    People thought that he was going to be an automatic top-of the-rotation guy when he joined to the staff after his injury. He's a kid who still has to be shaped, and going to take time. DD has to upgrade this staff with someone.

    Twins being the twins.

    The Cubs

    Yeah and their offense is outstanding too. I really would like a WS against them.

    Great memory and post my friend. Here in Mexico all the streets were empties when he pitched. He was a phenomenon in a sport which arguably was not even at our top 3 at the time. Valenzuela is in the same top tier where only Hugo Sanchez and Julio Cesar Chavez are of all times in Mexico's sports history.
  5. iortiz
    Definitely no one saw that coming, not even himself LOL!. It's very refreshing to watch him pitch after a year of very very bad pitching. Hopefully he can keep this level.

    Mexico leads its group in La Copa Amerca Centenario after 2 solid wins vs Uruguay and Jamaica. Next Monday we will face Venezuela. The most likely team we are going to face in the next round will be Chile, but we need to at least tie against Venezuela. As I said, I like our chances to win it all this time. Colombia, Argentina and Brazil are also favorites. My guess is that the semifinals will be Mexico vs Brazil and Argentina vs Colombia.
  7. iortiz
    LOL! Yeah they arguably the worst team in the AL.

    Wonder what would it take to land Ventura if so... The KCR will try to sell his youth and relative success in recent years like gold.
  9. iortiz
    Probably it is about semantics. Yeah, Ventura at the No. 5 spot is not a bad idea. On the other hand, IMO we have to grab first a solid No.1-2 and then if you want Ventura, I do not see it bad --at reasonable price of course.

    Yordano Ventura's career run prevention #s concur at 4. (SIERA, xFIP, FIP). His SO #s are great but he walks a lot of people. This year he has been awful in almost every metric, but before 2016, he had solid No. 3 numbers. He is young and his ceiling could be interesting in his prime, but seems like his head is somewhere else. If he is coached well (mentally and physically) he could end up posting what his career ERA says or maybe better moving forward. --3.8. Am I interested? Well, If he is supposed to be a depth arm --plus his upside and youth-- , I'll take him anyday of the week at a reasonable price, but if he is supposed to be the answer to our pitching problems, I pass.

    While I want the right calls in the strike zone --who doesn't-- the "flavor" of the game with all this technology and new rules --like the sliding thing at 2nd base-- is kind of losing some "essentials" of the game. Probably most of old school fans are against technology while most of youmg fans are in favor. IMO the way the calls are made won't change or at least not soon, so we have to live with it whether you like it or not.

    Also as far I remember MIN doesn't have a good offense, so this shouldn't be a big deal for Wright, E-Rod and Porcello.
  13. iortiz
    Hopefully not Spud, although the offense has cooled down a bit. Seems like we are going to need that our pitching staff do the job this time.
  14. iortiz
    Back to topic. A series vs MIN is coming, I'll be surprised if we don't sweep them while TOR and BAL will face each other, it will be a great opportunity to re-take the lead of the division.
  15. iortiz
    Well done YTON. It was getting ridiculous.
  16. iortiz
    I was thinking just the same. Young should have taken that AB, he was a better bet than Shaw who is slumping. Then you should've gone with Papi. Not sure what Farrell was thinking.
  17. iortiz
    This what I call an ace performance. We have to win this. Their ace is not pitching anymore. Their BP shouldn't be an issue. Also, Price could easily pitch another inning and set the table to Kimbrel.
  18. iortiz
    Price's pitch count is at what? 54? at these pace he could go all the way.
  19. iortiz
    ...and just like that the lead is gone.
  20. iortiz
    The last numbers I have in mind are that he is OPSing something around 800? Didn't see that coming.
  21. iortiz
    Young!

    As I said, It is fair to say that most of us think/thought that Shields is/was better than Porcello --included U?--, otherwise why would we want him if he is/was worse? It simply doesn't make sense to land Shields if he is/was worse than Porcello. Of course, Shields is a bet. He is getting older but his last 3 years and his starts before SEA suggested the he could be a safe bet. On the other hand, after his start vs SEA and tonight against WSN, can we say that he is already done? or these two starts were just bad days? IDK but honestly I do not care because he is not an option for our team.
  23. iortiz
    If he was worse than Porcello why did you want him in Red Sox uniform? Also, the point was that he was way better before his start against SEA. As always you don't like to see the facts.
  24. iortiz
    We are going to win this. The pitching matchup is tie, but we have way better offense. Go Sox!
  25. iortiz
    As I said, while I was talking about Porcello -- who is in our team-- somehow U? brought him. Go figure.
