    Lester is making all as possible to lose this game.
  2. iortiz
    And give me more points in my fantasy game
  3. iortiz
    Seems like we won't use a closer today, yes!
  4. iortiz
    Ells!

    Right now, u just can't sit down Iglesias.
  6. iortiz
    C'mon man you are taking those quotes out of context.
  7. iortiz
    We all hope.

    Mystical figure? Naaaahhhhh:lol: He's is one of the best in that role in the past, these days and looking forward. He's proven. He's durable, and gets the job done. That's all.
  9. iortiz
    You compered him, not me. It was just a perspective. All I'm saying is that he is still posting good numbers, for what he is paid for, which is to shout down the last inning. No more and no less my friend.

    Not sure if you're talking about Pap there, but if so... Please, do not put his name along with those busts in the same sentence Don't worry, they already said, that Tazawa or Koji will take that role. If the experiment doesn't work out again for us and if the option to trade Pap is there I would at least explore it.

    If you look at the numbers, Papelbon is driving in Mo's highway. Do not forget that he is only 32 and with 9 ys of consistency and durability under his belt already.
  12. iortiz
    Exactly. This BP would be like the Incredible Hulk, almost indestructible.
  13. iortiz
    Nobody said that, but could heal several direct and collateral damages
  14. iortiz
    Plus he is talking about a decline. Last year he posted 38 SV/90% SV% in 70 IP with a 2.44 ERA. This year he has 14 SV and 1.95 ERA through 27 IP. He seems very athletic and unless he is hit by a truck or something, he'll be fine. Plus he has said several times that he has become a better pitcher since arrived to Philly. He has developed his repertory and doesn't depend only in his fastball which still moves a lot and explodes topping 95. If he comes back, this team will be a serious contender.

    I could make the same assessment for Mo by cherry picking his bad moments and that wouldn't mean that NY made wrong giving him that money. Don't fool yourself my friend, Pap's departure was a mistake and is taxing us in so many different ways. That's a fact.

    Sometimes you will play 500 and sometimes 500. That's not the point at all. Point is that you have to go day to day and always aware in which position you are on regardless the month and adjust if something's wrong instead of saying, "don't worry, it's April" or react until September when could be late like happened to us ln recent years. A solid 2011 start could give us the POs. A solid 2012 start could have chenged the perspective, who knows. Accomplish short objectives drives you to make the big ones, so April is as important as September even in the standings; remember, in the end the sum of the W/L columns of each month gives you the final result.
  17. iortiz
    If the option is open, we should at least explore it, mostly considering that this year we could have good chances to splash after 5 years of failures.
  18. iortiz
    Agree. I remember in recent years when we had weak starts and everybody said, don't worry, it is April. Don't worry, it is May. Don't worry, it is June, etc. and when September arrived we were eliminated already. A Win count the same in April and September. You always have to worry about the standings. Look at Toronto, seems like they will bounce back

    The other day Ted posted a very interesting article about the money expended in closers and the collateral damages that this team had to deal with since Pap left. It's crazy how his departure has damaged this team, not only in money but in other situations.
  20. iortiz
    Not sure if this is regarding Pap. But if so, Pap wouldn't be the cause of a debacle SFF or turned this team like the Dodgers or the LAA, and you now it. Just the opposite. On the other hand I have never said that the Tazawa/Koji or whatever experiment won't work it out. Never.
  21. iortiz
    When Papelbon walked I thought that Bard was the natural replacement too, although at the time I thought that he wasn't ready for the role, but you didn't have another option. Instead they made him SP and the rest is history. Yes Station, this is on them.
  22. iortiz
    Thing is that all your boys are unproven closers. Notice that I'm not saying that those experiments won't work it out. Point is that you already had the solution. Now, you have a year and a half without results. Hopefully this time work it out for us.
  23. iortiz
    At this point this matter has turned like the Curse of the Bambino
  24. iortiz
    That's not my point at all. My point is that all those experiments/acquisitions/trades haven't worked out. You had the solution and let it walk.
  25. iortiz
    You arguably had the best duo in the last two innings in the majors already. Bard-Papelbon. The first, his career was screwed. The second was released. Whata brilliant move. Now we have a mess in that regard.
