  1. lol. he must get murdered in the poker games on the team flights. he has no poker face.
  2. LETS GO SOX! (the red ones) SP: Clay Buchholz (31, RHP, 0-3, 6.51) v SP: Carlos Rodon (23, LHP, 1-3, 4.33) Date: Wednesday, May 4, 2016 Start Time: 7:10ct (local), 8:10et Venue: U.S. Cellular Field Series: Game #2 of a 3-game series Average Temp: 63° (based on last ten years)
  3. yup 6.5. he signed a 2 year / $13MM deal.
  4. JBj is special with the glove. you know my thoughts on him...he could get 1 seeing eye grounder every 10 AB's and i am keeping him as my starting CFer. His defense is that good. Young? i dont think so.
  5. Pitchers - Porcello everyone else - HanRam. his defense has been (dare i say it) GG worthy. his offense approach is excellent. his baserunning is hustle. he runs hard out of the box everytime trying to pressure the defense.
  6. i said all things being equal. i did not say play rusney over young if young was actually playing halfway decent baseball. he's 4 years younger and we have much more invested in him. those are 2 reasons to play 1 guy over another "all performance related things being equal". if it's so easy to find a 4th OF platoon guy then DD seems to have done a terrible job this past offseason. because he seems to have overpaid for 2 years of a terrible 4th OF platoon guy. who did we outbid for those 2 years @ 13MM? who do you recommend we get for 4th OF platoon guy if not Rusney?
  7. Agree. HR's = "ooohs & ahhhhs". Pitching = Parades.
  8. i have not seen 1 inning of pawsox baseball so i cannot debate whether or not Rusney looks poor this year. i have seen every inning of Boston's season so far and can debate that Young has looked absolutely dreadful at the plate. i guess my thought process is all things being equal i will go with the younger guy that we have more $$$ invested in.
  9. completely agree. his value is as a catcher. he shouldnt play 1 single inning of LF. we currently do not have a "hole" on the MLB roster for a catcher. Vaz and Han are doing fine. let Swihart get defense/game calling experience daily in AAA. his focus should be 100% on that.
  10. +2 points for "murdered multiple worms". he very well may never be the answer for LF in Boston. but i would rather see him being given the opportunity then Chris Young.
  11. so just so i know. 72 PA's is enough to confirm? (obviously 4 is not). and i dont think name calling is necessary? is a .265 hitter considered "not hit MLB pitching?"
  12. Hi Roy. GTCU.
  13. dads are having their HS kids get TJS when they dont even need it because they come back throwing harder to get that scholarship $$$. no longer the steroids era...the surgery era.
  14. He's a .265 hitter in the minors. and a .268 hitter in the Majors. not great but not terrible. if you want to look at sss and his .234 minor league numbers so far this year? then lets look at his sss Major League numbers this year .500. young sucks. was a terrible signing. let's see if DD "man's up" like he so easily does with previous GM signings......
  15. DD gave him 13MM reasons to be on the roster. let's see if DD is as cutthroat with his own $$$ signing mistakes as he is with Cherries mistakes (the butterball/Castillo).
  16. yup. he should buy his 1-9 batters a steak dinner as well. they have gotten him off the hook a couple/few times already this season.
  17. this was my thinking last night as well. plus if Taz is gonna spit the bit, might as well be when we are down 1 then up 1 late in the game.
  18. GAME 26 - JBj JBj: 1-3 JE: 0-4 Score: JBj: 14 JE: 7 Tie: 5
  19. Wright needs to find the strike zone though.
  20. Yup. JBj absolutely smoked the first pitch he saw. Great play.
  21. Ok. Time for hits
  22. agree 100%. Thank you. this is exactly the kind of response i was looking for when i started this thread.
  23. the only person that should be fired for Young is DD. he overpaid for the guy by a grip. based on Max showing how few lefties we have faced JF had to put young in against RHP. i have now decided that to try and blame Farrel for Young is just....wrong.
  24. Hopefully that "heart of a lion" translates to a sub 6 ERA for our $31MM man very soon? i'll take the heart of a tree frog if it comes with an ERA of ~ 3.
