At least JH isn’t playing any favorites.
-
That has already been answered many times over. The Red Sox already have a 3B that they paid $300M plus for. For good, or worse.
-
They’ve really been pushing the advertising up here for the big shindig with promos many times daily.
-
So the hotdog vendor must have told the Sea Dogs manager.
-
You definitely won’t get any nominations for comeback. Hibernation was your best move.🤮
-
Fans in the stands? It was first mentioned by the Sea Dogs manager on his weekly interview on the local radio sports talk show the Big Jab, and yes it was talked about at the Ballpark by the fans.
-
What you say doesn’t change the word that was going around Portland at the time, and since you wasn’t there you don’t know if I’m a liar, or not, which I would have no reason to do so.
-
Someone is always coming off unhinged, or making mountains out of molehills. I was told the other day after Sale got traded that I couldn’t say I think Sale stays healthy this coming year, and has a good season, because I didn’t say that when Sale was in Boston, and called him Frail Sale, which many others did too on here, and other venues.
-
I was at the ballpark in Portland when Mookie was first moved to the OF, and that was the story going around the BP at that time. Call me a liar all you want. Either way it’s not life, and death like you are making out to be, which happens so often on here.
-
You were done before, and went into hibernation, which is where you did your best work.
-
But at the time Swihart played LF, and Holt was in RF they had run out of options.
-
Was you around Portland at the time Mookie got moved to the OF?
-
Like I said earlier you made more sense when you were in hibernation.
-
Why was Swihart, and Brock Holt tried in the OF?
-
No doubt that starting pitchers meant more back in the day. Starting pitchers used to be as big of a name as the sluggers, and didn’t need nearly as much help as they need today from the BP.
-
All kinds of pitching stats can be skewed for a number of reasons. BP, and closers too.
-
Pedroia at 2B might have helped the decision, but if there wasn’t a big need in the OF at that time the move might not have been made.
-
Thanks for filling me in, and setting me straight.
-
I’ll repeat that the Red Sox had OF problems at the time, and that was the MAIN reason. Swihart, and Brock Holt being tried out there should have told you that. There just wasn’t a need, but a BIG need.
-
That trade that Notin was all for turned into a head scratching discussion for more than a day on here.
-
163 is what he hit in Milwaukee, and you was making excuses for him like facing different pitchers in different parks, and you was all for the trade, so I don’t think 163 would be classified as fat in JBJ’s case, but that’s where you took it, and for what purpose?
-
Mookie wasn’t moved to the OF, which happed when he was in Portland at the time, because of Pedroia, but because for some reason the Red Sox were having trouble of producing OF at that time. Swihart got tried in the OF, and Brock Holt got put in the OF who hadn’t played there before, so that’s wrong on the Pedroia angle. You are way off base on this one.
-
I was just throwing Mazeroski’s name out there. I could have said Chuck Schilling, Mike Andrew’s, Jerry Adair, Denny Doyle, or even the Rooster who moved to 2B.
-
He also sucked at SS.
-
That’s why the Braves were trying him in the OF.
