    We can't play D and we can't hit. We suck

    I honestly think this was Philly's plan all along. My bet is Amaro knew he wasn't getting Betts or Swihart, but started the bidding there to maximize return. Hamels isn't a contract year guy, so there's no benefit to dealing him prior to the season. I think he knew dealing him and his big contract wouldn't net him a top 25 prospect like Betts or Swihart. That being said, I definitely see Owens going if it's for Hamels.

    And now there will be a delay due to electrical issues. LOL. Good night

    Shreve had a hell of a season in Hotlanta last year. This kid has good stuff and a lot of guile. Which means he's due to give up a tater right about now

    He found a new supplier

    Walking Tex is stupid. The guy is a fossil

    Carpenter has lights out stuff. Control, not so much

    The Porcello contract is a futures play as much as it is good business. If Porcello reverts to the guy he was 2-3 years ago, then they are paying too much for a guy who will still eat some innings. If he builds off his 2014 and either improves or stays at that level, then this deal is great. If Porcello came out and threw 210IP of 3.20ERA in 2015, then his contract would have been for the same AAV but over 7-8 yrs instead of 4

    You can only throw so many cockshots. Tex and McCann couldn't hit at all
  10. jacksonianmarch
    90mph down the cock and we can't hit it. Joke

    Bad News Bears

    The Sox didn't quiet Yankee Stadium. Our GM and president did when they bogged us down with these near dead players at the end of their contracts. Our offense used to be the fear of the league. Now, you have to restrain pitchers from running to the mound.

    Shouldn't have let him face Nava. He was done and it was obvious
  14. jacksonianmarch
    McCann needs to have both of those. He's throwing splitters, sinkers and sliders. Dirtballs are gonna be occurring. You have to block them lest your pitcher lose confidence

    Panda owns this guy something fierce. Wow. I have liked what I have seen out of Eovaldi. He's facing a good lineup, he's been pounding the zone and not showing fear of contact. He's near 90 pitches now, so he should probably be done

    Pineda threw well yesterday. Our bats were still silent. If it wasn't for the ineptitude of the Jays pitchers in terms of hitting the strike zone, we'd have lost. But I'll take it. CC vs Norris today, let's see if we can take the series. Sucks I have to work!
  17. jacksonianmarch
    Ogden, I think he's scared to let it fly. The guy I saw pitching yesterday was afraid. I hope it was just the early season, but I was definitely concerned
  18. jacksonianmarch
    I honestly believe that structurally, his elbow will allow him to throw 93-95mph again. I don't know for how long, but he showed he could throw 93-94 yesterday. I am more concerned about the fact that the specter of injury has made him want to change what made him great. It's in his head rather than in his arm. The guy who pitched yesterday will give us 180IP and a 4+ERA. That isn't what we need. We need the guy who was fearless, who threw low to mid 90s cheese with a splitter that lit the world on fire.
  19. jacksonianmarch
    Once they took the splitter, he realized he had trouble locating his sinker and then went to the slider for his strikes. It flattened out in the 3rd and he got hammered. He has the stuff to be an ace. He has to trust it.
  20. jacksonianmarch
    BSN, it's not that he's lost stuff. He was still 93-94 when he rarely threw his 4 seamer. His issue now is that he might not trust his stuff. To be honest with you, I'd rather he air it out. If the ligament blows, then get it fixed. As long as he's throwing low to mid 90s with the heat, so be it. If the elbow barks and the 4 seamers drop into the 80s, then fix it. He is trying to get by on less velo, which is okay, but what isn't acceptable is that he's changed who he is. He has the best splitter in the world, and his "new mindset" of sinker/slider forces him away from his signature unhittable pitch. If everything has side to side movement and then the split comes, which looks like a 4 seamer out of the hand, then the batters will learn to take it
  21. jacksonianmarch
    To be honest with you, I could care less. The guy on the mound right now is pitching like DiceK. I would rather he get the TJS and rehab than be a shell of himself. He either needs to go out there and throw the 4 seamer and splitty or go under the knife. The analysts have it dead on. Tanaka's best pitch is his splitter and you need to throw the 4 seamer to make the split effective. If you throw a 2 seamer and a splitter, you can see the difference out of the hand and they are taking it. Go back to the 4 seamer. When he said he was adding in a sinker, I thought he was adding it in and just slowing down his 4 seamer. I didn't know he was practically giving up on his 4 seamer
  22. jacksonianmarch
    Tanaka appears afraid to throw his FB. It isn't like he's throwing 85 here, the guy is sitting 90 with the heater. If he locates it, he will be fine. He either needs to get comfortable with the heat early in the count or he needs to just throw all out and blow the ligament out when it goes. f*** it.
  23. jacksonianmarch
    Well, first two inning he was untouchable. Third inning, he couldn't locate the two seamer and unraveled after the error. He's gotta be better
  24. jacksonianmarch
    Remind me to never get anything from London Lo. Holy s***, she was an unholy abortion singing god bless america
  25. jacksonianmarch
    Tanaka adding a 2 seamer to his arsenal, saying not to expect big velo out of him. It is smart of him to throw the sinker with the splitty. If he can command it well, he should be dominant
