yeah... lets be honest....

he has gotten better lately at 2nd then earlier in the year - some of these "runs saved" stats that everyone accepts now are a bit of a head scratcher to me. the new era of subjective stats.

Of course no one is going to come out and directly contradict Larussa - that would be a bad idea no matter what the truth was. Here is how it went down - no one was thinking about it... no coaches, no fans really - the game was a blowout and the count was 3-0. No one was really thinking he would swing 3-0.. but even if they were - they didnt really think much of it. But then when he hit a homerun - THEN people were like Uh oh.. lol twins going to get butt hurt about that. The sox staff didn't expect that to happen either - i believe that larussa doesn't want him swinging there... but there was no sign or anyone telling him not to - because no one was even thinking about it or caring at the moment. This was all after the fact response.

i really dont think so - I've watched the video a handful of times and the entire at bat he looks at the dugout once - and its not long enough for a sign

mature for sure.

but how dare Yermin miss a sign that was never actually given!

while I disagree with the renaming of this area.. more because a regular every day worker having something named after them is rare - then because care f if they named a stand after TLR I'm going to be honest - this is near the bottom of my give a fuck list.

obese player? rofl yeah not really....

Just think for a little bit that makes no sense. you really think they were so worried about the fat position player pitching that they yelled "take" at yermin at any point? C'mon man no way lol. That is just not believable. they didnt expect yermin to swing 3-0... but no one told him anything... no one really was thinking about it or gave a shit.. but after he hit a home run then they ran into PR mode

I heard tweaked his hammy - day to day.

lol he keeps saying this bullshit - but Yermin doesn't look towards the dug out long enough at any point to get a sign. he only looks once the entire at bat and its like less than a second - there was no fucking sign.

offense horrible today...

tony with the punt... but couldn't blame him too much on this one.

combination of bad hitting and wasting outs.

there was that "good command of the strike zone" that abreu has... yeah never been true.

fucking infuriating.

yermin on his way back to reality.

didnt like that Gant has no control and then jose and yermin both swing at the first pitch...

its tough to say where Vaughn plays in the future,,,, I could see him and Eloy rotating between DH and LF

cards handed us that one- thanks we will take it

5280 games or whatever and you still fucking suck. one of the worse games I've seen an umpire have this year.

some of that is true for sure - but I really don't agree that Jose has a good handle on the strike zone. He has great plate coverage and is good at fouling off some tough pitches at time.... but he swings at lots of bad pitches. Jose is a smart hitter so he guesses right a lot - but he never has had a good eye.

If Abreu had Grandal's eye.. holy shit. He would be like Bonds in the steroid years.

167 BA but over 1000 ops... that's crazy

1. Hendricks: still a decent arm but sometimes a one pitch pitcher - so I'll go with average for him so far this year. 2. Bummer - hasn't been too great this year.. but been pretty good the past few - ill say he is a plus guy. 3. Foster = young guy who has a good year last yeah but no track record - ill go with ??? 4. Crotchett - had a cannon.. had surgery.. has looked good at times this year so far but still unproven ill go with ??? 5. Ruis - good fast ball but been a gas can most of his career - ill go with negative on him. 6. Marshall - up and down career has been a gas can more than he has been good - ill go with negative on him. 7. Kopech - been good this year.. but another unproven guy - ill say positive since he has been dominant most of the year. 8. Cody H - good arm- was good last year... but 6.50 era so far this year - another unproven guy.. ill go ??? with him We do have some talent.. but its mostly unproven and most teams have lots of guys that can throw hard.. I think we really overated our bullpen coming into the year - it was built upon a lot of young guys that have no track record really.
