  1. Spud, we have to cut the FO some slack. They put together the best staff they could from what was available. All the better pitchers were taken by the other 29 GMs. Greedy bastards!
  2. We are playing West Coast and Central teams from now until the end of May, mainly on the road. This will be a survival test for this team. It will be a very very tough stretch. They will be lucky to keep their head above water, and they will be in danger of sinking like a stone.
  3. Lol! I agree. Kimmi presented Buchholz's xfip as evidence that his poor performance is enigmatic. After looking at the stat in the context of his career xfip numbers, I don't think his poor performance is enigmatic and it doesn't give me any hope for a big improvement in his performance unless we think a 4.75 to 5.50 ERA is a big improvement.
  4. Those optimists who mocked realistic projections of pitching failure (which are also turning out to be somewhat optimistic) will pack their camping equipment and take a hike from this place by the All Star Break. Lol!
  5. His xfip to this date in 2015 is a full run lower than his career xfip. In 2014, his xfip came in at exactly his career mark and he put up a 5.34 ERA. Wouldn't his history suggest that his xfip is likely to normalize closer to his career mark? His current xfip is the lowest of his career by .40.
  6. This is bizarre but true.
  7. The problem was clearly Nieves. They said that he couldn't effectuate the change needed among the starters. Lol! What a bunch of tools! He was scapegoated because they built a garbage staff.
  8. Miley's ERA plummeted to 6.91 tonight.
  9. Farrell is the pitching coach and manager. He has too many jobs. Lol!
  10. So, they haven't sucked up to this point, or you don't expect them to suck going forward or both? Also, what did Buchholz's numbers look like for 2014?
  11. i am not looking forward to the West Coast trip. And we usually don't play well on the coast.
  12. And we usually don't play well on the coast.
  13. It won't matter if he is tearing the cover off the ball if he continues to hit.140.
  14. Maybe Farrell could be the hitting coach as well as the pitching coach.
  15. Craig is not doing a thing to win a spot on this team.
  16. Wow! Swihart k's on a 3-2 pitch and XB hits into a DP. Unbelievable!
  17. Bases loaded none out. We should get at least a couple of runs here
  18. Craig is getting the opportunity to make a case for more playing time.
  19. How did those number look last year?
  20. Please someone post lineups.
  21. What was the game line onthe Yankee -- Toronto game on Wednesday when Buehrle wwent against CC? Buehrle hadn't beaten the Yankees in 11 years and CC had won 6 straight decisions against the Jays.
  22. I won't boo him but they should bench him until his love-coma passes. The problem is that Craig is worse.
  23. Nothing can bring an athlete down faster than a woman. I think George Forman said it it about Mike Tyson and Robin Givens.
