    Yup, there's a lot of opportunities to give players a break and tweak pitching match ups.
  2. SoxnCycles
    The more I think about it, them more I like using the DH spot like some other teams do, as a chance to give a position player a break from the field next year. It's not like this team is in dire need of another bat. I like Encanacion, but I'm sure I wont like what he's going to ask for.
  3. SoxnCycles
    To quote Eck from last night's game: "They're about to fall out of the tree they're in". This last run got them close, but I don't think they're going to get in.
  4. SoxnCycles
    Agree.
  5. SoxnCycles
    If the alternative is Owens, I keep Buchholz in the rotation. It looks like the bullpen is settling down, with Koji healthy and the Sept callups helping out. The rotation is miles better than it was two months ago, thanks to Price and the aquisition of Pomeranz. The team is finally firing on all cylinders and at the perfect time. Don't "experiment" with the rotation.
  6. SoxnCycles
    True, but if we're talking about playoff starts, I trust a guy that has been there before, rather than a kid with a years worth of ML starts. Pomeranz will be an option, if the workload doesn't catch up to him by the end of the season. Go with Buchholz until he gets injured or flops.
  7. SoxnCycles
    Yup, I hear you. I agree, it would've been a mistake to DFa him. They made the right move in putting him in the pen. It either woke him up a little, or it gave him a chance to fix whatever problem he was having. I've always thought Buchh was a head case, so I'm guessing that it's the former.
  8. SoxnCycles
    That's what Buchholz does to fans. Name another pitcher that can be so bad, and then so good, in a single season.
  9. SoxnCycles
    Assuming Wright continues to have shoulder issues, Buchholz is going to get about 4 more starts. If he goes on a run, like he has in the past, he'll be too valuable to go to the pen.
  10. SoxnCycles
    Yup, and about all I'd trust E-rod with, as far as the playoffs are concerned, is watching them from the dugout.
  11. SoxnCycles
    You really shouldn't take this stuff so seriously. It's not good for you...
  12. SoxnCycles
    Then the Sox should definitely do the opposite.
  13. SoxnCycles
    The rotation is finally looking good, thanks to Buchholz and Pomeranz. The bullpen still scares me, as far as the playoffs go. The Sox will need Koji to be that 8th inning guy.
  14. SoxnCycles
    That's catfishing.
  15. SoxnCycles
    Yup, he's been a little uneven, offensivesly, but he's coming on at the right time! And while he's not going to win any fielding Bible awards at first,he done much better than most probably expected.
  16. SoxnCycles
    Here? At TS?? The bastion of objective thinkinng??? Come on!!
  17. SoxnCycles
    Enjoy the visit.

    Anyway, Moncada can play in the playoffs.

    Any where from the box seats to the grandstands are a good place to sit. Fenway is small, as stadiums go, so there are very few "bad seats. The grandstands have support columns that block part of the field, but unless you're struck right behind one, it's not much of a problem. Loge and field box seats don't have that issue. About the only place you don't want to sit are the right field seats. They face right field, not home plate, so the sight lines aren't great. I usually get there at about 3:30-4:00. that's plenty of time to wander around, get a bite to eat and a few beers.
  20. SoxnCycles
    Yup, they're not getting anything from Shaw or Hill right now.
  21. SoxnCycles
    Per Rob Bradford WEEI: "Under MLB’s new rules, a player just needs to be in the organization in order to have an opportunity to play in the postseason. They don’t have to be called up to the big leagues prior to Sept. 1."
  22. SoxnCycles
    Yup, all of those would've been worth trying.
  23. SoxnCycles
    The biggest issue I have with Farrell is he seems to have a tough time assigning roles in the pen. The fact that you never what you're going to get on any given night from just about everyone makes the job that much tougher. But, Farrell should be more consistent with role assignment in the pen. I still have no idea who our "8th inning guy" is.
  24. SoxnCycles
    Farrell hasn't impressed me at all with his handling of the pen, considering he was a pitching coach. But, the injuries to Smith and Koji really hamstrung this team. It's gotten to the point where Farrell is going to get the blame, no matter which RP coughes up the game.
  25. SoxnCycles
    Triggs is a righty. I bet he's in there tonight.
