Guest JimH Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 From what I remember, Widger had a better CERA last year than AJ. And please, enough with the personal s***. You do it way too much. Maybe quit baiting him then? You do that way too much too. These game threads are out of control, this guy jphat likes to look at the positive side and he challenges all these negative posts and he gets his s*** handed to him all the time. I don't blame him for getting pissed frankly. Sorry I shouldn't have stuck my nose in, but I have been reading these game threads and ... ahhh forget it.

fathom Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 QUOTE(Jake @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:01 AM) Didn't say it was a trend. As a fan I just don't like seeing a big game come up against a rookie with our ace on the mound and not take advantage of several opportunities against an inexperienced opponent. I can't believe that after the last 180 games or so, anyone would still consider our ace the guy pitching tonight, and not on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoMB345 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 10:01 PM) We're gonna need at least 3 in the 9th against Papelbon. That's a mighty tall order. Yeah, he's given up, what, 2 all year? WE CAN DO IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoota Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 (edited) QUOTE(soxunited @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 09:59 PM) One thing I have noticed with how Ozzie has handled his SP's this season is that he expects them to go very far into the ballgame. He seems determined to get them the win, even if they are faltering at the mound. I don't know if that has anything to do with how they are performing, but it seems like he has overworked his starters in quite a few games when a move to the bullpen would have been a better choice. 100% ACCURATE. I can't believe a Boston fan has seen enough Sox games to notice this. And Ozzie does this despite having a solid long-man in the bullpen, Brandon McCarthy who started last season and is a good pitcher.

Frankensteiner Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Widger's game calling is not the problem. Our starting pitching just hasn't been that good. Mark's meatballs won't fool good hitting teams like the Indians or Red Sox. That his CERA is higher than AJ's is due to a smaller sample size. He probably hasn't caught Contreras as much as the rest of the other staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I think we got a 10% chance of winning. It goes up to 99.99% if somehow, Cliff Politte gets traded and magically comes into the 9th for Papelbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 We are losing and playing bad, but guys we are all Sox fans and "message board friends." Just everyone stop the snooty comments and we can all just come down. It's one game and our emotions should not get out of hand because of one poorly played game.

Personally I love it when the board blows up like this. When we're losing it's far more entertaining to check out the game thread than it is to watch the game.
