  1. Making s*** up is the morning piss of talksox. Everyone does it to some extent, but some more than others.
  2. Case in point: Chris Archer, Robbie Ray, David Price, and Michael Pineda. But the issue is that strikeout potential is one of the main indicators of dominance. If you combine strikeout ability with good walk rates, only very rarely do you get sub-standard results, and when you do, it's usually because the pitcher is allowing a ton of hard contact. Kluber is just the opposite. Great strikeout rate, good BB rate, around league average hard contact rates, which is a recipe for the results he's actually been getting.
  3. Mojo's stil crappy, but hey, clinch partay!
  4. You don't vote for MVP.
  5. I like where this is going.
  6. By the way I checked out the board started by old BDC members (pumpsie green, who was a poster here, is the admin) and surprise surprise.....fred is still an *******.
  7. The MLBPA and the owners would never allow for the reduction in the revenue stream.
  8. My record has been terrible this year, but I'm hoping for a mojo renewal akin to Buch's phoenix act the second half!
  9. It was posted days ago that Porcello was the starter for the Sox' first playoff game. Don't know where you came up with that one.
  10. VWL. He's played occasionally.
  11. I think he means the Sox' recent record with pitching prospects, in which case he is actually correct.
  12. Hard to follow up the best winning streak in talksox mojo history, but there's no party like a clinch party! In fact, my balls are so big I'm choosing a Clay start for my attempt at a "clinch the division" GT! Buchholz: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/images/players/head_shot/453329.jpg 8-10, 5.00 ERA Vs Mitchell: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/images/players/head_shot/571951.jpg 1-2, 4.50. These two *******s have faces only a mother could love, but our ugly will beat their with the ugly stick! WIN!
  13. Didn't I beat you last time we made a bet? I suggest calming your tits mister.
  14. You're not the only person here whining about Price, but I welcome all challengers. I tend to avoid betting because I think it's a disgusting habit, but I'll make an exception. How about something simple like 5 dollars per bet?
  15. You're missing the point. Pitching to contact entails defense and BABIP luck, while a high strikeout volume does not. It's a simple and indisputable fact. That does not mean a pitcher is better than another pitcher because he K's more batters, but strikeouts correlate to/are generally more conductive to dominance, although correlation =/= causation as we all know. The funny part is, a lot of you now devaluing strikeouts probably had the exact opposite argument in 2002 when Zito won the Cy over Pedro, but whatever.
  16. I'm willing to bet actual money that Price pitches to career averages next season and the guys who are constantly whining about him immediately jump on his dick and rave about how awesome he is while denying ever criticizing him, just as some are doing with Porcello right now.
  17. I'm fine with Pom Pom for the next two years, and the Sox had the option of handling him with more care. Everyone knew the large innings jump would have a negative effect.
  18. Here is my 25-man roster: C-Leon 1B-Hanley 2B-Pedroia SS-Bogaertss 3B-Shaw LF-Benintendi CF-Bradley RF-Betts DH-Ortiz Bench: C-Vasquez UTIL-Holt OF-Young IF-Hernandez IF-Marrero SP: 1)Porcello 2)Price 3)Buchholz 4)Rodriguez BP: Kimbrel Uehara Ross Jr. Ziegler Kelly Pomeranz Tazawa That's my 25-man playoff roster. I would carry the extra position player, and use two BP lefties, but drop Hembree.

  20. Robbie Ross Jr.
  21. In this case, both you and your daughter are wrong.
  22. Edwin Encarnacion will be a member of the Red Sox. You can write it in blood.
