Princess Dye Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) Despite the outs, that procedure is so much more boner inducing than HRs right about now. 1-0 sox 8 yr old baseball fan version of me would be saddened by that view Edited September 17, 2008 by Princess Dye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it comes down to it, those three would have to go on three days' rest again against CLE and then the DET game on Monday. They could use Danks with full rest or Floyd on three day's for the possible final DET game after the regular season ends. CLIFF LEE...five hits, two walks, yet only one run surrendered in 3 IP.

knightni Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 This three days rest stuff is too risky, in my opinion. It's too late in the season to suddenly have them overdoing it. They've already all approached 175+ innings this season. Why risk a breakdown on young arms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The articles I've read said they wanted to line up Vazquez, Buehrle and Floyd for that series, and they would each be on full rest because of the Monday off day.

I didn't think that sounded right. I figured Danks was Sat. One of us is right. I could be wrong, but it's my understanding that it's Buehrle on Friday and Floyd on Saturday both on short rest; then Danks (with 6 days rest) on Sunday. After the day off Monday, Vazquez, Buehrle, and Floyd will pitch in the Minnesota series with regular rest.

It's too late in the season to suddenly have them overdoing it. They've already all approached 175+ innings this season. Why risk a breakdown on young arms? The Twins are doing the same thing today with Baker. He's pitched really well through three innings, no runs given up. The only risk is with Floyd, as Vazquez and Buerhle are veterans and experienced enough to deal with it and they both know their soreness tolerance.

caulfield12 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Gomez goes deep for the Twins. 2-0. Luckily, there was a GIDP right before that, or the game would be even more precarious. Lee's also getting his pitch count way up there, 68 through 4 IP. That doesn't bode well, because the Indians' middle relief is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Whomever plays the sox should just call up guys with 8 and 9 ERAs during the playoffs just to face our team.

Really? I think the magic is gone from that option. I would go with Danks...call me crazy. But he can easily pitch 2-3 innings and get us to Linebrink and Jenks. We don't have any good options in middle relief to accomplish that same task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
