Maybe he would be better for the DSL but nowhere near the bigs.

QB rating. Are other sports using WAR? I think they do in hockey. Agents usually like those worthless stats.

Playing baseball in March in the Midwest doesn't help either. There are so many factors out there. A team can still win and not pack a stadium.

This thread is going to to run out to be a fillibuster thread. I never go there anyway. I like places that are free of political stuff. I hope mods will also remove or edit any political jabs people throw in their posts. I've seen this happen with newer members.

I didn't understand that move either.

Emotion is overrated. You can watch the NFL all day and see a WR celebrate over a 2 yd pass. Most of your hall of fame players in any sport would not be there if it was based on emotion.

It's not the glamorous position it use to be. I'd bet any young catcher that is good at hitting a baseball an organization wants to move them down t first base.

The Sox never get an experienced manager. It's often former players. Fans get duped into thinking this is the right thing to do. Omar Visquel will probably be the next manager. As for the Cubs the experienced ones like Baker and Pinella didn't pan out.

I thought they would be in the WS again. Baseball is a funny sport. Sometimes it's not about talent but a team getting hot at the right time.

This was a fun team to watch. So shocked about their post season results. Can't wait till next year.

I can't wait till next year when it comes to Winston-Salem, Kannapolis, and Great Falls. Birmingham should be better as well.

Sad that with the free weekend I can't watch this team. I'll be watching the NL race. Nice to see some meaningful baseball.

We get to see his incompetence at a higher level. Maybe you'll get to see Davidson who might be the best of them all.

Hopefully they have come to their sense that veteran NL talent is always a bust for them.

Aren't we use to this by now?

You appear to have your head up your own ass by taking the game thread in the WRONG direction. You show no sense now. Please refrain from political crap.

There's probably a lot to envy. Their ownership doesn't have a sense of loyalty to a fault. They invest in experienced management while the Sox always look for someone who wore the uniform. Two of our top prospects were originally theirs. Their farm system is no joke. They have better scouting. They are superior in many ways. Reinsdorf's buddy system vs. Ricketts getting those who won. I do fear when Reinsdorf is gone there will still be that status quo.

This was such a fun team to watch.

Coop likes his guys to pitch to contact. Pitchers who K a lot of guys throw a lot more pitches.

Part of me wants to cry. 1) I did not get to watch these playoff games. 2) Sox A ball has officially ended this season. Watching the A teams was so exciting. Kanny and Salem were disappointments but GF really put up some numbers.

5-0

I've given up the thought of a hitting coach makes a difference. Dusty Baker use to go through a lot of them. It's a swing for the fences mentality with younger players. There's no situational hitting. It's all about individual accomplishments. Bunting is not glamorous but some made a career out of it.

Need some love for Great Falls

Nice post and you can also go back to Robin Ventura when he came up they just expected him to field his position.

So after just playing a little over a full season he is not a Mike Trout. There's a lot of impatience among fans.
