  1. Punto wouldn't net us a good peanut vendor.
  2. He's never been a staff ace, but he has had some very solid seasons. This season he is not pitching very well, so they should not go over-board to get him. I remember seeing him at some Spring Trainings when he was with the Twins. He had the ability to get inside on our big hitters like Manny and Ortiz and break their bats. I thought that he was pretty impressive in that regard.
  3. Our stopper is pitching on Sunday.
  4. It strikes me as odd that people say that closers have little worth for contractual reasons, but then they are willing to applaud a trade an everyday player who has become an All Star caliber player for a closer. I find that to be a bit contradictory. I am not directing this comment at you at all. It is just a general comment. Why is it better to pay with talent than cash for a closer?
  5. Maybe you just need a shower.
  6. If the Red Sox had made that trade instead of KC, people of this forum would find a way to defend it the way they defend Reddick for Bailey.
  7. I could be mistaken, but I am fairly sure that I have heard some analysts say the opposite. I thought that their theory made sense, but your theor makes sense too. It's a good question for Eck if they ever have an "Ask Eck" segment. I did think it was a mistake when the pitcher came inside on Ross on the 1-0 pitch and he did pay when he came in a second time.
  8. Guys who come three quarters or side arm from the right side should never throw to the inside corner on RH hitters, because their delivery makes them bail out. The can hit the inside pitch, but are susceptible to the outside pitch. I think I have heard Eck talk about that. He came from the side and always painted the outside corner. When he came inside, it was generally off the plate.
  9. When he got the 1-0 pitch on the inside corner, I thought that was not where you pitch Ross if you are slinging the ball three-quarters. A pitcher with that delivery will have a righty bailing, so the pitch on the inside part of the plate will seem like it is over the middle. He wants to hit the outside corner, because Ross will be bailing and not be able to get the sweet spot of the bat on the ball.
  10. Ross could be entering a white hot phase.
  11. That'll do it!!!! Yes, Cody!!! Love that Dirty Water!
  12. Pedroia through has been excellent against lefties. Interesting.
  13. Does he look to steal?
  14. Lester, our stopper, would take care of any winning streak.
  15. We haven't even worked this guys pitch count.
  16. I blame Coco for this. WTF happened to him tonight?
