On the contrary, maybe Athletics would have won more games had he batted 3rd.....not about the player.....it's about the team
-
yep, that sounded stupid....hey I'm just a rookie here
-
I would like for Xander to be our #3 hitter but I think Betts is better there. Psychologically powerful maybe, but there's nothing worse than having a guy hit a lead off homer in the 1st inning. It's a guranteed 1 run hit.
-
Ultimately if Price's performance does not improve next year, then Henry will be a hard sell on any long term mega deals that's in player's favor (ie if I do good, I can get out, if I do bad, well you are the dummy for giving me all this cash) and the player is past his prime. I rather live with Shaws of the world than waste freaking $90M on a fat ass.
-
They need to go over the scouting report that okayed his signing. The guy should be fired.....was Ben pushing it?
-
Yes you called it......It's just so amazing how relaxed he looks on the mound. Price, no so much. He takes lots of big breath between pitches. Looks little fragile too. Is he getting enough to eat? Or is it hard to break $10,000 bill at restaurants?
-
Are you freaking nuts? You are going to bat our .400 hitter 9th again next year? jk....I wanted to say that...
-
I think I saw an article stating Red Sox #9 hitters, adjusting for pitchers in inter league games, has the best offensive stats and it's not even close. Matter of fact, our #9 spot is beating our #5 spot. Go figure. Hell call up Moncada and let him bat 9th.
-
Xander to me is a singles hitter. Yes he'll hit doubles in Fenway. To me he's a #2 guy. Good speed and can go to right.
-
I was a Tokyo Giants fan until Summer of 1967 when I arrived in US. I guess I could have been a Cardinals fan but I think the Red Sox got better of me. Rico Petrocelli was my guy from get go. Funny that your boyhood team stays the same until you die.
-
I asked it before but why not go with your best athlete? To me that was E Rod. S Wright I would have never considered. Bullpen was needed. All we had left were starting pitchers. This is just an unforgivable sin from my perspective. You tell your million dollar baby we're playing station to station baseball. Don't take a big lead. Don't get doubled up (make sure the ball is on the ground), only then you proceed to third base. It's elementary.
-
It definitely won't be Hill. He's a FA. Unless he pulls miracles in the playoffs this year.
-
POS vs RHP/vs LHP 3B: Moncada 1B: Shaw/Ram DH: Pablo/Young Moon I'm good with this.... Spend money on pitching staff....Can we entice Ziegler to leave his Arizona home and family to come pitch for Boston? (And we are at this point because we gave Benintendi a look instead of sending him off to AAA. Moncada in the next player we need to have a look at. they are clearly cut above. Can't treat every player the same.)
-
You have Betts (MVP candidate) Bradley (best defensive CF) and Benintendi and you want to muck the issue by introducing Swihart and Moncada to the mix?
-
Love watching a pitcher that can throw strikes.
-
Keep it simple. Solve the problem. LF will no longer be a problem. Make Moncada at 3B situation work. We invested $60M on this kid. He's not shown that he's going to fail. Maybe save money on not signing Encarnacion and use it to bolster pitching staff.
-
I like any scenario that has Benintendi playing full time....thus our OF is PLUGGED for years to come. Young is signed for another year.....why take away opportunity for Benintendi? He's not show any lefty/right splits.
-
So Greinke received 6 year $206M contract? Nice
-
Luckily it wasn't Pomeranz waiting to go back out to pitch after 7 run explosion.........let it go...let it go....let it go
-
This is a game where the losing team should have the option to SURRENDER and STOP THE GAME.
-
Do I need to watch anymore of this game? Maybe....if Porcello wasn't pitching....I think we have this one
-
I was just going to say our two best hitters are at 8/9th....
-
Well at least we have one professional starting pitcher on this team
-
Mookie is the best of killer B's....I'd extend him right now
-
I hate Holt as Sox starting LF....but I love the kid when he's filling in......today at SS.......he's a super sub and very valuable to a ball club in that role.
