If Sale is comfortable having Leon catch for him, why would you get rid of him? He stays.

7/21 @ Los Angeles of Anaheim
Nick replied to Thunder's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Your are 100% right. WTF? Hitting a double and driving in a run does not excuse for STUPID, CARELESS base running. It will catch up to us. DAMN IT guys. It's not OK. -
I'm good with our starting five all getting an extra day's rest. Our success is tied to our starters. I'd hate to think where we'd be without Chris Sale. Best thing DD has done in his tenure.

Managing day to day, looking at every data available, JF has to know who is hot and cold. It should be all about the team. You are a paid professional. I don't care if I hurt your feelings. You hit .120 over 3 series, then you shouldn't expect to bat clean up. (Hard luck outs obviously are considered.) There's a big difference between unlucky streak and a slump (usually chasing balls out of strike zone contributing to K's and weak contacts). If you're in a slump, I don't want you leading off.

Rafael Devers seems unfazed by his promotion to Pawtucket, as he is now 8 for 19 with two home runs after going 1 for 4 with a two-run opposite field home run on Wednesday. What would it take to get Devers? Groome? Chavis? Houk? Oh wait.....

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

what the hell is wrong with Beni? I thought he was smart. What the hell difference does it make with 2 outs? runner on 2nd versus runner on 3rd?

No offense...Devers sits in minors......If he can't hit any better than what we go in majors right now, we might as well trade him. what a bunch of f***ing idiots. if he fails, SO f***ING WHAT? Oh wait, we'll only score a run or two?
-
Our OFFENSE sucks. We make all star pitchers out of Masterson's of the world. I doubt anyone right now is lining up to pay Betts $30M. Out of curiosity, what can we get for Betts in a trade? Give me a name. Would the Angels trade Trout heads up?

"besides THAT, how did you enjoy the show Mrs. Lincoln?"

There's a reason old school in many cases work. DH, 3B, 1B, LF, RF should be power positions. We're not getting much power from those 5 positions in combination. And you can throw me all the OPS you want at me. I don't see power. We have 'boys' built bodies going up against men. Team Building. 1) Build a starting pitching staff that can compete 1-5. We now have it (assuming everyone is healthy). 2) Button down closer. We have it. 3) Reliable bullpen. We're little thin. We could use reinforcement. 4) Score runs. There's no substitute for home runs. Knowing we have to put together walk/hit combination of 3 just to score a run puts tremendous pressure on our position players. LETS f***ING MAKE SURE DEVERS IS 100% READY WHILE THE SHIP GOES DOWN. WHAT A f***ING IDIOTS.
-
he's such an upgrade from Lin.
-
Every time I say something bad about Mookie, he comes through. Count it.
-
Maybe DD should ASK OUR PITCHERS IF THEY WANT DEVERS IN THE LINEUP. We're going to pay $30M to Betts? No position player on this team is worth more than $20M.
-
Devers can hit it out the park to all fields at any time,” Febles said. “It’s hard to find guys like that.” One veteran American League scout I spoke with Friday night thinks the hit tool is ready for the big leagues right now. “They could slot him fifth in the order and he’d carry the spot tomorrow if there was room for him up there,” the scout noted by Mark Shreve June 5, 2017 We prefer giving up prospects for a rental instead.
-
nice thrown in...lol
-
Why are we afraid to trot out Devers? Lin came up and performed better than expected. All Devers has to do is what he's been doing. IT COSTS US NOTHING TO HAVE A LOOK. NOTHING. MEANWHILE WE'RE GOING TO EXPEND MONEY AND PROSPECTS FOR A RENTAL. UNFREAKING BELIEVABLE.
-
Actually I'm right with you. Fair or unfair, I get the impression his teammates simply tolerate him. He just looks to me like a stupid baseball player. Look I've coached and I've had smart kids that were stupid inside the sport. Hell he maybe a genius off the field but just doesn't make intelligent decisions on the field.
-
Anyone but the Red Sox......this is the organization that though it was good idea to give Masterson $9.5M plus incentives. "oh well, it was a one year deal".....probably got a bonus for only wasting $9.5M as opposed to $90M.....Red Sox front office evaluation form. "How much money did you save by not giving out multiple year contracts?" I'm not ragging on you Moon. I think we think mostly alike. We appreciate value and we don't mind spending money on value. Say what you will, Price FA signing, Kimbrel trade, Sale trade, Pomeranz trade, they were all bold moves by DD. I suppose we should pen the Carson Smith/Thornburg hiccups to DD but man, I don't think there were red flags on their injuries.

I like Option A better than mine. I'm oppose to balanced, 4 division 4 teams per league. We now have 5 playoff spots. The last two spots keep several teams in contention. It creates excitement deep into baseball season. (this is in response to poster talking about adding 1 team to both leagues.)
-
He's not going to take a pay cut. He's not going to take a one year deal. Pass on him big time. You need to make choices. No f***ing way I pay $7.5M for a part time player. It's a luxury we can't afford. Not when you give $19M to guy that's getting his walking papers soon.
-
I'm pretty sure this has 0% chance of happening. But I think it's good to shake it up sometime.

How about realignment? Flip Angels and A's for Arizona and Colorado. NL West thus will become all California teams. Dodgers, Giants, Padres, A's and Angels.....minimize travel and it would create a freaking buz. Flip Mets and Washington for Toronto and Tampa Bay. AL East thus will become Sox, Yankees, Orioles, Mets and the Nats. Flip Guardians and White Sox for Cardinals and Milwaukee. NL Central becomes Chicago (2), Reds, Guardians and Pirates. Make DH mandatory. New generation of baseball fans has grown up watching DH employed starting at the high school level if not sooner. I don't want to watch pitchers hit. Essentially you are killing 2 innings out of 9 (usually pitchers are pinch hit by the 3rd time at bat) I don't even want to watch Marrero hit, why would I want to watch Price hit? Red Sox, Mets, Yankees, Nats, Orioles Brewers, Cardinals, Tigers, Royals, Twins Rockies, Rangers, Astros, Mariners, Diamondbacks Marlins, Rays, Blue Jays, Braves, Phillies Cubs, White Sox, Guardians, Reds, Pirates Dodgers, Giants, A's, Angels, Padres

I'm sure I've read somewhere that Lin has played CF. I would love to see him take the spot of Holt. Lin to me looks to be bit more athletic than Holt. Little quicker. He comes cheap and we need to make choices to lower our payroll for non essential personnel BECAUSE WE f***ED UP WITH PABLO.
