    How do you know? There were no computers, but maybe she did it on paper.

    The numbers don't overwhelmingly support going with a lefty or a righty. I still don't like going with a kid with 2 major league starts under his belt to start the first game of the biggest series of the season. Miller doesn't have a load of experience either. The two options are really bad. There is no good choice. I'd probably still go with Miler, because when he is on he has demonstrated some ability to dominate. Bad options. Kevin Millwood would have been a much better option.

    What is Francona's explanation for going with Weiland tonight instead of Miller? I thought he'd want the lefty because the Rays have few lefties: Damon, Joyce, Kotchman, Brignac and Jaso. I have to say that this gives me flashbacks to 1978 when Zimmer started rookie call up Bobby Sprowl in the crucial Yankee series.

    Then they too would be misunderstanding what I had said.

    I didn't imply that you had used career data. I stated flat out that's what I thought you were using. It was my misunderstanding. It usually happens when I am posting on my blackberry on the train. When you clarified for me that you were using 2011 data, I still took issue with it for the reasons that i have already stated.

    No I didn't. Edit: But I wouldn't expect you to be able to understand that because you engage in the tactic that I "soap boxed" about more than most posters. If you had understood how ineffective it is, I assume that you would have stopped engaging in it. So, i am not surprised that you don't even understand the point that i made.

    Some posters tend to take the analysis by another poster and apply it to a different set of facts in another situation then conclude that the analsis is faulty, because the conclusions in that analysis didn't hold true in that other situation. It's a faulty way to argue and it proves nothing. I agree with you about Romero. He has been very good this season. The fact that the Sox have had success against him in past years doesn't translate to a higher probability of success this season. From year to year, the Red Sox line up has changed significantly, so it doesn't translate from year to year.

    Game management has never been Tito's strength. That's more like his nap time. He needs a stacked team where it doesn't matter what buttons he pushes during the game.
  14. a700hitter
    Some new blood is needed. It is time for some changes. As an organization, the Yankees are deeper in talent at every level. Maybe I'm believing their hype, but Montero certainly looks like a prime time hitter, far better than Lavarnway. Their minor league pitching is much deeper than ours too. Let Theo take the Cubs job.

    A Rays sweep of the Sox this weekend is highly unlikely. The O's have taken the heat off the Sox big time by beating the Rays the last 2 days.
  16. a700hitter
    f*** him.
  17. a700hitter
    Poor poor Theo. He's so unlucky. All the good players were taken. No one was available. It would have been too expensive to get any reinforcements. Plus, we wouldn't want to sacrifice the future by trading any of the numerous future superstars in our system. You'll see. They'll be here any year now. If JH and the other owners buy this crap ^ they are soft in the head.

    This is just pulled righ out of the back of your shorts.

    He's been over-used. This is the result. He is fatigued and he has lost his command. The same thing has been going on with Albers for 6 weeks, but they keep going to him. They'll have to keep going to bard too and there will be mote of this. Tito doesn't have the luxury of not going to Bard. Our starters can't pitch deep into games. The horse s*** starting staff that we have had for the entire season has taken its toll on one of our few reliable bullpen arms. The lack of quality starts has been an issue all season long and it went completely unaddressed. Since there will be no opportunity to rest him, I doubt that he can return to the dominant form that he had earlier in the season.

    Now you know what the 9th inning looked like before Papelbon and what it will look like after him.
  22. a700hitter
    Jeesh!! Take this back. Why would you say something like this?
  23. a700hitter
    He would have been good enough to keep us in games and win one or two during this bad stretch, and yes he is significantly better than those guys. Wakefield is an empty shell. Lackey is having the worst season of any starter in history and Miller is just not consistent enough to be a major league pitcher.

    He's an empty shell.

    Funny thing. I had tickets to this game but could not make it. I sold them on Stub Hub. I still have the hard copy tickets.
