    With several lefties after the first batter, he's not a crazy choice.
  2. ashbury
    If someone would inform the Twins' batters, they could relay the message to him.

    According to Jerry Remy, someone named Naver is playing left field.

    Noooooo! Don't take away my Like!

    MauE3r. / ruled a basehit.

    I'm not sure what 1 game will do, unless you're thinking he's dogging it somehow and needs an attitude readjustment. Maybe a 15-day DL stint - Doctor Ashbury is diagnosing bilateral cerebral cortex weakness, carrying over from last season's concussion.
  7. ashbury
    Did not go according to plan.
  8. ashbury
    Pitch count's high though. Sixth inning is not being kind to him.
  9. ashbury
    DoziE4r.

    The NESN broadcast team I'm listening to is pretty good. Don Orsillo on PBP with Jerry Remy doing color. The accent by Remy is as thick as the local chowdah. They like their Sox but not obnoxiously. I'm enjoying.

    Hope he's not violating some Unwritten Rule of Baseball by doing this.

    This game would be a lot different if Pedroia wasn't out there.
  13. ashbury
    If he does, he could have himself a home run.
  14. ashbury
    That's The Ticket.

    Who expected Fenway to host a series of pitching duels?
  16. ashbury
    Hard to believe both Fryer and the Florimonster would both strike out looking.
  17. ashbury
    Nice. I'm not normally a C&W fan, but when it's heavier on the W like this, it's not so hard to take.
  18. ashbury
    This is not five words.
  19. ashbury
    Apparently so. It's now 2-0.
  20. ashbury
    Wonder if the Sox would accept Florimon in exchange for Brock Holt?

    There's a jump from AAA to majors, no question, but I'm not sure it's much if any bigger than the jump from high-A to AA or from AA to AAA. At least, my impression is that if (in the aggregate) you move AA players to AAA in the same season they lose roughly .100 of OPS points, and about the same figure applies to going from AAA to majors. I don't have any studies to point to, and maybe there are newer studies than when I formed this opinion. The second half of your comment seems pretty congruent with what I was saying. Yesterday I left out what I also meant to say, that Gardy's first paragraph could be construed as a rambling version of "don't mess with a guy's career by depending on Small Sample Size". Who knew Gardy was such a statistician!
  22. ashbury
    Gardy's not the most articulate guy, but he's not a dope either. He went the long way around to say that at levels below the majors, you have to blend the stats of what actually happens with the judgements of the coaches who are watching the individual pitches. If the pitcher is making "his" pitches over and over all the while with good deception, and if the batter is laying off the pitches in the dirt while taking a good swing at the ones he should handle, then the coach/manager down there will report that, and they are ready. Stats that are (potentially) built up by taking advantage of those opponents who execute correctly less often, count for less. (Not all that different in spirit from stats like BABIP and xFIP at the major league level, but with a visual element added.) At least, that's my take.
  23. ashbury
    Not bad having Morales as your last chance after Mauer and Hammer come up empty.
  24. ashbury
    This Koji chump looks ripe for the picking.
  25. ashbury
    So you're saying he was dogging it last year in normal situations?
