  1. I will graph this along with a line of linear regression for all of you to reference later on.
  2. Hey, if we're going to have freaking Coco mash for us, they're entitled to have Harris mash for them
  3. I know Drew can work counts...but I'd really like to see some kind of statistic as to how many at bats of his start off with first pitch looking, second pitch swinging...down 0-2.
  4. Paps is the closer. He decided to close and will remain closing.
  5. Is it theoretically possible for Coco to mash? Like, sure a guy like Ortiz can mash...or Manny can mash...but Coco? I feel like he's more of a "gently smush" guy rather than a "mash" guy.
  6. Me too...but I think the Mets might be the only team in baseball colder than us. :dunno:
  7. So I'm not crazy at the looks of the new lineup...but Tito is doing finally doing something DRASTIC to shake things up a bit. I can at least appreciate that, and who knows, maybe it'll work out?
  8. I don't get why you always have to go to stuff like this...defend your point rather than making obscene remarks about someone you've never met before. Arroyo looked awful the other night...just slightly less awful than he's looked in previous starts. But that's still far from "good".
  9. No way Beckett vs. Francis is a push...noooo way. Beckett has been one of the top 10, if not top 5, pitchers in baseball this year.
  10. I didn't really shoot it down...depending on what we'd have to give up, I'd be in favor of Dunn playing here. I don't think he's our long term solution, as I'd like to see the Sox make a run at one of the big-ticket FAs in center this offseason (assuming they don't think Ellsbury is ready, or they deal him...), but for the time being, I wouldn't hate seeing Coco get dealt or come in as a late inning defensive replacement/baserunner. It just boggles my mind how you can call shortstop a black hole. Lugo is the top 10 in RBIs among ML SS and top 5 in SBs...he's got more RBIs, equal HRs, and triple the stolen bases that Jeter does. I don't have any doubt that his average will come eventually...but in the meantime, let him come out of his funk. Games aren't won based upon batting average...they're won based upon runs...and, to me, Lugo is doing a lot to generate those out of the SS position. I predict he'll finish .275, 13 HRs, 80 R, 70 RBI, 37 SB. You won't take that out of a shortstop?
  11. Would your head spontaneously combust if Dunn did come here and he and WMP were in the same lineup once in a while?
  12. I don't think he's is disputing the fact that when Wakefield is effective, he helps the ballclub bigtime. When he's on, he can eat innings and keep teems at bay. What his arguement is is that he has less control as to when he's on than any "regular" pitcher does. The elements play a large part in what a knuckleball will do on any given day, and thusly, getting on any kind of roll while being a knuckleball pitcher is exteeeeeeeeemely difficult because there are many things outside of your control that directly effect the quality of pitch that you throw.
  13. Agreed...if Tavarez starts sucking the house again, then it might expedite the process...but as of right now, there's no huge need. Better safe than sorry.
  14. So he's going to be having sex with other player's wives?!? :dunno:
  15. You forgot to abbreviate the name of the poster to which you're responding...
  16. Wait, did someone actually do this?
  17. Wow, I laughed harder at these than I have at a post in quite some time. You guys are really cracking me up lately.
  18. So we agree that they both need some work...but do you think that an unrefined Kazmir is better than an unrefined Hughes? I do.
