    So you're saying going up against lights-out starters could give us problems. I agree, but I think that's a problem for just about every offense in history.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Not sure I follow. If they are good at getting starters out of the game with high pitch counts in the regular season why wouldn't that continue in the postseason.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Someday you're gonna have to show me your numbers on that. Generally speaking you only get to crush middle relief after you're knocked the starter out. Crushing middle relief is usually garbage time stuff like this.

    I think we've already seen their comfort zone tonight.
  5. Bellhorn04
    You do rock Taylor.
  6. Bellhorn04
    So we shouldn't get too excited about the offense just yet. Got it.

    I'm more concerned about our bullpen than I am about how our starters match up. On paper we would have a hard time winning many bullpen wars. Uehara has been incredible, but the bridge to Uehara is a little wobbly. It's a question of whether guys like Workman and Britton can step up and be postseason heroes.

    Schilling pitched Games 1, 4 and 7 of the 2001 WS. That's the last one I can think of.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Verlander has been one of the most dominant pitchers since 2006. But in 11 postseason starts (ignoring the 1 inning rain-shortened start) he only has 4 Quality Starts.
  10. Bellhorn04
    On average, he is. On a given day, who knows? Price has bad games like everybody.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Actually you do need 4 starters in a 7 game series now, because managers hardly ever use their starters on 3 days rest anymore. Look up the postseason game logs for the last few years and you'll see what I mean. Game 4 is usually on the 4th day after Game 1 because there's only one off-day between. If you remember back to the 2007 ALCS there was a lot of controversy over whether we should start Wakefield in Game 4 or start Beckett on short rest. Tito took huge flak for sticking with Wakefield, especially when he stunk and we lost. But it worked out well after that.

    Nope. 190/215/270, for the rare sub-.500 OPS.
  13. Bellhorn04
    That sounds good, but every loss would create panic and hysteria in the Nation. Even moreso than losses do now.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Leading to the brief and nasty Javy Lopez era.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Sure is nice when you pick up ground on an off day. Yankees lost too.

    It's OK. You're not much older than I was when I became a Sox fan in 1969. Back then the only way I could follow games was on the transistor radio, AM band. The game wouldn't start to come in clearly until about 8 Eastern time, an hour into the game. Amazingly, that hasn't changed over the years through all the technology. If I'm listening to the game in the car on AM radio it still doesn't come in till around that time.

    Jesus Christ...you made me look up the Massacre. On Friday Aug. 18 we lost a doubleheader by score of 12-4 and 14-11. The next day we lost 13-5. The MFY's scored 39 runs in 2 days.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Huh..doesn't matter whose thread it is...just trying to keep things more organized. It ain't like I'm getting paid for 'my thread'.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Dojji, that post belongs in the closer thread.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I think you and I both have the same amount of numerical evidence backing us up.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Alternating lefty & righty hitters is a logical strategy considering how teams use their bullpens now. In particular, most managers try to have their lefty relievers face lefty hitters as much as possible. If you string together a bunch of lefty hitters it means the other team can bring in a lefty to face a series of hitters. But if you alternate it makes it a lot harder for the other team to match up exactly how they want. So you either get a shot with a RH hitter against a lefty pitcher, or you force the other team to go through their bullpen faster.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Not exactly. The Giants had a 65% win probability in that game even without Villareal entering the game. (Just yankin' your chain there, man...)
  23. Bellhorn04
    Starts 5 IP 32.2 W-L 2-1 ERA 3.31 WHIP 0.98 K 20 BB 5

    Napoli's home run last night was 437 feet per ESPN Home Run Tracker.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Great game, great job winning the last 2 games of this series. Only allowed 5 runs in 3 games. Take that Dodgers.
