    I am picking up your bad habits.

    Price's under performance is something he will fix or not. DD and management cannot fix him. The #4 and 5 slots are the problems that the FO needs to address. Whining about Price isn't going to do a thing. He is going to be what ever is going to be and he has a lot of talent and a good track record. Fixing him is not something to which the organization should be devoting much time. He will fix himself. The #4 and 5 slots will not fix themselves. I was identifying the biggest problem that the FO can and should address.

    And their suckass teams have far more serious flaws than an under performing #1.

    All we can do is jibber jabber until Friday. Stupid All Star Break!
  5. a700hitter
    Thank you for clarifying. The manager is probably responsible for as many losses.
  6. a700hitter
    But you are not pinning the blame on Price.
  7. a700hitter
    And if he pitches like Sandy Koufax in the second half, it will not mean a thing if they don't fix the end of the rotation. We will not make the playoffs. If DD fixes the 4 and 5 spots, we can still make the playoffs with a spotty Price, imo. So, I will stand by my assertion that Price is not a problem.
  8. a700hitter
    And no one said that they said that. Price is not a problem. Identifying him as any sort of problem is completely misguided. He is a top quality talent who will right his own course. We don't eve have names to pencil in for the 4th and 5th spots. if you check ahead for probable pitchers, you will frequently find TBA in those spots. There is the problem that needs fixing -- not Price.
  9. a700hitter
    Those people unequivocally identified Price as a problem.
  10. a700hitter
    You add nothing. And you will be going to ignore soon.
  11. a700hitter
    His pattern has been good half seasons and lousy almost full seasons with an occasional lousy half season. When he was healthy, he could dominate, but I think those days are over. The stuff doesn't seem to be there anymore.
  12. a700hitter
    Piss off jackass.
  13. a700hitter
    Not getting another quality pitcher.
  14. a700hitter
    He is better than Price!
  15. a700hitter
    Yes Price -- our #4. Such an astute observation.
  16. a700hitter
    If we had any degree of competence in the final 2 rotation spots, we would be blowing the doors of the division. The offense in the first half has been phenomenal. The top 4 batters in our lineup are hitting over .300 -- .304, .304. .329 and .332. I think it would be reasonable to expect that these numbers will fall back a little bit, and if they do people will jump to blame them -- the strongest part of the team. The problems with the team are obvious. The only question is whether DD can fix it. Yet people will look to blame our best pitcher, a 2 week batting slump or a couple of blown saves from our All Star closer. Ridiculous.
  17. a700hitter
    He wasn't the problem in the first half of the season even though he didn't pitch like he usually does. As I have said before, even UN's one-eyed cat can see see that we have no #4 or 5.
  18. a700hitter
    He slammed the door on the Mets twice this weekend. His velocity has been down for years. He is still at 92-93. People don't give him the credit for knowing how to pitch. Everyone just thinks he is a thrower. He is not. He hasn't been for a long time.
  19. a700hitter
    But he stinks. He is the reason why we are not in first place ... no? Even if you lose the 3.50 bet, the guy is still a #1 stud and he will not be part of the problem if this team fails.
  20. a700hitter
    Oh Boy RBI worms all over the place!!!
  21. a700hitter
    Price is the problem!!!
  22. a700hitter
    Price is a huge problem. Something has to be done about him.
  23. a700hitter
    Or we would have signed someone else. If you want to go down the where we would be without Porcello, we could go down the road of how much better off they would be if they had saved money on Castillo, Sandoval and Craig and used it to keep Lester and Lackey.
  24. a700hitter
    And despite my criticism of the contract, I wish we had a couple of more guys pitching as well as Porcello.
  25. a700hitter
    It wasn't about guessing. It was about seeing the product before you commit big bucks -- just sound business. Ben and Theo are not good businessmen imo. Neither could run a candy store in Brooklyn. They would be out of business in 6 months.
