Hudson continues to work the count very well, he just can't do anything with it. That pitch was meat, and I'm not sure how he missed it.
old man syndrome kicking in

You can't get mad at Humber allowing 2 runs if you believe the Sox won't score at least 2 today.
He wont be the only guy Im mad at for sure then
QUOTE (Jake @ May 29, 2012 -> 07:21 PM)
This is because his success is so dependent on one pitch and that pitch is one he can't be very consistent with. This is why he's been adding that slider in, searching for consistency
Yeah his slider has been off for a while now. I hope he finds it because that would be a huge help to this rotation.

So do we automatically lose?
If Shields kept pitching the way he was earlier sure. The way this game looks I thought 2 runs would win it. Just like last game.
QUOTE (fathom @ May 29, 2012 -> 07:19 PM)
Or is the question: did he just have great stuff on the magical day and that was an anomaly?
I think he can have that stuff all the time to be honest. He had that stuff for a while last year. It just seems to fall off.
QUOTE (fathom @ May 29, 2012 -> 07:17 PM)
Still plenty of time to make this decision. It wouldn't shock me in the the least if by the deadline, Gavin is someone who the Sox can count on and Peavy is considered a liability.
Absolutely and thats all Im saying. There are many factors that have to be right for them to make that decision. But with Gavin it always seems like an illusion. He'll look dominate for a while. Then the next few games he cant get out of an inning.
QUOTE (Jake @ May 29, 2012 -> 07:17 PM)
Is Phil off today?
Yeah he was been off since the perfect game. He clearly doesnt have as good of stuff as he can have.
I mean if the Front Office is serious about contending. If were in first place at the trade deadline. Then you need a starting pitcher. Gavin Floyd and Phil Humber are either on or off(lucky we didnt lose the game in Cleveland when Floyd was pitching). If they are off you automatically lose.

Can't. KW's already said that attendance is going to keep this team as is.
Never listen to Kenny unless the has trade deadline passed.
QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 28, 2012 -> 04:46 PM)
Took me a while but I am now convinced this team is a contender.
Pitching is the main issue....which Floyd,Danks and Humber are we going to get?
