Is Buchholz an Ace?

[jacksonianmarch]

You need to find a better line. While you may dislike the Yankees, they did have the best record in the AL. Hence, they did not suck, and saying so makes you sound retarded

[Behindenemylines]

I will not respect the $pankees accomlishments until they win without having the highest payroll in baseball. As far as I'm concern they bought the best record in the AL.

And we bought last place. How stupid is our team that it cost them $174 million? Most teams finish last for a lot less. We seriously overpaid.

Bump

Saw this coming

[mvp 78]

Is this like how Dojji bumps a Nava thread everytime he hits a HR?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Everyone does it, so it's not a rare thing to see anymore.

 

Buchholz is still not an ace, but he damn well pitched like one today. He's starting off the season very good, hopefully he keeps this up.

[mvp 78]

Only has two season with more than 100 innings, one of which was last year's abomination.

 

If he can stay healthy and show 2010 wasn't a fluke, wecan revisit this discussion.

To plagiarize the dark knight:

 

"He's the ace we deserve, but not the ace we need right now."

Was there anything quotable from the Dark Knight?

Oh.My.God.

Oh.My.God.

 

Please expand on this sir, I'd love to know why the "Oh. My. God." reaction?

[User Name]

Because The Dark Knight is like, the most quotable movie ever.

[mvp 78]

We really should stop this fighting, otherwise we'll miss the fireworks!

[mvp 78]

No.

 

Never seen Caddyshack?

[RedSoxNC84]

No.

 

Never seen Caddyshack?

 

Doesn't mean the dark knight isn't quotable however.

[User Name]

No.

 

Never seen Caddyshack?

 

Please. Not even close.

[a700hitter]

Godfather movies are the most quotable. The Dark Knight was garbage barely worth the time to watch. Caddyshack was pretty funny.

[mvp 78]

Please. Not even close.

 

You're kidding, right? If not, you may need to be checked out for a concussion.

Quotable, yes. Most quotable? Hell no.

Just because i've hit my head several times with heavy objects in the last few days is no reason to believe my judgement in the issue of movie quotability is at all impaired, my good sir.

You have my blessing.

I watched the movie, maybe "garbage" was a little strong but in the history of movies, it is not a top movie in any regard. As far as hitting me, you could never lay a glove on me.

Ace or no ace the Sox starting pitching is why the team has started the way they have. The Sox will only be as good as their starting pitching.

this.

 

dominant when buch and lester pitcher

 

struggle when other 3 pitch.

In five starts,

 

Lackey gave up 2 ER

Dempster gave up 1 ER, and 3 ER.

Aceves gave up 2 ER

Doubront gave up 3 ER.

 

So, in summary, I think this point is silly.

Not to mention the strikeouts are definitely there with the other 3. Dempster has K'd 15 in 10 IP. Lackey K'd 8 in 4.1, Doubront K'd 6 in 5. Lester's K/9 is the lowest of the whole staff.

 

Buchholz is a great pitcher, but I feel he is more like the Buchholz who pitched in his first start, than the one who pitched today.

[dupree]

I watched the game today and i hope we get that Buch more often than not but im not getting my hopes up. He pitched a gem today against a team that didnt K a lot wished he could of got another no-hitter but still a dominant performance.

 

Also as far as quotable movies go... Anchorman or Talladega Nights, any Will Ferrell movie is always the most quotable

[RedSoxNC84]

Dempster has now struck out 25 over 17IP. K machine.
