For a while, it looked like just about everyone was suffering from the sticky fingers crackdown.

 

I'm not sure it was all related to that.

 

Richards was wild and unpredictable before sticky fingergate.

 

His leash is shortening with every piss-poor start.

 

Richards was sticky fingers before Spydertac. Spydertac is just that much more effective than everything he used before that. He had made no bones about being a sticky fingers for years.

 

The vaunted NESN broadcast crew started the show saying that "the Red Sox say Richards has found something"

 

What did he find....his car keys....a plane ticket outta' town maybe.

Again, I'm not doubting the sticky fingers stuff.

 

I just said maybe that was not the only reason he has sucked, recently. His numbers before the crackdown showed some alarming issues.

Well, if the SOX didn't have the worst farm system for starting pitching in MLB, Richards would be history. And it's been the worst for a long time. Edited by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

He was rushing his motion on occasion. That does not work for him either. However that is a problem he has proven he can solve in game after somebody comes out and tells him to stop.

 

The first time he did it he got lit up so badly that they had no choice but to pull him from the game and crank up the drawing board.

 

I will be surprised if he pitches well enough to stay in the rotation. Paying him too much to boot him off the team. IMO we are destined for a continuing rendition of "The Red Sox say he found something"

If Richards gets his turn next time, I want Cora fired......it's that bad. He has no business pitching for awhile.

While agree, he should not start again for a while, don't go all ghost on us, here.
