    The baggage is likely lack of self confidence combined with self loathing while putting a tough guy face on for the veneer. I suspect Price and others who have problems with pressure really don't believe they have the right stuff and their conscious mind overrides their actual abilities. Got that from a placard at the Holiday Inn Express last night

    Going back to last Friday, the regular offense has scored 1 , 11, 1 and 1 plus Porcellos 3 run double. The 1's don't get the prize. A win tonight behind Johnson et alia would be a big deal. Nationals are only 1 game over .500 vs the Sox 28. Who would you bet on?

    Cora is making another error here, leaving Benintendi in ( instead of tomorrow off) and putting Nunez in for Holt at 2B is not playing the hot hand. This is a game of trends and streaks both good and bad. I 'm not getting Cora here. And it isn't any lefty/righty matchup BS

    Hope the Sox find a way to become Price-less in the future, sooner than later, subject to change of heart without notice if he can beat the Orioles.

    John Stirling would be the absolute worst next door neighbor and Susan Waldman who i know, would be #2

    That can help offset the 4 games not yet played by NYY . As hsrd as it is to maintain a .667 record over a season, neither Sox nor NY are letting up much. Since the 17-2 opening, the Sox are now 40-27 or .597 which by itself would be a 96 win pace. Yankees had a similar streak later so they remain tightly bunched but light years ahead of other teams except the Astros. ALDS and ALCS may be one for the ages. in the WC play -in game, one team's fans butts will be eating sofa cushions as their 100 win team plays a much weaker record.

    Great news if they can make it stand

    Beni, Bogie, Moreland, Devers go 1 for 16 , followed by 3 for 3 Holt , who did get caught trying to run on a good LH'er.

    A road win in a NL city with JDM resting has to be of some value. The hitters certainly didn't do much on an off night for Scherzer . Maybe we load up tomorrow and don't need Kelly , Barnes or anybody else.

    Braves trying to get the Yankees 3-3 in the 10th w/MoB and 2 outs

    Pure Joe Kelly f***ing you from the clubhouse

    It will be over 30 and Craig looks gassed

    I realize most all MLB hitters can catch up to 100mph FB if they see a few, but who is that is actually calling these breaking pitches by Kimbrel and Kelly. It would be one thing if they could throw it for a strike or near the plate, but they don't.
  14. vegasbob
    Part of Kelly's contribution to the team is that Kimbrel had to warmup in the BP, take 8 pitches off the mound in the 8th, another 8 to open the 9th, and will use probably 25 actual pitches , rendering him hors de combat tomorrow night. Thanks, JOE for sharing and caring

    Actually that is a TACTIC, not a strategy, not unlike a football team's philosophy which is always a joke.

    Beni gets the golden sombrero but don't fear he will have a day off tomorrow to ponder his utter futility
  17. vegasbob
    I know everyone expects a big 100+win season, and a long(er) playoff run from this bunch , but just not sure that some of the pieces are like fine porcelain---pretty to look at in the glass front cabinet, but very fragile
  18. vegasbob
    I agreed with you that Beni was slipping away from what worked. It was pretty evident watching and he also thinks too much.
  19. vegasbob
    Ypu got this one right in the heart (or lack thereof )
  20. vegasbob
    Gee, I thought Kelly was a 100mph FB pitcher, not junk throwing jerk. Cora sees enough and gets Kimbrel in for a 4 outer. Talk about playing to a guys strengths. Nice work for the third game in a row Kelly. The good thing about 2 out walks is that they don't fly over the wall
  21. vegasbob
    Ok, OK, it's a deal
  22. vegasbob
    No he gave up 3 runs in the first, 1 in second, 1 in third before exiting, unless you meant HR alone.
  23. vegasbob
    What would the Nationals, who are going nowhere post season, want for Collins ?? Would Price, Pomeranz and Swihart be enough ?
  24. vegasbob
    If Matt was a dog (which he sometimes is) it would be a full bloodhound, with that hangdog look.

    Barnes is like watching water drip from a leaky faucet,
