Bump in the road for Beckett. Cause for concern for your team making the post-season.

[Paradisecity]

6.32 ERA in August. On books for 70 million dollars more. Sky is falling.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

[BoSox21]

Thread of the year.

[jacksonianmarch]

Only the thread of the yr if you were a moron. Cmon now, everyone loves to deflect. Burnett had a clunker August 1st. Then he had 3 straight strong starts (21.2IP 17H 6ER 10BB 18K), then had a clunker this weekend. The funny thing is, Burnett hasnt put two clunkers together all season. Beckett did it at the end of April and again right in the thick of the pennant race

You fail to mention that Beckett was the best pitcher in the game in between those bad starts in April and August.

[jacksonianmarch]

He was. Absolutely, he was nearing Pedro territory dominant. Which is why there is cause for concern IMO. Burnett has been hot and cold all yr. He's had really nice runs of QS's (11 of 12 coming into the sox game) and then had a clunker mixed in with a struggling start, mixed in with a dominant start. Beckett went from being completely hittable to being Cy Young material and now back to completely hittable again. This was the basis of my post. Not that he sucked now. But that he went from such a high level of competition to such a low level immediately and as the burden and workload just starts to peak.

[jacksonianmarch]

Denial.

 

Not sure if you know what that word means. Read the post

Burnett's still owed 70 million and he's sucking ass.

 

If you don't think the sky is falling you're either in denial or a f***ing hypocrite given the idiotic thread you started in the Sox forum.

9 hits or more allowed in 3 of his last 5 starts. Didn't see the games but people said he looked crappy.

It's gratifying to see everyone is such good spirits today.

 

I, for one, am concerned about Beckett.

 

Why has he suddenly gone from lights-out dominant to Smoltz-suck? Why all the gopher balls?

 

Is it one pitch that is giving trouble like a flat, straight FB as an example? All kidding aside, what do you all think is going on with our ace?

It's mechanical.

 

He's not arching his back enough and everything's high.

 

It'll be corrected.

But three games of it?

 

Why has it not been corrected yet?

It's not that easy.

 

Beckett's very stubborn, so it's hard to make him leave bad habits.
