That was a decent dec' by Andino on the replay. He acted like he wasn't paying attention.

NICE DOUBLE DUSTY! But how the hell do you make the third out at third? :rant: That was a mental s*** if I ever saw one. 1-2 Baltimore
-
Wow Gom, well said :thumbsup: I agree with everything you said, and I was trying to make the same points in the game thread.

Doesn't look like we're signing Kessell, which I can live with. How many of his goals were gifts from Savard? Kessell didn't get many points against playoff caliber teams and he seems to disappear when play gets physical. Plus, the guy doesn't really play defense. For such a one dimensional player, there's no way I'd pay him the $5 million he wants.

Beckett made a decent pitch :dunno:
-
Maybe that's why the Red Sox approached him in June to talk contract extension. I wonder if the Yankees would be interested in Bay even if he did hit the free agent market. They'd have to give up 2 draft picks to us and left field in Yankee Stadium is awfully big for a guy like Bay.
-
Yeah, he was bound to have a slump with the Red Sox eventually. I can't wait for him and Ortiz to both be hitting. Fingers crossed.

Yeah, I'm hoping that's not the case and this is just a fluke injury, that will only keep him out a few days. You never know though.
-
When it comes down to it, it's about how well a team's playing at the time, not what their schedule looks like. I learned that lesson after we went on that tear against good teams last in 2004.
-
God damnit, Lowrie's headed back to Boston to have his knee looked at. It got hit with a pitch in one of his first rehab starts and it's still swollen.
-
I don't know about clinching the division early, those Rays are looking really good. But I don't think it will be close with us and the Yankees.
-
I really don't feel like the division will come down to one game between us and the Yankees. The Yankees live and die with their offense which gets hot and cold. On the other hand, we have Beckett, Lester and Smoltz starting most of our games. I bet we'll start to pull away in the second half.

Can you show me one? I'm pretty sure Red Sox fans are saying it's not a big deal because it's Eric Hinske.

Dude, come on, now this is getting ridiculous. Even if Ransom didn't get hurt, he'd still be sitting over Pena. Ransom's hitting .200/.241/.345.
-
I'm gay, you got a problem with that? :dunno:
-
My bad, they replaced Ransom with Pena is what I meant to say. I get the two confused.
-
And how'd that work out? They brought up Ransom to replace him.

Sabathia only has a better WHIP because he has a completely unsustainable .256 BABIP, about .040 points below his career average. And you're grossly overexaggerating the difference between Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium. Yankee Stadium gives up a lot of home runs to lefthanded hitters, but when it comes to run it has a factor of 1.14 and Fenway has a factor of 1.03. If you want to go by ERA and WHIP though, then why might as well start using wins to compare them as well.
-
Figured, it had statistics and insight
-
You want to calculate park factors? Beckett's still clearly better with a 133 ERA+ compared to Sabathia's 123. I'm sure you don't have a desire to debate this because the numbers clearly show Beckett's been better, and the more you examine them, the better Beckett looks. The only thing that is close between their two is their non-park adjusted, non-defense adjusted ERA. Sabathia's been extremely lucky in that he's pitched to a mid .200's BABIP and he's had a lot of defensive help. His ERA will likely start to climb as those things even out. With Beckett's it's been the opposite. He's been unlucky on balls put into play and he's had very poor fielding behind him. If you adjust for those factors, his FIP shows that he'd have an ERA in the low 3's.
