9/1 vs. Yankees

[Reck]

Man you can see Pedroia just wants to run some more. Calm down. lol

[Flynnatic10]

He doesn't

 

He did for that play.

[BornToRun]

And a700, may I ask what you mean about peripheals not counting? I'm still getting used to using all these new statistics. Took me a while to get away from using ERA a lot

[BornToRun]

It'd be nice for Carl to come through here.

[iortiz]

Exchange CC's and Peddy's contracts!

[a700hitter]

He did for that play.

He is a smart base runner. He gets a good jump and he accelerates quickly, but he isn't very fast.

[Reck]

No DPs please!!!

[NativeBostonian]

Come on now. Let's make something out of the guys on base.

He should be fast. He's shorter than most players, which is less gravity on him = more speed.

[BornToRun]

My one gripe with CC, it's 0-2 every damn AB.

[a700hitter]

And a700' date=' may I ask what you mean about peripheals not counting? I'm still getting used to using all these new statistics. Took me a while to get away from using ERA a lot [/quote']In the end, all that counts for a pitcher is the number of runs that he lets cross the plate. All of the other peripherals are just indicators of how well he should be able to accomplish that task. Aceves is one of those guys who will not give in to guys who can hurt him and he'd rather walk them or hit them. He gets it accomplished in a different way than other pitchers.

A.J. Burnett should have been gone a long time ago. The Red Sox helped him out all night.

[MNSoxChief102]

God damn it Crawford

[Flynnatic10]

Dammit Crawford! Your making me suck in fantasy baseball!

[a700hitter]

He should be fast. He's shorter than most players' date=' which is less gravity on him = more speed.[/quote']Little legs= more steps.

[TedWilliams101]

But being smaller also means he has shorter legs, thus a smaller stride. Small stride = less speed.

[a700hitter]

I'm pissed that we might have helped straighten him out.

[NativeBostonian]

Can we send CC back to Tampa, our should I say st pete.

[BornToRun]

Crawford would be so much better if he were just a bit more patient. He needs to take more pitches. I'm sure he's gonna turn himself around but it still isn't fun to watch.

[Flynnatic10]

Little legs= more steps.

 

And that too.

Yea I realized that after I posted that.

How about we send him up to VT and the other parts destroyed by the hurricane and force him to donate the ridiculous amount of money we gave him to the relief effort. Then we could finally talk about how much positive work he does.

[Palodios]

Granderson broke his wrist!!!!

[Flynnatic10]

Dammit granderson!

[BornToRun]

Still not as good as Ellsbury.

[d-money]

Not scoring enough runs

[MNSoxChief102]

Granderson broke his wrist!!!!

 

No f***ing way... that would be a godsend for us and horrific beyond belief for the Yanks

[NativeBostonian]

Wow, caps off to that catch.

Won't work. Dice-k gave a few million to the Japanese relief fund, and everyone still was hammering him.

Its called wishful thinking
