    I fully expect a great night of Pom. Snell is their best guy, but still.
  2. iortiz
    Kind of the point.

    So the other years don’t help but this does? Thus far he is a 86 SV% closer— My guess wasn’t that bad LOL! Yeah, the sample doesn’t help. A closer is typically your best RP. IMO Miller is better than Allen, but Miller doesn’t close. Think about it. Probably Miller wasn’t the the best example, but would I give him Kimbrel’s money to play as a closer? Hell no. The 9th inning is not for everyone —check out how many succeed trying to replace Papelbon no named Kimbrel.

    86% is not an elite number to me. Miller is an excellent set up guy, but a closer? mmmmmm... the fact he is not, probably speaks volumes. The point is that the 9th inning is not for everyone.

    Well, I have some bad memories watching him closing. I have to check the numbers, but I could bet that his career SV% is not even 85%, which is not what you expect from a guy who is that good.

    Regarding relievers, I think most of us think that most of them are crap shots. On the other hand, only a dozen or fewer can handle high leverage situations decently while staying relatively healthy, but not year after year consistently. Only a handful or fewer can handle consistently high leverage situations year after year while staying healthy —Kimbrel is one of them. Also, As I always have said, the 9th inning is not for everyone regardless the stats under your belt —Look at Miller, excellent reliever (setup man), awful closer. Said that, pay the man.

    JD looking good in the OF too. Let’s make a couple of runs insurance.
  8. iortiz
    Can’t wait to watch him at Yankee stadium with Mookie, Beni and/or Hanley on base.
  9. iortiz
    JD, the man! Let’s go!

    We won today and is very likely we will win tomo. Then we play to KCR who are horible and TB who have played like the devil rays against us. We are the best team in baseball thus far and we will be there for a while. Enjoy it fellas.

    Mi compadre Velazquez has been pitching so great. Keep going!
  12. iortiz
    Moreland after watching videos and stats from the pitching coach —thanks I got it, watch this. LOL!
  13. iortiz
    Another Grand Slam? LOL! Wow!
  14. iortiz
    The OPS when the Sox face for the 3rd time a pitcher this season is 1.300? LOL! Unfair. Finish them.
  15. iortiz
    Moooooook! He wasn’t going to go hitless against Graverman.
  16. iortiz
    Johnson and Velazquez are huge assets for us.
  17. iortiz
    Well, Pom has settled down and 2017 Pom is officially back. Let’s pound this bush league team already.
  18. iortiz
    Lot of land to cover. JD should DH in the next couple of games.
  19. iortiz
    f*** u ump, it was a nasty pitch and a K.
  20. iortiz
    So, anyone still interested in trade JBJ? LOL! Whata bomb!
  21. iortiz
    So we won, again? Geez! Wonder if this team is going to lose again. Life’s great.
  22. iortiz
    Mookie is just unfair.
  23. iortiz
    Ok ok Seems I missed something Spud LOL! Just read the rest of the thread.
  24. iortiz
    LoL! Didn’t know you don't like Moreland Spud. At least he had a decent game last night.
  25. iortiz
    Great night for Moreland.
