You were funny up to a point but i don't get this shot at the place someone lives. Texas may not be popular with some individuals but it is still the best place I have previously lived.

The annual Jackie Bradley Jr thread (2019 Edition)
vegasbob replied to Station 13's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
How incredibly (unbelievably ) bad could a front office be to accomplish what happened with Fisk, Lee, etc in the 70's ? -
Hey man, you are good for interesting comments and keeping the game thread moving along. neither of us need the stats to voice our opinions but I do respect the numbers scholars on this website for all i have learned.
-
Nice comment towards Vaz who has elevated his game, maybe for good or just for awhile. I like his approach and contact rate. Leon will get the "day off" assignments. maybe for Sale, but if Vaz hit .250 for the season that would be great.

Hitting vs. Fielding by lineup players
vegasbob replied to Maxbialystock's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Correct Observation. If Davis had caught that ball, it would have changed the innings outcome. -
Good call, Dude
-
Yes, his nickname was "Little" or " MARY had a little'
-
Enough with the Wei we will win this series, Splendid
-
True that, he came from third base side and intimidated RH hitters
-
Somewhat of a struggle for the Sox, and wondering what happened to Brasier ? But a win by any name or method counts.
-
A large human being with equally large appetites. Could smoke a fastball over the plate or behind your head. he was fun to watch in action.
-
Chris Davis is a sack of s*** that the orioles will eat for years to come
-
I think he walked, not a hit, which was a minor miracle by itself
-
The asswipe goes from 1st to 2nd only on a single to right. I was away, so may have missed the real play.
-
If JBJr, who cannot hit right now, has a 95 % success rate of stealing 2nd base, why doesn't he run every time he gets on base, however, rare ? Because he sucks as an offensive baseball player
-
You see the future like the three eyed crow with respect to JBJr.

For the older guys the memory of Dick Radatz coming into the game was a rare thrill for the 60's Red Sox. He was the Red Sox answer to Ryne "Can't See s*** " Duren of the Yankees. I met Dick in the later 1980's and he was a great guy to hang with, drinking copious Mississippi Mudslides. His son, Dick Radatz Jr. was a young FO type before the analytics age. Dick radatz was old school and a great closer before it was fashionable
-
The real answer is to evaluate the situation at the trade deadline and see if the team needs JBJr. Either keep him or trade him (for anything) at that point. He will try to be very expensive next yeareven if he is a sub .200 hitter in 2019. DD does not want to waste a QO on him if he can't get to .200.

Regardless of political opinions, the WH visit by sports winners is an odd "tradition" that is a loser in the current political climate. It was a photo opp only and a losing proposition.
-
Although i would rather watch JDM strike out than to watch JBJr hit a home run, that K-throw out at second of Betts makes me wonder if it's Halloween. What was Betts doing to be out by 15 feet, and JDM wave at a ball ?
-
I recognize that he is actually a young, cheap, above average LF'er who will probably play for 10 plus years and get a big contract along the way . Good for him.. The issue of the power-pull swing vs the inside out fly to left field may be the problem of a medium strength LH hitter playing in Fenway Park where the RF seats are just out of reach but the Wall beckons. Tough to change your swing to adapt to each different park. I wish him well because he will be around the Sox for a few more years.
-
JBJr---an out caught is better than a hit made
-
You are right. Notice not so much Leon catching. Cora playing the hot hand and good for Vaz
-
Benintendi could hit .407, with 75 HR's and 200 rbis and I still wouldn't think he was much more than a foul ball hitter. never have felt right about his talent over a long term
-
No, need to DFA him. BA around .220, OBP below .300. What's that ? 24 rbi's and 10 HR's. Give the man some love.
