Not getting the job done is not getting the job done. Premier talent at that position would have made that play and with his athleticism I expect Benni to do so soon.Originally Posted by mvp 78
No need to dissect it all with multiple comparisons. He just needs work and experience.
"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
Pom Pom sucks. What a waste of a top pitching prospect.
Tied ball game!
Panda Express!!
Did I miss something? I don't care what the "sample" is, when your 1nd string catcher goes 7 fo 10, someone has bot to start paying attention. The numbers are kooky, but what matters the most is that he looks like a very confident hitter who is hitting strikes and letting ball go by. I expect chanhes will be made pretty soon.
Or, didn't anyone notice?
I was too kind toward Pomeranz. I did predict he wouldn't get to the 6th innings, but that was easy. What I couldn't see was two dingers to put the Rays up 5-4 after the Sox tied it.
I'm not so sure any more that he's a wuss. He did throw his glove in the dugout again after giving up the dinger and the single in the 5th. He's just lousy. His previous start was lucky.
This gets the Sox down to just one reliable starter. Even our Cy Young winner can't be counted on, not when he gave up 4 dingers and 8 runs in 4.1 innings, and Wright was worse. And ERod is still the same 'ol ERod.
This. Really stupid trade.
Priorities:
1. Yankees lose
2. Red Sox win
Professional athletes, of course, aren't wusses (unless you compare them to truly bad ass tough guys like us). As for the word "bum"-- I like it! So old-school. I can't believe anyone younger than me ever uses that word (for ref., I started watching the RS in the bad old days of Ted, Jackie Jensen, and Pearsall).
God Bless America is dumb.
Swinging bunts are great.
runs plz
Priorities:
1. Yankees lose
2. Red Sox win
I hate games like this when they only get 4 runs on 13 hits.
Priorities:
1. Yankees lose
2. Red Sox win
Mitch Moreland was a terrible signing! Overpaid!

Barnes is a bum tho. Real talk.
