Because we know Buchholz is incapable of pitching better. Price is capable, but is not getting it done, for whatever reason. And it's no more specious of a solution than saying the rotation needs to fixed and Price will be better... someday.
-
Nope, even if the Sox can't fix what ails this team , the Sox should just stand pat until the off season. Teams that need to rebuild are sellers, not teams that just need some help.
-
No, it doesn't fix the rotation. What it does do is give DD some time to make a deal, before the team completely falls out of contention. and I'll tweet Price about his pitching as soon as you tweet DD about "fixing the rotation". They'll be equally effective...
-
Price needs to start earning his million per game now, not sometime in the future.
-
Great, so when Buchh is back in the bullpen and the #4 pitcher can hold his own, Price is finally winning games in August, but the Sox are 12 games out, everything will be just peachy.
-
Exactly!
-
Which is my point, it DOES matter what Price does right now. You got on other posters for not showing patience with Price. There isn't time for any patience. He has to improve, begining with his next start, not a start at the end of July.
-
So, if this team is 10-12 games out, when they pick up a servicable pitcher, everything is good to go? Not likely.
-
Then the "Trade __, Fire__ DFA__" posts are the way to go.
-
It wasn't fixed. That ship has sailed. If we agree that DD is trying to get some pitching and it's going to take some time to get it done, then it falls on the coaching staff and the players to get their acts together and play up to their abilities. That includes the offense, they've been an issue this month. That includes David Price, he's been an issue for a good portion of his starts.
-
Yu'll just have to get over it, wont you.
-
Yup, and that "for so long" is about 3 weeks. If the back end of the rotation isn't fixed by then, the Sox are toast, even if Price goes on a 10 win streak after the deadline.
-
I asked MVP this question and got nothing. Is DD actively trying to fix the back end of the rotation, or is he just incompetent?
-
Right now, I have no confidence in either of them. I have no confidence in the offense to bail out the pitching staff either. They went from a .305 Ba in May to .271 in June. But, that's not a problem! This team has a slew of problems in addition to not having a viable #4 or #5 pitcher. But, some folks are happy with tunnel vision. It's all Buchholz' fault!
-
If Price keeps pitching like crap, there will be no wild card game. Or, don't you see that?
-
The Yankees have to get past 5 teams to get a wild card spot, not just the Sox. Good luck.
-
I see it as a time contraint issue. We all know Buchholz can't be in the rotation for the forseeable future. But, with no viable replacement in-house, he becomes an problem with no immediate fix. If Price were providing some ace-like performances, the Sox may have some time to get a deal done to fix the back of the roation. With Price being merely average, it puts a real crimp in the amount of time available to get a deal done. Without some shut down perfomances you'd expect from an ace, it may to be too late to fix the rest of the rotation.
-
Yeah, the Texas game has nothing to do with feeling he's not pitching well enough to help this team out of a hole. Or the Baltimore game, or the Yankees game, or the previous Tampa Bay game...
-
Gee, ya think?
-
LOL Exactly!

I'm going to the Rays game, next Friday night. My friends were bitching about this being a boring game a couple of weeks ago. So much for that! Enjoy the games. Hopefully, the Sox are still playing for something by August.
-
Agree. Sure, MRIs are pricey, but it's seems insignificant, compared to player contracts.
-
Sorry, but until I see a replacement that's actually better than he is, I'm not joining the torch and pitchfork club. Sue me.

Nah, the Tribe is blowing the doors off everyone in spite of Tito.
