Comment on: Tired complaints about the NBA hold no merit after Game 6 -Celtics blog - Boston Globe basketball news
Complaining about bad officiating does not preclude the game from being great. How could you even defend that non-call on Ginobili? Just because he took on 4 defenders, does not mean he could not h more »

Comment on: Julien says there are "lots of options" with Campbell out - bruins blog - Boston Globe hockey news
I would shift Kelly to center Paille and Thornton. Then Soderberg centering Seguin and Peverley. Kelly is a similar player to Campbell, so it would hopefully be the least disturbance the the 4th lin more »

Comment on: Five thoughts on Bruins-Penguins Game 3 - Touching All the Bases - Boston.com
What a game! I am still hyperventilating from last night. What impressed me about Rask is how he is always in position. He does not look flashy. Everything looks easy as if the puck just luckily hit more »

Good point. Somehow that author forgot that Martha Speaks would be one of a million kids books characters if not for the PBS exposure.

Having said that, I understand Bogaerts' inclusion as light-hearted reference it was intended to be. No complaint about it here. Hope he continues to progress.

You realize that readers can write what they want on these boards, not what you want, right? If they want to complain about including Xander Bogaerts in the power rankings, they have every right to d more »

Comment on: Jose Iglesias and the mirage of progress - Touching All the Bases - Boston.com
I agreed on small sample size. I said the high BABIP tells us nothing on whether he will stay an effective MLB hitter. You can drop his BABIP by 200 points and he would still be an elite SS if he ke more »

You are way off. You might disagree with his conclusions or the weighing of the factors he considers, but Chad is one of the most thoughtfully analytical writers. He always has reasoned opinions.

No. Ted Williams' BABIP was .429 which was just as anomalistic, as it would be for anybody with a high average. Of course, I am not conparing Iglesias to TW. Duh! The point was that Chad was makin more »

Chad, About Horton, it was not only the Panthers that labeled him someone with "no heartbeat". Most of us thought so during the regular season. Both him and Lucic look like different players once th more »

Thanks for the good read, Chad. The first game in in Pit was a bit fortunate (with the open play in the first 2 periods), but that second game was really impressive. They played their system with suc more »

Comment on: Ask Nick: Why is Gomes hitting second? - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
What would make anybody think that Middlebrooks starting job is safe? His track record is just too short. He showed a lot of power, but also a lot of wiffs. He is not the first players to show suc more »

Comment on: Jose Iglesias and the mirage of progress - Touching All the Bases - Boston.com
Chad, While I agree that Iglesias' numbers are due to small sample size, you cannot use a high BABIP that way. You are making a circular argument. For players with less power, high Average necessari more »

Comment on: Whom would you rather have: Bradley or Shumpert? -Celtics blog - Boston Globe basketball news
I voted for Bradley, but only because we don't know about Shumpert's ACL prognosis.

Comment on: Red Sox considering Iglesias for bench role - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
I don't think Middlebrooks has enough of a track record to warrants keeping his starting job when he comes back off the DL. Obviously, Iglesias is the better defensive player, so they should ride his more »

Comment on: Five thoughts on Bruins-Penguins opener - Touching All the Bases - Boston.com
Chad, This victory was nothing like "straight from the blueprint". They are furtunate (and thanks for Rask) not to be down by a few goals the first period. The first period was wide open and went p more »

Agree. Besides, Cooke punched through Krug's check while on his way to hit McQuaid. He was very determined to board him. Marchand's hit, while a penalty, was just a mid-ice hit that just happen more »

His 4 seamer was 89 to 91, topping at 92 yesterday. I have to see more outtings where he shows success pitching at this velocity before I believe that he can be consistently successful pitching this more »

Comment on: Skillful performance by Torey Krug, Bruins - Touching All the Bases - Boston.com
Quite impressive. I was so wrong about him, based on what I saw his first time up. I did not expect much, and I am happy I was so wrong. And, I am also impressed about his maturity level. If you more »
