  1. Not sure about Holt but I would have added Miley and Porcello as well.
  2. You will have more chances to win if you are at least competitive every year. This team has not even been competitive in the last 3/4, reason why 2013 seems like a fluke year than anything else.
  3. Guys like Harvey, Fernandez, Gray, deGrom, Carrasco, etc are a pipedream. They cost a haul of very good young talent. We need to develop those arms. It is going to take a time. In the meantime, there is not other route. We have spend at least in two proven, durable and consistent arms, otherwise we are going to be the same disgrace going forward. It is pretty clear that we have enough 5s who are performing like 7s.
  4. I'm not comparing the offenses but still... with a better pitching, the offense could be taxed in the good way (by the pitching) What I meant is that we could have been fighting for a WC spot at least with a better pitching... like TOR or other team contending for a WC.
  5. Yup, but you did not get it.
  6. This team offensively is 11th and 13th in Runs and WOBA in all baseball. While I expected a bit more, it's fine. With an average pitching we could be at least fighting for a WC spot, a la Toronto Blue Jays. Imagine Lackey, Lester, Shields, ERod and whoever else. This staff would have been above average and the offense probably would have been even better as well.
  7. Seems very solid. Good control. Nice command. Nice velocity. Good repertory. Seems like you have a very nice young talent there.
  8. How good is this Severino?
  9. I just heard that and the Tigers have been in POs in recent years.
  10. They not only built a horrible rotation but a awful BP as well. The whole pitching staff is a joke.
  11. It is a shame we are lead by this clown.
  12. Officially we're done. It's time to rebuild this. This season was a joke... again.
  13. He's not only a bad pitcher but the gas in that tank is beginning to tax him as well. His contract has not even started and it is a mess already.
  14. ...and letting walk Lester and trading Lackey for garbage.
  15. Not sure why is so difficult to accept that it was a bad move. He is a bad pitcher. It is what it is.
  16. Young pitchers can improve, yes, but when they are talented, not because they are young. Porcello is not talented, that's the thing. This is what I've been saying since day one. He's mediocre at best, and probably going forward he is going to be worse than that if he remains in the ALE.
  17. Clearly he doesn't according to the note.
  18. Not for winning now, but later. Also it doesn't mean that he has to do it now.
  19. Just get goddamn pitching man! http://fullcount.weei.com/sports/boston/baseball/red-sox/2015/07/31/ben-cherington-admits-being-wrong-with-beginning-of-year-expectations-for-red-sox/
  20. I heard that something is/was wrong with their books/irs or something like that, and that next year they will be clean again.
  21. I wouldn't trade our WS but... thanks for 2013, we have to move on.
  22. Harvey is a beast. Mets just need more offense. I just heard that next year they will spend as they used to, is it true?
  23. I would take Shields in a heartbeat.
