  1. We need to start rebuilding the FO and coaching staff.
  2. We have to rebuild this rotation. I'm done with this crap. Try to trade Miley and Porcello. Send Kelly to Pen. See what happens with Buch the res t of the season. Give to Masterson a couple starts, if he shits the bed, DFA. Call some arms from the farm and start making the diligences for possible 2016 FAs/trades.
  3. Kelly sucks, send him to BP already.
  4. I think it is time to rebuild. A lot of things have to be addressed.
  5. Papi is officially done.
  6. Thanks God, Farrell didn't apply the 7-run rule. We're still in the game.
  7. No more 7-run rule anymore Farrell? Sky is falling.
  8. Well, it was really quick.
  9. I still do not understand why but in the land of the lord you have black sheeps as well.
  10. Not sure why Kelly is not in the BP already.
  11. LOL! We had had a civil discussion with Kim, sk, bell, etc. I do not think we have insulted them; sure we have disagreed in some points but as long as I know it has been civil.
  12. I was trying to be polite and fair, trying to make sure that you and everyone else got the conditions of the bet. Nothing more, nothing less. If you took it in the wrong way it is up to you. Said that and hasty or not you have to pay.
  13. The strategy was horrible since day one. They built a horrible pitching staff. A lot of question marks on the field as well. Now seems to be too late.
  14. The discussion has been civil, no one has been offended as long as I know, until U? appeared. Hopefully you do not make excuses, sorry you do not get offended, when it is time to pay me the bet.
  15. I do love high K/9 pitchers, who doesn't?... but when you look at a guy like Mark Buehrle, you have to consider him even with his low K/9 since he has a good command and excellent BB/9. He has a 3.82 career ERA over 16 SEASONS in which most of them he posted 3+, 4+ and even 5+ WAR numbers; and not to mention that he has been durable. In my book it is called consistency. I love consistency and durability regardless the stuff behind, reason why I like Lester, Shields, Buehrle, Papelbon, etc. Look, He is 36 YO and he is under 4 ERA these days. He is probably one of the most underestimated pitchers ever. Bring me 4 Buehrles' career numbers pitchers and I sign them anyday. Porcello's best WAR number is 2.8 through 6 seasons LOL!. Buherle posted 4 WAR in his second year of service, so... comparing him with Porcello just because both have low K/9 (Buehrle even below) is stupid.
  16. It is pretty clear that this is on Porcello, but U? does not like listen the true even when it is evident.
  17. Yup, while everybody here is talking about baseball (regardless you agree or disagree), he always starts s*** up. Hopefully the mods are taking note.
  18. As I said, When you sign a 80 M pitcher you let him perform as he used to. As I said it as well, it was very unlikely that this FO and coaching staff had something to do with this particular thing --Porcello's approach. I do not think they are that stupid. Said that, It's going to be interesting to know why he decided to change his approach. Probably he tried to increase his K/9, IDK. Either way and if that is the reason, it has not worked out thus far. His K/9 is still mediocre (6.9). If the theory regarding his K/9 improvemt is correct, He has to realize that he is not by any means a K/9 pitcher for once and for all.
  19. That's actually what the problem seems to be. "You see misexecuted pitches that lead to pitches just off the edge," Farrell said. "Inside of those innings where those mislocations are happening it's in the middle of the plate, it's not to the extreme. That's what we're trying to slow the game down in those moments and be more clear with the execution."
  20. Is it me or do we have a Bard 2.0 gestating here? LOL!
