schilling's next start

[ARod2212]

Hey, I'm not accusing you. But I would expect youself and a number of NY memebers that have been around for awhile to try and steer the discussion back to the topic. As you know, I have repect and value the opinions of the members of this site. I'm not saying who started it in any given instance. It just gets seriously old when the same damn arguments are prevelent in just about every thread. If you or 26-6 or someone else makes a good point, you shouldn't be given a response like you don't know anything cause you're a dumbass Yankee's fan. I mean it like DFA's and pick-ups, its a great move when the Sox do it. But if the Yank's do it they're scrapping the bottom of the barrel. In reality, both teams are looking to fill a need from the available talent that is jermain to their unique situation. I quess what I'm trying to say is that when I go looking to read and discuss a subject named in a thread, I find it annoying as hell in find the same damn " discussion " ( usually by the same people ) yielding no new information, points-of-view, or definative conclusion.

Point taken, well said.

 

On that theme, will we see Schilling next weekend? If the offense is clicking, it will be the best barometer of how Schilling has progressed.

Every single post was about Boston until this one.

 

 

 

We don't bring our team into the conversation about 95% of the time the threads get turned. If the topic is brought up mid thread, then we'll defend our position. However, we are hardly changing everything into a Yankee thread.

BTW, this response was brought on by numerous baits by AlexanderTheGreat13 and once there was a response there was Yankee talk thereafter. None of which had anything to do with the thread's topic.

I hope so. Talk is great, but at sometime you have to walk the walk.

I posted this post over in the "Schilling's 2nd Start" thread, but since we have to create a new thread for each one of his starts, nobody read it. I thought some of you might find this interesting. Some of you may have heard in the media that Curt was posting on a Sox board last year. The board was SoSH (sonsofsamhorn.com). I registered to read the threads over there (I'm not a full member because I didn't feel like submitting an "application" email). I guess Curt is still making a few posts over there because I found this late Friday night after the first O's game:

 

Interesting thread. Was heading to bed and happened by while logging out of EQ

The media hoopla over posting here was more trouble than it was worth. I'd much rather do the give and take here, like we had it last year, but there was and is way too much drama involved for everyone.

Couple things. Hindsight is never wrong, and coming back in April was wrong, but the team could only go on what I told them and I thought I could make it work. Obviously I couldn't and didn't.

That being said, and I know alot of people jumped off this bandwagon months ago, and even more so since then, and yet even more don't want to hear it, but the ankle doesn't hurt, and mobility wise it's fine. Velocity is fine as well. If you watch the 2 starts I have made, almost every single well struck ball is on a hanging split, the exception being Lugo's triple which was a horrid location mistake. The split is the main issue right now, and I will hold off commenting further on it until I see whether or not the work over the last 2 days has paid off on Monday. Consistent location is a byproduct of work, mine is not nearly as sharp as it can be, but its ok and getting better.

I can sit here and tell you I think, honestly think, I can be myself, the sub 7.00 ERA guy again, and by again I mean before this years over, but that really won't mean a whole lot, it's all about going out and getting it done over the next 8 weeks, so that's where it stands on my end.

BTW, I do a weekly radio show on EEI, no need to forward this to them if you are a poster or an observer here. And if you are print media, 162 games a year, for the last 2 years, I have been at the same locker..........

 

It was in a thread called "Let's talk about Curt Schilling".

[empirestrikesback26]

If I was a sox fan, I would not be encouraged by this start either.

[riverside sluggers]

sox did not lose this game beacuse of curt, it was because the offense was quieted until too late with 2 outs in the 9th

[YANKEESRULE]

Actually it was because of Curt. He threw pitches and the White Sox hit them to score. Your offense had nothing to do with it, you were just dominated by a superior pitcher who shut down your bats. I'm sorry to me you can talk all you want and as much as you want him to be great again, he wasn't. He was good for the first 3 or 4 innings, but then we saw the same o'l Schilling in the middle innings.

[schillingouttheks]

The same ol' Schilling you are referring to is actually the abnormal Schilling. With each start he has, his velocity goes up (today, consistent around 92-95 with his fastball) and he was hitting his spots very well. Let's not forget that the White Sox are also the best team in the AL (record wise, and Ozzie Guillen plays a lot of smart small-ball). He's only going to get better. It's not only going to take 4, 5 starts for him to get better. Time is essential. After todays solid performance, against a very well-rounded Chicago ball club, I would expect a good amount of success in his next start, against the Yanks

[AnibalJonJon]

IMHO Schilling should be shut down for the rest of the year. Give it a try next spring no.38 ....

IMO...you're jumping on him too early...like a lot of people.

 

NO.

