He didn't play for the Sox, and that was all I was talking about. JBJ is better than Kike, if you factor in longevity.
-
I agree. I never called JBJ even the best in MLB in any given season, but he was close, some years. I do think he was a tiny bit better than Lynn, but no arguments from any that think differently.
-
I thought we reached a unanimous decision.
-
In this case, it's "NOT."
-
You're the only one talking about that guy.
-
I was actually just listening to the remastered "Uncle John's Band" earlier, today.
-
I read the part about Kike taking bad routes to the ball, but he has the quickest first step I have seen. (No, I can't prove it.) It's a close call. I was JBJ's biggest fan for many years, and I loved Lynn, too. Maybe the fact that we have not had really great defense in CF since JBJ's early and middle career is blinding me. It's just my opinion, and I respect anyone who thinks JBJ or Lynn were better. They both had larger sample sizes, for sure.
-
He's building him up for a trade.
-
I didn't mean to slight any of the guys you mentioned, but from what I saw with Kike, I think he was the best- short sample and all. Rick Miller was pretty good, too.
-
It's impossible to prove any game was lost by a bad strike/ball call, but if you really think it never has, then so be it. It's not some puritanical pursuit for perfection that drives the debate for robo umps calling ball & strikes. It's about making the game more about the players than the umps. You do know teams hold strategy meetings based on who is umping tonight's game, right? How absurd is that? Oh, and yes fans go and watch the umps, but they don't go to watch the umps.
-
Or when they let players use gloves.
-
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!
