    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Yes, this is exactly what I was trying to articulate just now. I was absolutely not seeing it that way. It’s probably frustrating for the regular Port Cellar crew to have to spell this out to those of us who are less knowledgeable about the game, but it is very helpful. I genuinely learn a lot...

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    I think this question is framed well, and it highlights the fact that I am a very emotional Celtics fan and as much as I love the game, I don’t understand it as well as the good posters here. There have been a lot of very good posts today that have helped me understand that while I was screaming...

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    It certainly was posted in all earnestness. And I have appreciated the answers from lots of our other good posters. I am feeling better about things. A little.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    You’re one of our very best posters here, and I am looking for reasons to remain upbeat after consecutive series in which the C’s appeared to play down to the level of severely depleted teams. I am heartened that you remain optimistic that we can win a championship, and I want you to help me...

    5/15 - G5 vs. CLE - Gentleman's Sweep

    The only thing more infuriating than the Celtics’ performance is this fucking play by play asshole. I literally hate everything about him.

    Chris Sale (plus $17mil) traded to Atlanta for Vaughn Grissom

    The logic of your argument boils down to: The Red Sox should stop trading for prospects who hit well in AAA because Bobby Dalbec didn’t pan out as a major league hitter.

    The Amazing Criswell

    That’s a good point. If his FIP were his ERA we’d be delighted with that kind of performance out of a scrap heap starting pitcher. Don’t know how much of this Breslow-Bailey pixie dust is just luck, but wow have their results this year been amazing so far.

    Chris Sale (plus $17mil) traded to Atlanta for Vaughn Grissom

    This is the craziest part of it. He had only 240 MLB plate appearances when the Sox traded for him. Even if he hadn’t gotten sick, he’s had a grand total of 33 plate appearances this season. That‘s an absurdly small sample size to be drawing any conclusions from. This board always freaks out...

    Chris Sale (plus $17mil) traded to Atlanta for Vaughn Grissom

    We also don’t know yet what Sale is going to be six weeks from now because of a very real and very recent injury history coupled with his age. But the deal, as many others have pointed out, wasn’t really about Sale.

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    Thanks guys. Not a fan.

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    Anyone know who this play by play announcer is? He’s driving me crazy. Feels like he’s the home announcer for the Cavs.

    Sox trade John Schreiber to KC for minor league right-hander David Sandlin

    Repeating that I am in love with Breslow and Bailey and their work, and repeating that they do appear to be better than Bloom was at maximizing pitcher performance. But how can we say that Bello and Pivetta were maxed out? I will give you Houck. No question there. But Bello’s season last year...

    Sox trade John Schreiber to KC for minor league right-hander David Sandlin

    But even by that measure, they did very well under Bloom. Pivetta turned it around after years of disappointment. Whitlock struggled with injuries but had stretches of brilliance. Crawford and, especially, Winckowski, were terrific as rookies. You yourself have argued persuasively that Bello was...

    Sox trade John Schreiber to KC for minor league right-hander David Sandlin

    Gonzalez made it to AA last year at 21, pitching his final 48 innings there. He had a 2.42 ERA, 11.73 k/9, and 1.14 whip. Walks were too high at 5.21/9 but they’re actually a tick higher this year at 5.74. His k/9 this year is even better than last year but his whip is about the same and his ERA...
