Spring Training Game Thread
Dipre replied to yeszir's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
It's less than 20 AB's into Spring Training..... -
I suppose you mean the fastball command that completely abandoned Bucholz during 2008 when they started tinkering with his arm slot, and that he slowly regained as 2009 went on. That's the issue. The writer is saying that the cards are stacked for Bucholz, not against him.
-
The point is that when making the comparison "Age" in itself means nothing, but rather time in the league. Let's look at the timeline this way: Roy Halladay: Year 1: 14 IP, 1.93 ERA Year 2: 149 IP, 3.92 ERA Year 3: 67.2 IP, 10.64 ERA Year 4: 105 IP, 3.16 ERA Clay Bucholz: Year 1: 22.2 IP, 1.59 ERA Year 2: 76 IP, 6.75 ERA Year 3: 92 IP, 4.21 ERA Year 4: ??? What the article tries to ascertain is the similarities in career paths (i.e early succes, struggles, then a settiling down period) and tries to use the rising groundball rate as the reason for what later became sustained success for Halladay and could become success for Bucholz as well.

Well i'm light brown if it counts for anything. Besides, i'm not exactly expensive. I just eat a lot. Lots of food and a gym subscription and i'm set.

If i needed an adoption parent, i'd ask you to adopt me.

So what you're saying is that an injury to an everyday player should be detrimental to the Sox' offensive production? I had no idea. So i have a question. Could an injury to Robinson Cano, Alex Rodriguez or Mark Teixeira be detrimental to the Yankees' offensive production?

Adrian Beltre on why he signed with the Red Sox: Broken english, but great answer.

Adrian Beltre is awesome.

Please keep editing. Gonna call the whhhhhambulance and put me on ignore again? By the way, this is the actual name of the article: New infield should bolster Buchholz Obviously an attempt to compare Bucholz and Halladay.
-
Oh. My. God. Oh, and edit, then edit, then edit. Typical. You edit your post to go out of your way to personally attack me by calling me a dick. Irony.

Lol Fail. Fantastic. Halladay pitched 14 innings in '98, 149 in 99, 67 in 2000 (Getting rocked) and then broke through. Buch debuted in 2007, got rocked in '08, then pitched half a season in '09. I never counted Halladay's 98 or Buch's '07, because logic would dictate that. Logic..... If you count it then: Fourth full year for Halladay. FAIL
-
Halladay at age 24: Third full year in the Major Leagues. Bucholz at age 24: Second year in the Major Leagues, begins pitching at the ML level after the mid-way point of the season. Also, the article is not literally comparing Bucholz to Halladay, but pointing out signs that Bucholz may break out in a similar way to Halladay. Dunno how else to interpret this.
-
Posing it as a question and then explaining statistical similarities. Ok? If the thread title was: "Bucholz to become the next Halladay" you may have a point. Not going to argue the obvious there, buddy.

No one has said Bucholz "is" the next Roy Halladay. The article simply points out some interesting similarities. Also, no one here is trying to make out Bucholz as "awesome". He's a highly regarded guy with great stuff who's yet to put it all together, so people are rightfully excited about him realizing his potential. Context.

No to Bucholz and Beltre. Yes to Hunter Jones and Tug Hulett. A-m-a-z-i-n-g.

^Such is the way of the pink hat.

Jason Bay on the Lackey signing, Red Sox pitching staff: I like Jason Bay, he is a smart man.

I love everyone in this site who is not stupid. That is all.

Believe it or not, i'm actually twice as pussy-whipped as you are. I'm just a lot more quiet about it.
-
Number one we might consider. Number two, you're pussy-whipped, and that's that.
