    Barnes being old Barnes again. It’s a shame.

    I wouldn’t call him a chocker. I would call him mediocre. Regarding POs, of course.

    Later in my life I have learned a couple of things. You can live with optimism and positivism or you can live with anxiety and negativism. It’s literally your choice. Regardless your thoughts, things that you can not control will happen regardless you thinking process (and still there’s the law of attraction), but the difference is that anxiety and negativism produce stress and depression. I believe in law of attraction, which helps a lot when you are positive, but that’s another topic. Said that, while I have been positive about the team, there’s objectivism and fairness as well to say that this team can turn around. It’s not like we are the Os and expecting to comeback. We are in the mix for a WC spot and not to far from TB which we will face again and likely with another momentum and with all engines synced and oiled. I still think we will win the division. Let’s f go!

    Velocity these days is not that important. What it’s important is a good repertory with great control and specially command. Chris Sale had always had the later plus of course the velo. As Bell said, if he can mix well his pitches and time to time he can throw 96-97 FBs, he will still nasty while protecting his arm.

    Sox have a great opportunity to win a bunch of games moving forward next couple of week. Booking wins will be important while gaining confidence again and enter into September strong. I still have faith compadre.

    If we win, say, 8 out of the next 10 games, Will the Sox have some merit?
  7. iortiz
    Sure, but I’m not disputing that. Thing is that some good players for some reason do not perform well or as expected in high leverage situations like Kershaw in POs.
  8. iortiz
    The offense slumped, the SP slumped and recently our biggest strength, the BP, slumped as well. It took more than I thought but hopefully the turn around begins tonight.

    Then, maybe is time to change your avatar Jacko.

    What, What?
  11. iortiz
    Thing is some people can handle pressure in a regular basis better than others. If that is not repeatable I don’t know why it is.
  12. iortiz
    Thank you compadre. I’m going to drink on your behalf then lol!

    I’m in Acapulco. Please tell me we are not losing again and vs Heany.
  14. iortiz
    Lol what question? If I have an answer I will answer. I swear. Just make it simple, please lol
  15. iortiz
    As I said since day one. Some people handle the pressure better than others regardless the activity. Baseball is not the exception. I think you are complicating this. It’s not complicated to me, but no problem. If you think handling pressure is not a skill/ability/aptitude, oks. I won’t try to change your mind moon.
  16. iortiz
    It’s not speculation lol Look at the numbers. Kershaw is mediocre in POs; a completely different pitcher compared with regular season. Not rocket science.
  17. iortiz
    While 3.54 is a good number it is still way far from his career number —2.4 ERA You are entering in the conjuncture and speculation field. The debate in that field is worthless. The fact still stands until his career ends and says otherwise. Kershaw is mediocre in POs and far from what his career pedigree suggests.
  18. iortiz
    Brutal series. We have to move on and forget this rapidly.
  19. iortiz
    Also, anything can happen in baseball but 5 gems for Kershaw in POs at this point of his career is very very unlikely.
  20. iortiz
    Close to his whole career numbers?
  21. iortiz
    Geez! Baseball Gods have just abandoned us lol
  22. iortiz
    As any career stat you have to add those 5 games in the mixer and see what you got in the BL, but 5 gems won’t change his PO career numbers that much I guess, and the BL certainly won’t be close to his whole career pedigree which is excellent and which is kind of the point.

    Not sure whether this is a crucial game but the point regarding the tweet is that it could ended up either way since the sample is not large and defining. That’s kind of the point.
  25. iortiz
    yeah but what Sporer is arguing in his tweet is that the sample is very small which I agree. IMO they need to give him a shot and let him go deeper in games regardless the result if they want to develop him as a SP. 4-5 IP in regular basis will tax the pen. If he simply can't go deeper in games, then he is not SP material.