[riverside sluggers]

schillingouttheKs go over to his post about varitek, he's not a red sox fan at heart, just a bandwagoner

The White Sox are also one of the weaker offenses in the league, their pitching carries them. And like you said, it will take more than just 4 or 5 starts to get him back, so how can you be so sure he will have good success against the Yankees, the best adjusted offense in the AL? :dunno:

[schillingouttheks]

^^That's true, I just checked statistics. So I guess I'm banking on time then, eh? lol. I still have faith in his capabilities.

 

And Riverside, yeah lol, I posted in that thread then came over here to see this crap.

[riverside sluggers]

ah well still a 3 game lead, Im not gonna get ahead of myself, will be taking one game at a time. Tomorrow is Game 1 against the Angels, Wakefield vs Lackey

[schillingouttheks]

Do we face that kid Santana again? Was fun watching him pitch.

[riverside sluggers]

oh yea, Bronson vs Santana on game 2

[RedRuffing15]

This is going to be hard with Schilling, hes obviously not playing like he should, loss-ND-loss vs teams tthat aren't even top-notch

 

and his next start will be agenst the Yankees, he needs to do something...fast

[MC Hammer]

How can you say the best team in the AL isn't top-notch?

 

I like what he did today. I like the velocity getting better. I'm not worried about him at all. Whoever said he should be shutdown for the season should be bound, gagged, and thrown in the nearest river.

[RedRuffing15]

I'm not saying the ChiSox are th only one

 

Read through the start of this topic, It shows everyone saying how the White Sox are on a decline, bad hitting team, gunna get rocked, whatever iot was

 

I'm just trying to say what you guys are saying for my defense now, that shouldn't be needed

 

Whatever, you really should understand what I mean

 

 

and not for anything, but you should never like what you see when its a loss

[riverside sluggers]

how about wakefield who went 8 strong innings limiting pittsburgh to runs in a 2-0 defeat? the offense just didnt step up today as was that game

[MC Hammer]

Wins and losses have little to do with the pitcher most days. I know the Sox are averaging more than 4 runs a game so technically Curt set the team up for a win. Anyway these are still rehab starts for him so I don't care if we get a W when he takes the mound right now. I only care about his performance.

[RedRuffing15]

I can understand what your saying, but with only 28 days kleft and the hardest schedual in theleage, and only a 3 game lead on thge Yankees, W's re what ya need

[sarasoxfan]

I thought schilling looked a lot better today and undoubtedly MC will provide us with a list of unbearable stats to prove it.

 

that skinny f*** on the white sox pitched better, though and so what, schilling's is on the road back, he has made me a believer and I might add foulke looked really good as well, he was moving the ball in side and outside hitting the target, good job by both guys. If there was such a thing as a good loss this was it. Plus, this team doesnt give up...3 runs in the ninth..I hate losing but I didnt mind as much today for those reasons.

[riverside sluggers]

Foulke is promising in his first 2 relief appearances since he came back, including baltimore has pitched 2 innings giving up 1 hit, 1 K--His location is his old self, he just needs to get his velocity up, which is right now at 87/88

You say that like it's a bad thing

[YANKEESRULE]

I meant the same O'l Schilling since he's been back from the DL. I can't help myself I can't stand the media whore so when he falters I love it.

[riverside sluggers]

regardless dude, each start that passes he gets better. 4 runs is fewset he has allowed in a start now, is throwing a lot more pitches and went into the 7th inning today. His velocity is up to 94/95, and location just needs to be tweaked. yest the schilling of ole' did make couple appearances. In 3rd inning gave off a leadoff triple, but then retired the next 3 batters to stop a run from scoring. All he needs is confidence and web gems defense behind him and he's bound to get better as Seotember pennant push goes along... its a fact

I hate how everyone calls him a media whore. Is it his fault that reporters ask him questions? Is it his fault congress called him in? Is it his fault the media loves him? Look up at the banner on the site before you start bashing Red Sox ... it says Talksox ... not Talkyankees.

I guess calling in morning talk shows on his own is not trying to get attention when he was injured. He couldn't stand not being in the spotlight when he was injured so he took it upon himself to call these shows and say "Hey i'm still around!!". He's been that way is whole career, it has nothing to do with what team he plays for. that whole bloody sock thing was a farce anyway. If your bleeding usually the spot will enlarge and not be in the shape of a square. Now I'm not saying it wasn't real blood, but if he was bleeding the spot would have gotten bigger and the stain would've been a big non shaped stain. I think he did that to make him a immortal. It's s*** like that I can't stand about the guy. Why did he testifie on steroids like his fat ass ever took them. The onlt thing he takes is dunkin Doughnuts. Sorry I'll get off my soapbox now.

[schillingouttheks]

Yeah, I'm sure he used ketchup on that sock. Are you some doctor? Do you really know if that blood was still wet? If it was a dry spot, then no, the spot would not enlarge. And the spot wasn't a f***ing square, it wasn't meant to be even if it looked like one. And so what if it was? It's not impossible to have a shaped bloodstain you know.
