His five or six starts have been against line-ups in the bottom third of MLB in scoring. They way the media talks about him, you’d think he was the second coming of Cy Young.

You know, I love these K's

I mean, I hate seeing an out, but at least you make the pitcher throw a shitload of pitches. If I had to choose a 3-pitch fly out or a 7-pitch K, I’d take the second.

Don’t know why most people think K’s are worse than any other way of not getting on base.

It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

by MerryGoByeBye on Jun 25, 2008 8:02 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

It depends

Ks are important with men on base because the runner can’t advance. You can also strike hitters out on three or four pitches (see: Cora, Alex).

But, I see your point.

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

by Drugs Delaney on Jun 25, 2008 8:07 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

While a K's with a man on first means he won't advance

It also means it won’t be a DP. I mean, I know that with a man on base the best thing to do is to advance him. But I rather see a guy not getting on base by making the pitcher throw a lot than see him pulling a Alex Cora.

That’s one of the many reasons Willy Mo is such an awful player. He never did shit and never saw more than like 1 pitch.

Don't worry

You won’t see him tonight. It looks like Hansen will pitch the 9th.

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

I’ve haven’t been checking stats or really watching games for a bit with finals & stuff last month; what am I missing? Is Oki the new Gagne?

HA!

I had to check Oki’s stats on mlb.com—-not so good
9ER in 9innings… I sure hope he comes around.

I think all of those runs were from 3 outings

But even in games where he hasn’t given up a run, he hasn’t looked sharp at times.

yeah, I recall a discussion about Oki allowing inherited runners to score as well

It’s the GameDay rendition of the outcome that gets me, though.

Lead-off walk

Come on Craig, you have a 5 run lead.

Why?

There are 2 outs already

Yep

Hanson is looking good after the leadoff walk.

Not so sure about Paps coming in, but Hanson really lost it after strike 2 against Jackson.

MDC, Aar and Javi are actually good

Oki is not pitching well, but he had a great season last year. Chris Smith also looked good on his first 2 games. Hanson is ok from time to time.

Bullpen stats for June:

MDC – 10 IP 0.00 ERA 0.50 WHIP
J-Lo – 10.1 IP 0.87 ERA 1.26 WHIP
Smith – 6 IP 1.50 ERA 0.67 WHIP
Aardsma – 9.1 IP 1,93 ERA 1.18 WHIP
Paps – 8.2 IP 2.08 ERA 0.69 WHIP

Those guys have been solid. Hansen has been OK. Timlin and Oki have sucked.

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

by Drugs Delaney on Jun 25, 2008 10:01 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yep

And keep in mind that Chris Smith first guy he faced in the MLB was Glaus (who’s a decent-to-good hitter), with the bases loaded. Our bullpen is looking way, waaay better than it did earlier this season. Especially without Timlin.

The D-Backs are not that strong. I remember when guys started calling ‘em the best team in baseball at the beginning of the season.

Experiment continues...

Sox hat on, went on shortly before the Moss SF. The fact that we got RBIs from Cash and Moss suggests lucky Red Sox hat actually has powers sufficient to alter reality…

JoeChat is very funny

I turned a lung inside out laughing. Particularly this:

Joe Morgan: How about both? (laughing)

Hahaha, I loved him calling that pitcher of the MFY 'Wong'

The stuff at FJM are way funnier when they don’t have to look so much for it.

By my count, since Papi's been out, we've played 24 games

and won 16 of them. Not bad!
