    Ummm....YUP! There is no longer any cogent reason for Mike Cameron to be penciled in to any lineup for this team. He should be released. He had his chance; it didn't work out. It happens.

    Isn't there anyone here who is going to defend Francona against these vicious attacks from some of the posters on this forum?
  6. FredLynn
    Its not happening tonite. With the lineup Francoma put up Lester had to hold them to one run, maybe two. We aren't getting three runs. http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm17/godzcanes/fat_lady_sings.jpg

    So who is going to email Tito to suggest this?

    One of the guys on a different forum, a former baseball scout, thought that Lowrie should start taking some reps in the outfield. He is athletic enough to do it. That would get Cameron out of the lineup and allow Scutaro, who has been playing well, to take over at SS regularly. It amounts to who you would rather have in the lineup: Scutaro or Cameron.

    Well put IORTIZ. The Mike Cameron experiment should be over by now. He had his chance. Even McDonald is a superior option, given the playing time, than Cameron. As is Lowrie. He has become an automatic out. Time for him to go

    One of the stat guys on the other thread I post on did an analysis last year on DiceK's success when he walks a lot of guys vs when he is more centered and throwing more strikes. I don't remember all the details, but the conclusion was that when he is walking more guys and nibbling more he is more successful in terms of runs allowed. Strange that runs allowed for him is inversely correlated with walks allowed. Apparently his is just more successful when he nibbles, even though that drives us nuts.

    Look at weather.com I heard showers later on in the evening

    P.S. Sorry for the spell but im posting from my cell Sorry to hear that. When do you get out?

    The crowd should be booing and mooning the team. What is this, LA? Give me a break. Yeah, the team does suck. Greatest preseason hoax ever IMO. World Series favorites? LMFAO
  16. FredLynn
    I bought into it too. Grossly over rated team. We will be lucky to win 82 games this year. We do not have the talent to compete with the Mariners and Orioles.
  17. FredLynn
    Because we all bought into the way the team was rated by the media before the season began. We are not that good, thats all. For a variety of reasons the players are not performing: Crawford cannot handle the pressure, Youk may still be hurt, Gonzo is not as good as advertised in the ALE etc etc This is the team this year. We are what our record says we are. Its not going to get any better, most likely

    Salty is not going to hit the ball here. In fact, Salty shouldn't even be on the roster. He should be in Pawtucket and Molina should be our catcher.
  19. FredLynn
    The game was over when the Mariners scored their second run
  20. FredLynn
    Yeah, we can put Crawford in the nine hole. Most expensive #9 hitter in the history of the game. Him and Varitek are getting outhit by most pitchers in the NL
  21. FredLynn
    No, he won't. But that doesn't mean its not the right thing to do. If nothing changes, nothing will change. Then it will be July and we will still be trying to get to .500. This team is seriously flawed. There is ZERO chance of making the playoffs the way things stand right now. Too many BUMS on the team.
  22. FredLynn
    Don't make it here often. And just stating the obvious. Gotta fire the manager: that will get their attention
  23. FredLynn
    This team is so screwed....really screwed. So many problems. Crawford cannot handle the pressure of Boston; Youkilis is probably still hurt from last year; Gonzalez is on a pace to hit SIX HRs; Varitek was hitting .111 last I heard, lower than most pitchers. The only way to fix this team is to do something drastic to get their attention, and I think they have to fire Francona and get a disciplinarian in there.

    I am not seeing the numerical values for average velocity here; probably blind. He did well in 09, but not as good as 07. I think his decline began in 07 (tough year to repeat) and the bottom fell out in 2010. Do you have his average velocity in 10 handy? Also, note the small difference in velocity range in 2010 compared to 07. If you change speeds on hitters it makes life a lot easier. For a year now he hasn't shown evidence of pitching well; hopefully its forthcoming in April. Edit: never mind. Got it. Average FB iin 2010 was 93.5, down a little over a mph from 07. In addition, the graph for 2010 shows that he rarely cranked it up to over 95 as opposed to 07.

    Another interesting graph on Beckett showing his HR/9 going up annually since 2007. There is really no objective evidence that Beckett can turn it around. I sure hope he does, but as yet I don't see it happening. Whatever is ailing him is still ailing him. Maybe Curt Young can help him; he sure did a great job in Oakland. http://www.fangraphs.com/graphs.aspx?playerid=510&position=P&page=4&type=full
