    Well, this has been said many times already but I think it's true. In 2013 the Sox signed good character guys. Then they went completely against that by signing guys like Pierzynski and Hanley.

    I know it's a word that's used, but there has to be something better than 'handedness'.
  3. Bellhorn04
    This game thread will be a hard one to top.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Chad Finn is a good man.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Yankees down 7-0.
  6. Bellhorn04
    I wouldn't be surprised if they have a 'change of heart'.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Nicely done.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Which gets talked about more here, Rick Porcello's ERA or his WHIP?
  9. Bellhorn04
    Well OK, that's just this guy's arbitrary criteria. Screw him. On this site we normally used good old Earned Run Average, and Beckett's ERA for his start was 47.26. Bard's was 26.99.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Here's a boxscore from 2006 where Beckett gave up 7 earned runs in 1.1 innings. That does appear to be worse than 5 earned runs in 1.2 innings. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYA/NYA200606050.shtml

    Because we now have one of the worst bullpens in history.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, it is pretty specific. It belongs more in the category of most horrifying starts. It signaled that a guy's career was suddenly ruined.
  13. Bellhorn04
    What do you expect from Sox fans? We're brutal. Pettitte was a good one. Consistent and durable. Theo Epstein said he's hoping Lester's career path will be like Pettitte's.

    Porcello's season resumes on Wednesday against the White Sox.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I hear that. But they have really done their best to make themselves look like terrible investments.
  16. Bellhorn04
    His innings are pretty much in line with what they were in 2013 and 2014. But he does seem to be worn down and should probably be DL'd or shut down for the year.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I would say a secondary reason for people being OK was that they thought JBJ was ready to step in.
  18. Bellhorn04
    The truth is that nobody wins on the big free agent deals except the players. Only a small % of these deals come close to value for the teams. The Yankees made that huge splash before 2009 with CC, Tex and Burnett. They got a championship out of it so maybe it was worth it. But they ended up getting burned on those deals eventually which is what almost always happens. The Sox approach has been a disaster the last two years. There's no easy road to success even for big money teams.
  19. Bellhorn04
    That sucks. On the positive side, the Yankees lost and the Jays are winning.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Porcello's extension doesn't start until next year, so the verdict is still out on that money.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Wow. Cool fact.
  22. Bellhorn04
    How the hell am I twisting the argument? Not re-signing Ellsbury was the right move. It's not part of the reason 2014 and 2015 have sucked. That's all I've been saying all along.
  23. Bellhorn04
    $22 million a year is much too much for an average-hitting corner outfielder. If you say Cruz or Cespedes would have been much better than Hanley I can't argue.
  24. Bellhorn04
    We would be better off defensively with anybody other than Hanley out there.
  25. Bellhorn04
    The loss of Ellsbury hasn't affected us much this year. As someone here said, our offense is fine - it's the pitching, stupid!
