  1. Hicks was a big blessing to the team--we're very lucky we got him when we did. There's no way the Cowser we saw last year could have matched what Hicks provided, even on defense and on the basepaths. You cite BABIP, but drawing 35 walks in 236 plate appearances was a huge self-earned positive.
  2. You said that with your arms folded mightily across your chest right?
  3. how did he look defensively? (Just came in.)
  4. Darn it, thought Ramon was going to deliver. OK, top of the lineup. Let's go Os!
  5. Inability to "rake from the get-go"--that would seem to be a good inefficiency for the Moneyballers to figure out.
  6. Maybe not when he's not looking good yet against righties even.
  7. I see that. Reality is cruel.
  8. I concur--once the great Yaz years were done, Rice was the hitter in the Boston lineup I dreaded the most.
  9. They probably find them sour
  10. Je me souviens!
  11. And Cowser looked clueless last year
  12. Yes, I was going to say--except that Trumbo wd not have even gone back that far and then flubbed the carom off the wall.
