Red Sox/MLB 2018 REGULAR SEASON III - 107-52 - 2018 AL EAST CHAMPS!!!!

[JRull86]

Nilan was a bit before my time, but I'd reckon a large part of that was because of the Hab connection, on top of just being an asshole.

But comparing Wil Cordero to Price is a tad overboard.

Codero was scum, and people that cheered him should be ashamed of themselves, though I'd reckon the vast majority had no idea. Even so, that's pathetic.

But as a fan, personally I could give two shits if Price wants to play nice with the media. Obviously he hasn't done himself any favors with reporters, and that's on him, but I literally could care less. As long as he plays well and is a good teammate, that's all I want. It's not like the entire team from 1-25 is full of unlikeable turds, far from it.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like Price either, mainly because he had John Lackey syndrome of making up excuses for bad performances instead of taking some type of ownership of it, but I'm going to root for the guy to succeed, because he's a massive piece for them to win. Whether as a starter or BP guy.

Couldn’t....couldn’t care less is what you mean.

We all want him to succeed.

Everyone has the right to be an a**hole every now and then. He abuses the privilege.

He's an MLB veteran and that's as softball of a question as it gets. For 30 mill a year you can attempt to act like a professional and give the fans some insight on pitching and ajustments. Pedro used to talk pitching a lot I remember.

Is anything more deceiving than Matt Barnes stats?

 

[McGarnagle]

Who's confident in Matt Barnes as our 8th inning guy in October?

I’m not confident in Matt Barnes as our 8th inning guy in spring training

 

[McGarnagle]

Did Barnes just let Kim Jong-un steal a base off him?

 

[McGarnagle]

cancel the season. Everybody's useless.

That nun in Chicago is better than Joe Kelly

Seriously. Has great numbers, but I get tense every time he enters the game.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Seriously. Has great numbers, but I get tense every time he enters the game.

And he like ALWAYS gets behind counts. Today was a perfect example. Getting behind 2-0 and 3-0 in a 1-0 game. Just throw strikes. He tried to f*** around with a splitter; flat and crushed out of the park. Next two batters he blew away with fastballs.

Just do what your good at and throw strikes.

Killer fastball for a penguin

 

[Kate08]

No it's not. I as a lifelong Red Sox fan want to not only see them win, but want to actually like the players they have on top of that. If they had a winning team but a bunch of asshats, it detracts from the winning.

The best examples I have are these: Chris Nilan on the Bruins. Love the team, hated the guy. Made me sick to see him wear a Bruin's sweater, and I certainly did not cheer for that loser. And Wil Cordero on the Sox. Beats his pregnant wife up with a telephone because she interrupted him, gets suspended, comes back and hits a game winning HR, and the crowd cheered for him. Not me. The guy was a dirt bag, regardless of the win or any big hit he may have gotten.

So yeah, it does matter if the player is a likable guy or is going out of his way to make sure everyone knows he hates it here. If he hates it so much, opt out. Stop taking the money and go somewhere you will be happy playing for.

He strikes me as the kind of guy that wouldn't be happy playing anywhere.

This is the exact correct point. He's getting $30 mill per year and this is part of his job. For that money, he has to do some Q&A with a group of people he doesn't care for, and he has to play for fans he doesn't like. I'm sure it sucks, but that's part of the deal. You make that kind of dough here, in a high profile/high pressure market, you don't get to be invisible. It's why you're getting that money to start with.

Complete and total opposite of Nate Eovaldi answered questions about his adjustments. Price blows.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

I could care less if Price is an ass or not. If he pitches like he's been pitching lately heading into the playoffs, really that's all anyone should care about.

So, the question I have is... just how much less could you care?

 

[bp13]

Love that picture. Can’t understand why 99% of society insists on getting that expression incorrect.

Bottles my mind.

You know what's funny, I get on people's cases for saying irregardless all the time, because it's not a f***ing word, and then I go and do that.

Woof.

I guess since I'm not a huge baseball fan, this is how I can contribute to the thread...

The highlight of the White Sox season





Nun throws a perfect strike in ceremonial first pitch at MLB game

 

[N o o d l e s]

Porcello looks useful tonight

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Already as many hits tonight off Kluber than in their last two games combined against TB.

Baseball...

 

[smithformeragent]

Took my old man to the game and he wanted to see some offense.
