    No, apparently this isn't "boneheadedness", it's aggressiveness that is encouraged by JF & Co.

    Facetious I presume. Its stupidity. Vasquez did the same thing, trying to steal 3B with nobody out.

    But that wasn't aggressive. It was just plain lazy. How can Holt NOT look to see where the throw is going when it's right in front of him? He went in casually standing up where if he's seen the play he'd have known to slide and been safe.
    It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.

    Yes, totally facetious. I'm the self appointed leader of the expose the excessive boneheadedness club.

    Maybe he didn't go in hard because of the score. Maybe. But still, that is some bad base running.

    If you're not going to go in hard, then just stop at 2nd.

    Plus, the play is in front of you.

    We can make the game short with our bullpen after 6 innings. Hopefully we can get the good starting pitching and timely hitting come the playoffs.

    That's my thought exactly. Yes, we'd be relying on our BP to come though, but aren't we relying on everyone to come through?

    Surely. I just hope to see a better effort than last year come the playoffs . Houston or Cleveland are very good teams but they're beatable. Stealing that first game's always huge.

    This.

    I can't handle back to back sweeps in the playoffs.

    I certainly hope we see a better outing from the Sox than we did last year, Last year's playoff team looked lackluster to me. Maybe it was because the Sox were facing better pitching but still.... I hope for more.
