    I hate the way they do those stats though. They count 'blown holds' the same as 'blown saves' but they don't add saves and holds together. For example they show Tazawa as having 3 blown saves, but 2 of those were really blown holds where he came into the game in the 7th. It was a 'save opportunity', but only if he had pitched the 7th, 8th and 9th. Look into it and you'll see what I mean.

    'Numerous internal options' is overstating it a bit. We could put Alex Wilson at closer but I don't think anybody really wants that. I don't think anybody really wants Andrew Miller there either. So there's Tazawa and Uehara, but Uehara can't be overtaxed. So it's Tazawa, or a tag-team of Tazawa and Uehara.

    C'mon MVP, if we're going to do this, then Rivera blew two of the biggest games of his career too, probably costing the Yankees two more titles (2001 and 2004).

    I agree that we have several good arms at the back-end. But nobody has really stepped up as closer yet. Bailey may yet do it, but his recent performances are not reassuring. I think there's a choke factor involved in being closer of the Red Sox. There's a lot of pressure on that position.

    I'm not freaking about the Jays, they're just one more team we have to contend with and we have to look after our own business and all that. But the fact is they're now back in the picture and they do have guys pitching well and guys hitting well all of a sudden. It's just the way baseball is.

    In his last 4 save opportunities Bailey has 1 good save, 1 heart-attack save and 2 blown saves. In his last 11 one-inning appearances he has no clean innings, and has given up 12 hits and 6 walks. He really has to get it together.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Sorry, but this doesn't put it to bed. For one thing we could trade them Bailey for Papelbon. For another, GM's have been known to say one thing and do another. People wouldn't keep yammering about Papelbon if we had one f***ing guy who would step up and do the job as closer. Hasn't happened yet.

    [quote name='a700hitter']Predictions of their demise may have been premature.[/QUOTE] I agree.

    Fred is harsh, shall we say. Fred also had extreme doubts that Buchholz would ever become a good starter because he thought he was a 'Nervous Nelly'.

    The only sports team I really care deeply about are the Sox so I'm a pretty impartial observer of the NBA, I think. I think this Finals is an epic battle between two really evenly-matched teams that are pounding the snot out of each other. Both teams have too many superior offensive players to keep bottled up for very long. It's last man standing...

    It was lucky for the Heat that he got the opportunity to shoot it. But the shot itself was something he's been making his whole career.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Yes, I'm hoping for Overeasy to be smashed.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Dammit guys, gotta score more runs off Jake Odoriferous.
  14. Bellhorn04
    700hitter has praised Nava quite a bit this season though. Where's Mr. Sweet Chin Music these days? His calls on Nava and Iglesias don't look very good these days.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Daniel Nava is a bad man.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Surely we can score a bunch of runs off Jake Odorific.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I think what happened in 2009 was that the Twins had to agree to call the first one an official game. The score was 10-1 so they probably said f*** it, let's try to play the second one.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Look at April 22/09 doubleheader. The first game only went 7 innings. http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/BOS/2009-schedule-scores.shtml
  19. Bellhorn04
    I dunno, I remembered something similar and I just looked this up...a day-night doubleheader at Fenway back in April/09 against the Twins. The first game was called after 7 because of rain with the Sox winning. And they did play the second game.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Drew's hitting has been average for a shortstop and his defense has been above average.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Mariano has been off his game recently. 14 hits and 4 walks in his last 5.2 innings.
  22. Bellhorn04
    A lot of being a GM is just ******** luck.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Sanchez just hit the DL with a shoulder problem.

    Jon Lester since September 11, 2011: 54 starts 319.2 innings 174 earned runs 4.90 ERA 24 Quality Starts The 24 Quality Starts include 5 with the 'bare minimum' of 6 innings, 3 earned runs. If you eliminate those, you're down to 19 Quality Starts out of 52 games, or 36.5%.
  25. Bellhorn04
    3.06 ERA with Salty this year, 5.27 with Ross.
