Blech. MLB.TV better be working for once, or I will RIOT.
Daisuke doesn’t suck through the first 3 innings. And some rare love to Tito from me for this:
"[Daisuke’s pitch limit is] about 75-ish, hopefully not all in the first inning,’’ Francona said.

the most honest and funny thing he's ever said
good to hear him not being super delicate with his players egos like he usually is.

thats upsetting
He gives up hrs in the minors whats he going to do at the major league level
by obrient15 on Sep 4, 2009 7:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
it's the minors
I’d rather see him being aggressive. If he only gives up four hits and one walk in four+ innings, I don’t care if two are homers.

Mediocre
Not horrible. He’s not throwing all out in a rehab start.
The key thing is that he’s not wild, and he’s not imploding.
by Ben Buchanan on Sep 4, 2009 7:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Giving up 2 runs isn't horrible.
Would you not take a pitcher that leads the league in HR but also in ERA? What I’m saying is that the final result is what matters.

Manny who?
by Pesky Fan on Sep 4, 2009 8:12 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I agree with USG
it’s not a big deal-but to answer your question in general-no. You can’t lead the league in HR and ERA in general, because of the other things less under your control-like hits- will do you in if they happen before the HRs (which again you can’t really control). Pitchers that are near league lead in HRs allowed year in and year out are usually bad pitchers. Imagine Dice last year with the same overall performance and 28 HRs allowed?
by Buzzy on Sep 4, 2009 8:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I understand that you don't want to have high HR #s.
I just want whatever it takes to win. If that’s 3 solo shots, so be it.
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams

No
because winning plus high HR totals is not a controlled proposition.
by Buzzy on Sep 4, 2009 8:21 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I understand.
If on any given start a pitcher gives up multiple HR, but the team wins I’m not going to get worried.

Once, I was at a game that had a scheduled start of 7, but that included a pregame number retirement, so it started around 7:20 or so.

Vmart has made me feel better about Tek as a catcher.
Think about it this way, it ould be worse, Vmart would have thrown it over his head, and a run would have scored, and the other runner would be on 3rd.

I tink PPL here at OTM should have low expectations when it comes to Byrd
He’s doin’ a FINE job as a 5th starter: All we need to ask him is that he gives us 5-6 innings in the 4 ERA range!

Sad to say
5-6 innings in the 4 ERA range is good for #3 or #4 on most teams, including ours. I remember one year Kenny Rogers was the “Ace” of the Rangers because his ERA was near 4.0.
With Byrd, you’re probably looking at 5+ ERA with a scary high FIP.
