Yeah, I was clarifying my point. But Ellsbury *is* faster than Gardner.
-
Because Teixeira would have functioned as an injury fill-in for Lowell. Carter's been hitting recently, he probably gets the call.
-
Ellsbury's actually gut his SLG up over .400 thanks in large part to those two triples the other day. Ellsbury and Gardner are actually having pretty similar years. Ellsbury has slightly more power and makes better contact, Gardner walks more and strikes out more. Ellsbury has the advantage in overall stolen bases, Gardner has a better SB%. Just one more point of rivalry between the Sox and Yankees I guess, who has the better speedy leadoff type.

That's if you'd define the Nationals lineup as "big league hitters."
-
Because that has anything to do with Doubront.
-
OK, I'm officially confused. Not that this is anything new, but whose turn is it?
-
How come there isn't more hype about this guy? Lefthanded starter, 21 years old, in AA, putting up solid if not dominant numbers? http://www.soxprospects.com/players/doubront-felix.htm He doesn't seem to have top of the rotation stuff, but when a guy is in AA that young it usually says good things about his command and poise. As I said, you'd think we'd be hearing more about him. Is there a concern that he's a second coming of Abe Alvarez, or is this guy just buried in Boston's monumental depth?

Umm, yes really. There's more to location than balls and strikes. WHERE you miss is important While true, Bard doesn't make a lot of mistakes in the zone, and that's reflected in his numbers too. If he misses, it's a ball. WHEN Hansen misses, it gets clobbered. Also, consider the standard we're applying here. I'm not exactly claiming that Bard is Takashi Saito, just that he doesn't suck as bad as Hansen.
-
I imagine you never thought you'd be saying that back in April.
-
The irony is, if the Jays have a good year they might be interested in taking on a middle of the order bat, especially if Travis Snider continues to struggle.

Well, no. The rest of your post amounts to a pile of excuse-making for Hansen. Bottom line, Hansen's command wasn't as advertised and it doesn't matter how hard you throw if you can't put it where you want it. Bard's already proven he's made of sterner stuff than Hansen after he had a mental breakdown in the minors '07 and bounced back. Bard had a ready made excuse for falling completely apart and instead he turned himself around, accepted his new role, and dominated. That's the difference. Also, your own post argues against your premise. Bard has not been rushed into anything, he's in the majors so quick because he blew competition in the minors away last year and demonstrated significant improvement in his command this year. He's appeared in a couple big spots not for lack of options but because he's earned the right by consistently good performances. It's a significant difference.

Do you guys mind if I breathe a sign of relief? This was NOt an easy game!
-
Finally.
-
Throw the dang pitch.
-
No excuses. We're getting a wide frickin' zone and he still can't hit it.
-
OK guys, here's a radical concept. get them down 0-2 AND THEN KEEP THROWING STRIKES!
-
-
C'mon guys, don't blow this.
-
STRIKES, Leser.
-
Ridiculous.
-
Glad Green's OK.
-
5 years , $75 million. Do it.
-
Nice play. Sox win.
