Ben actually said at some point that he had strongly supported the signing of CC. He wasn't the GM at the time, I realize, but it didn't sound like it was a move Larry was shoving down everyone's throat. Also Larry was a key figure in the trade of CC to the Dodgers.

29.1 of Price's 66.2 postseason innings have come against Texas. He has given up 18 earned runs in those innings for an ERA of 5.52. What's weird is that Price has given up an identical 5.52 ERA against Texas in 75 regular season innings. Which raises another question - why does such a good pitcher have so much trouble with one particular team? We've seen it with other pitchers, like Tazawa's numbers against Toronto. The old adage is 'that team just has his number'. Maybe it's something psychological or maybe that team has figured out something about him tipping his pitches, who knows.

Sure, but then you've got David Price, one of the best pitchers in the game, with a 2-8 record and a 5.54 ERA in the postseason.

Some guys do play harder than others. It's pretty hard to tell if a hitter isn't going all out. You certainly see it in some fielding and base running efforts, though.

Melissa for 69, huh? -
Yeah, this is why I like to look at postseason stats, even though I know it's a simplistic approach and the samples are relatively small.
-
I like your signature...good lines from the Eagles.
-
Taylor might be back up in a hurry. He pitched a long stint so he needs rest anyway.
-
Wake up somnolent bats!

Kimmi thinks we didn't really need Sale. I think that remains to be seen.

It seems to me that when a player comes through with a big hit, say a walk-off hit in a postseason game, most fans just say, 'Wow, what a clutch hit.' If it was a guy like Ortiz who did it multiple times they'd probably add 'That Papi is some clutch hitter!'
-
A player is not in the same frame of mind every at-bat, that is for certain...there are many things that can change because us human beings are fairly complex organisms. Of course, being able to identify and measure the effects of these things is problematic to say the least.

April 12 vs. The Damned Orioles

We're only 8 games in, it's a little early to see any patterns. -
I take no pleasure in Buch getting hurt, but we were fortunate we moved him.
-
Lumping other posters into one big homogenous group is never a good idea in my opinion. We're all different to some extent.

Absolutely, people will turn on DD in a heartbeat. That's the way it goes. People turned on Epstein and Francona. It's always 'what have you done for me lately'. It's a tough gig and these guys know it.

A very pleasant night at the ballpark. -
Well, you should have left this part out. Some nasty pre-judging apparently aimed at everyone who's trying to stay positive about the team's future.

Leon and Vazquez might turn out to be a pretty nice tandem this year. -
Well, that's the key to the whole thing. If they make smart moves over the next few years we should still be in good shape.
-
Fine game for him tonight. Very encouraging indeed.
-
Good point.
-
It's all about the 3 C's.
-
What's really important is that a pitcher has command in the clutch.

Watch out for mvp. It's a little-known fact, but many accountants have very twisted senses of humor and it's often hard to tell if they're being serious or not.
