    There were other 'Tea Parties' prior to Boston.

    Rightfield until Suzuki returns. That why I question signing guys like Bregman. You get a good player to replace a pretty decent player, when the $31M could've been spent elsewhere.

    Functional weight-lifting has made a lot of advances over the years. My gym has a baseball bat attachment for the rotational cable machines. Just in case the boys try to get the band back together.

    I'd have gladly extended him after his first year with us.

    There was an article in Men's Health on-line showing a study that said heavy lifting increases joint flexibility. I'm thinking that, if your knees/shoulders can handle a heavy lift, it is probably better able to handle a hard slide into a base.

    I think that's a perfectly legitimate question. And, tbh, I have no idea why, but here are my theories: I could've been exaggerating for affect. Was my previous assessment a response to fred? The difference between an A and a strong B+ is not that different. It could all depend on what day I answered the question. If you don't mind, please post my original remarks. I didn't like Murakami, so it had to be Okamoto. And the difference between Okamoto and Durbin is not that much, imho.

    Suppose I don't want to remember?

    I remember a couple of people complaining about his use of the 'f' word. Such a great speech. Short and sweet, and he said exactly what needed to be said.
  9. JoeBrady
    I gave them a strong B+.

    IRT Anthony, he might have the skills to bat him anywhere. I wouldn't be shocked if he was our best OBP guy, arguing top of the order, or our best HR hitter, arguing for #3/4.
  11. JoeBrady
    And fairly meaningless, imho. Kimmi knows the numbers better than I do, but my recollection is batting order is fairly meaningless I think breaking up the lefties might've have shown the biggest impact. Since every team is different, every BOP will be different. Most of our players don't add many differentiating skills. These conjectures work better when you have a .375 OBP/45 SB guys, or a 45-HR threat. Most of guys are a little better/worse at certain areas, but not enough to make a serious impact on BOP.

    A Guinness awaits me. Good luck and enjoy!

    This worked out a heck of a better than I expected. So many called strikes were upheld, when the pitch caught an inch of the plate, sometimes less. No doubt the umps will occasionally miss badly, but I was impressed all-around. The winners will be the physics majors (earning minimum wage) that will develop a hierarchy of when to challenge.
  15. JoeBrady
    Py W/L is incredibly accurate.
  16. JoeBrady
    Maybe, but maybe not. There is a development process involved. Otherwise, the elite athletes would go from HS to the majors. Also, while it doesn't matter to KC, you should try to get a players best 6 years. Teams like the Angels promote guys that aren't ready, and waste 3 service years hoping they adapt.
  17. JoeBrady
    I've never seen anything like that and probably not even close. Pitches that should be automatic balls became HRs. Still, he knew he had to go with the pitch. I use to watch guys like Chavis step in the bucket trying to pull pitches three inches outside.
  18. JoeBrady
    I will have tears of joy if he starts taking outside pitches, or going the other way. Along with Boggs, guys like Carew and Mattingly were geniuses. You would barely see them move, and sweetly flap the ball down the LF line. Even when rooting against them, it was beautiful to watch.
  19. JoeBrady
    Do they still have 'kangaroo courts'?
  20. JoeBrady
    This is going to be fun. There are going to be guys challenging in the first inning with an 0-2 count, no one on base, and two outs. They'll be guys challenging on obvious strikes. And I can't wait to see what the final umpire count is. Some umps will be 0-6 on opening day. Some will be 4-4.
  21. JoeBrady
    Some of us think of these things as assets. More assets are always better.
  22. JoeBrady
    Mine was a hypothetical as well. But if I were a manager, I'd be fining a pitcher for throwing anything near the heart of the plate for the first 2-3 pitches. For comparison purposes, Story got to a 3-0 count 5x, and Duran had 14. Story got to 3-1 14x and Duran 37x.

    With fresh Guinness on tap at the local pub.

    Some fans need to get use to the concept that, like every baseball (and non-baseball) move, some will work out, and some won't. With this morning's story about PCA getting extended, I just cannot imagine what some RS fans would think about PCA having about a .550 OPS after his first 100 games. They'd have been crying non-stop about losing Javier Baez.

    People's memories are designed to remember only what they want to remember. Accuracy only impedes that.
