  1. Whoever has the best overall record.
  2. He was a singles hitting speed guy who knew his limitations. He hit a grand total of 7 homers in his 11 year career (2 of those with Boston) and none in his last 6 seasons. I wonder if any were inside the park.
  3. and then compounding it by just laying down and not allowing the batter to replace you at second?
  4. Disagree, I don’t see that as a mental error; that’s a physical one. A mental error is throwing to the wrong base or a pitcher failing to cover first on a right side grounder.
  5. Smoak up. He’s killed us over the years in these situations. They really needed to turn that DP.
  6. They score for him. His stats aren’t that great but they score when he’s pitching.
  7. Crash Davis would have said it needed a stewardess.
  8. You were expecting a shutout? Solo homers don’t usually hurt too much. It’s four bases and the pitcher starts clean. Spread those same 4 bases over 4 singles and you have a run in and the bases loaded or 2 runs in and still 2 guys on.
  9. Smoak is one of the slowest guys in the league but still ...
  10. If it’s an ERod start, it must be raining.
  11. Beni may or may not have peaked; it’s way too early to know. I don’t think he’s going to be a superstar, but there’s no reason to think he won’t be a decent major leaguer.
  12. Nah. For one thing, he’s 33. For another, he’s a career .247 hitter, and that includes this year’s .300+.
  13. Sogard is a great lead off guy. His ABs remind me of Boggs.
  14. Overall across all of MLB: 2019 4.82 runs per game .252/.322/.433/.756 slashline ERA 4.48 2018 4.48 runs per game .248/.318/.409/.728 slashline ERA 4.14 Interestingly, this year looks a bit like 2017 2017 4.65 rums per game .255/.324/.426/.750 slashline ERA 4.35
  15. If I could figure out how to get that thumbs up emoji to work here ...
  16. I agree with the old 2nd baseman. The ST approach might explain April; it has nothing to do with now.
  17. You’re doing a lousy SwihartsGhost imitation.
  18. You know you really are turning into a clown poster. Right now I’m trying to decide who’s worse, you or d-money. Either way, bye-bye.
  19. No they won’t, unless there is a total collapse or a fire sale. For whatever reason the Jays have played the Sox tough but not so much the rest of the league.
  20. I like this Sogards kid. He knows his limitations and has a great approach.
  21. Personally, I like having Hernandez up with the big club. He could and should learn and improve. Ditto Taylor. Guys like Velazquez and Brasier are what they are and have reached their low ceilings.
  22. You aren’t going to get one for just Beni and it’s obvious DD has been instructed to stay under the salary cap level; that makes it very difficult to do.
