  1. Why would you say that, when Buchholz has a career ERA+ of 108?
  2. I think Kelly has been a disaster. 20 innings of 6.30 ball in spite of one great start. He's a tantalizer, all right. Maybe even a worse one than Buch.
  3. Buch and Kelly have been disasters, as many expected. Kelly got our hopes up briefly again, but the numbers show that in spite of one great start, he has only pitched 20 innings and he has a 6.30 ERA and a 2.00 WHIP.
  4. I'm serious. I argue with them at times but I know they understand some of this stuff a lot better than I do.
  5. It's not that for me, it's Buchholz and Kelly and their effect on the rotation in general. They were a big worry at the start of the year and even moreso now, because they've been awful.
  6. Not everybody wants or needs baseball to be extremely complex. People like you and Kimmi and sk7326 are super-analytical about baseball because you're into it, and you're all very good at it. But we're all wired a little differently.
  7. Unfortunately Kelly is no better than Buchholz, just cheaper.
  8. Kelly is no better than Buchholz. He's just about the same guy. Very impressive at times, brutally inconsistent and fragile. The two bastards really showed their stuff these last two games.
  9. I can certainly see where that kind of data can be useful analytical information. I just don't think it's the kind of data you need when you're watching a game. I think there's a point where there's too much information.
  10. Depends on the exit velocity the cannon generates.
  11. I have no trouble with Yastrzemski. I just think 'Yaster - zemski', which is totally phonetic, then remove the first e.
  12. I think the Sox let Ellsbury walk and I think they were absolutely right to do so, and I think most Sox fans feel the same way.
  13. I'd like to see the story.
  14. The Yankees have really only declined the last few years. Between 1995 and 2012 they only missed the playoffs once.
  15. I don't think the Sox made any serious attempt to re-sign Ellsbury.
  16. How much did we offer Ellsbury?
  17. It's a hallmark of the franchise.
  18. I have no doubt that exit velocity could be useful for analysis purposes. But at the same time it could be quite useless to the average fan. Personally I don't think it will ever add anything to my baseball experience.
  19. It's just part of the technobabble of modern sports. In golf now you have 'clubhead speed', 'launch angle', 'spin rate', and 'ball speed'. It's not good enough anymore to just say the guy hits it a f'king mile.
  20. They can put Clay on the DL for whiplash after last night.
  21. Lie detector tests for team medical staff?
  22. Chalk up another Sox Pitching Prospect Bust.
  23. RIP Clay Buchholz Red Sox career.
