    Not what I asked, are you sitting Hill or Hanley?
  2. illinoisredsox
    Hill is 11-22 (now 12-24) career against Lincecum. Think that might be the reason he's at 3rd tonight? Hanley came in 9-27 againt Lincecum (now 9-30). Which one are you going to sit? You know, sometimes managers make decisions with stats that the average fan doesn't have.

    Didn't I see this movie last night?
  4. illinoisredsox
    Well, that should be the ballgame.

    They've wasted a bunch of good starts by him over the past 2 months. As I posted earlier, this is the 8th time in 11 starts since June 1 that they've scored 2 or fewer runs for him. In those 8 games, he's allowed 3, 2, 3, 1, 4, 3, 3, and 0.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Can't comment on that; my vipbox feed crapped out in the 8th, so I was forced to rely on Gamecast.
  7. illinoisredsox
    He was 18 of 20 for Arizona this year and 30 out of 32 (or something like that) last year. He can close. But he does require the defense to do it's job.
  8. illinoisredsox
    Unbef***inglievable.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Unless the Sox do something in the 9th, this will be the 8th time in 11 starts since the start of June that the Red Sox will have scored 2 or less runs in a game Price has pitched in.
  10. illinoisredsox
    Hell of a time for vipbox to lose the feed.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Big inning for Price here. He repeats last inning with Calhoun, Trout and Pujols and he will be behind
  12. illinoisredsox
    This has all the earmarks of the 2-1 game Price lost at San Francisco.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Bogaerts needs to be running here. I know Papi doesn't like it, but they need to make something happen.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Price starting to fall into a pattern of everything away. Got to work both sides.
  15. illinoisredsox
    This is starting to get ridiculous. JBJ's ball woulf have been a triple play had there been no one out.
  16. illinoisredsox
    True but more hitters need to do stuff like that to make overshifts go away.
  17. illinoisredsox
    What's the record for DPs in a game? I think that's 5 total so far.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Back to no run support for Price. Man is it feast or famine for him.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Sounds like half the time he's good and half the time he's horrid. The good one has shown up so far.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Cause that's the way things are going right now.

    In Boston? Where the fans are seemingly ready to critique everything a player does, right down to how he wipes himself after a bowel movement? Okay, I kid, a little My guess how he would have done. Okay. Not as well as he has in SF. Better than he did in KC. Probably not well enough to ward off the critics. I don't think it coincidence that players struggle a bit when they first come to Boston. As has been brought up, Schilling is about the only recent guy who has come in and done the job right away. And at that point, he was a very grizzled vet who had been a main cog in a World Series winner in Arizona and played in Philadelphia for many years (where the fans once booed Santa Claus). Victorino was another guy who came in and excelled right away. He was also another long time vet who had also played in Philly. You want a player to come into Boston and succeed right away? Look for a guy who has played and excelled in a tough media/fan town.

    That would be the same Cueto who in a half a year in KC went 4-7 with an ERA of 4.76 for a World Series winning team? The same Cueto who was somewhere between mediocre and terrible in the ALDS and ALCS before pitching a gem against an NL team in the World Series? I didn't follow it all that closely, but did Cueto even talk to AL teams? The only other serious offer I saw was from the Diamondbacks.
  23. illinoisredsox
    It would help him a lot if he had some people in the pen he could rely on consistently. Right now, the whole pen is like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates, he never knows what he is going to get.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Agree. The fact that the pitch was down the middle is the bothersome thing. Had Cabrera golfed one off his shoetops or tomahawked a ball at his eye level, it would be less objectionable. Cabrera should have been walked, but even if Farrell didn't order it, Ziegler's been around awhile and should know the numbers, he should have pitched extremely carefully to MC on his own; Leon should have known the numbers and said something (it's the major part of a catcher's job IMO). Colossal failure on the part of all 3 of them.
  25. illinoisredsox
    The other things is he's pretty much always been a pitcher as opposed to a thrower. That also should help the transition. Eck mentioned all of what has been discussed in the past few posts when he was filling in several weeks ago.
