    As bad as Shields has been this season, he has been about the same as Porcello, but with less long balls.
  2. a700hitter
    I would imagine that it would be a 15 day DL. It has been reported that he had a setback, where he felt a pull in a BP session.
  3. a700hitter
    It looks like he will land on the DL.

    Your offense has to be a big powerhouse to get to the playoffs with an ERA over 4.

    Argue with Omar Vizquel. He was on a Farrell team in Toronto and he made an issue of it in the press, but what would he know without the numbers. I'll rely on the opinion of a 20 year MLB SS and perennial All Star if it conflicts with some new-fangled base running metric, especially since he was on the team.

    He had a good stretch or 2 last year too. Then he would blow up-- right around the time I would pick him up for my fantasy team.

    He stinks. Ask Fred.

    Lackey's career ERA against the Red Sox is 5.25, and I would rather hand him the ball than Porcello.
  9. a700hitter
    If he played for the Red Sox, he wouldn't have to face them. Lackey i think also had some terrible Fenway #'s before joining the Red Sox.

    That must have been some Dirty Dozen!

    Sure he is in decline. I never said that he wasn't, but he did always give up a lot of Home Runs even in his bet season. And last year, he was still better than Porcello, imo.
  12. a700hitter
    Shields always gave up a lot of Home Runs, but was still very successful. Porcello is supposed to be a sinker ball pitcher. His Home Run rate spike is a new development, and he has not been successful with his new approach.
  13. a700hitter
    He was much better than Porcello last season. You don't have to go back 3 years. This year Shield has had some problems, but if I had to hand someone the ball, I would rely on Shields track record and hand it to him instead of Porcello, who should be worshiping at the altar of of BC.

    Shields has had a much better career than Porcello, and I would still rather hand the ball to him than Porcello.

    Even the 1977-78 teams hit slumps with 3 Hall of Famers in the lineup as well as Lynn, Evans, Boomer.

    I just realized that Michael Fulmer of the Tigers was acquired from the Mets for 2 months of Cespedes. Fulmer is looking like an ace in the making and he is playing for the league minimum and is under team control. For a full year of Cespedes, we got Porcello for one year and then threw an $82 million extension at him. Yet, people want me to believe that BC got the best return that he could for Cespedes, Lester and Lackey. Puhlease, BC was a fool.

    And when the offense slumps, which offenses inevitably do, the team will swoon if th pitching doesn't improve.
  18. a700hitter
    I am starting to think that Kelly is the love child of Jacoby Ellsbury and Clay Buchholz. He is frail --- probably a bleeder too.
  19. a700hitter
    Porcello gives up too many Home Runs. Where yesterday's HR pitch was is irrelevant. His HR rate has skyrocketed since we got him.
  20. a700hitter
    or that a .205 hitter could hit out of the park.
  21. a700hitter
    For the Hockey Playoffs?
  22. a700hitter
    SC manages to work "dick" into every post. He is the Howard Stern of TS.
  23. a700hitter
    There would be some great nicknames -- Stumpy, Hopalong, Three Fingers and on and on.
  24. a700hitter
    He could have been a key component of a significant deal. This injury hurts more than just our every day lineup.
  25. a700hitter
    Iortiz could adapt his sports betting algorithm and make a killing. Pardon the pun.
