  1. LOL, he hits him. Talking about failing to recognize your opportunity there. Just throw a strike and you win that matchup.
  2. The only wood he should be handling these days is a product of Viagra.
  3. 1st pitch outs, fabulous.
  4. Still have a lead if he pitches to Abreu (most likely).
  5. Weak, Beckett. It's isn't '06 in Yankee Stadium with that stupid short porch. Challenge him.
  6. http://cdn1.sbnation.com/imported_assets/618478/major-league-theyre-shitty_medium.jpg
  7. Yeah, and Gonzalez swings at the first pitch out of the zone.....with Marco f***ing Scutaro hitting behind him.
  8. Takahashi must have come up through the same player development system in Japan as Matsuzaka.
  9. He walked the ferret. Boo.
  10. Don't walk this ferret.
  11. Everyone ready for your regularly scheduled serving of Varitoast?
  12. Works him for 10 pitches, then bounces into a DP. Would have been a good AB if he didn't make 2 outs.
  13. Sanka, yuck?
  14. The run value of a single is about .25, so that's 30 plays below average, where he didn't make a range out, or about one a week over the full season. That's about the same as the difference between a .260 and .300 hitter, and is generally considered one of those things that you just don't notice through pure observation. Is it possible that you just missed that one play per week that he didn't make, especially when, since you watch so many of the Yankee's game, you don't see a whole lot of the other players out there establishing the average?
  15. Maybe, maybe not. Baseball is a funny game. Pitchers with poor command sometimes get by with "effective wildness". Cookies down the middle get missed. Anything can happen in a small sample, and it doesn't get much smaller than one game. If we faced him all 162 games, a lot of what you are suggesting would likely come true. But one night of baseball? Anybody's guess.
  16. And I'm saying his ERA isn't even worthy of noting, and particularly of attempting to dismantle, at this point. After two games, it's a meaningless number.
  17. He's made two starts. None of those stats are particlarly meaningful at this point. Bottom line, we don't know what to expect.
  18. Judge Smails would approve his membership application at Bushwood CC.
  19. Kalish had to be helped off the field today during the PawSox game by a trainer holding his arm after making a diving catch.
  20. You are allowed to, but winning streaks are observed here. Following a win, the next gamethread is made by the same person. Following a loss, it's open season.
  21. The gods of mojo have spoken. Some people aren't listening. They have ignored the warnings. Their hubris requires a sacrafice. That other "thread", the one that insults the mighty and all powerful gods of mojo, must be striken down. It must be smoted. I call upon the shaman of Talksox to vanquish that thread to nether regions of the interwebs. Slay the lamb to appease the gods. We've seen the first full cycle of the rotation with good performances from the SP. Time for Beckett to set the bar just a little higher. Baby steps. Do it for Bob and Dr Marvin. http://www.atvmagonlineblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/what-about-bob.jpg Win.
  22. Ballgame.
