Game Thread 6-10-08
Ellsbury did seem aware the team needed him to play, even with the soreness in the right wrist. And he appeared prepared to do that, though manager Terry Francona said he wanted to see how Ellsbury got through batting practice today. He said he always could insert Brandon Moss into the lineup in Ellsbury's place.
"I'm definitely happy with the turnaround from when I did it to now," Ellsbury said. "It's still sore, but you can play through soreness.
"I was pretty worried, how it felt right as it happened. It was nice to get the X-ray right away, the MRI right away, to see that everything was all right. Once you know there's no structural damage, you can play through the soreness. There's a big difference between hurting and soreness. It's going to be sore for a little while. You're never feeling 100 percent throughout the whole season on any body part, so it'll be fine."

He’s being looking worse than his numbers would tell. He’s not looking anywhere near to being our ace.

Has anyone read anything about what ’s happened to him since ‘07? It’s not like he’s chronically sucking as bad as he did last inning (4 ER on 37 pitches, btw), but he’s not his dominating self. I find myself – in the dark nights of my Fenway-loving soul – whispering “regression to the mean.“

by Drugs Delaney on Jun 10, 2008 7:09 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
A lot of pitching?
Well, I disagree. Sort of… If Colon and Masterson keep giving us good starts until the end of the season, if Wake don’t go down to some kind of injury (which is not very likely, but, then again, he’s old) and if we call Bowden up (I don’t care if it’s a little early, he deserves it), then we’ll have a lot of pitching. Beckett is not looking very good lately, Lester is great and has been great for quite a while, and Dice-K is good-to-great. But we don’t know if Curt can give us anything yet, and Buch has not been good at AAA.
It’s not like we need another starter or reliever, but, come on, it would make us stronger if we somehow got any pitcher cheaply.

Well
Ben Sheets wasn’t the best idea ever. What about Bedard? Bill Bavasi is an idiot, so we could get him cheaply I guess. Or Sabathia at the end of the season. I don’t know, really. The Sox don’t need an average pitcher, but like any other team in the league a very good one would not be bad, and that’s my point.

I'm not saying a new ace
But getting a pitcher with ace stuff. Halladay, Lackey, Zambrano, Harang, and so on (I’m not even saying Webb or Peavy). We won’t be able to get any of those, but if we somehow had the chance, I think we should make a move.
Pitcher with ace material. Not to replace Beckett. And we also don’t need to trade for, but would make our team stronger if we manage to get , like it would make any other team in the league stronger. That’s my point.

But we never know when one might become available. It’s a pipe dream, it would only happen with the combination of 2 things: a team start sucking, and a stupid GM. We don’t need to trade, but if Bavasi start telling everybody he’s shopping King Felix, why not offer him Timlin + Lugo? :)
It’s not doable, but if something like that (not Timlin + Lugo, but other prospects that are not on our top 10 list) happened, hey, why not?

And an instance where inherited runner data isn’t 100% reliable. 1st and 3rd one out? That he only let one score is, in a vacuum, awesome. Two straight Ks would’ve been MORE awesome, I’ll grant.

Did you notice that Kobe got his first assist in the 3rd quarter? I really don’t like that guy.
And if you haven’t already, check out Schilling’s report on Game 2 (NBA stuff starts after a few paragraphs…).

I wish I could say that Kobe is overrated
But that guy can flat out score, and is a good enough defender. But he’s an asshole. A gigantic one. And he’s not being that good on these Finals (even in this last game where he scored way better, his FT% was bad). There’s a reason why Shaq won all the 3 Finals MVP, and not Kobe.
Great entry by Schilling, he’s very much right about all the basketball stuff (didn’t read anything before where he starts talking about the game, I’m sleepy). The best part is the one about Gasol. People talk a lot about him, that he’s a star and one of the best. He’s overrated. He’s a very good player, but he’s far from being a star or anything like that. For all people give to the Lakers, they’re really all about Kobe. They’re the Cavs, or something like that.

Beckett's career ERA+ is 115, and he never had strong back-to-back seasons
You know who has a career ERA+ higher than Beckett’s? Mark Buehrle (120, sorry to be mean). I’m not suggesting anything, but that’s funny because Buehrle is to me one of the most overrated pitchers in the MLB. Beckett in this season, however, still have a strong K/BB rate.
Right now, I’d think of Dice-K as our ace. If he stops walking that many guys, he could be it.
