    Yes, don't bop a drunk co-ed.

    So, it's a big game for the haters. I'm not expecting a great game from Price, and if he struggles, it won't change my expectations. What I'll be looking for is how he feels during and after the game, especially 1-3 days afterwards.

    Would you really characterize this game as must win?

    We probably all have a few skeletons or significant regrets. Most of mine involve inaction not wrong actions.
  9. moonslav59
    Yes, and I believe O'Sullivan was like 8th or 9th on the depth list that year. I'm almost always for adding pitching. I differ from some by hardly ever wanting us to upgrade our 5th our 6th starter. I usually want us to upgrade from the top 2-3 slots only. Then, everyone else gets knocked down 1 notch. This winter was different. Our budget was so tight that I felt there was no money for a top 3 slot pitcher. I wasn't against signing vets to minor league deals, but I wasn't upset we started the season with basically just 3 legitimate staters on the depth chart and one (Wright) inactive for a month. I felt Velazquez and Johnson needed to get a look, and if both failed, and Pom and Wright were not back by then, we could then go out and find a journeyman pitcher at a pro-rated salary cost.
  10. moonslav59
    They'll probably get another chance. Besides, has anyone said Price is ready to start? I'm happy Pom will be back soon. I was happy ERod came back. He looked real good in his second start.
  11. moonslav59
    If we need to save a little money, we could trade Holt, assuming there's a taker. If not, I think we will just send him to AAA, in case someone gets hurt. Yes, Nunez can play a lot of positions. 2B 3B LF (If we sit JBJ or Betts, Nunez can play LF and others are shifted around) SS That's 6 positions. If Cora really wants to sit players a lot, then I can see Nunez playing 4 or 5 games out of 6. He can easily get 500-600 PAs, even if nobody else gets hurt from here on out.
  12. moonslav59
    They all mixed it in with their tobacco.
  13. moonslav59
    Makes you wonder, if Lin is some sort of superman. .802 career MLB OPS in 80 PAs. .627 AAA (162 PAs) .635 AA (789 PAs) Of course, the small sample size explains it, but he looks like he has a nice swing.
  14. moonslav59
    I doubt Lin can sustain his hitting, but it sure has been nice.
  15. moonslav59
    Nunez is a better OF choice than Holt or Lin, and we also have JMart, Swihart and Moreland who can play LF, so Holt's ability to play the OF is not a big factor.
  16. moonslav59
    No, but I doubt anyone was offering Moreland anything close to what the Sox offered. The JMart situation is a little more murky. I doubt anyone came near the HRam and Pablo offers. The Price signing may have had competition.
  17. moonslav59
    This place cracks me up!
  18. moonslav59
    I would, too, but I'm not sure how much a month (or even longer) long hot or cold streak really affects a player's value.

We're 23rd in HRs, but nobody seems to care about that anymore.
  20. moonslav59
    True, especially with the Sox continually bidding only against itself.
  21. moonslav59
    I lived in Milwaukee during the Lombardi era. The Packers won 5 championships in 7 years (5 before the Super Bowl).
  22. moonslav59
    Betts, too, especially in the spacious RF of Fenway.
  23. moonslav59
    I know! 13-2 and Pom, Pedey, Bogey, Wright, Poyner, Thornburg and others joining the 25 man roster soon or at some point.
  24. moonslav59
    True, but sometimes surgery actually makes you better than you were before the surgery.
  25. moonslav59
    They will make a difference over the next 147 games. We are bound to hit a rough patch or two before the season is over. Hopefully, the infusion of these players coming off the DL will help minimize our future losses.
