Tied at 7!
-
This team is hitting and that will get even better when Pedroia returns.
-
Thank you.
-
He couldn't close out the inning without giving up runs.
-
Big out by Herman Munster.
-
Hey SoxNCycles get lost with your smearing trolling tactics. Get f***ing lost, *******.
-
An insult to dog s***.
-
Hopefully, Hanigan can get him back on track, because he has been worse than Kelly and Masterson lately.
-
He is learning to hit lefties from the left side of the plate.
-
That is using his head.
-
They are just wasting time if they keep him around. He's done as a starter. I might let him pitch out of the pen, but he has to be removed from the rotation. He has no chance of succeeding. The velocity he needs isn't there and it isn't coming back.
-
No one knows where they are supposed to be in the IF and no one in the OF knows what they are supposed to do with the ball. Yes, you are right that that is the fault of the coaching.
-
I agree with everything in your post on the prior play by Hanley. I was referring to the one good play Hanley made after that. There were no mistakes on that. Altuve was just too fast and read the play so well.
-
Our pitching stubbornly clinging to the worst ERA in the league. Hey Ben, it's the pitching, stupid! Get us some pitchers that can give us some consistency and give us a chance to win.
-
Hanley caught one off the wall before it hit the ground and Altuve was still fast enough to score from first base.
-
Lackey's ERA in 2013 was .80 better than Porcello.
-
Hanley plays everything like it is a hand grenade.
-
Joba DFA'd by the Tigers today.
-
I was looking forward to seeing Springer.
-
I assumed that you were talking about Porcello, because that is who we have been discussing. I am not sure that your abstract statement has any practical correlation. Anyway, try to stay on topic, Bells. Focus.
-
I find it interesting that people argue that Porcello's mechanics have been tinkered with by Red Sox coaches. What is the point of that argument... That he isn't having a rotten season, that his contract is really a good value? Imo, whether he changed his approach and what might have influenced that decision is meaningless. He obviously needs to make adjustments or he will find himself out of the rotation. Blaming others for his failure is just emblematic of how society fails to hold people accountable for their own failures. I guess some people view Porcello and Ben as victims? Absurd...right.
-
They will need to build a starting rotation, sooner or later or this will continue to be a 4th or last place team going forward into 2016.
-
This is where stats go off the rails when they get tortured like this. First of all, Porcello's regression/reversion would likely bring him to a 4.25 ERA which is clearly a #4 or 5-- that is what he has been for almost 6 seasons. That is the best gauge of what he is, not some tortured application of a statiscal average. Seriously, Bells you are reaching with this.
-
if Porcello starts keeping the ball in the park and gets his sinker back, he will revert (regress) to being a 4 ERA starter who will throw 200 innings a year. That is very useful for a #4 or 5, but not worth $82 million over 4 years. It just isn't. Fourth and fifth starters move from team to team pretty regularly from year to year without a big financial commitment. Ben outsmarted himself on this deal.
-
Seventh inning up by seven runs it is probably time to get Hanley 's glove out of the game.
