Well, if he is in front of Shaw, we will never see Travis...

When will David Price Return to the Hill?
notin replied to a700hitter's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
But is hearing the harsh realities necessary to having a winning attitude? This isn't about whether Eck was right or wrong. Your supposition was that Price was a poison to the team's winning attitude. While Price might be a very unpleasant human being, is he really so toxic? Is he an issue at all? The Sox have been immensely successful since he arrived. Is that a coincidence? Would the Sox, coming off back to back last place finishes, been the same, better, or worse without him? That last part is obviously subjective and conjecture. But do you see where I'm going here? -
Farrell tried to do it, but Sale cut up his own cleats...

When will David Price Return to the Hill?
notin replied to a700hitter's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
At some point. for whatever reason, the fact that a posse joined in with him might be interpreted that Eck is not all that wildly popular among Sox players. You might get the nicest impression about him on NESN, but do you ever wonder why that posse joined in once Eck was off camera? I don't know any of those answers either. But I do think the question needs to be asked. I do disagree that Price is cultivating a culture that is "not in line with a winning attitude", as you put it. The Sox have won the AL East twice in two seasons since he got here and are off to a terrific start this year. What is it about this team that doesn't scream "winning attitude"? Is it all the winning? -

I was in one in London once. A classmate and I staged one where we loudly argued over which nuclear physicist made more significant contributions to the field. We upended a yelled at each other about Lawrence vs. Rutherford, upended a table, which spilled some drinks and broke the glasses, and quickly ran like Hell out of there (laughing the whole way). Ah, drunken geek humor....

I'd like to see Hanley's contract rewritten to state that if Hanley gets 497 plate appearances, Price opts out...

That's not so bad if you can fool Jessica Alba...

Once healthy, Pedroia will play. Lin will get demoted. There will be injuries. Lin will return. It's a good problem to have....

Fewest wins for a Cy Young pitcher is 2 (Eric Gagne, 2003). Plenty of pitchers have on the award with fewer than 10 wins. All of them have been closers. For a starting pitcher, the fewest wins is 13 (Felix Hernandez, 2010)...

Morrison also has a fairly less productive track record. One season only gets you so far...

Yeah why would we want a hitter like that in our lineup?

C'mon, accountant!!!! You can do better!!! Kelly was suspended for 117% of his games of while Austin lost only 50% of his!! Beung serious, the 5 game suspension for a position player and 6 game suspension for a pitcher are pretty standard...

And of course that is how it will play out, which is very common when players do not land on the DL. I think watching any punk player slide like that in a game when his team is leading makes it even worse. But then this is one of many reasons I will never be tapped top be an MLB manager. ..

I think they are going to have to ley Kimbrel walk. Look what Wade Davis got this year. Undoubtedly that is Kimbrel's floor. The remaining closers on the market are certainly less exciting, but even if the Sox downgrade to Cody Allen or Kelvin Herrera, it won't make this team any worse. I'd rather see Pomeranz back in the rotation and AJ Ramos closing games than Kimbrel closing and Steven Wright or Brian Johnson in the rotation...
-
I hope they drill Austin again, and I rarely advocate for head-hunting. Maybe it's because he's a Yankee or maybe because its too early in the season for those type of slide. Maybe both. Next time I hope Barnes does it, since losing him for 6 games seems like even less of a penalty. If Barnes gets it together, have Hembree drill Austin....

And Bogaerts is on pace to injure 14 ankles, if paces mean anything right now...

It is certainly possible for a team to win a post-season series without every player hitting. ...

After a week and a half, 18 players in MLB with qualified plate appearances have a lower OPS than Bradley, including Anthony Rizzo, Francisco Linor, Evan Longoria, and Gary Sanchez. I think we can agree this is nothing more than a slow start and all of these players will get their hitting up to or close to their expected level....

HanRam is also on pace the play against the Rays and Marlins 128 times....

This is a pitching/defense team. If they get swept in the playoffs again, the sole reason is unlikely to be due to a poor offensive showing from their GG-caliber defender who bats ninth..

While his career numbers are certainly not enticing, Benintendi's OPS vs LHP this year is based on 11 plate appearances (8 ABs). I'd be very hesitant to make any judgments on that sample or take away his opportunities to develop that skill...

The Alex Cora Managerial Decision Thread

Yet you still argue physics with engineers?
