  1. Whose autograph did Leon get on his neck, just under/behind the ear ?
  2. What was nice about Mookie's HR was that the guy you needed to do it, DID IT !
  3. I can, I did , last time in 1986 in a league in TX that allowed a couple former MiLB players on a roster. Won the state championship in the Pepsi Games in San Antonio. Last time to warm a guy up was a pitcher from Univ of Michigan, not wearing any mask. He fliped the glove for a curveball, threw a 90mph FB past my head, and I walked away, never played with the idiot again.
  4. Nice blast by Mookie. Good timing and much appreciated. Looks like Hembree will be up for the save.
  5. Nunez says he can catch
  6. IMO, #6 or 7 in the lineup. Plays LF in Fenway due to his short arm throwing. Modest power , especially second half 2018. Can run well, if he gets on. He is cheap salary wise for a couple more years. Don't think he is a "special ' player. May improve as time goes , but what is he waiting for.
  7. Now here is some humor. Thursday's game is at 12:37 EDT. Cora has worked his primary BP guys and this game is not over yet. Tomorrow's RS starter : Ryan Weber. It's a BP/opener type game.
  8. That's a good , new thought. All the discussion is about moving JBJr, but this season needs to figure out Benintendi's role on this team going forward. You would have to listen with an open mind.
  9. Hit the walkoff or gamewinner and get on ESPN. It's all about the clicks come contract time.
  10. Hey SS, would you trade heads up right now the entire Toronto pen for the Sox pen and take your chances ??
  11. Walden threw his best pitches and got a little lucky with a freeswinging Galvis and a 370' flyball.
  12. Game would have been over and won, had Walden been asked to throw nothing but sliders to light hitting Jansen
  13. I think there was probably a belief that the hitting would carry them well enough to the trade deadline point where they could make moves if needed. The hitters aren't doing it consistently.
  14. Yes, it did. Still feels that way. Cora has burned up 3 of his "better" BP guys.
  15. Relievers, hitters or Leon calling a FB instead of Walden's better slider? Or as Slasher says, Cora pulling Porcello ?
  16. That was a .183 hitter messing up the game. 3 relievers , 3 innings , 3 runs. WTF ??
  17. He was smiling on the bench, wearing a sweater, chewing seeds, so i will guess tomorrow.
  18. There needs to be a PSA advising the Jays to roll over, lay down and die when playing the 119 game winning Red Sox. They are giving no respect.
  19. throwing nothing but heifer heat and calf fry cheese
  20. Note Cora saving money on Barnes next year arb hearing by pitching him without a save opportunity in the 8th. Try Thornburg for the save since he won't be looking for a raise.
  21. I know there is a lot of talk about giving relievers, especially those with control issues, clean innings to pitch. Under tonight's circumstances and Rick's pitch count , it may have made more sense to run him out to start the 7th and pull upon getting a baserunner , if any. Now the BP still needs to get 6 more outs, with a slim cushion, thanks for Rafi's blast.
  22. I don't care what Workman's record and stats are. This is a horseshit performance by a choking pitcher whose ass is eating his shorts. 28 pitches to get 3 outs and make it a one run game. Nice work, don't choke on the postgame meal
  23. Always amazed at 2 out hitting. Workman gets 2 outs and a 1-2 count on Galvis with just 9 pitches. Now 2nd and 3rd after another 2 strike count, still 2 out. Workman turns it into a pressure situation. Now a 4 pitch walk to load the bases. When a reliever gets up to 20 or more pitches, really bad things happen.
  24. Definitely so. Deserves a win here and the team needs it.
