    I have to agree. As Duran said the slur he was probably reacting without thinking. It does not mean he is a bad person or a homophobe. BTW, LBJ was the most pro black president since Lincoln, nevertheless in private he used the N word regularly. The old days were different. JFK had concubines and the press looked the other way. Had a ball player said the F word in the 1960s it would have been 100% ignored by the media. Duran made a mistake and he will pay. End of story. At least he can continue to be a ballplayer.

    OK, great answer! I suspected the batters don't try very hard, but I have seen some that do.

    Why is it so hard to understand that some ball players are young and use locker room language. They are not choir boys or kids that have been raised in a highly PC culture. Duran made a mistake and now he will forever be blackballed and never get to do a commercial (like Papi does). This is the lack of experience of a young man that is very passionate about the game of baseball. I guess he could have said shut up "moron" instead of the F word, but that is the way it goes. Wait, the "moron" insult would have been insulting to all the morons of the world. Better say nothing. He will learn to ignore the hecklers.

    Is the F word the new N word? I read an article that the slur is an insult. But that the insult also involves an entire class of people. In that context he has to pay the penalty Has anyone heard the song “Money for Nothing”?

    Serious question: Why not used Smith as a reliever on a regular basis? Why only use Smith when the game is out of reach? The times I saw him pitch the batters were really trying to hit.
  6. jgar658
    It has gotten really bad. To the point that I can predict the homers by the opposition with great certainty. As someone said above the homers come from obvious hitters such as Yordan Alvarez. One would think a savy pitcher would know this and give the obvious home run hitters nothing to hit as long as there is room in the bases. Cora should also immediately take out any reliever that is allowing solid hard contact more than three times.

    Society is regressing to a Victorian puritanical stage. Who cares!

    Welcome to hell This may be the season

    I like Red Seat on You Tube.

    Crawford tried to pitch to Witt? Is he nuts?
  11. jgar658
    I think the players like to play for Cora and that is huge. According to Dustin Pedroia Cora was a massive help when he first came up as a rookie. At the time Cora was still an active player.

    What happens to Do Smith after Casas comes back? Smith is playing quite well and is probably a better defender than Casas. I suspect that Casas will struggle if he comes back too soon as he has been inactive for a long time. Should Casas take a long rehab in Worcester before coming back? What are the options for Smith?

    Al Kaline made his major league debut at age 18. Soto at age 19.

    I have to admit the sarcasm is quite funny!

    How about moving Devers to DH? Bring up Mayers and turn him into a third baseman? He is supposed to be slow, so I do not see him as a SS in the big leagues. Or better yet, put him on 2nd base.
  16. jgar658
    Who would that be? I guess there are quite a few. Who is available? That would open the spot for the right handed bat.

    Our issue is and always has been pitching. The only times it wasn't was 2004, 2007, 2013 and 2018. [/b] This is what I would do: Put Pivetta in the BP. Keep Criswell in the rotation. Pivetta in the BP can be formidable and pitch up to three four innings every so often and that would rest the tired BP. I would not trade Abreu as he is quite young and could be a diamond in the rough. He could blossomed just like Duran has.

    O’Neil made two massive crappy plays in the outfield and was not given an error.
  19. jgar658
    Awesome win!!!!!!!! Does anyone know why Judge took three pitches down the middle. It was incredible!
  20. jgar658
    I suggest you guys go to bed.
  21. jgar658
    Kike being Kike was nice.
  22. jgar658
    Gotta love how O’Neil threw the bat.
  23. jgar658
    Yes, they score the go ahead run on that needless throw.
  24. jgar658
    When Rafaela took that head first slide into 3rd base he slowed down to a crawl.
  25. jgar658
    OK, that sounds like a decent lineup. I believe Abreu needs coaching. He tends to swing for the fences or tries to pull the ball way too much. He seems to have a good eye at the plate and is often the victim of borderline balls that are called strikes. He needs to be a contact hitter too.
