All season I have been saying the same thing. They needed to rely on their starting rotation. If this rotation pitched to career averages, the team would be the best in the league. Its been a perfect storm situation, everything that could go wrong did. I keep saying its Farrell's fault, but everyone seems to ignore me. I expected between Beckett, Wakefield, and Lackey, atleast one would have a good season--considering that two of them were all-stars last year. But seeing Beckett give up 6+ runs, 3 games in a row... that's the final nail in the coffin. A team needs more than 4 reliable pitchers, its as simple as that.
-
I think its time to send Beckett to Pawtucket. He always wanted to be an ace... The Paw Sox need one, right?
-
-
Why won't they realize that MDC can't pitch with inherited runners? Its a 3 run home run waiting to happen.
-
-
Oh, okay, I was surprised for a while there. There's the Beckett we all know and love.
-
Who is this pitcher, and what has he done with Josh Beckett?
-
Oops, you're right. Drew will be day to day with mild chest soreness after that catch. Better?
-
JD Drew with a great grab!!! Too bad he's gotta go on the DL for that one.
-
Wow, 2.6 million for a prospect? Pittsburgh only has four guys on their roster worth that much.
-
I left out the middle part. If Beckett is halfway decent and gets lots of run support, you never know.
-
An elite Beckett could carry this team to the playoffs. A s***** Beckett will make it almost impossible.
-
Very good is not going to get it done as the Cy Young of the Year of the Pitcher. He's allowed 4+ runs in 4 of his 8 games with Texas this season. David Price has only allowed 4+ runs in two games ALL SEASON. He has just been far and beyond more consistent than any other pitcher-- besides Felix, who has 8 wins.
-
I don't remember the last time a CY Young race was so all over the place. Weaver leads in strikeouts, Buchholz leads ERA, Sabathia leads in wins, Felix leads IP, and Cliff Lee WHIP. No player truly stands out-- for every player with strengths, they have weaknesses. Felix's 8 wins ruin his chances, Price's 1.26 WHIP can't help his case, Buchholz's IP, and Cliff Lee lack of quality starts show why he's low on wins. Cahill could have a shot, but most people have never even heard of the guy, including myself. If I had to bet, I'd put my money on Price. He's leading a group of elite young pitchers to the playoffs. He's got a ton of wins, his ERA is great, and everyone knows who he is. Plus, the other two guys I'd put money on, Cliff Lee hasn't been great since going to Texas, and Felix just has half the wins Price has.
-
His ERA has been down to 2.70s on a few occasions this season-- as early as june 5th--, before having a bad outing or two that shot it up again. His 4 game losing streak really hurt him-- although I keep mentioning that they directly coincided with the 10 days before and after his wife gave birth to his first child. He's going to be an elite pitcher for years to come, and I do think if he wasn't distracted off the field, he'd have an ERA closer to 2.40, with 15 wins, essentially putting him directly in the running for the award.
-
Scary thought-- who would you prefer, Wakefield or Beckett?
-
Bowden looks like every high school bully I ever had.
-
Way to take the walk!
-
Well, besides when Lackey doesn't get one.
-
What's not to like about QS?
-
The point is that he's given his team just as many chances to win as perhaps the best pitcher in the league.
-
-
Cliff Lee-- 15 QS John Lackey-- 15 QS He's hasn't been great, but he keeps them in the game, which is more than enough for a top offense.
