really not a big Hanley fan and I think that Moreland ultimately gives us some depth.

thumbs something something....

true true and true. btw - is JF best friends with that slug dave obrien? jesus how many times did he call out bannister last night for his terrible managing? i may have to start watching my Sox on mute.....

good point. i retract my statement.

appears he's managing like his job depends on it....Kimbrell warming up with a 4 run lead is panicky....

our s***** pitcher is slightly better than their s***** pitcher. WIN! SWEEP! REPEAT! over/under on that slug dave obrien mentioning during tonights broadcast that X-Bo has yet to hit a HR: 7 times.

.....

does Sale get 10+ K's? over/under on that dult obrien mentioning this is 29 times....

god forbid we miss out on one of his hot streaks. he can carry a team for a week or two....

my diatribe really began when a poster stated that the current player should be benched and that Sammy should be fulltime.

right. every player not named Trout is going to have better stats one way or the other. first base offense is not a flipping problem for the Boston Red Sox. panic move. desperation move. now if we are talking 3rd base? then it makes sense. oh wait. sammy has 4 rbi in 29 AB's vs LHP. Mitch only has 6 rbi in 25 AB's vs LHP. my bad. you guys are right. i f***ed up and forgot about TalkSox math. bench Mitch. forget platooning.... let Sammy play full time.

he's had 25 AB's vs LH pitchers. what should his power numbers be?

he's had 25 AB's vs LHP. what should his power numbers be?

platoon with who? Moreland splits are pretty even. this is a terrible move by FO. or as maybe it should be called - a panic move. if they brought up devers that would have made more sense as there is actually a need at that position right now. even his parents were shocked that Sammy boy was called up right now. if that doesn't scream "panic" i dont know what does.....

so you want to sit 23rbi (near team leader) / 5hr (near team leader) / .809 ops / 0.9 WAR for a 22 year old? mmmm.kay. do i not understand good?

so you are throwing in the towel on the 2017 season to see what our "kids" have? excellent idea. let's bring them all up. the only current 25 man that should be playing everyday is benintendi (he's young enough, right?). the rest can just sit and watch because we need to see if our kids can hit.

trade him now while his stock is high!

BDR gonna bust a nut on this dudes face. WIN.

his defense is worth gold. that's why i play him every game even if he is only getting 1 single every 10 AB's.... his owar is 0.3 and dwar is 0.9.
