  1. Maybe we'll luck out and Felix will suck more.
  2. Wow, Beckett's got nothing tonight.
  3. How has Pena not struck out already?
  4. What a terrible route to the ball, Reddick got turned around twice. The M's are hitting Beckett hard.
  5. Being old is a medical condition now?
  6. A pitcher's duel with a pitcher's umpire on the mound. Ripperger has called strike outs at the highest rate in baseball this year.
  7. You asked me to name more teams that could be interested, so I did. I didn't realize it was a challenge. No matter, I think we've established that there are teams that will be interested and he's going to be rather expensive to re-sign. There's really no point in arguing over whether the Tigers are "elite closer types".
  8. He's DHing and batting 5th.
  9. Dodgers, Rockies, Blue Jays.
  10. :lol: You held in the fact that you were trolling for a whole three posts. GTFO.
  11. The Brewers, Cubs, Tigers, Angels, White Sox and possibly the Nationals could be interested, to name a few.
  12. Too bad Drew's still out, he kills Hernandez.
  13. ...from last year. A lot of those players aren't even in our farm system anymore.
  14. He's compared himself to Mo multiple times. Considering there's typically a 10% inflation rate in contracts per year, I think 3 years/$45 million would be a reasonable request for him this season considering his career and this year. If anything, I would be surprised if he didn't ask for more.
  15. No. It's silly to think that arbitration where a player is guaranteed a 20% raise is a contract year. If you don't remember his delivery being all over the place, review video from the last two years. There were two years where he was all over the place and did not have his typical movement on his fastballs, or throw his splitter, etc. As for Bard's stats, I realize they're not the best in save situations, but at the same time he's never been named the closer. And if Papelbon asks for $15 million a year over 3 years like he likely will, I think the Sox will be wise to let him walk.
  16. I'm not so convinced that he won't go back to his stubborn, out of shape, haphazard delivery version once he's no longer in a contract year and I think he'll get paid more than he's worth in free agency. I'd much rather use Bard as the closer and sign 2 elite set up guys than re-sign Papelbon and use Bard as the set up man for the same price.
  17. Red Sox are up 2 games in the division with 2 favorable pitching matchups against one of the worst teams in the AL. The Yankees are down 2 games with 2 unfavorable pitching matchups against one of the best teams in the AL. Time to widen the gap.
  18. God damn, I wish the Yankees traded for him.
