soxfan121 said:Felger used the opening half hour to review almost everything Mazz has been saying this season about the Red Sox, point by point, and demolished him. "But you said they had an OF problem..." "But you said that proven talent is better than prospects..." "But you said power is important..." "But you said they might be cutting salary to under $100M..."
Mazz's only refuge is "pitching is important...who's pitching?"
Buffalo Head said:Agreed. Felger, Gasper and Keefer Madness would make for a good permanent cast.
soxfan121 said:And today, no Mazz. Gasper, and a good show, instead.
I second this. I look forward to this show every week.NortheasternPJ said:Bertrand and Gasper is the best sports show on the station.
Dalton Jones said:Bertrand is intelligent, rational and level headed. He'll never make it in radio.....
That was fantastic. They should just stop talking that guys calls.Harry Hooper said:
He just flushed Danny from Quincy, just awesome.
Klostrophobic said:This year he certainly has been, but if you include just last year as well in your definition of him, he's not top 10 by most any metric.
Ranks for 2013 and 2014 combined among IP qualified pitchers (i'm lazy, so these are MLB-wide and not just AL specific):
ERA: 25
xFIP: 33
FIP: 20
NDame616 said:Bertrand opened up baseball reporters talking about how he is resigned to the fact that if we trade for Stanton, Cespedes will be going back to Miami. That'll clear up the OF situation if we bring him in. I was disappointed that he actually thought Miami would want Cespedes...he's usually better than that
Not that this is the place for the discussion, but on the main board someone suggested that Cespedes would be moved to Miami and it was emphatically shot down as being a ridiculous thought. I agree, as they wouldn't want an expensive (for them) 30year old OF who is going into free agency. If they are selling Stanton, there is 0 need for Cespedes.wutang112878 said:
I think it was Tomasse who had a good point on this (cant believe I wrote that), that if we trade for Stanton the main pieces would be the prospects we sent over, but Cespedes might be the finishing touch to give them an OF who is MLB ready and can directly replace Stanton. I wonder if this is what he meant by wanting him.

That isn't very crazy at all. They had pretty comparable seasons last year, there is a case to be made that Luck had the better season.southshoresoxfan said:Luck will be better than Brady this season. Good lord.
Please. If Brady has a healthy Amendola and Gronkowski, he'll far outplay Luck. I'd bet money that Brady has more yards, more TDs, and less INTs than Luck.Cellar-Door said:That isn't very crazy at all.

Brady is aging, Luck is probably not in his prime yet. Brady would have to show a significant return to form for it to be crazy to think Luck will be as good or better.
Probably, if he has much better weapons he'll be better, also the Patriots throw more and are a better team than the Colts so yards and probably TDs are a given.RedOctober3829 said:Please.
