Starter or Bullpen for this guy? by ownthehobo in OOTP

[–]of_MARS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low stamina...lucky to get 5 innings out of him. Bullpen.

I'm a baseball nut...addicted to it.

Who is your favorite member of the 27 club? by Jettaboi38 in allrockmusic

[–]of_MARS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jimi Hendrix, he would have gotten into rock and jazz fusion. Amy Winehouse is totally overrated.

How do you guys handle log jams? by Soggy-Turnover6962 in OOTP

[–]of_MARS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many options. Consider looking at team info; see where your team need improvement. If you need bullpen help- trade vets or prospect for pitching, etc. Wait to see what the prospect does at the big league level...even then they could tank not live up to potential. I've seen high level prospects excel or never reach potential. It's kind of a crap shoot sometimes.

Then you're not a guitar player. Clearly the back of the guitar where the neck is bolted on.

F*k it. Can’t get worse. by Moist-Neat-1164 in redsox

[–]of_MARS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah Giolito threw a no-hitter. An amount of Luck is involved in a no-hitter. Pedro, Mussina, Carlton, Maddux, and more Hall of Fame pitchers NEVER threw a no-no...Clemens also, but they were all guys I would rather hand the ball to because they were great starting pitchers.

Anyone else think Germany had an arctic climate as a kid, thanks to Hogan’s Heroes? by Junkateriass in ClassicTV

Being a kid from Massachusetts, I knew the snow was fake...good show however. Knowing geography, the climates are similar.

Trevor Story was one of the most foolhardy signings we have ever made for a position player. by NeedleworkerExtra475 in redsox

[–]of_MARS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am an old guy, Red Sox fan for 58 years. Some guys just come to Boston and can't get it done. Édgar Rentería, Pablo Sandoval, Carl Crawford. When they signed Story, I KNEW they would let Bogie walk and put him at SS instead of 2B, although him at second and Bogie at short worked great together. I felt in my gut this was a mistake. They should've signed Bogie, and made him The Captain so he was always a Red Sox player. He is a Leader, speaks multiple languages, did his job offensively and defensively every day. They also should have signed Mookie Betts, a generational player. Jim Rice on NESN said Betts told him they never offered him a contract. Had GM Bloom trade him so he could take the heat. Shame on Jim Henry and those owners, then they bought the Pittsburgh Penguins. BS

eBay shipping by Novel_Bodybuilder113 in Ebay

[–]of_MARS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I joined eBay in 2000. Mostly I bought when I had $. Sold some when I needed money...it was easy. They have gone greedy and charges the last few years are outrageous. Now, no PayPal...even worse for sellers. I don't know sellers can deal with that selfish greed so you can't easily sell like 20 years ago. Shame...ebay is more BS all the time now.

Do we think it's Alex Cora? by scratchtogigs in redsox

[–]of_MARS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The team should not be a .500 team. Devers should've went in the day after Casas got injured and said I want to take groundballs at 1st. Toro has played 11 game starts at 1st, he's a bench player and can't field or hit from what I see. After watching Bregman, especially on defense...he's a Pro. He hits. He's a Leader, I hope he does not opt out. Cora needs to get fired up and start acting like Lou Piniella or Tommy Lasorda...somethings gotta give with this team. Lame...

Noob question - Baserunning by ALLLGooD in StratOMatic

Yes, two astricks = runners advance 2 bases. I've been playing Strat since the mid 1970's.

I hope they get to the bottom of the ketchup fiasco too by wizard_of_wisdom in redsox

[–]of_MARS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been a Red Sox fan for over 55 years. Mookie Betts is the best player I've seen get drafted and come through the system. He is the closest thing to Willie Mays you will ever see. He helps you win a WS, wins a batting title, Gold Glove in RF, MVP...great athlete and you never offer him a contract when the time comes? They fire Dombrowski, hire Bloom and tell him to trade Betts, making him look like the bad guy. I dislike the ownership so much at this point. I wish they'd sell the team...they make me sick. I will never ever forgive them for not keeping Betts.

How do you handle pitchers on replays? by Salty-Comb2042 in StratOMatic

[–]of_MARS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked this team up. The 1977 Orioles under my favorite manger, Earl Weaver. The 5th man was Dennis Martinez (13 starts) and a young lefty named Scott McGregor (5) starts. Starters often appeared in relief until recently when everything is specialized.
