    Price sucks.
  2. SoxnCycles
    You said it yourself. He made some good moves and some really lousy ones. He got canned for the really lousy ones. Do you think he screwed up the team for years to come or do they still have a good foundation of young players to build on? I'm really not interested in quibbling over specific wording of one post.
  3. SoxnCycles
    Yup, if it was accompanied with some actual analysis, the game threads might not be so damned boring. Easily half the posts are " (fill in the blank) sucks". Riveting stuff....
  4. SoxnCycles
    Who's giving him a pass? The guy got fired!
  5. SoxnCycles
    Yup, daily "this team sucks" posts display true courage.
  6. SoxnCycles
    Here's another: most of your posts are irrelevant crap.
  7. SoxnCycles
    Pitch/Fx does not use radar guns. Not surprised you didn't know this. Still driving a Desoto?
  8. SoxnCycles
    He hit 170 this year, between AAA and Boston. 200+ shouldn't be an issue next year. The issue may be who has options and who doesn't.
  9. SoxnCycles
    It's simple, the next time someone like Kimmi slaps him around with advanced stats, he needs the "fake velocity" argument to justify ignoring it.

    So, roughly a win per month. Pretty bad. But still not enough to sway a team's record that much. Someone should've told Kelly he had no business winning 4 of his 6straight games in August, because, you know, Hanley was playing.
  11. SoxnCycles
    Yes, I've noticed. How many runs saved and/or wins is it actually good for?
  12. SoxnCycles
    It's debatable how "sizable" that effect is. I don't see it making as big an impact on Porcello as some rest was.
  13. SoxnCycles
    Yup, it had nothing to do with the improved pitching. They got better when Pedrioa was out too!
  14. SoxnCycles
    You do realize how dopey it sounds, when you compare a regular job to that of a MLB player, don't you? Are you under the impression that they all just lie around in the off season?
  15. SoxnCycles
    That's pretty much it, right there. The guy's an idiot and has no filter, but he was a one hell of a closer for us. Not that I want him back.
  16. SoxnCycles
    Haven't you heard heard? For some screwed up reason, the one game playoff game doesn't count as the playoffs. Even though it's a playoff game.
  17. SoxnCycles
    Yup, baseball has lost a good one. He was a Yankee, but nobody is perfect.
  18. SoxnCycles
    It's called projection. They know THEY'D never land another job, if they took a year off, therefore anyone that does it is obviously stupid.
  19. SoxnCycles
    Good read John. Thanks.
  20. SoxnCycles
    Cue the "but they haven't developed a decent pitcher since Lester" replies...
  21. SoxnCycles
    I think fans tend to go over board with the hyperbole because they know he's capable of pitching better than he has in certain seasons. It's frustrating, but the fact remains that 13 mil is a good deal for the Sox, even if he can't pitch an entire season.
  22. SoxnCycles
    Looks like Porcello has finally figured out that he needs to get back to relying on his sinker. From WEEI: "His sinker was working well, which has been a main reason for his success over the last two starts. 'I’m basically forcing myself to throw it. That was kind of the commitment after I came off the DL — I’m going to throw my sinker and find it,” Porcello said. “If I get beat with that pitch, then so what? In order for me to have some success over here in the long run, I’ve got to find that pitch. I just took the pressure off and said, ‘Screw it, I’m throwing it.'”

    http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.cgi?id=buchhcl01&t=p&year= I see two bad games there. One of them really bad. Can you point out the string of "garbage" starts from this year, because I don't see it. Pretty tough to pitch like garbage and have a 3.26 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP. I'm going to love it when Dombrowski picks up his option, just to see all the hand-wringing and teeth-gnashing. LOL
  24. SoxnCycles
    If Buchholz is healthy, and he will be by the start of next year, they pick up his option and he's in the rotation ahead of E-rod, Owens and anyone else already on the team.
  25. SoxnCycles
    Yup, O'Brien will do good job, no doubt. But, if it had to be done at all which I don't believe, it could have waited until Oct or Nov. It's a shame that such a popular guy has to lose his job because one guy gets a hair across his ass.
