    You've been saying the Sox aren't deep all year, and yet our replacement players subs and bottom of the order guys have carried us time and time again. We got 38 starts from pitchers not named Sale, Price, Porcello, ERod & Pom. 9-4 Johnson 6-6 Eovaldi (not counting the playoffs) 5-3 Velazquez 3-1 Wright Our pen was strongly bolstered by Brasier. Pen depth Relief IP/ ERA 54.2 Velazquez 2.63 41.1 Workman 3.27 38.2 Johnson 4.19 33.2 Brasier 1.60 29.2 Wright 1.52 22.1 Poyner 3,22 14.2 Walden 3.68 (All not viewed as significant pen pieces on opening day.) On the everyday side of the ledger: Let's not forget that Moreland started the year as a sub- not even a platoon player. We also picked up Pearce. Our catcher depth was fantastic on defense- all that reallymatters. Pedey was out pretty much all year. .774 Holt .744 Lin .677 Nunez .604 Kinsler (stabilized the defense) Our line-up balance might not lead the league, but they have pulled their weight. I'm glad teams keep underestimating our role players and bottom of the order hitters. JBJ, Holt and Pearce keep on producing. Now, even Vaz is hitting.

    Prepare to be stunned.

    It does show it was more about the money than a desire to play a game he loves.
  4. moonslav59
    My guess is Mookie starts one game at 2B, JBJ sits one game and Beni sits one vs a lefty. We'll have a hell of a PH'er on the bench those games.

    Brasier, Barnes, Kelly & Hembree with 22.1 IP and 2 ER. 0.81 ERA

    No love for Bill Carrigan. Never had a team with less than 91 wins in seasons 151-154 games long. World series wins in 67% of his seasons as manager.

    They would not have put a shift on Rod.

    The longest thread in the history of BDC was one I started called, "No Manny- No Rings".
  10. moonslav59
    Read the post I responded to. It was about the sick and lying Clemens.
  11. moonslav59
    It is a pitcher's park, but your point is well-taken.
  12. moonslav59
    The perfect balance.

    1. Cora 2. Tito 3. Dick Williams
  14. moonslav59
    I'm fine with whatever Cora chooses to do. I doubt anyone sits all 3 games. Yes, losing Betts' defense would hurt, but so would losing JBJ's. It's hard to see any choice as being clear.
  15. moonslav59
    Unbelievable.
  16. moonslav59
    I have no issues with the shift. I do have issues with players who fail to adjust or even try to adjust. I think, over time, players will learn ways to beat the shift, and maybe change the way they are defensed. Plus, they used a shift on Ted Williams, so it's not like it's brand new.
  17. moonslav59
    2,000 innings plus hours and hours of practice at 2B plus pre-season games.
  18. moonslav59
    I'm glad Cora convinced DD to pull the plug.
  19. moonslav59
    To me, Cora is easily top 3 in Sox history, and I voted for him as the best ever.
  20. moonslav59
    Anybody know how to set up a poll for a new thread? I see the poll box to check on the starting anew thread page, but I don't see how it works.

    It was pretty well documented. Although he never admitted to having sex with a 15 year old, he never denied he had a close relationship with her behind his wife's back. He's a liar. He's a cheat. He's scum. (And by the way, he lives in my town, Sugar Land, TX. People here all seem to think he's dirt.)
  22. moonslav59
    I totally agree. Because he never threw his bat down in disgust or jawed with an ump, many took that to mean he didn't care. He worked very hard at improving his hitting. He took it seriously. At times, he did things to show he cared about his teammates. He sat out the last day of the season to make sure Mueller won the batting title, and he was the only player willing to step up and let Youk know he was going over board and needed to settle down.
  23. moonslav59
    I loved his quiet serious hitting approach. He always remained calm in the box. He also spent a long time in the batting cage. He played the game to have fun, and for that, many ridiculed him. I get how there was much more to ridicule him over, and much of it was warranted, but the guy was a kid in a man's body, and it was so enjoyable watching him play for us.

    The taking advantage of an underage girl didn't bother you either?
  25. moonslav59
    Let's just go with 4 OF'ers. Our 3bmen only make half the plays hit their way anyways! (Joking, of course.)
