  1. That was already known, and that’s why I said yesterday. Going forward Arroyo should still be in the lineup somewhere as long as his bat is hot.
  2. It’s not the role being made up, but when is the last time, or at all has the term relief Ace been used on any broadcast, or anywhere else? You keep avoiding, and answering that question. Thanks for asking about my eye test. Came out fine.
  3. What to hell does how they are using Schreiber got to do with the term relief Ace being used.That may be how Schreiber is being used, but who is using relief Ace to describe anyone?
  4. Nice to see Story Land back in the lineup yesterday, but it shouldn’t be Arroyo taking a seat.
  5. It’s just like the Seinfeld show. It’s all about nothing.
  6. No! It’s not worth the bother, because I don’t hear anyone using it, and if I’m wrong about that where?
  7. I sad you don’t see many. I did not say any. Using good ole Tampa for an example again.
  8. All I have said I Have Never Heard that term before, and I have not. I never said you made it up. When is the last time outside of here you have read, or heard it used? Just asking?
  9. I have no idea when I heard the word closer, but I do know when I heard the term relief Ace. I’m surprised ECK has never used that, or any other announcers for that matter. Radtz could have been used for any term that has described a relief pitcher. He did everything.
  10. Everything has to have a label, or a number these days. There used to be either starters, or reliever. You don’t see many good teams without a good closer.
  11. This all seems to be about nothing. Like I said earlier I have watched thousands of Baseball games, watched Sports Center millions of times, and also the baseball channel just to name a few, and I have never heard the term relief Ace used before until on here. And if there were ever such a thing as a relief Ace Dick Radtz would be it.
  12. Didn’t DD replace a Bloom type guy as the GM of the Phillys?
  13. Just asking.
  14. I’ve never heard of the term Relief Ace, so I guess I missed it to. This Whitlock discussion has been beat to death too since opening day for me. I think to go into a season like the Red Sox did this year without a reliable closer was just bad baseball management. Now Max will tell you the Sox had two experienced closers in Robles, and Barnes. Robles really? Wasn’t Barnes so good he was left on the postseason roster in 2021? The Red Sox lost games early this season, because they couldn’t protect some of the few leads they did have. Atlanta won it all last year, and had a decent backend of the BP yet still went out, and got a closer it Jensen. The Red Sox did nothing, and I don’t see the Red Sox going out, and getting one for next year. I think the sample size is bigger enough to see that Whitlock is better than good in the BP, and I trust him more than Houck, so to me the backend of the BP is where Whitlock should stay, and I think if Cora had control on that subject he would say the same.
  15. Can the Sox get Friedman?
  16. Standings update. 3 games under 500 6 games back in the L column for last place 8 games back in the L column for the last Wild Card spot Time is running out!
  17. Well said, and it’s hard sometimes not to act like little kids, and yes I’m one of them.
  18. From the man who has done it all on here, and all of the above. The pot calling the kettle black. Priceless!
  19. We agree again Max. Well almost.You say Bloom is clueless, and I say he’s in over his head, so that’s close enough. Didn’t you say before that Bloom was borderline ignorant? Wow!
  20. Any peace, but Moons piece. Come on Man!
  21. And I suppose you think others on here are all mature? Come on man!
  22. Why does he keep commenting on someone on ignore? Coward of the County.
  23. Bushwhacking at its best.
  24. Coming out of the bushes again for more word salad. It’s amazing you come out with this phony baloney I guess what have you done for me lately concerning your Boy Toy Kike, but you don’t apply it to JD, or Bogey who have both done more in the past than Kike could ever dream about for the Red Sox whom you have been dissing. Flip flop, and more MoonSlop.
  25. Wasn’t even talking utility man with the Sox, but career. Best defensive CF they have ever seen in a Red Sox uniform is how he has been described on here. Exaggeration?
