    Wonder when is going to be the time for this team to realize that Clay Buchholz is done. When he is over 7 ERA?
  2. iortiz
    The more I think about it, IMO LL is the main responsible for the good and bad results under his tenure, and BC and Theo were nothing but his assistants at the time. The good thing for Theo is that it seems that he learned well LL lessons (good and bad) and got more experience, and is ready to execute in Chicago.

    Agree. That's the very least I would ask for Trout if I were LAA.
  4. iortiz
    I really doubt that LAA take that package for Trout. I wouldn't. Owens is not a top prospect by any means. Swihart doesn't have the value that he had two years ago. Benintendi isn't close to be reality..... but if Moncada, Benintendi, Swihart and Owens is the package to land Trout, I'd make in a heartbeat.

    I concur, I need to see them a couple of months more in order to make a call, and that includes James Shields.
  6. iortiz
    I meant throughout 9 y, not nine years ago. Also his last three years are very solid --- by era estimators and era, go figure.
  7. iortiz
    Era estimators after 9 year in the mid 3 are league average in run prevention? LOL! Yeah sure. Also, Zips, streamer and depth charts concur projecting very solid numbers this year for him... Again. Thus far he is in that highway.
  8. iortiz
    mmm... I love what I have seen in Wright... But I need to see more. IMO Porcello will regress to 4+ ERA soon. James Shields is a 3 ERA right now. Actually he is a 3.7 ERA career pitcher... But if you don't like ERA, his ERA estimators like FIP, xFIP and SIERA which isolate pitcher's abilities, James Shields is still a very good pitcher over 9+ years. The funny thing is that his ERA estimators and his ERA are practically the same -- around 3.7 over 9 y. i.e. The park friendlier and good defense arguments doesn't take away the fact that James Shields is a very good pitcher and he can pitch at great level anywhere.
  9. iortiz
    LOL! ERA estimators are meaningless in short samples, but if you like ERA estimators xfip and SIERA can tell you what kind of pitcher is James Shields. Last year he was a 3.7 SIERA/xFIP pitcher. He is 3.6 SIERA/xfip pitcher after 9 years, but if you like FIP he is 3.8 at it. Also, I said that he was pitching like an ace, because... Well he pitched like an ace today. Anyways, I'd rather Shields than any of our current staff no named Price, right now in our team.
  10. iortiz
    Yup. Probably he is not a No. 1 anymore, but a decent No 2? You betcha.
  11. iortiz
    James Shields pitching like an ace. We should trade him.
  12. iortiz
    Thank you guys. So JBJ is getting close.
  13. iortiz
    Hi TW101, wonder what is the longest hitting-streak of this franchise.
  14. iortiz
    JBJ is unreal.
  15. iortiz
    We have a say here in Mexico. A couple of flowers don't give you a spring. Our rotation is not oks by any means. We have won several games thanks to our offense, otherwise we would have been easily below 500. Our rotation is full of No. 4s-5s. Our SOS is -0.2 thus far (Strenght of Schedule). i.e. It has been kind of "easy". We are going to face tougher teams moving forward. DD must cook a trade for a SP before the trade deadline.
  16. iortiz
    .... and then you have Hanigan who is hitting below 200. This is going to be a tough game.
  17. iortiz
    Young is a biiiiig hole in the Lup. It's like we are playing in a NL park.
  18. iortiz
    Batting practice.

    Koji isn't going to be 2013 Koji again.
  20. iortiz
    It has been our Achilles heal since 2013.
  21. iortiz
    DD needs to cook a trade for a SP before the trade deadline, otherwise we are not going anywhere in POs with this pitching staff.
  22. iortiz
    Also CHC's SOS hasn't been that tough either, it is -0.1.
  23. iortiz
    Well, the SOS (Strenght of Schedule) of BOS and BAL is -0.2 thus far, while TOR is 0.4 (highest in The AL) TBR 0.3 (2nd) and NY 0.2 (3rd). On the other hand BOS's SRS is the best in the AL, it is 1.4.
  24. iortiz
    Our pitching has been the Achilles heel for a while in Boston.
  25. iortiz
    So 8 Rs are not enough for this pitching staff? wTF
