Bullpen

[ClementRulez30]

Who do you think is a the best person in the bulllpen??? I think its Matt Mantie what about you? (Im New here)

[RedSoxRooter]

If it's faith, I have it in Timlin and Foulke (believe it or not). After that, it's Mantia.

 

I'll put Halama in the middle with Myers and Embree at the end.

 

Ask me about Arroyo if the time comes and I'll put him up there near the top.

I like Timlin i dont trust FOulke and i dislike Myers haha!! i like halama though!!

I can see why people are upset with Foulke. But really, it's not been as bad as people think. Look at today - bloop infield single, intentional walk, unintentional walk, and in the end he gives up a run to a great hitting team after the bases were loaded with no outs. He hasn't pitched since Sunday. He's still got the goods, he just needs a groove.

 

Give Foulke, Renteria and Millar some time for God's sake. The division isn't won in the first half of the season.

I havent thought Millar and Foulke this or last year!! I like Edgar though I know it ant won half the season i just dont think those two are great

Anyone else understand this?

[YankeesSuck05]

I'd ave to say Foulke and Timlin. I like Myers also, but Timlin and Foulke for me. Foulke might not be doing his great damage but hes not doing so bad now.

[Sizzlin22]

Foulke jsut had a rocky start he's still the great closer he's always been.

[Johnny_RedSox]

Sizzlin22 you make me laugh with your remarks

 

hahah your a funny guy!!

[Sizzlin22]

What about Foulke being good?

[ClementRulez30]

All right alls im saying is foulke is overpayed do you really think he is worth 1 million a year!!!

[sarasoxfan]

i think foulke is a real concern. He has lost his groove and doesnt appear to be imrpoving. He never seems to put too many strong games together and almost lost it again today.

The season isnt won in the first half it is won ion both the first and the second, and I dont think patience is a solution I think Mantei is.

 

As for millar the solution is olerud. As for bellhorn I suppose the solution is we have a horrible second basemen who occasionally doesnt strike out.

 

As for embree the solution is dont use him EVER.

[Sizzlin22]

Yes as a matter of fact I do

 

2000- 34 Saves

2001- 42 Saves

2002- 11 Saves *was he the closer that year?*

2003- 43 Saves

2004- 32 Saves

 

I would pay as much as he's getting payed now to put up numbers like that especially after the 2003 "closer by committee" year *shudders*

[ClementRulez30]

Wow i agree with sarasoxfan

I think Mantei is the best and Olerud is a good idea to replace millar!! Foulke needs to inprove he is in a bad grove!! I think we should move Meuller to second base and give Youkilis a shot at third!! and embree has been hurting them a bit!!

[Sizzlin22]

I would not trust Mantei in the closer situation not to mention Foulke does have 11 saves so far it could be a lot worse.

[ClementRulez30]

I didnt say he should be closer i just said he is a reliable reliever not a reliable closer!!!! Foulke has been saving them and blown alot too he just needs to calm down and pitch he has a lot on his mind about the world series last year!!!

[PeskysPole49]

Mantei, DA WAKE, Schilling when he isn't running his mouth, Clement, and my love for Arroyo is like a light switch.....constantly being moved from on to off. Myers....nah, Wells, Nah, everyone else is alright

[ClementRulez30]

Yeah Yeah!!! except wakefeild hasnt been himself lately!!

[sarasoxfan]

foulke has the highest batting average against in the entire american league and the second highest era, these are dismal stats, and I think he is a major problem. I dont care what he did last year or what he did in the past at all....He sucks right now.

And we need to find someone who can do the job before he blows one more game..in my opinion.

[BellhornLove]

Well, Foulke hasn't been Foulke this season... I hope he gets back to himself. We may have one of the worst bullpens in the league. I can't think of any solid releif pitcher we have.

[sarasoxfan]

oh man, I disagree...

 

Timlin has been fanatasic for the most part..mantei hasnt been too shabby either..myers hasn't been that bad...embree and foulke are pretty much in the same boat, sometimes good, often horrible.

[ClementRulez30]

Foulke and Embree havent been themselves at all this season!!! mantei and Timlin are right now there best relief pitchers in my opinion!!! Foulke and Embree might have done good in the past but they have been blowing games a lot!!

[Zenny]

We need to get rid of Embree. Trade him for a scrub 'spect or another middle reliever and promote Lenny DiNardo. Embree just has nothing right now.

[sarasoxfan]

whoa...we agree.

 

I like dinardo..

[ClementRulez30]

Ohh yeah Lenny did good last year i definetly agree with that!! Trade him for like round picks thats what i would do!

[stocker323]

You can't trade draft picks in baseball.

[Soxfan1]

Wow i agree with sarasoxfan

You don't hear that a lot (JK SSF)

 

Well I like halama timlin and fouke so far.

[schillingouttheks]

You only like Halama because he comes in when we are losing, and usually does well. I'm yet to see him come in when we are winning.
