9/1 @ A's

[mvp 78]

Aceves is being made into garbage by being overpitched.

 

Dick Radatz is rolling over in his grave.

[DocHolliday]

Looking at 0-5 on this road trip, 10 losses in 13 games.

 

Again, unless they start to win some games, V may not make the trip back with the team from the west coast.

[SoxSport]

If I were Henry, I would offer Billy Beane the Moon and half of Mars to run the team in Boston.

V is a wounded animal who should be put out of his misery.

[wyo-sox]

The entire pen has been made into garbage by over pitching, and its because of the terrible starting pitching, not V's doing.

[mvp 78]

At what point do you root for a no hitter?

[SoxSport]

Dick Radatz is rolling over in his grave.

 

Radatz never had to do what Aceves has done this year. He has been all over the map.

He is now being used to empty the garbage.

 

Radatz was about 6 foot 5 and 260 lbs. Strictly a closer. Sidearmer.Overpowering for a few years, but didn't last. Most of these guys don't last.

I like this.

When it's against the Yankees

[Brennan]

Where does this year's team rank for average innings per game per starting pitcher? Anyone know?

Part of the problem is they use relievers when they don't have to--like when they are comfortably ahead. No sense in using 4 relievers to win 8-1. These guys wear out from a ton of 1 inning appearances where they throw 20-30 pitches heating up in the BP.

Why would he leave Oakland now if he didn't leave 10 years ago when Henry made the offer then?

[wyo-sox]

Wow. See ya Alfredo, goodbye.

[Station 13]

Aceves does as he please.

Maybe a small part, but I'd say the historically weak starting rotation that usually has us behind in the first inning is the real issue.

[SoxSport]

Ever hear the story where Radatz was paid big bucks to go up to a hotel room and throw oranges at a guy's ass? Read that somewhere.

[wyo-sox]

This ain't baseball. Good night brethren of the board.

[SoxSport]

Well... Mars wasn't available then.

1964 - 157innings in 79 games

 

You don't get there without being "all over the map" or as "strictly a closer."

[SoxSport]

Yeah... something really wrong when they give up a lot of runs early. Lead the majors in that. Probably the coaching or preparation.

[3rdManOut]

Wow it doesn't even look like they are trying out there right now. This is bad and its only the 5th inning.

[kapsis21]

Beckett pitching like an ace in dodgers uniform. Figures.

wow. Closers pitched more than one inning in those days. Radatz might pitch the last 2 or 3 innings. Fingers and Sutter were like that.

 

Radatz was the original "Monster" --before the LF wall was called the Green Monster.

 

He was Dick "Monster" Radatz.

[Brennan]

Beckett pitching like an ace in dodgers uniform. Figures.

 

 

He'll go on the 15 day DL tomorrow.

Yet he only got 29 saves that year. Not simply a closer.

[Station 13]

If Aceves lives during Shakespeare time, he would plot to kill everyone.

[mvp 78]

83 pitches through 5. Not an ace. His last start wasn't ace-like either.

[Station 13]

It's tough to pick up the ball off Griffen.

[Station 13]

Jacoby quit pulling everything.

[3rdManOut]

Yep we just got very lucky with that run comming in people. Maybe that ump feels sorry for us hu?
