Good god. Minnesota is up 11-5 on Boston..... in the 2ND INNING.
Jamey Carroll has gotten up 3 times already.
Ad-Rod is very hot. Slow start could have been due to hand injury.
Last 5 games: 10 for 22, 5 doubles, 3 home runs.
That's ripping it.
He hasn't listened to any coaches so far, what makes you think he'd start now? I'd be thrilled if he were gone tomorrow. I'd rather see Lagares get experience vs RHP than Valdespin in this lineup.
It happens dude, Relax. He's a #5/Long relief guy that probably won't be here 1-2 years from now. He's coming off a great outing. A guy like him isn't going to pitch back to back gems. He's not...
Yeah Duda!! Am I the only one here?
Didn't have a good feeling for Hefner in this spot after his last outing + after last night. Sox are going to hit him here. Still might end up an okay #5 someday.
He'd do the same in this lineup that he'd do in every other lineup. What kind of comment is that? We're not the worst offense in the league jeez. We're 15th in runs in all of ML. Dead smack in...
What has happeneded to the art of the switch hitter? 10-15 years ago you'd find a couple guys on every roster who could hit from both sides of the plate. It seems like they are becoming rarer and...
Terry don't care about those stats vs Peavy. He's a RH v LH, LH v RH guy. Regardless.
Davis is hitting below Baxter vs RHP. Awesome.
I loved the Plawecki pick btw ;)

Some type of discrete, comfortable kevlar lining? sure! Batting helmets? No. and if anyone disagrees, I think that person is pretty ****ing dumb.
If that's the case, then the answer is easy. Baxter over Valdespin.
Why stop at helmets? Why not full eye protection for the pitcher was well? A line drive to the eye could end a guy's vision in a heartbeat. What about his grill? Should we just put a facemask on...
No. I don't want to see pitchers in Helmets. Period. Guys get injured. It's sports. These owners buy freak injury insurance packages on their expensive guys. It's not like pitchers get knocked...
A game that they have the choice of whether or not to play. I could get lined in the head playing fast pitch softball tomorrow, and that's playing for fun. Nobody is holding a gun to their head...
But your first 17 starts? Pretty impressive anyway.
If he showed better defensive instincts I wouldn't mind the run-out with him. But his upside is nowhere near what you guys are putting on him. There's not a GM in this league who would give...
And over the larger sample size, Baxter's is 0.7. And? Baxter could go 3/4 tomorrow and probably get his fWAR close to 0.0.
But he's not better than Baxter. No matter how many times you guys want to spit that out. Maybe he could some day, that's an argument you can make (I disagree with that opinion), but as of right...
I'm not judging him on just 271 PA.. I'm judging him on his entire minor leauge career. He's not going to suddenly take off and be awesome. He's just not. He is who he is. Until he improves his...
.287 career OBP in 271 PAs, and based on his minor league numbers, he'll never achieve anything more than that. Getting lucky with a few pinch hit swings doesn't change the fact that he's not a very...
Yep, here comes all the nanny's looking for head protection. What a joke. Why don't you just wrap all these guys in bubblewrap, they might get hurt out there running into each other. It's...
If Gary constantly didn't let new listeners know there's a perfect game going on, he wouldn't be doing his job IMO. It has zero effect on the outcome, so why in the hell would it bother someone...
Wasn't being sarcastic. You notice it when someone misses more often than when they just make it and go on their merry way. Outcome bias. Nobody is jinxing anything and it's outrageous to even...
How would somebody who just got off work, who just turned on the radio know there's a perfect game going on in the 6th inning?
