  1. Not this year if they are in contention. If he does not perform they will have to sit him. K after K meaningless hr. in a blow out , rally killer d.p. cause he cant run. It may be over. I saw his A.B. when he wiffed on a fast ball .like he has arthritis ,it was too fast for him. If you cant get around on a heater you are done.
  2. I think some of this analysis is good when pre game planning. But with the rule change about relief pitchers having to pitch to 3 batters or finish up an inning you really cant go lefty righty like in the old days. Now as far as telling pitchers that so and so cant hit a low and away sinker after a high and in fastball. That is ok. Now with the mound visits and time clock the game has sped up . In my opinion its good and bad. I liked the moves like Billy and Sparky, and Earl made.
  3. To all who are resonding on this # retirement . I think Frank Crosetti wore #2 . I remember him as a 3rd.base coach . He played S.S. for the Yanks for 17 years and coached another 20 years. He was on 17 W.S. winning teams as player and coach and 23 teams that played in the series. his # was not retired .back in the day the only players #'s that were retired were 3,4,and 5 , then Micks #7 I believe. After that it seems they retired everybody. Now is # 9 for Roger Maris only or does Nettles have his name on that honor. Crap ,Jackson who playe only five years with the Yanks has his # 44 retired . Mostly for jacking 3 hrs. in a W.S. game and being on the back page of the Daily news every day.
  4. Nettles and Chambliss came over from a Trade with the INDIANS . Willie came from a trade with the Pirates. Hardly Hired Guns as they all had long Yankee carreers . Willie batted lead off ,he walked alot. All three were key components in the Seasons and playoffs and W.S. Chriss with the walkoff vs. K.C. and Mark Littel. Craig vs. the Dodgers with the Glove. As far as Torre getting #6 retired I think that was a little weak. A plaque Eh OK. Number 6 should have ben saved for the next young home grown star.
  5. Transom mount rod holder would be hard to get to as I have the European type transom. If you look at the photo of the boat you will see a port side transom door, starboard side wash up freshwater sink cutting board. and the stern seat that flips up to a removable fish well and access to the bildge. It is what it is I would rather have a full transom with a Armstrong type engine bracket and a side gunnel boarding door . As far as trolling for Striped bass I am fine ,I have that down to my likeing . it is for Tuna and higher speeds where there is alot more pressure on the equipment. So the rod holder has to be heavy duty not some Walleye type plastic deal that holds a light duty fresh water rod.
  6. Thank You , I will look into this system or something else Rupp might have.
  7. Yeah brilliant is right. Like making car payments on a car that you wrecked with no insurance to cover the damage. I remember they did the same thing twith david Justice.
  8. So will that lead the way to move Oswald or Oswaldo for a package for a top of the line type arm ?
  9. Yeah i saw that yesterday on the Yes and Mike kay show. Joe will do a limited ammount of games. he is good at that. better than Beltran and Mayben thats for sure. last week my back yard was loaded with Robins and a few blue Jays .They moved on. Days are getting longer finally some sun. Once the Super Bowl week is over it will be dead for me with sports untill Spring training games . Time to get some rigs and jigs made up ,Then get the shrink wrap off polish and load up for the Spring Bass run. It might be an early spring besides the ground hog the ground never got a deep frost this year by me.
  10. 20 years ago when I fished for trout and Salmon in Lake Ontario I used all of the above downriggers , dipsy divers , planer boards . we were trolling 3 mph. in a lake which at times was flat calm. I was using Shimano down rigger rods with charter speacials and 25 lb. mono. dragging Rapalas , Northern King flutter spoons , J plugs , same type of fishing but much lighter equipment and much slower boat speed. Tuna fishing 30 wide 50 lb. line, Nomad deep diving plugs. 5 -6 knots .As for adjustable type plastic swivel rod holder I have made up a double rod holder that fits into by mid gunnel rod holder .i use it for drift fishing for fluke .
  11. My boat is a Pursuit walk around. I have a hardtop with 5 rod holders ,To reach then i need to stand on my tippy toes or a boarding step stool. The stern of the boat has a European transom with a nice bench seat that lifts up with a large fish box with a macerater . There is no room for a dead center rod holder that I would use for a way back. Forget about me buying outriggers .I do have outrodders. I had a pair of rod holders now just one of a double rod holder that I used at times for drift fishing for fluke. I tried putting in a 30 wide for a way back and when it was hit it got bent beyond use. If i fish alone 3 rods are all I want to have when a fish hits . A way back a mid way and a close up . Rookie fire drills I dont need. with 5 six rods and a fish or 2 criss crossing .
  12. As if Not getting Hader is bad enough he goes to the Stros ,maybe he gets to close out the Yanks in the ninth of the 7th game striking out Judge, Soto and Rizzo. Oh what a nightmare.
  13. Without going a custom .is there a rod holder with say the port side that would let you set the rod to go straight down the center and have the other side at the normal degree . mainly to troll 3 ,4,or 5 rods tops. on a 25 ft. walk around. for Tuna
  14. Just saw the tail end of the Marcus Stroman presser. He spoke well ,all the cliche ,man he is tatooed up. lotta ink. Hope he can pitch and keep his composure. From i saw of him in the past he has a short fuse.
