Most of the stuff I hear during a SOX broadcast goes in one ear and out the other, but when I hear that no SOX starter has a win in the month of July, my response is "Holy Shite!"
EO charged with 3 earned runs. I'd like to run this thru this thread. If a pitcher's own error allows a runner to reach base and that runner scores, should that be considered an earned run? I know it's not, but I've always questioned that.
That's a tough one. He is one of the very few that would get a decent return, but OTOH, he is inexpensive and the SOX need to keep some players of quality.
The main reason JD is suffering this season is because a recently published book titled THE ART OF PITCHING TO ROBOTS has been read by most MLB pitchers.
