  1. i have never visited a Yankees forum?
  2. i actually did not watch 1 inning of this game last night and i am going to delete it from my dvr before i watch it. i blame this loss on A7000.
  3. hopefully they have strong Achilles.
  4. yeah, i agree here. i dont want either of these guys banned but i will 100% call out the trolling when i see it. and both have been known to do it now and again. harmony is usually pro level and hard to spot. or not. jacksonianmarch has at least 1 straight up troll post a day, 3 semi troll posts, and 6 non troll posts. that said they both provide entertainment and contribute to legit baseball discussions. i just find it funny when the old head TS guys refuse to see jacksonianmarch trolling.
  5. thats a BINGO!
  6. 2 years ago they made a change to what is allowed for composite bats for the 12 and under kids. it's not as dangerous anymore. prior to that change the bats had unreal pop. see: Mako, Easton.
  7. what about wood bats filled with super balls?
  8. 13 games to go. ALE: NYY TB 9 WC: OAK +1 TB - CLE 1.5 BOS 9
  9. cyberdyne systems T-800.
  10. but add 150 jobs to create and maintain the robot umps! plus we can make them run on coal so we can keep the coal miners working!
  11. what if the 2nd strike is a foul ball?
  12. its a FB that is going up in the zone. its a rising FB. you can use whatever other words you want to describe it but a submarine pitcher throws a rising FB.....
  13. a submarine pitchers FB rises.
  14. "i added 30 new jobs!!!!" DJT
  15. is this us resetting this season? or are we still over with this plan? if we are under - i can be on board.
  16. so you would be OK with the Red Sox signing Mookie to a 12 year / $438MM contract?
  17. i think there is a misunderstanding about my issue with spring training. the problem for me wasnt so much the physical approach to ST but the mental approach and the perception it gave to the players. at some point i am sure i said that perhaps the Sox pitchers got injured due to improper Spring Training work. who knows. i really dont care about the injuries so much as i care about the approach to the season. the tone was set early for this team to just coast. and that is exactly what they have done. IMO.
  18. #fire&desire
  19. my guess: Cora to the players: "ok boys. since we are world champs and had to play so many more games then everyone else last season and you are fragile, delicate little flowers we are going to just go through the motions the spring. i dont want you thinking or working too hard as i need you to save everything for this october. i do not want you breaking a sweat during spring training. feel free to sleep in late, practices are not mandatory and i dont want any starters showing up to the park if the temp is above 80 degrees. since we steamrolled everyone last year winning 108 games during the regular season i expect we will just be able to ramp up after the regular season begins, throw our gloves on the field, and have 100+ wins. we have incorporated sleep pods into our Ft. Myers facility for you to take naps. please use these whenver you are feeling even the slightest bit tired."
  20. if we are not resetting this offseason i agree with all your points. 100%. i *think* JH is going to reset though. but he has proven me wrong before.....
  21. ahhhhh....ok. so you saw the "Fire & Desire" this season?? like you i watch every inning of every game. let me know which games you saw that F&D? the lackadaisical approach started day 1 of ST and has not been snuffed out. IMO.
  22. yup. i'm familiar with your position on this. it was directed towards Gale who always expects JH to spend top dollar on every position so i am wondering how much of his money/years he is willing to offer Betts. with the BP and SP upgrades that Gale is always demanding i am wondering what he envisions for annual payroll for the team. i believe if we add up all his demands/expectations for our major league team it would be close to a $400MM payroll.
  23. We? hell no. John Henry? absolutely. there is a number that he is willing to go to that maximizes his investment/revenue. i guarantee you he will not go past that number. these guys are billionaires for a reason. not taking a profit is not one of the reasons. ever.
  24. so what are you offering Mookie Betts to get him to stay long term? what is your offer?
