yes I guess if it’s purely a math game then you’re correct and i’m wrong. god I truly hope that you aren’t right, if that decision was made with somehow factoring the “on fire” variable.:

Who said this? I never saw anyone write that on this site? or heard that on the radio or TV. Did anyone actually think Jennings production would match CC’s? Was there anything in his minor league record to suggest he would? I think most people expected he would be an excellent defender and baserunner and hit around .270/340/.420. He has fallen slighly short of expectations with the bat but otherwie has matched expectations.

“What Jennings earns has nothing to do with his performance which will remain below Carl Crawford for many years (forever).

Well that is true unless you include 2011 and 2012. Are you seriously suggesting CC was better than Crawford either year. Oh yeah and this year even with Crawford’s higher BA, It is Jennings who has score and driven in more runs.

Look, I like Crawford. He was one of the true joys to watch from 2001-2010 and is currently the greatest Ray ever but there is no way he was worth what the Sox paid him. Crawford admits the contract was a disaster.

We refute everything you say with facts but you just make more dumb predictions. You double down on bad choices and ignore the financial realities.

I hope someone else in your house pays the bills because you are clueless when it comes to simple math.

Friedman couldn’t handle Hamilton So he GAVE hime away…..good business but expensive for the Rays..

That is your spot for very good tickets from season ticket holders.

Joey Batts needed to get a hit to end the game and his career BA is .254, if he walks Bautista, Encarncion can end the game with a hit OR a walk. For this reason I believe Maddon made the correct move pitching to Bautista.

You’ll be able to do well there (must stay on the west sidewalk or the cops will sometimes shoo you away if too close to the home plate box office).
