Just give me a walk or two. That’s all. Just get on base a couple times.

Drew leadoff

I’m all in for it, or at the very least he should hit 2nd. He’s too good right now to bat low in the order.

If we didn't have Youk

I’d be okay with Morneau in our team. I think that even with that MVP award, he’s somewhat underrated.

Crazy idea

Should we see what the Royals might want for Miguel Olivo?

He’s been throwing out runners like crazy, hitting relatively well, and has a reasonable club option for next season.

He doesn’t block pitches well, if THT’s WP+PB/G data can be trusted as a barometer.

Does anyone think Varitek could (re)learn to catch Wake? Maybe he catches Wake and Daisuke (another one with a propensity to uncork some wild ones) and Olivo catches Becks, Lester, and Buch? Is this too strange an idea?

"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"

by Allen Chace on Jul 7, 2008 7:37 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Any offensive upgrade at catcher would be great ...

as long as it isn’t too expensive.

As for Wake, I’m not sure.

by Drugs Delaney on Jul 7, 2008 7:40 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

That's why Olivo would be the target.

He’s no spring chicken, and hasn’t been phenomenal, but has been better than both of our catching options at the plate. Doesn’t seem like he should cost anything terribly significant.

Sure.

But Bowden and Buch etc. have been thrown around for all the Texas kids. This guy is less club/cost-controlled and not as highly-regarded. But still performing better than our craptastica situation. I feel like I’m being most unfair to Kevin Cash here.

I’m not saying he’d be gotten for “nothing” but it wouldn’t be someone we’d almost definitely regret a few years down the line.

All three were good pitches.

But ESPN’s k-zone showed they were right on the edge of the zone, with two that could’ve been called outside the zone.

All of that’s really to Mo’s credit.

You just cannot have 1/3 of the hitting order incompetent and win too many.

Scoring opportunities only come around a few times in most good games, and just six decent hitters cannot bring home the bacon often enough to win enough games to be champions! Having such inept hitters in the 7,8,9 places in the order just kills this limited momentum and prevents champions. Count on it.

I mean why not at least scatter these three bozos throughout the order if they have to be in there so that there isn’t such a dead space with the three hitting one after another. At least try that, but better would be to get rid of at least Lugo and Crisp and maybe consider Varitek for retirement after this year!

Here's the question.

Does anyone think Lugo would’ve thrown out Gardner last night?

I know he’d have been much more likely to come up with the ball.

"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"

He would’ve stopped the ball and possibly prevented the winning run from coming around.

I don't think NY would have scored a run on that play with Lugo still on the field

However, Paps should have tried to get Cano at 2nd on the bunt. I know that dude is fast, but it was an AWFUL bunt.

KC actually had a lead going into the bottom of the ninth but Soria gave up a HR to Pena. KC won it in extras, yup.

There are some teams I know absolutely nothing about so have decided to assume the old guys are still playing there

KC; Pitt; MN ( what was the slugger’s name from the 80’s or 90’s- Hrbek?).. the Marlins… I have to do a checklist …. am pretty sure Beckett & Lowell dont play for them any more…

Whether he’s missed out on some of the credit for Granderson being so good out there. Guy can go out and get all of it out there.
