    I don't care if it is the Tigers. Koji against the bottom of ANY team's order = win.
  2. Palodios
    Koji!!!

    Is Workman a Roogy?

    If you want to be technical, then the scenario is simply impossible, even if the "starter" gets 0 outs because the pitcher who starts the game is the starters. If Buch was on a 40 pitch limit or something in that range, he'd simply be a long reliever being used for a few early innings in the game. Another scenario from a few years ago.... Dice-k was scratched minutes before his start, and Atchison (who wasn't stretched out as a long man at the time) ended up starting the game, and the bullpen pitched the entire game. Not a playoff game obviously, but the Red Sox have done it before.

    Really? Haven't heard anyone talk about it much around here. That being said, the Sox have some good righthanded bats, they just haven't used them as much as they should.

    I don't know if this is just anecdotal observation or a trend, but it seems to me that the Red Sox haven't done a very good job of using platoons. Salty has hit very poorly against lefties this year, and yet he continues to get starts against lefties. Hopefully David Ross will do a good job of filling that hole. There are three guys with a difference of .200 OPS in splits. Salty, Stephen Drew and Daniel Nava. These guys need to be platooned.

    I skimmed it. It isn't exactly what he is referring to, but it is a similar scenario.

    Remember the 2011 season where everyone was asking... Who the hell do they get to pitch the 3rd game in the playoffs? With a back-end rotation filled with guys like Weiland and Bedard, the best option was to pitch Buchholz for 3 innings, and then see what happens. It would only make sense for a team with a top-heavy rotation and zero depth.

    The Red Sox have been shutout 6 times this year... when Lackey is on the mound. Wow.

    Ellsbury was jogging towards that ball. It looked almost like instead of making a good play, he tried to make a webgem play and failed.

    Iglesias has been absolutely brutal today. What a glove.
  12. Palodios
    You're referring to a very small sample size. If the Red Sox face the Rays without Price, The A's without Colon, the Yankees without Kuroda, the Royals without Shields.... the playoffs are a crapshoot, but filtering out a team's best pitcher will always go in a team's favor.
  13. Palodios
    Lackey is a beast.
  14. Palodios
    This is more or less what I meant. Either you're facing a team who went balls to the wall to get into the playoffs, and had the best guy available to pitch the wild card, or the team is firm in the wildcard slot and had their best pitcher start the wild card game. Either way, it is a big advantage that the #1 seed has over the #2 seed.
  15. Palodios
    It isn't just home-field advantage. Its also about being able to play a first round team who doesn't have their ace.
  16. Palodios
    Starters need to go 5 innings to get a win, so it may very well go to Workman.
  17. Palodios
    Huge hit by Ellsbury. Could very well be the game winner.
  18. Palodios
    In August, the Red Sox have lost 10 games. 5 of those were decided by 1 run.
  19. Palodios
    The Sox have 9 more games against the Orioles, so it isn't exactly going to be hard to lose grip on the season. If they continue having 10-15 LOB in one or two run games, they're not going anywhere. This team's ability to produce with men on has been so abysmal that they're not going win anything unless they turn that around.
  20. Palodios
    Its retroactive. Even if he is on the 60-man DL right now, he could be activated tomorrow because he went on the DL back in June.
  21. Palodios
    This is America. Instead, they have their faces put on magazine covers.
  22. Palodios
    I still can't figure out why he didn't go back to Japan this year. His MLB career seemed over, and he hated being here. Might as well go back home.
  23. Palodios
    He's been getting ready for a rehab start, last I heard.
  24. Palodios
    Perhaps we should find less expensive ways to execute a person then.
  25. Palodios
    The Sox have enough games packed together than using 4 starters won't make sense for the majority of the month. Between Doubront, Lester and Peavy, I can't make a strong case that any of those guys are more or less effective than the others
