That was worse than the Sox 1/2 game fiasco.
-
Huh? I never listen to announcers. I turn down the sound and put the Dead on.
-
That was just downright silly.
-
Yes, he was one of the first to hit 30-30 (with the Brewers) and led the league is SBs for the Sox- not a common occurence.
-
It all went downhill when they put lights in ballparks.

Best news in a while... ARod likely out on Sunday Night Baseball [bhttps://fansided.com/2021/10/23/mlb-rumors-alex-rodriguez-sunday-night-baseball/?a_aid=41091&fbclid=IwAR2UCnpK4yDaJjLRhPNJBWZ9YmgieeAaw9EspCsvDxBcREnJGoGpywIxgrc[/b]

Luis Aparicio was one of my favorites, and he's one reason I am highly biased against average to below average defensive SSs. That was the first season I started watching the Sox, since my family had just moved to Maine. That winter, the Sox traded for my favorite player from Milwaukee, Tommy Harper, and I started rooting for the Sox.

I hear things like, "The media keeps claiming only a couple players addressed the issue, when many talked at length about it." Whoop-dee-freakin'- doo! These guys cheated, and no players got any penalties. So many Astros players had massive career years, including Marwin. They could have had their titled stripped from them, and they are crying, "even kids are screaming out horrible things about our players!" Playing the victim is truly getting way out of hand. You are right.

...and that's why we need a defensive 4B Of'er. JD plays DH, except in NL parks. Schwarber plays some 1B and DH, when JD rests. When either is in the OF, we could use a late inning defensive replacement. I admit, a roster spot might be better used elsewhere, but I'd rather have a defensive 4/5th OF'er than an offensive one. That's my point.
-
It's always been nice getting your input and comments.
-
I was going on the assumption we bring Schwarber back and JD plays some OF at NL parks. Our 4th OF'er should never start a game.
-
It still bothers me, almost 40 years later.
-
Meh. Our 4th OF'er should only be used on defense. Look what Cordero, Santana and Duran did for us in the OF- not to mention Marwin. Keep Bloom away from signing our 4th OF'er.
-
Robo ball girls (with "enahanced" features) would be great!
-
You are so radical!
-
Harsh on harmonious harmony.
-
I could see Rosario and Potts being DFA'd to make room for Rule 5 protectees and FAs, but Rosario could make a nice defensive 4th OF'er. Something we need more than an offensive one.
-
I doubt other GMs value Duran that highly, but who knows? I hope we don't make a trade for a 1 year pitcher. I know Montas has 2, but I'm not sure about the others you mentioned.
-
I've always wanted Kike in CF. It's too bad he dropped that fly ball the day I called him the best defensive CF I've seen for the Sox. He's also very good at 2B, and counting on Arroyo to play just 81 games might be too much to ask, so I guess Kike at 2B is a consideration. I'm not sure Verdugo and Renfroe would be happy about a RF platoon, but if Schwarber plays some 1B (vs maybe half the RHPs), and Verdugo plays some CF when Kike plays 2B, maybe the two would get enough playing time to keep everyone happy. Out of every 10 games LF: 7 Schwarber/ 3 Verdugo CF: 6 Kike/ 4 Verdugo RF: 8-9 Renfroe/ 1-2 Verdugo 1B: 7 Dalbec/ 3 Schwarber 2B: 6 Arroyo/ 4 Kike If Schwarber DHs 1 out of 10 games, then Renfroe & Verdugo can each play 9 of 10.

10/22 ALCS Game 6 @ Astros
moonslav59 replied to Thunder's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
The Super Bowl also changed the way people viewed football, and it took a while to catch on. (My Pack won the first 2 and are still the only team to have 5 championships in a 7 year period: 1961-1967. They also had another stretch of 3 straight: 1929-1931 and stretched that to 4 out of 8 and 5 out of 11 years.) -
So, 2 SP'ers (FA, QO or trade), Schwarber and a trade for RP'er, maybe involving Duran and DHern. Sounds plausible.
-
Just enough to make it closer to 2/3 than 1/2. LOL!
-
I agree. I seriously doubt we sign someone like Shaw to platoon with Dalbec. I think we wait it out and hope he doesn't have such a bad slow start to 2022. Like MVP, I would not count on Casas anytime before May or even June/July.
-
He was good in August, too. (4 of 6 months is 67%) Plus, I just used the "first half- second half" numbers based off the ALL Star Game. Ottavino actually did well up to July 21st. .559 OPS Against/ 2.54 ERA. That was the team's 96th game or 59% of the season, which is just barely closer to 2/3 than 1/2. After July 21, he did this: 8 games: 1.011 OPS Against 8 games .500 OPS Against 2 games 1.700 OPS Against 4 games .231 OPS Against Last 5 gms .1.738 OPS Against Just about every RP'er can be broken down this way to show that just a handful or two bad games skew their numbers, but this seems rather extreme. Ottavino was pretty good over his first 42 games, then had 2 good stretches of 8 and 4 games sandwiched around 3 bad stretches of 8, 2 and 5 games of horrendous outings.
-
I could see Schwarber playing 1B vs some tough righties (Dalbec sits) and LF all the other games. (Verdugo to CF/Kike to 2B or Verdugo to RF vs some RHPs as Renfroe sits)
