I agree that he probably won't age well, and I wouldn't sign him to an extension. But to think his production will be easily replaced is wishful thinking.
I agree. While I thik they wouldn't get a lot for him in a trade, I do not think he would be easily replaced.

He isnt a typical rookie. Its fine, we just dont agree that playing in front of 6000 people in Toledo is the same as playing in front of 35,000 people at Fenway Park. Opinions are like noses, everyone has one. 😆
I remember your opinion of McGonigle was not very good in Spring training. You didn't think he was ready.

I don't know that Greene is a star. But his bat is important and will not be that easy to replace. 119 wRC+ as a 22-year old, 134 as a 23-year old, and 145 through 100 games last year. Everyone remembers the last 60 games when he slumped, but the 260 games before that he definitely performed at an All-Star level. I'm surprised at how quickly this board has turned against. He wouldn't be the first guy to suffer through a 2-3 month slump but then right the ship in a big way. Way too early to give up the on the guy.
yes, he is a good hitter when he gets going, but he has peaked as a fielder, so he's going to have to hit a lot to retain his value. He is stiff and injury prone and seems like someone who will not age well which is one of the main reasons I think he wouldn't bring much back in a trade.

And he wouldn't be nervous in his ML debut. Every game is the same, it's all just a baseball game.
McGonigle wasn't.

The park can affect pitching and hitting and even left field defense (because of the wall). It is not relevant to third base defense though.

Jose Soriano has entered the conversation with Skenes and Skubal.
Dazzles again tonight. This has got to be the best 5 game stretch for a pitcher in maybe ever.
32.2 IP
11 H
1 ER
13 BB
39 K
0.22 ERA
A solo HR from Drake Baldwin is the only run he’s given up in 5 starts.
He has been awesome, but the best five game stretch ever would have to have more than 32.2 IP.

Next major deal? Harris doesn't make major deals.
True, but he didn't sign major free agents either...until he got Valdez.
The bigger problem is that they aren't going to get anything major for Greene. He's got some value to a team, but he's not a star and he'll be getting more expensive.

Why is everybody talking about me? You ask me how I am doing and then you tell me I am not ready. What's going on?

Fake win for the Red Sox. I stiil can not get myself to care much about the extra inning games. I mean I'd rather see them win than lose, but as soon as it became impossible for the Tigers to win in regulation, I Iost interest in following the game.

I agree about the combination of public and private sources of aid being the best way to help with social services and aid. Sadly over the years the feeling that the poor don't deserve any kind of help has seemed to become more and more common.
But the wealthy can get as much as they want.

I've been a runner in the Boston area for 50 years and even I haven't run the Boston Marathon. The logistics of getting there and getting out does not sound fun. Most people I know have run it which makes it seem like not a big deal to me. I prefer the low key races.

The people I grew up with in NH were mostly traditional conservatives. When they said they wanted government out, they meant it-and would take it upon themselves to make sure those who needed help got it from other community members.
And religion was a private, personal subject that you only discussed in church.
So we didn't agree on how to accomplish some things, but we often wanted the same things.
I can respect that kind of thinking, although I don't think it can work in highly populated areas. What I can't respect is the support for fascism and theocracy that I am seeing all over the place.

On the facebook feed of a good friend, I saw several of her friends saying God supports the war and that God chose Trump to save America. Just two degrees of separation away from these lunatics. That is creepy.
I mean they live in New Hampshire, but still...
On the other hand, a lot of religious posters in that thread are disgusted with him. That picture seems to have struck a nerve.

I've long liked her. They need characters like her in that party.
I like her too and I dislike most politicians.

Holy moly I missed all of this because I spent the last 30 minutes trying to get mlb.com to admit that I existed. They suddenly decided that my phone number was different than it’s been for 20 years that my password was different. I spent 20 minutes or so online with a really great customer service guy by the way and finally got it all resolved and I just assumed we’ve lost this game.
That sounds like what usually happens to me.

Wow, what a finish! I did not see that coming. Thought for sure Greene would strike out.

Another home run for Trout today. That is five home runs in the series, the most ever in one series for a visting player in Yankee Stadium.
-
As for Ohtani, if he isn't talked about enough(don't know if that's true), it could be because he is surreal. There has never been anybody who was a great hitter and pitcher at the same time. I think Ruth could have done it if they had a DH when he played.

Just asking because the conversation right up to your post was about Mike Trout, and he did have a potential claim to that at one time.
This thread is taking some strange turns.
First, Trout's career is over. Then he's the greatest player in the history of the game.

Another home run by Trout tonight. His 6th homer. He now has a 166 wRC+ His career is over.

Without Javy’s slide being overturned—without his heady swim move around Salvy’s tag attempt—he’s called out and we’re still watching baseball right now.
Without Perez's home run, we are still watching baseball now too. Maybe not me! But everyone else would be.

Maybe he got a note. Thankfully Dan didn’t get the same note.
BTW, here to say Javy’s slide was arguably the difference between winning and losing. For sure, it’s the reason we’re celebrating a win at this very moment instead of watching yet another inning.
Awesome slide by Baez, but Perez's home run was also the difference.
