Stinky Stanky

They're showcasing him for a trade. ?

Saved Kelly a run with a nice snab on a near wild pitch.

Thanks for getting it. The home/road stats are a statistical anomaly based on the scant evidence of less than 1/3 of a season. Lets not treat them as if they were etched in stone or established over a career's length. Play him. He wins you ball games.

Closer to one now than ever before, with his new handling skills, but still not the answer.

Robert looks pa-bleeping-thetic. First among equals of the Big Three.

T'weren't purty. Didn't have much of a personality either.

We're supposed to be going for the power that was missing the last some years. That would explain part of it. And no one ever confused Charlie Lau with Rod Carew either.

Started out with bad hands and still has bad hands. Can't teach instincts.

I agree with you to a certain extent. All went great until the last week of the short season, when the team started to stagger and Ricky began to act sort of nutty in an attempt to shock them back on track. That may have been the signal to management to replace him (or the opportunity to hire an old buddy for no damn good reason).

He hit a pitch that was clearly off the plate and I'd rather lose 3-0 than 1-0. Get 'em tomorrow.

He was handling success poorly and had worn out his welcome here. Obviously he's matured since then. But Spoelstra is part of the equation in Miami.

Seems like every time he went to a new team, they got worse. And he moved to new teams a lot. Just my perception?

If the bullpen was what it should be when the IL guys get their feet under them, they would have swept that series.

All of those bullpen guys throw really wicked s%*#. It appears they've figured out where to throw it. Otherwise, it doesn't take much to make hope swell in the chest of a Sox fan. Count me in.

It started to disappear years ago, when he was chasing BA titles.

That's how you fix a bullpen. Keep sorting out dorks until you find ones who suck less than the first bunch did. So Hahn knows something. But Colome was a hoot and a half the first time here. My stomach lining will never be the same. Useful for a couple of years. Worth Narvaez? I say yes.

Kendall throws some nasty s%*#. How it gets hit so much is a question I can't answer. And this is bad how?

He's bad at something, never deserved the halo so many of you had hung on him, but when you don't have a reliable arm in the pen, bullpen management is not the problem.

Funny stuff. I recall him saying this some 40 years ago, then almost immediately giving five years to the cringeworthy Jaime Navarro. The exception that proves the rule. Like that old saying actually means something.

Six weeks without a homer in midsummer last year wasn't enough of a clue for you? The arrow points down to start with, so???

It won't be Hahn to go first.

Aha, thought so. Getting tossed to stir things up reminded me of Renteria who did the same as his team was imploding at the end of his last season here. Same fate for Pedro and quickly? I'm not ruling it out.

Emmett Kelly was a great clown. All part of Fun Bad and that's still fun.

I was too critical. They did pass on Abreu at just the right time. So they were right once.

Smart teams bid adieu to the Lance Lynn's and fill the void from their player development stockpile. Dumb teams sign the Lance Lynn's because they don't have a clue what player development is. Sorry Lance, that I had to use you as an example.
