Hopefully we score some runs before the 4th. Somehow the 4th inning for Lackey is scary.
-
RED SOX PLB is -185 1.5, so I took it. C'mon Lackey!
-
oh boy
-
Well, all depends on which prospects we are talking about. Something around Brentz or Lav as you suggested, I would do it. Something around JBJ or Xander, I would skip. What I would really have done, would have been give him that contract in 2011, but again, that's just me and few others included the Phillies
-
Yup, but still incomparable my friend, IMO. I really appreciate what you tried to do, though, I mean it. As I said, hopefully they give him a chance before keep trying with Bailey and becomes the answer.
-
Actually last year the participation was poor, but in other years, he had some fans. Beyond that, I think Jacko is a very knowlage baseball poster. You can disagree, though.
-
I wouldn't make a case comparing his numbers with Pap since as you said the sample is not comparable. On the other hand I would prefer give Tazawa a chance than keep trying with Bailey.
-
Naaaah I think it is nice way or attempt to recognize other posters' qualities. All TS posters should participate though IMO
-
We can agree to disagree, I have no problem at all with that. In fact, I will be pleased if Bailey bounce back or Tazawa/Koji/Miller turn in a Papelbon 2.0 version.
-
Koji? I like Koji, but cmon man he is another unproven closer. 15 SVs under his belt through 7 yrs doesn't make him a closer.
-
Use the search feature.
-
What's different? Everything man, everything. The environment is different. The pressure is different. The mentality is different. The batters focus even more when is a close game. Etc. if you do not notice that, sorry but we will agree to disagree. For some reason very few can succeed in the last inning reason why the closer role had become so important and a big difference in order to win more games, mostly considering how tough the competition has turned in recent years in the majors. Again, if you want to experiment with Tazawa, be my guest, I'm not in that band wagon.
-
Jacko (even he is a yankee fan) and Ted are two of the most baseball knowledge posters, look at the awards, I'm not the only one who thinks that way. Ted is often awarded in many categories.
-
Well, since he is "new" here I tried to make a compilation of that discussion that started 2 years ago
-
Do you aware that pitching in the last inning is something else than pitching in the 7th or 8th and mostly in close games and/or pressure situations? Do you? If not, do not keep reading, would be worthless the discussion. My point all along is that Papelbon is not an experiment. He's a stud in that role. Look at his career numbers. IMO He is in that famous Mo's highway . He's been consistent and durable for 9 yrs man, 9! And still young and with a lot experience under his belt ... And not to mention and mostly already proved in your own environment. Notice that I'm not saying that Tazawa couldn't do the job, but to me would be another experiment. He is an unproven closer in the end. I'm not sure about you, but I'm done with experiments. Look what happened with Bard, Aceves, Etc. and in the meantime those experiments and bad decisions had cost us a lot of money-- could have used on Pap's contract--, prospects and most important, wins. Again that is my opinion.
-
Yes, and that is my opinion. I already rest my case.
-
Playing the victim? Nahhhh man. Not at all. You say that to all that dare to disagree with you. That is a fact too.
-
I have no problem with people disagreeing with me in this topic or any other. Problem is that some posters want to convince others the way they view the game or any other topic saying that this has "no sense" or what is the other sentence? "You have reading comprehension problems", or even with personal attacks, when somebody thinks different. That has been the problem all along.
-
Hadn't noticed but glad to see that I have some fans even though they do not agree with me
-
My bad, I should say our backed of our rotation and depth with Aceves. Hopefully Webster had learned something about his last start and give us a possibility to at least keep us in the game.
-
bringing nothing to the table? C'mon man we have discussed this over and over and over so many times, look at threads, this isn't new at all. We already rest the case sooooooo many times. Sure, You can agree or disagree on this but saying that we haven't brought nothing to the table is not fair.
-
Not sure if we should explore another SP as well. Seems like our depth has worked out just fine lately with Aceves and Doub. Hopefully they keep going that way. On the other hand I have little concern about Buch's health and Lester's inconsistency.
-
Not sure why you try/want to convince me. Is that so important to u? Really?
-
Not sure what's your point man, but I think you know my position on this, don't you?
-
Really? C'mon man! That was buried. Done. We were talking about Bailey and you know it.
