    Pumpsie, you need to add ERA+ to your repertoire of stats. It's not a complicated stat at all. It takes good old ERA, adjusts it for the team's ballpark, and then compares it to league average. Hamels ERA+ 125 Shields 105 Lester 124 Price 117

    I'd say the next 5 games will be a good test of just where we stand on the Suck-o-meter, especially the offense. We face Samardzija and Maholm, then home to face Buehrle, Nolasco and Zambrano.

    There are a few details in there that I have to question. First of all I'd love to know where the quote came from that has Schilling calling the Sox "A piece of ****, loser organization." Pretty sure we would have heard that one before. Secondly, the negotiations between Schilling and the Red Sox went on for a period of several days and almost fell through because of Schilling's asking price. Schilling had the final say on the deal, regardless of how his owner felt about it.

    Thr career ERA at Fenway before he got there was a small sample size.

    IRT Lackey, people often bring up his poor numbers at Fenway, but fail to note that his last 3 appearances at Fenway while with the Angels were all excellent. July 29/08 9 IP 2 ER Oct 6/08 (ALDS) 7 IP 2 ER Sept 15/09 7.2 IP 2 ER

    Fine, give him 40%. But it was the 40% that converted the team from one that missed the playoffs in 2000, 2001 & 2002 to one that went to the ALCS game 7 in 2003 and won it all in 2004.
  9. Bellhorn04
    In your first post you said, and I quote 'He didn't have much to do with the 2004 team'. That is clearly not true. Yes, go ahead and get us the 'full story' on Schilling.
  10. Bellhorn04
    No, that's a fallacy. The 2004 team that won the World Series had Schilling, Arroyo, Foulke, Timlin, Ortiz, Millar, Bellhorn, Cabrera, Mueller and Roberts, none of whom were from the Duquette 2002 team. That's the top-winning pitcher, the closer and main set-up guy, the entire infield and the DH, plus a few more.

    Epstein's legacy is a mixed one, kind of hard to leave out the fact he was GM for the first two championships since 1918.
  12. Bellhorn04
    OK, but approving of a trade for both of the Yankees' top pitching prospects is really staying comfortably in the hypothetical zone, cause that certainly ain't happening.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Pretty good point you have there.

    Ortiz would probably hit like a man possessed if he went to the Yankees. It would be a new surge of motivation for him. I could see him haunting us for 3 years at least. Maybe that's just my old Red Sox paranoia coming out.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Jordan was the man. It's a huge compliment to Bryant that anybody even thinks about comparing him to Jordan.
  16. Bellhorn04
    No thanks. My head would explode if I ever saw Ortiz in pinstripes knocking balls into the RF porch and celebrating with A-Rod in the dugout.
  17. Bellhorn04
    We've got the edge in the pitching matchup...Felix's ERA is .02 lower.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I think it's too early to toss in the towel. But the thing about trading Youkilis is, it has nothing to do with tossing in the towel. It's about WMB being a better player right now. We'll be seeing Kalish in RF very soon. The transition is already underway.

    The K/BB numbers especially are tremendous...it's a very encouraging development to say the least.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Last 4 games for Buchholz: 31 IP 6 ER 28 K 6 BB
  21. Bellhorn04
    Hopefully Doubront gets back on track tomorrow.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Buchholz is 7-2. Too funny. If he keeps pitching like this he could get in the Cy hunt.
  23. Bellhorn04
    That's right. Valentine pulled off an amazing double switch earlier this year. The one where he took Middlebrooks out and put Punto in. Might have cost us that game. But it was interesting.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Ah, the great strategic dilemma of NL baseball. Pinch-hit for the pitcher, or don't pinch-hit. Makes the game so much more exciting.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I'm multi-tasking...following the game, getting some work done, and, occasionally, acknowledging other family members.
