The lost thing I hadn t

The lost thing

I hadn t thought about the shift the team has taken over the last few years from divas, to a little more blue collar guys. It does make sense that our need for a manager who can handle egos might have lessened, so I guess I see your point on that. However, one of Tito s strengths that seems to be ignored by his critics is the calm in which he handles the job. Despite all of the shouting from the media and fans!, he stays the course, and I think that is a strength. Look at Pedroia in his first full season, or Papi in his last two seasons. Not a lot of managers would have stuck it out with those guys, and in hindsight, it has been the right call Maybe there ARE better options out there in terms of in-game management, but I always worry that a new manager will come to Boston and get eaten alive off the field. And as for Ellsbury, I agree that he is a good, but not star player. And yes, we could have seen higher returns for him in a trade before this injury plagued season. But the past is the past, and to get rid of him now would be completely selling low. We can t let the sunk cost of not trading him last offseason, force our hand this offseason. Your point regarding a change-in-tide as far as the makeup of our team and how it lessens the impact of Terry s best managerial qualities is something I had planned on addressing in part two very good point. And yes, the late pulls and negativity from the fans perspective isn t new to this year, and maybe it hasn t necessarily worsened, but I would say it s at least become a more discussed topic that would be a better way to put it: IT hasn t increased, but the attention towards it has. I wonder how interested in Buck the Red Sox would have been had Tito s contract been up this season and the O s didn t scoop him up. I think he woulda been a great fit in Boston. Really solid in-game manager and would have been great with the media and any big personality players that would have been left. In 1979, he hit his first career home years before his birth. He once swung at a pitch and missed, just to see how it felt. He is the only player in history to record more hits than plate appearances. He is, the most talented man in baseball. I dont always swing, but when I do, I produce lasers. Dustin Pedroia, 250% strength by volume. Please pitch responsibly. tito is best with the young guys pre-arbitration. not many coaches win 90 games why? i do not know. 90 wins in mlb is equivalent to 9 wins in the nfl big deal. some sort of voodoo jinxed paradigm i guess. he stuck with pedroia and has him playing much better at the major league level than at anywhere else, not including little league. he accepted a relatively long term contract for less than he the lost thing would have made on the open market, years later. ditto with lester and youk. none of these 3 would have signed in advance if it wasn t for enjoying to play for the sox and my guess that strongly includes tito as coach. patience seems to work very the lost thing in baseball, both with the clowns and the rooks. buch the lost thing have been thrown to the wolves prior to this season. back in april i would have cut vmart and beltre. nancy would never have been playing rf. well that s another day. use of the pen may be due to the pitching coach name escapes me. who knows.
