  1. And it’s the kind of stuff that drives dannycater nuts
  2. Hawkeye Wayne and BJ Surhoff. For all you M*A*S*H fans. Apparently Hawkeye Hamilton Wayne is the real name of a former Mariners’ farmhand and not a nickname...
  3. Lol I did exactly the same thing (assumed a joke post was serious) on something said my Maxbialystock a few days back. It happens. He called himself out on it. It’s over...
  4. He already blasted himself. Given the resurgence of this thread it was understandable all the way around...
  5. Swihart can. Plus I’m not overwhelmingly dazzled by the ability of a catcher to play other positions over the primary job of catching...
  6. Yeah that’s a head scratcher, to be kind. Both Pearce and Swihart have 2b experience (although very little from Swihart). And Nunez is still alive, right? I don’t get why Vazquez gets the nod at 2b here. Was it a choice between him and Price or something? I think I’d even give Porcello the start at 2b over Vazquez. I don’t see why not Nunez at 2b, Swihart catching, and Pearce or Travis in LF. Or Vazquez catching, Nunez at 2b, and Swihart in LF...
  7. Also, Lourdes Gurriel was demoted today. Gurriel was all over the place in two games against Boston, going 3 for 6 with a steal of home. Against everyone else, however, he was 4 for 33 (.121)
  8. If we can do great pairings, how about Al Laurel and JJ Hardy?
  9. Mr. and Mrs. Jimenez clearly dropped the ball...
  10. One pitcher.
  11. By his logic, the Sox shouldn’t start any catchers at all...
  12. That’s actually not what that paragraph says. Not even close. Is there some sort of super caps I can use that makes the point?
  13. The guy bats 8th or 9th. He isn’t there to hit. His offense is a bonus...
  14. Not sure why this isn’t sinking in. QUIT BRINGING UP OTHER TEAMS!!MANY (all?) PASSED ON LEON BECAUSE THEY HAVE BETTER CATCHERS!! NO ONE IS SAYING LEON IS ANY SORT OF HIDDEN GEM OR ALL STAR IN THE MAKING!! THE NOTION IS LEON IS BETTER THAN VAZQUEZ OR SWIHART!!! THAT’S IT!!! LEON IS NOT THE BEST CATCHER BUT HE MIGHT BE THE BEST SOX CATCHER!! The pitching staff agreed with this. Are you saying you know more about catchers than the Sox pitching staff?
  15. So you think the offense is being held by the guy who hits 8th or 9th?
  16. How would we label scandals if the DNC had elected to stay at a Red Roof Inn?
  17. Hey!! Those bigger dogs are scary!! If I don’t keep them at bay, you’ll be sorry!! Also, I hate squirrels!
  18. Unless he helps a pitcher throw a little better. Sale is having issues no catcher will solve. But what about Eovaldi?
  19. I think he got promoted to Clutchie Four Bags...
  20. Without doing math, I bet better than .105...
  21. It looked to me like the Sox made a concerted effort to keep all three. Had they DFAd Swihart, at minimum wage, he is less likely to clear waivers than the pricier Leon. Of course, allegedly DD made an effort to trade one of these 3 and found no takers. At least not for whatever his price was...
  22. Which leads me to Bizarre Stats Dept #2 Bogaerts, Bradley, Nunez, Holt, Vazquez, and Swihart are a combined 8 for 76 (.105) with runners on base. Not scoring position, just on base. Devers, in contrast, is 9 for 23 (.391) with runners on base, despite getting 0 RBI the first 12 games...
  23. Bizarre Stats Dept. In 3 of the Sox 4 wins this year, they took the lead in the ninth inning. In the 4th win, they took the lead in the 7th...
  24. They’re 4-9 now. If they lose the next 6, time for a fire sale?
