    Boy, you don't like to see the big guy go down like that.

    Gonzo hangs with the flyball in the corner.
  3. a700hitter
    Nice break for the Sox. Let's capitalize.
  4. a700hitter
    There is not a lot of range in the outfield defense tonight.
  5. a700hitter
    Two runners on in the first inning. That's par for the course this season.
  6. a700hitter
    He has not brought exceptional stuff to the mound in any of his starts, and he has not even shown flashes of exceptional stuff in his starts. He hasn't had a put away pitch.
  7. a700hitter
    He's doing way better than Gonzo.

    When you start a thread, before you sumbit the thread, go to the bottom and you will see the check-offs for submitting a poll. After you submit the thread, it will ask you about the poll you want to post.

    I'd sign Oswalt, and while he is getting ready to pitch, I'd let Bard continue to start. Maybe in that time he gets his s*** together and Buchholz doesn't, or maybe someone gets injured.

    As we continue to debate the irrelevant, i.e., Hansen.
  11. a700hitter
    Why are you guys seizing on the Craig Hansen remark? Is that really the issue?
  12. a700hitter
    All the non-issues, e.g. Punto, Byrd, Nava, DMac and Bard on and on add up to being a last place team.

    By engaging in this experiment, they did run the risk of ruining him. Hopefully, he can find himself in the bullpen.
  14. a700hitter
    He has a good fastball and curve, and his best pitch is his change up. That should be good enough to pitch well.

    Peter A's article about this today. I agree with him that if Bard is going to be a fringe type starter, Dice K can do that and Bard can go back to being a good bullpen guy. The problem is that Dice K may not be close to returning, so we don't know how long we'll have to endure this amateur show by Bard.

    How much longer do you stick with him? I'd sign Oswalt, and while he is getting ready to pitch, I'd let Bard continue to start. Maybe in that time he gets his s*** together and Buchholz doesn't, or maybe someone gets injured.

    I agree with this^. Here is what I posted in the game thread, but it is more appropriate here. Bard's first inning was like amateur hour. It was an embarrassment. He knocked his team right out of the game. As a starter, he has not been impressive at all. He has had way too many walks and base runners. He balks like he has had no instruction in how to pitch with runners on base. The biggest thing of all is that as a starter he has had no put away pitch and his blazing fastball is no longer in his arsenal as a major weapon. Frankly, he is just no where near seasoned enough as a starting pitcher to get by without his 97-98 mph heater. He is dog meat throwing 92-93. Time to get him back to the pen where he can be dominating. This is not a reaction to one bad inning tonight. It's my observation after almost one-quarter of the season. He has not been impressive in any of his starts. Even in his starts that he won, he wasn't impressive. He was just okay.

    There has been a lot of misinformation about Oswalt's situation since last year.

    Just get him in a Red Sox uniform. He's better than 3 of the 5 starters if he pitches lousy for Oswalt. If he is healthy, he can outpitch Beckett and Lester too. Get Bard back in the pen where he can be useful. And send Dice K back to Japan. He's useless to the Red Sox.

    Kevin Millwood with a 2 hit shutout of Colorado tonight.

    It was like a solid bowel movement-- that first year.

    f*** him. He's a high paid executive with zero business training. He didn't win a single game for the Sox and now he is presiding over a last place team is the shittiest division in baseball. Good riddance. That being said, I would still buy him a drink firing Forest Gump the day after the 2003 World Series was concluded.
