Truped by Castig.

Typo, dude. You misspelled Retarded.
-
Wait... whoa, whoa, whoa. Beckett still in there? I'm sitting there in another thread defending Tito's managerial decisions and we're leaving Beckett in here?
-
At this point we lose absolutely nothing for giving Kottaras Varitek's starts.
-
it's like that scene in major league 2 where Taylor's trying one last comeback and he just doesn't have it. It's time to go, Tek. The question is, do you realize that yet.
-
Yeah, but I'm not the only one who got the two currently topped gamethread mixed up. There's just better times for this particular ongoing discussion. Like when we're not all using the current, other gamethread. If it's worth revisiting after the game, start a thread in another forum.
-
It feels like something you should maybe adjust to. Tek usually doesn't do this. It's either a freak coincidence or he's hiding an injury. And I don't believe in trusting that it's a coincidence.
-
Don't think for a minute that Tito's blind to what's going on. Just because he uses Tek in the regular season doesn't mean he'll get more than one or two playoff starts.
-
Why the heck did you top this thread in the middle of the game ORS?
-
Beats me. I could stand some starts from Brown or Kottaras at this point.
-
NOT AGAIN! RELEASE TEK NOW!!
-
Cmon Beckett, get it done.
-
I still don't really see it. I mean, every manager leaves the starter in a little too long from time to time, since no one's mass producing crystal balls anywhere that I know about, but I don't think Tito has been a worse offender than anyone else (quite the reverse IMHO)
-
No. I for one don't see it at all. If anything he's been moderately quick with the hook this year. No one has sniffed 130 pitches. I'm not even sure anyone's thrown 120 -- maybe Lester once.
-
That's kind of the way I feel about it.
-
That goes back to sort of what I was ineptly trying to say. Strategy vs. tactics. the "tactical" situation, IE any one game, yeah sure, play Drew. But you know he's going to need regular rest. If he doesn't get it he might not be in any condition to help us in October. Bearing that in mind, why not use Baldelli against lefthanders not necessarily beacuse Drew is bad against lefties, but because Baldelli is good against them and that ensures the built-in rest Drew needs while giving him an excuse not to play without being seen as a total wuss? Seen that way, the tactic might not have put us in the best position to win every possible game, but the strategy is paying off. we're most of the way through the season and Drew is still effective and healthy -- at least as healthy as he ever is.

I don't think a guy like that could survive in the Boston fishbowl.
-
I wouldn't call him dominant. But his line is good.
-
It's the hallmark of good coaches. Not of all coaches.
-
Put the baseball in the stike zone. Repeat/
-
Buckle down, Beckett. You can't give up the lead.
-
-
Maybe that's partly why. A good Boston coach makes it all about the team, not all about him.
-
The bomb bay door is open. That was very fast.
-
Boston seems to love its softspoken coaches. All of Doc Rivers, Tito, Claude Julien, and even Bill Belichick are guys who are better known as quiet workdoers than as bombastic Lou Pinella types. I wonder if there's a reason for that beyond coincidence.
