  1. Casas does have some serious issues that he needs to cure. Constant 3-2 counts, foul off a couple then take strike 3 on a borderline pitch. It's one thing to have a sharp batter's eye and the patience to wait for your pitch but at 2 strikes he needs to be swinging, even it just runs off 10 fouls.
  2. I always thought the '78 one game loss to NYY was the worst single game I ever watched personally, and it still is. But the Bruins Game 7 OT loss to the soft as silk Florida Panthers was 1A. Terribly bad finish to a season that now doesn't matter. The Leafs will probably flush Florida in 4 , with 4 shutouts. Will actually save me a lot of time/grief not watching hockey for a long while
  3. "Did you ever have to make up your mind ?" "Did you ever have to finally decide ? " Go with the one, leave the other behind," "Did you ever have to make up your mind ?" Bloom/Cora/Bush's favorite Lovin' Spoonful tune
  4. A good HR power guy will get about 25 Hrs in a season. That's 1 less than 1 per week It's ok if you have about 4 of those in the regular lineup. The hitters were put to sleep today.
  5. The hammie has been bothering him for a while now. It will fully pop soon enough . Valdez should be made to eat soap in the shower. Major f***up.
  6. Got to start this one early, going to Las Vegas tomorrow, will be on the road. Undefeated Tanner Houck (3-0) going for the Series win vs Tyler Wells , low ERA @ 2.70 and very low WHIP at 0.69 over 23 innings in 3 starts/1 relief. Let's bury the O's and take Thursday off.
  7. Jansen is like a surgeon working on these guys. Kluber wins
  8. Came close to being a shift alignment by Kike, but glad he was there
  9. Damnable ORT, you can only fool yourself for so long that some guys can compete at this level
  10. We ORT to win but it's looking iffy .
  11. The pure joy of strike throwers. Wink goes 2 innings, 6 outs on 27 pitches, and it would have been even better without the 2 out single.
  12. Orioles have 7 hits tonight, only one of consequence. But without keeping a close track they all seem to have come with 2 outs
  13. A tale of 4 games by our veteran , one time Aces/CY winners : Sale dominant, Kluber sucks, Sale sucks, Kluber dominant . A combined 1-6 prior to this game, where Kluber should be the winner
  14. Two things can be true at once despite the odds
  15. A much better attitude, approach, and possibly instant maturity, and we have a functional outfielder with a hot bat. Depth is good here.
  16. Max, I'm on to your contrarian madness that made this possible . I spoke to Corey and informed him of the consequences .
  17. So lots of yapping on many boards about Cora mismanaging Sale last night by letting him set up the 5th run. How far do you low pitch count (80) Kluber go. Enter the 7th and pull after anyone gets on ??
  18. Based on the stats shown for Paxton's start tonight, he is far from ready. 82 pitches/42 strikes , 4 runs in 4 innings or was it 5 runs ? He's not ready for prime time and Sox don't need him right now, make him work for it.
  19. In a Stephen King novel----The Disappearing Check Casher
  20. The injury bug has started early this year, mostly because, it's still early. Losing a starting outfielder ( Duvall), a utility/starter IF who stabilized SS ( Chang) , a reliever (Kelly) is not inconsequential . Story, Paxton, Joely Rodriguez, Mondesi still not ready . So what is different.... it appears there really is some depth now in the organization....Bloom is vindicated
  21. Tonight's breakout ( so far) is what makes losses like yesterday all the more miserable. Coulda, woulda, shoulda swept the Orioles in a statement series. Do we still have to play tomorrow's game?
  22. Seer what happens when the bottom half of the lineup can hit the ball. Duran is making it happen big time with the GS
  23. Be beneficial for the hitters to work over Bradish with another 40 pitches and 3 more runs. ASs we saw yesterday , the game doesn't end in the 4th/5th inning
  24. McGuire doesn't do much except hit . Maybe he is a DH Kluber in trouble , up 3 runs , been talking to Sale.
