    Also management's problem. I (and I will blow my own horn here again) cautioned against counting on two injury-prone pitchers for 2/5ths of the rotation since mid-November. The answer by the time the season rolled around was Kelly's great ST and Buchholz' stellar half-seasons every other year. Needless to say, both of those backfired miserably. They had options to increase rotation depth and did not do so. This is the end result.

    That's management's problem. But I've been singing this tune since before the season started, as you know.

    Mechanical breakdown: Typical symptom of overuse issues. Not surprising for a 41-year-old guy making appearances like he's fresh out of college.

    If the problem is mechanical, it's almost certainly an issue of overuse.

    First-game jitters.

    You have never, ever thrown a baseball from a pitcher's mound have you?
  7. User Name
    That tends to happen when mechanics break down because a pitcher is tired or sore. You pitched, think about it.

    Explain how you understand it Dr. Dojji.

    SBF got banned, and he retired, so he stopped being a grouch and now has sensible ideas. Such is life.

    Pomeranz and Price suck. Buchholz and Kelly are what this team needs. Talksox logic.

    I'm not talking specifically about you. If I was, I would have quoted you. And your point here is based on a bunch of "what-ifs", because you're assuming that Espinoza will both make the Majors and be productive for the time a team controls him. The possibilities of that happening are significantly smaller than the possibility of Pomeranz being productive here for 2.4 years. Saying otherwise is indefensible.
  12. User Name
    Your opinion is wrong then. Unfortunately, with the evolution of his repertoire and his results, he's not the same pitcher for all intents and purposes. Seven months ago the Braves don't ask for Espinoza+ for Teheran.

    Pomeranz is Red Sox property for two years after this one. It's a move for long-term improvement. Saying otherwise is silly.

    Everything is an "overpay" to some people here. The market dictates the going rate.

    9 days of little work does precious little to negate the wear and tear of early and often overusing a 41-year-old guy.

    How is Santana not a full season pitcher? Other than his injured half last year, dude has pitched less than 175 IP two times since he became a full-time starter in 2006. Buchholz has eclipsed 170 IP thrice in his entire career. Are you serious?
  17. User Name
    You are trying to create an argument that effectiveness outweighs IP to the point where one can infer that Santana and Buchholz offer similar value regardless of Buchholz' lack of durability. That is silly.
  18. User Name
    Nah, Price sucks, Buch rules.
  19. User Name
    You're massively understating the importance of IP, and twisting the argument to defend the indefensible.
  20. User Name
    The 47 IP/year difference doesn't tell you anything? That' s more than 7 starts per at 6 IP/start.
  21. User Name
    That's what happens when you have multiple people with different philosophies trying to call the shots.

    DFA Price! Reinstate Buchholz!

    Flags fly forever.

    That roster and salary relief led directly to a WS victory. How exactly is that questionable?
  25. User Name
    The possibility of a strikeout does skew the numbers somewhat, but the lack of the possibility of walking somewhat normalizes that fact. It's a two-outcome scenario. In an early count, the outcome only counts when contact is made, you either get a hit, or make an out.
