That would be the only thing he hit in the last 3 weeks.

I'm a guy who actually enjoys about 45% of your posts. You have a level of baseball experience most of us don't, and I enjoy that unique perspective. I don't want to see you be the next poster who is infamously known by a single name and automatically dismissed. But you get stuck in these pedantic, semantic, and/or circular battles, and seem to be unable to admit you ever even might be wrong, let alone that you are. The belligerence expresses itself in the fact that every post that disagrees with you turns into a 25 post slog of the same points over and over again. Stop playing dumb, you know you have a tendency to sink your teeth in to every single argument. When new points are there to present, that is fine and fun. Learn to let go though man. What is the point of spending time on here if everyone ignores you, which is unfortunately dangerously close to the truth right now.

I just merged them all here. ?

There were 3 qualified hitters in MLB last year who had under a 10% K Rate. Yes he's a unicorn.

That being said, he's had shoulder issues, so he very well may be toast. But Sox should sign him - there is virtually no risk is doing so.

Lol, you're all over the place within a single thread. You just make shit up as you go.

Christ, you're argumentative. Yeah, he mixed up his words but his point was clear : move coop to a position of honor outside the day to day operations. Maybe pitching coach emeritus, maybe promotion to some new VP, whatever. Your twin act of belligerence and then insisting you're one of the most reasonable posters here is getting real tired mate.

I really don't see the point of this thread.

congrats your watch is right twice a day. and we have an active abreu thread where you could have swung your flaccid dick around.

Did you eat a lot of paint chips as a child?

LOL okay. You aren't worth my time. Choose to be misinformed if you'd like.

I'm kind of pissed, I think we were 1 inning away from seeing Jon Jay pitch lol.

Gonna be hilarious when the Phillies miss the playoffs by one game

Fulmer will definitely go on DL

LOL. Even in a game thread where he knocks in the lead run, people blast Jose. And I've been told nobody on the board dislikes him, LOL.

Good thing we got Ross detwiler to protect the pen tomorrow

Velasquez a better LF than Eloy and Schwaber

After tonight just fire the entire coaching staff.

Wtf Vince Velasquez is a stud

Keep going. You're great.

3. Home opener 2. Eloy at wrigley 1. The Philly Phuck Story

Definitely some recency bias here. People said the same things about Matheny. Worse, maybe.

Is this just fantasy?

Thoughts and prayers to Jason and Stoney, who not only have had to watch this sox offense come to bat 13 times so far tonight, but talk about it too

swinging at the first pitch I actually don't mind.. its often a strike. Swinging at each and every pitch that's farted out towards home plate, regardless of location is another issue.

Are they ever not...?

Hahn must not watch these games, because I cannot comprehend how he allows Ricky to be such an idiot day after day.

Fire this fucking clown!

Ok Robert hit a BOMB off a hanger. Hand/thumb looks fine.

Yolmer so brain dead, wish he would spend 10% of time on baseball and not worrying about being the clubhouse clown.

Sheets HR

yes, huge backslide defensively this season.

If so, he should see a therapist for all the self-hate he has about his chewing tobacco habits. Can't be healthy.

@ron883 Can you make a thread about Eloy sucking next? He could use a boost.

No reason for racism

Caulfield what is with the obsession with the Brewers? You just started a thread about their pitching staff in PHT.

I haven’t looked that hard, but it seems like the “really bad personal issues” have to do with his parents’ health (to include his father’s death) and not with being some sort of psycho. Just FWIW.

God willing, Andrew Vaughn.

Supply and demand for only one elite pitcher still in his 20’s...at least 15-18 teams should be kicking the tires, including all the big spenders and probably coming off postseason success as well. Even Corbin got $140, so Cole will likely end up at $200-240 million.

If Ron can keep his Abreu opinions here it serves good purpose.

All the garbage in one can

This is glorious. Thank you

Players have to be willing to change. You can coach them up all you want but if theyve had success, it's harder to get them to change something that theyve been doing their entire life. His struggles in the big leagues may have helped to convince him that some small changes needed to happen.

Jose goes on a run hitting well...crickets. Jose struggles...I told you he sucks! He's in a slump. He'll rebound...then probably slump again...then rebound. He does the same thing almost every year.

In my head, and I don't know if it is real, but Luis Gonzalez seems to be a reasonable analog for Steele Walker. and last year at WS, Gonzalez hit .313/.376/.504. Walker is currently at .267/.341/.419. That was in 62 games for Gonzalez and 72 currently for Walker. Gonzalez had hit more doubles and triples, Walker has 1 more HR. Gonzalez had a 27/46 BB/K ratio and Walker's is 28/47. Their numbers are pretty similar. And a lot of people (myself included) were pretty optimistic about Gonzalez, but the adjustment to AA has tempered that a little bit. Now, I am not a scout, and honestly haven't seen more than 25 ABs from either guy, so maybe this comp is way off. They just seem like similar type players to me. Though if Walker has been battling a core injury all year, that certainly would have an impact. I say this, just to point out how difficult the jump from A+ to AA can be. For reference, I didn't vote, because I feel like the 2 guys are pretty close, and I'm hopeful that out of the two (3 with Gonzalez) the Sox get a RF.

Congratulations on being wrong until now!

At some point Mike Trout is going to start sucking and you better believe I'll be here to make you guys eat crow.

Congrats on not taking the bait.

That would be acceptable to me. Caulfield you almost made my top three but you are a little out there sometimes.
