9/1 @ LA Angels

[TylerD]

Porcello is s***, but he makes up for it in quantity...is that what you mean?

 

He isn’t s***. He’s having a bad year. And yes he usually always gives us 6 and somewhat of a chance to win.

 

More than I can say for price. I’m sick of him and his bitch injuries. It’s not his fault whatever. Get the f*** out of here. I want a pitcher that is reliable.

[illinoisredsox]

Well I would not actually call it babying as much as it is too much focus on only two aspects of pitching to the detriment of everything else. Velo and spin rate preferred to command and and the offshoot is they can't go innings and they break down too early and often.

 

They end up "babied" but they are in the Majors by the time that happens. Before that they are being groomed to be what MLB wants them to be....pitchers that give their Managars all they have for every pitch until they can't go any longer in a stint and that is simply wrongheaded. It is actually much worse than pointing hitters at launch angle because you are not going to physically damage a hitter pointing him at a launch angle swing.

 

Starters used to pace themselves through games and they are no longer taught to do that and hence....no longer do that. They don't even know how any longer.

 

You have to wonder how much “modern” thinking would have messed with guys like Greg Maddox or Tom Glavine.

Have to say it....the EEI crew is so much more informative than OB and all his nonsense about what Red Sox player is leading the league in some stat or another for the last three Wednesdays IF there is a full moon that night. Remy has turned irritating as well.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Strange that the SOX throwing has handcuffed Trout.

You can have him....the Sox won't be signing him again. His ERA this year is 5.42 with an ERA+ of 90. The only reason he gives us a chance to win is because his team routinely scores runs in bundles for him. Price has sucked too..for Price. Both suck. Price is still ours; Porcello is history.

And Sale hasn't given up any runs in weeks.

Would have messed with those two guys something fierce. For one thing there is every chance that as soon as they could not conform to this nonsense they would have been considered "not good enough" and we would never have seen nor heard from them again. In Glavin's case, maybe not at all.

Verlander threw 120+ pitches today and all the 'experts' are concerned about his future outings. Somewhere Nolan Ryan is laughing.

[jung]

And I should acknowledge that whatever sparse "quality" there is in the bulk of MLB pitchers has now been totally destroyed by the Manfred Missile which has been the very definition of the "straw that broke the camel's back".

He's probably laughing in Toronto.

Unfortunately we are stuck with Bridle Price

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It appears Travis peaked a couple weeks ago.

[jung]

I actually am beginning to wonder if MLB chastising Verlander at the ASG was as much acknowledgement that MLB does not want their "secret to get out". Verlander should have just told them their pants were already down around their ankles and their asses were already hanging out in the breeze.

Always remember an expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less.

 

Verlander was in a rocking chair after the 1st. He walked the second batter of the game and then retired 26 in a row. Total dominance.

I would take Verlander at 40 over Price now lol.

[bosoxmal]

I don't care how hard this kid Weber throws, I love the way he finds the plate!

[Swiharts Ghost]

I'm here for moral support .The Bullpen has been remarkable besides Brasier.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Benny cannot be such a dip s*** in this position we need great at bats here on in from everyone

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A parachute should be attached to VAZ's BA.

[Swiharts Ghost]

How in the hell is Sam Travis and Gork the dork on this team never mind starting a pivotal game ? Maybe we care more about winning this year than the team .

maybe time to really think about cashing out on Vaz while he has some value .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The 'team' didn't make out the line-up.

[Swiharts Ghost]

[Swiharts Ghost]

Cora and Dave are freaking idiots this year the bigger the game the shittier they manage let's get this win no matter there idiocy

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Long ago it was "Spahn and Sain and pray for rain." This year for the SOX it's "E-rod and pray for a monsoon."

[Swiharts Ghost]
