    Yeah..."the problem with the bullpen is the starters" is pretty bad reasoning, IMO. And trading away one of the few fairly reliable pieces of that bullpen wasn't going to help the starting staff, now was it?

    As long as Polanco gets two chances at every play, he's ok at SS. And just how slow IS Mauer, anyway?

    That's some odd logic. What does that even mean? Does it mean the bullpen is fine when you only have to use the best 1 or 2 relievers? Does it mean Kintzler shouldn't have been traded, since he was primarily used when the starter did his job?

    Nice job, DtD!

    Plenty of posts over the past couple years berating Dozier, and others, for being too pull happy. Demanding he "go with the pitch." Being too "oppo happy" isn't any better. He hasn't had an .800 OPS for four years now. Teams abandon RF against him. If he's so good, why can't he adjust?

    Mauer. Way to go.

    I don't understand...if Gee is coming out anyway, why does he pitch to Donaldson? If he's out of gas, he shouldn't start the inning. If he's not out of gas, why take him out?

    To be clear, I have no problem with dropping a bunt for a hit on occasion. In fact, I think our LH hitters should do so more often against extreme shifts. But while bunting for a hit has its place, and probably has secondary benefits by forcing infielders to play where they'd rather not, bunts are not automatic, they don't move runners more than one base, and they should be used sparingly.
  10. USAFChief
    Runners moved up, for one thing.

    Seems like that should be true, but Mauer, career at Fenway: 143 PAs .260/.343/.417 .760 OPS, 14 XBHs. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.fcgi?id=mauerjo01&year=Career&t=b I think the LFer playing shallow actually hurts him. On the other hand, it's only 143 PAs, so who knows?

    His inability to pull the ball definately hurts his power. Most home runs are pulled, that's just the mechanics and physics of baseball. If you're ok with that, fine. But don't pretend that's not the case.

    Dude...I gotcha a fresh serving. See one post up.

  22. USAFChief
    Dunno. I can't look at them long enough to tell.
