Rick Porcello will make more money this year and next year combined than Bedard made in his entire career. That's crazy.

It's not that crazy. Porcello has been extremely durable and reliable. Bedard was neither, although he was a spectacular pitcher during his very short peak.

I absolutely loved watching Bedard pitch for us in 2006-07.

I remember it was a start against either the White Sox or Marlins in the summer of '06 that he finally seemed to "get it" and put everything together, and the next year and a half was awesome.

Wasn't a fan of the whole him pulling himself from games, though. IIRC the 15 K game against Texas was the only CG he threw.

He averaged 6.5 IP/start in 2007. I don't think we've had a pitcher average that high since then.

I always admired Bedard's frankness ...... not just with the press, but with his manager(s) in regard to when he felt that he was done for the day, and would not likely be effective if he were to continue pitching.

I remember when he took himself out of a game in 2013 in which he had a no-hitter going in the 7th inning. He was at 109 pitches, and he told his manager that he was done when he came out for a mound visit.

After the game, an ESPN reporter asked Bedard what went on with him and his manager at the conference on the mound when he came out of the game. Bedard said, "I told him that I'm done." When the ESPN reporter asked him to elaborate and to tell him what exactly what it was that he said to his manager, Bedard said, "I'm done."

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?

      I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?

      Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.

      Again, I'm not sure what the point of contention is. They won 91 games and lost in the Wildcard round.  That puts them smack in the middle of what I forecast as their most likely outcome, though I did hope for more playoff success.  I'm not sure how that is proof I misevaluated anything. Further, again, lecturing me about the importance of depth, when I'm one of the biggest hoarders on this board, and you're one of the biggest opposite of that, is ironic to say the least.

      Aaron Judge whined about it so I’m a fan.  The older I get, the more I think people just exist to look for confirmation biases. In all avenues of life. Paul Simon wrote “a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” I’m sure if we beat the Royals and advanced and Walltimore robbed three or four homers from the Royals, we’d be extolling its virtues and how great it is.    But that didn’t happen. If anything, there were a couple instances where, if anything, it worked against us.    So here we are.

      I mean I wouldn’t be concerned about her opinions on which FA to sign or which players are best. But, she’s definitely a big fan and is just passing off info given to her. If it didn’t track into some other things that make sense, I wouldn’t pay it much mind. Of course, someone with an agenda could’ve just told her those things to spread rumors. Maybe Rick Dempsey haha.

      Do you think any team is too stupid to account for home park dimensions when evaluating pitchers?
