Going to the 17th inning in this one.
-
Sounds to me like there will be plenty more to read about this in the days ahead.
-
That's so remote not even NASA can track it. :-)
-
Of course they do.

It's their Canada Day jerseys.

If ever there was a perfect definition of Pink Hat, it might be this: "Someone who sings Sweet Caroline with the facial expression of a happy drunk at midnight on New Year's Eve, even though the Sox are losing by 5 runs."

It looks like Workman will be back sometime this season. Who knows how much help he can be this year. Here's hoping the best for him.
-
That's not the issue. The issue is that the ace has a 4.74 ERA at the end of June.
-
My point is I don't know why you're surprised people are all over him when it's just normal fan behavior.
-
Really? It's not much different from the way people got on Porcello last year. Or the way Sox fans always get on guys who are making huge money and underperforming. At the same time Price is a guy who deserves some extra patience with his track record and his obvious work ethic.

Here are the quotes from Donaldson, which I thought were quite interesting, and balanced. “The first year or so hitters aren’t going to like it,” he said earlier this year. “You’re going to get those breaking balls that are in the dirt — big 12-to-6 curveballs that hit the plate — they’re going to be strikes. You’re going to get the high fastballs up there, they’re up, but they’ll be strikes.” “Day in and day out, our strike zones are different. I’ve been punched out two times this year at balls in my neck. I would be into it. If you could have the strike zone the same every day, you’d get used to it and have better awareness.”
-
Yeah, that's the way I read it too. I just don't understand why they would try it. Easy enough to get caught, obviously. Should withhold judgment until verdict is in, I guess.

Unbelievable.

6/28 @ an empty auditorium with some cow bells

Now that's just a lie. -
Good point. On the same note, they're 14-2 in Kershaw games, 30-35 in other games.
-
They're not pitching as well as Lester and Lackey, but try to imagine our pitching staff without them.
-
We don't have many candidates. Uehara and Tazawa are possibilities.
-
Selling our good pitchers is the last thing we want to do. (Remember the last time we did it?) Usually you sell guys who are closing in on the end of their contract.
-
Stories from a couple days ago say the two sides are far apart in negotiations. Not very encouraging.
-
In another article I read on this topic it was opined that the players don't want to go on record that they want the umps replaced because they think it might get them unfavorable treatment from the umps. Also, if you read Josh Donaldson's comments in this article, they are generally positive about making the change.

6/29 @ blow up this stupid stadium
Bellhorn04 replied to mvp 78's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Price could be wrong or Farrell could be wrong. The total disconnect in their statements tends to suggest nobody knows what the hell is going on, which, along with things like the stupid base running blunders, adds an element of buffoonery to the team's struggles. -

It seems to be the pattern this year. Lots of K's, lots of hits. -
Setting aside ERA for a moment, Price has given up a .735 OPS this year compared to .621 last year.

And a former pitching coach no less. Stuff like this really does make you wonder if the guy is a buffoon. -
If Farrell stays we're screwed.
