So.....this Beltre guy's pretty good huh? -
Yup. What people will say is that the pitching is over-performing, and when the Sox and Yanks get healthy, if their pitching slumps, all bets are off. Before the extreme attempts at back-patting, we should wait and see just where will the actual performance of their pitching staff end up. Not to mention it's not a "Sox fan" thing, it't a numbers thing. A 2.70 team ERA is unsustainable.

Pedey-Martinez-Youk. Sweet.

Incorrect. He sucks both defensively and offensively, and when i defended him, i did because he was dominican. Not because he's been excellent defensively his entire career, and his awful 2009 was an injury-induced fluke as demonstrated by his current hitting. So....DFA Beltre.

DFA Beltre.

Lester is the ace of this staff.

Left elbow soreness. According to Francona, it's bothered him for a while:

Color me skeptical that they'll maintain a sub-3 team ERA for the rest of the season. The pitching will slump eventually.

Interesting you mention this, because the type of pitcher Ortiz really struggled last year against were fly-ball pitchers, which, in my opinion , is a testament to his decrease in power. Vs Fly ball pitchers: .728 OPS. Vs average Fly ball/ Groundball pitchers: .815 OPS. Vs Groundball pitchers: .845 OPS.

I agree. But it doesn't mean he "sucked". When he "sucked" was April and May, from there on he was productive, albeit not a typical Ortiz levels.

I remember posting about it, but here it is again: Baseball reference differences them as "power" and "finesse" pitchers, here are Ortiz' 2009 numbers against "power", "average" and "finesse" pitching: Power pitchers: .242 /.329 /.530 .859 OPS. Average: 238/.335/.459 .793 OPS Finesse: .237/.331/.425 .756 OPS Since the differentiation is made basically on pitcher's stuff, the numbers would seem to indicate that Ortiz had significant problems adjusting to soft-tossers and garbage-throwers, which makes sense, because he seemed late on fastballs and early on breaking balls throughout the first half of the year, and it's easier to cheat fastball on a pitcher who throws hard and uses his FB as an out pitch a higher percentage of the time.

Heh. Indeed, you my man. Now where's YOTN? Someone's getting deep fried!
-
Yeah because it's a great idea for the diabetic to eat YOTN in chocolate sauce.

What you need to do is play paintball with me. I will cleanse you with a brutal shower of paint-based bullets.

Game Over, thank God.....Too much drama with every win.
