    Lack of capitalization on scoring opps will hurt

    Clemens is a tool
  3. jacksonianmarch
    That is one of the issues. Shutdown innings are so key for keeping momentum

    reYouk, if you want to be the Astros, you need to suck for a LOOOOONG time. They missed the playoffs every season from 05-14 and only finished .500+ twice in that time period.

    Lasted a long time too

    One of the biggest things I have noticed watching the sox is how much they tense up, or at least appear to. The team from 2013 didn't give a s*** if they were down and stepped on the throat when they had a lead. Now, it seems when they have a lead, they try to be too perfect, because they are not sure if their O will score and the O seems to press in big spots, presumably because they don't think their pitching can hold it down. It is a lack of trust on either side of the baseball.

    You guys scored in the 1st inning for the first time in 19 days

    Buchholz says he wont see a mound for at least 5-6 weeks. His season is basically done

    Well, looks like we've found our groove at the right time. 12-4 in July and now have a 6 game lead with a 7 game lead in the L column. Cashman said we don't need to add at the deadline, but we definitely should at least add a pitcher of some sort to the club. No need to get complacent here, but as long as we stay healthy, I like our chances. We hit as a team pretty well. Our team can run. We have a rotation that should play well in October and our pen is just lights out. Looking to keep separating from the pack

    When your pitching is suspect, you need to have great defense. Enlisting a rapidly devolving defensive blob at 3b and a unmotivated infielder in LF is a really good way to show how bad your pitching is. Bad pitching can be below average with great defense. Bad pitching looks horrendous with bad D

    So has the "we've been pretty good aside from a bad May" crowd seen the light yet, or do they still exist?

    Ben Cherington sounds defeated.

    Kershaw's deal set a new precedent for top notch aces. I think Price is getting $30mil a year

    Andrews is the guru. His fellowship program is one of the hardest programs to get into in the country and that's for the best of the best in orthopedics. He apparently has multiple fellows operating basically all the time with 4 rooms running pretty much 7 days a week. The guy is a god in the ortho world. That being said, a PRP injection will put him out for another month or so. He's probably going to end the season healthy, but will likely throw for the final month only

    Gausman reminds me of Eovaldi. Top notch stuff, but can't really seem to close the deal. If you have faith in your pitching coach, he has the potential to be an ace
  16. jacksonianmarch
    Kelly hasn't learned a thing. Too many fastballs off or out over the plate. He will not succeed until he learns to put the ball on the outer third or inner third of the plate
  17. jacksonianmarch
    Stay out of topics you don't understand

    If I predicted one to be better than the other, wouldn't that inherently mean that one sucked less?
  19. jacksonianmarch
    I didn't predict Porcello's downfall, but I was not in your camp, where he'd build on his aberrant 2014 season and take over the ace mantle. I have whined about Eovaldi, as basically he is a guy who is only good for 5 innings and then watch out. Girardi has figured this out and has actually adjusted well. Porcello has been a dumpster fire all year
  20. jacksonianmarch
    I'm aware. I might have your sig for a month!
  21. jacksonianmarch
    UN? Pure luck, really? You love the geeks at Fangraphs, right? How can you justify pure luck? Eovaldi's FIP is right around his career numbers and the only reason he hasn't been otherworldly this season is his insanely ridiculous .350BABIP. His FIP of 3.51 is 0.14 below his career average and would constitute a career low for Porcello. He is head, shoulders, chest and half an abdomen above Porcello this season and you're just being a sore loser
  22. jacksonianmarch
    I think UN is taking it especially hard because he bought the FO propaganda from day 1 and feels like a fool
  23. jacksonianmarch
    UN, I believe a sig bet was made, IIRC. October will be an interesting sig for you. I think where the wagon derailed was basically ignoring what made the sox win in 2013. A s*** ton of that was luck. But you had good chemistry, great starting pitching, and a lot of guys who got on base. Instead, you brought in known cancers, fringe SP's with the hopes (cheerleading anyone) of having them play above realistic expectations, and offensive firepower without any OBP potential. Your pitching has sucked, your offense has stagnated and the chemistry is absent.
  24. jacksonianmarch
    Nailed that one to this point
  25. jacksonianmarch
    My formal prediction. As of right now, Pineda and Tanaka will be just shy of 60 games assuming good health the rest of the way
