  1. How did you acquire him anyway? FA add?
  2. Given that I've now criticized the Chavez trade, the OF depth post-Revere trade, the decision to rely on Thole as the only MLB caliber backup catcher, and Carrera's continued presence on this roster, I'm not sure why I'm being lumped in with this "small collective" that heaps praise on the new regime at every corner.
  3. This is two posts in two threads that you tear down the straw man of me praising the new regime for the depth they've added. I'm not sure why you're doing this, but I made few (if any) such posts, and complained about the catching and OF depth all offseason, likely to the point of annoying the other members of the forum.
  4. Josh Donaldson's speech was so motivating that they went 7-9 in the next 16 games. Did it just take 3 weeks to sink in? Nobody needed Josh Donaldson to obnoxiously tell the media that it's the 'get it done league'. Nobody needs him to do it this year. It's a funny little story about an arrogant player that we all love, but to act like JD's bitching to the media turned the season around is pretty silly.
  5. yup, didn't pull a Cyborg
  6. Yup. If the team wins like 82 games and gets s***** performances from guys like Martin, Tulo, Edwin, Goins, and Colabello while also getting like 380 good innings from Happ and Estrada he can retool the roster while the fans will have the perception that AA left a tire fire behind.
  7. Damn, should have started Jon Niese in Coors on a Wednesday
  8. Nope. I'm still recovering from my heel turn.
  9. Yay, golden sombrero for Martin!
  10. Because I love him and he's a boss, that's why.
  11. Very calculated offseason by him: leave AA's team intact, add a few arms on short contracts. If they win, great. If they lose, it was the same group as 2015 and the new regime hasn't added a single long term deal.
  12. The more I think about it, the more I hope they walk away from Bautista and Edwin. We might be seeing first hand the downside of guys signed to 20M contracts into their late 30s. Adding one or two more to Tulo and Martin would be scary. Extend Donaldson though!
  13. But really, the team's 10-13 start isn't a mystery, and the problem isn't lack of effort. - Above average starting 2B hasn't played a single game, and the replacements have been replacement level. - Star high priced catcher has been ridiculously awful and might be hurt. - Star high priced shortstop has been just about average. - Star DH who is a top-10 hitter in the league has been a league average hitter. - bullpen has gone through a bad stretch to start the season There's nothing fundamentally wrong here - it comes down to disappointing play from four top players, and a slow start from the bullpen. That's a lot to overcome. None of these guys are playing poorly because they're not trying.
  14. There isn't a team in baseball that would have bought Dickey out for 2M instead of exercising a 10M option.
  15. I'm pretty sure most of this forum is teenagers who have never worked at a job. No adult thinks that a group of 24 men need to be called out by their peer, and will then start performing better at work.
  16. Barney has to be hurt. It was bad enough to start Goins, but to let him face Duke late in the game with Barney on the bench is egregious.
  17. Couldn't have brought Barney out at least to face Duke? Chris Almighty.
  18. Maybe he has a painful zit or something. A bit premature for the "OMG Estrada hurt season over" posts.
  19. I don't know why JFaS decided to start Bud Norris in Fenway on a Wednesday, but I'm happy about it.
  20. Marco is still pitching, and very effectively. What's with the freaking out about a DL stint?
  21. K for your information, *******, I have seen a lion. And not one of your crap ass queen of the jungle homoerotic pussy-cat lions. A real lion, with fangs and horns and wings and s***. Don't pull your f***ing wierd ass african voodoo hypnosis crap on me when you don't even know wtf you're talking about.
  22. Wo, this is a new MO. Interesting.
  23. Career wRC+ vs. LHP: Goins = 40 Barney = 92 It sucks that your everyday 2B is out, but at least do everything you can to replace the production. I don't think anyone can really complain about Goins getting most/all starts vs. RHP, but there's no reason for him to start over Barney with a lefty on the mound. Unless Barney is hurt.
