You love it despite it being remarkably stupid and ignoring basic fundamentals and strategy? Or did you love it because the Sox really hadn't learned enough yet about Laureano's arm strength and accuracy?
-
Unless they were unaware the full extent of any injury. See Clement, Matt... -
Yes, we were all shocked the Academy ignored him there...
-
I think I’d settle for some fundamentals at this point....
-
Holt drove in more runs with that walk than the Sox scored in the first two games of this series combined...
-
True, but what’s the actual benefit of keeping him? Toronto didn’t release him because they thought he would stay healthy and become even a shadow of his former self. The Yankees got their money’s worth. They gambled and won (slightly). Time to move on and let some other team have a chance to put him on the IL...

The only real acting he did was “Natural Born Killers.” Even in Caddyshack, he was basically doing his stand up persona with the insults directed outward instead of inward...
-
Because with the amount of injuries the Yankees currently have, it’s only a matter of time (days? hours? minutes?) before the 40-man roster spot he occupies is more valuable than he is. Don’t you think Toronto released him for a similar reason?

Boone?

Speaking as an engineer, no one respects an IE...

Ellington is probably an apt comparison. The interesting facet might be that former shortstop Guerra might have a chance down the road to become a closer, since for some reason, is a role failed shortstops seem to succeed in, including Trevor Hoffman, Rafael Betancourt, and Joe Nathan...

A more relevant example might be Matt Clement, who destroyed his shoulder during his first All Star season in Boston, pitched through the pain, but was never the same afterwards. Some have attributed his downfall to taking a line drive off the head. But by then his decline, while slow, appeared to have already started. In fact, his next starts after the line drive were actually better than the ones before it. Reportedly, an off-season evaluation of his shoulder revealed damage was far beyond what he should have been pitching through. But Clement, line drive and all, somehow managed 32 starts for the Sox that year. Clement started 12 ineffective games for Boston the next season, and then never pitched in MLB again...

In an unrelated story, the Yankees have announced that during practice, the team will only use whiffleball bats and Nerf balls...

Including his inevitable buyout, Tulowitzki will be paid $24mill this season, all but $555,000 from the Blue Jays. So for 5 games of 162, Tulowitzki earned $741,000, or more than the Yankees paid him. They got their money’s worth. Time to call it a moral victory and cut bait...
-
I’m a tad hesitant to compare one bullpen session from Javier Guerra to Sudden Sam, who was a six time All Star whose career put him in the top ten for career K/9 and fewest H/9 and had one no-hitter to his credit...
-
Yeah I’m not a big participant in them. Guess my point is proven. It’s amazing to me that, according to the ever reliable Internet, the only people who don’t know how to manage an MLB team are the MLB managers...

Only when not playing with his drones...

By letting them examine him?
-
Luck actually had a really good season in 2016, including a career high in Y/A and his second best QBR. The real mismanagement of Luck came in 2017 when they kept teasing the world with a comeback they knew was never coming....

Except Logan Morrison, who lets it all out on Twitter...

It’s easier to learn control than to learn to throw 100mph. Throwing 100mph all over the place already makes him Brian Ellington...

You can find people complaining about most managers on any forum regardless of heir success. At some point, people here might even complain about Cora. I’ve seen posters complain about Francona/Francoma during the World Series...

In the Off Season - Should we consider Trading Mookie Betts?
notin replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
They’ve given out ONE. The Sox do have a longer and more significant history, along with the Yankees, Dodgers, and Giants and more recently the Cubs. Certainly some unforeseen teams will get in on the bidding, but I think we all expect Boston to be heavily involved... -
Then death is too good for him...

Missed what was said. I assume it was deleted and don’t need a recap. I will say the tendency to attribute all trolling to Pike on BDC was probably a bit hasty and presumptuous. Sure it could have always been him, but there is whole world full of whack jobs out there...
