No you did not. You were asked to behave. Their is a difference and you were certainly vindicated. But you still have made us promises. I think we have lived up to our end of the bargain.

Agree you could tell from his first post he had nothing.

Well, it lets you buy a left-fielder too. There is that.

Quick ? for you

Johnson 10.8m and Nate 4m

or

New Closer 6 or 7m and Nate 4m

Which plan would you take?

Honest? Though I fear change. I am up for it. I was done with Johnson. At least with the new "closer" when he stinks the joint up, Dan can move up someone else to close. At 11 million that never happens.

He said "Orioles will trade JJ, sign Mujica. Book it." That is a little different that saying O's are interested in Mujica along with a bunch of other teams. It still has to happen but I am curious to see if it does. If it happens, to me that is more than a lucky guess.

I promise you, no one knows at this moment that the Orioles will definitely get Mujica. And a couple days ago? Preposterous. It's the bet I would place though. You did not answer my right or left hand question BTW.

Nevermind.

Does this mean Houston or is it slang for like, hustling/working out? Or does he live around Houston and he's just visiting? Or none of the above, stop trying to read into every tweet? :)

Hot Stove in the Twitter age is hilarious. Who ever thought we would be sitting here analyzing Parker Bridwell's tweets?

He was a very good source. I bet he hated it up there last year. He'll get fired too when the place goes up in flames. I liked him. Cool guy.

He's not very fond of Toronto. It's just the next step on the way to becoming a Head Coach in this league. Myself and a few guys that played for him are besides ourselves as to why he hasn't had an opportunity yet. He will get one, I have no doubt about it. Just wondering why it's taking so long.

For anyone who says maybe he doesn't interview well. That is furthest from the truth.

Sox,

Does he know Duquette at all? I seem to remember you saying that he and DD were with the Sox together. Is that accurate?

Thanks.

That is 100% accurate. Duquette hired Hale to be an Minor League OF instructor back at the end of 1992 with the Red Sox. He was there coaching the OF's when I was in Instructional League that year. Him and I were close because he knew the scout that scouted me very well and was told to look out after me lol.

    • 1:2 is good.  Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.  
    • https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40027950/ravens-pick-nate-wiggins-nfl-draft-dabo-swinney-text  
    • Was reading Wiggins write up on ESPN. He appears to be more of a home run threat than Koolaid. He had a pick 6 each of the last 2 years.  
    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
