Sox get Peavy

[a700hitter]

That must be scary for you considering how often I'm way out on a limb.

But sometimes way out on a limb is dead on point. LOL!!

See what I mean? You can't take either criticism or a friendly warning without bristling. Anything directed at you that is not obsequiously complimentary gets challenged as if I insulted your mother.

 

Honestly I'm surprised your hackles aren't completely worn out at this point.

 

I'm not asking for your criticism. Why should i? I can take reasonable criticism from someone who's not jumping out of the blue with a completely unfair and asinine comment. Again, where are you when a700 is pulling his s***? He can't help himself, and you're just fueling his ego.

 

I have not had bickering issues in this site with anyone other than a700/iortiz, and i'm not the only one. Seriously, give it a rest. In fact, i'll just put both you and him on ignore, since it's not like i wanna read nonsense about KC players anyways. Have a nice day.

[Dojji]

if we can only accept the criticism we ask for, there's a word for that.

 

"Oversensitive," I believe it is. Feel free to correct me if you feel I'm wrong, since I'm sure you will do anyway.

 

If I took criticism anywhere nearly as bad as you do I'd be long gone, since that seems to be all I get around here.

Dojji, you are the best yeti I've ever spoken to before, but we all know you don't have anything else better to do.

Group hug goddamnit

 

Oh hell no. I know I'd be the first to be shanked when not looking.

[italstallianion]

On the other hand if I ignored someone on here just for being a total dick, I'd probably only be able to talk to Yankees228, and even then I'd have to ignore myself in the process. Overall I think each poster here is above that, and certainly more than the occasional tendency to be rude.

You'd also be able to talk to Palodios and Bellhorn04

 

Oh, and Spudboy on the rare occasions that he posts.

Pffft you couldn't even protect Taylor from being mocked by an avatar portraying her with a beard.

I almost understood that. Someone needs to either drink a little more or a little less.

 

More seriously, since I (finally!) got a job about a year ago,* I haven't been here as often, mostly to try to pick up news on the team. I'm at work during all non-day games, and when I am home, I'm tired or looking to unwind, not get into arguments. Working evenings sucks, but hey, it's work, and that's a lot better than I used to be. I'll still out with the odd crackpot theory, but I'm definitely nowhere near as active a force here as I used to be.

 

*one year and 6 days. It's like an alcoholic that's trying to go clean, I know how many days it was since I last drew food stamps.

If being a total dick was grounds for being completely ignored, no one would've spoken to me once in the last 5 years.

[Dojji]

I think there's levels of dickishness. We're all going to superficially resemble dicks from time to time, but if someone is schlonging along for most of his time here, it might be time to tell him to put it away.

Well it's all Ben's fault. He shouldn't be pissing so much excellence.

Dojji, congrats on the job. I remember you were struggling with trying to get one a while back. You definitely have been around a lot less. As for being a yeti, that was your description of why you couldn't got to Fenway (i.e. being shaped like a yeti). I thought it was endearing, though not as endearing as you turning schlong into a verb.

You're really looking at the possibility of a Dubyah slap here.

If you were a Truman, you wouldn't Polk each other's Bush like this.

I posted this as a link last night, but i think it went unnoticed:

 

Jake Peavy (70)

 

Pos: RHP (Starter)

 

Fastball: 65

Changeup: 75

Command/Control: 70

Cutter: 55

Curveball: 45

Delivery: 55

 

Pitch #1: Fastball, low 90’s velocity. Has arm-side run and sink to it, as it changes plains and moves late. Doesn’t bite hard but moves late which makes it tough to barrel up. Has great command and control over it, isn’t afraid to elevate it but can control it in all directions. Does a great job of getting it in under the hands of right-handed hitters.

 

Pitch #2: Changeup, low 80’s velocity. Has great up and down movement with arm-side run. Maintains great arm speed with it, as it moves late and has some bite to it. Likes to use it as a strikeout pitch. Has filthy movement that freezes hitters, a plus plus pitch.

 

Pitch #3: Cutter, mid to high 80’s velocity. Has late cut to it, and changes plains slightly. Has good biting movement to it. Has good command over it, getting consistent break. Controls it well, mainly using it to the first base side of the plate against both lefties and righties.

 

Pitch #4: Curveball, high 70’s velocity. 12-6 movement, that also has a bit of sweep to it as it reaches the plate. The 12-6 movement isn’t all that late, but the sweep is fairly late. Doesn’t use it much, likes to use it to start at bats in an effort to freeze hitters.

 

Delivery: Letter high leg lift with an over the head glove rock, followed by a glove tap when he brings his hands down. Sort of jumps towards the plate, with his upper body and head going directly towards the plate. Has good deception as he throws his glove hand out front erratically. Not the easiest delivery to repeat, it doesn’t require max effort but does put strain on his shoulder. Throws from a three quarters arm slot, and doesn’t fall off all that much. Stands on the first base side of the rubber. From the stretch, uses a belt high leg lift and quickens his delivery, maintains the glove tap.

 

Control: Has great command and control over all of his pitches. Can throw in all directions, but does leave the ball over the plate on occasion. A strong strikeout pitcher, just below a strikeout per inning. Doesn’t walk all that many, but struggles with giving up too many homeruns (which US Cellular Field is only partially responsible for). Much stronger against right-handed hitters.

 

Poise: Unflappable veteran who has seen it all and has the self confidence to overcome adversity. Not bothered by runners or big hitters. Has the attitude of a #1 pitcher and has filled that role extremely well in the past. A bulldog on the mound who isn’t afraid to pound the zone and throw inside to hitters.

 

Physical Description: Muscular and athletic frame. Has great weight distribution with strong muscle definition. Broad shoulders and strong chest, with large thighs and lower body. Could still add some weight, but is not necessary. No concern over adding bad weight in the future.

 

Projection: A top half of the rotation veteran, who has battled injuries over the past several years. When healthy is a legitimate #2 pitcher on a contending team. Capable of eating innings, racking up strike outs and contending for All-Star teams. In his prime was a perennial Cy Young contender, but those days are behind him. Could still be a major trade deadline acquisition for a team this year.
