BearSox Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2009 -> 01:07 PM) When you're mad about how bad this team is, just keep this in mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liS3kGvQ9Bk That's no good unless we are the worst team in baseball in the 2010 season. He's only a sophomore right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Getz has no power...and Hawk is still upset. Getz reminds me of Ryan Sweeney, as he'd be so much better if he was on steroids or used an aluminum bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend of Nordhagen Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2009 -> 01:05 PM) And that's the Gavin we've learned to hate. Grooves the first pitch fastball to a lefty. Just checked in to see the score and what's happening. Saw that the Jays had gone up 4-2, and my first thought was: "I'm sure that Floyd gave up a bomb to some lefty hitter." Sad to say, he's just entirely too predictable right now. He's flat-out awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2009 -> 01:17 PM) You sure? I thought he's a junior. This article, written in March of 09, lists him as a Sophomore: http://www.boston.com/sports/schools/baseb...10/teen_bopper/ And his perfect game page lists him as a 2011 prospect: http://www.perfectgame.org/players/playerp...e.aspx?ID=56125 And I might be a cynic, but I think the kid has been put on HGH. In pictures of him from last year, he already looked older than I do now, and I'm graduating from high school in a week. Also, hitting 500+ foot homers when he's just 15? Either this kid is Roy Hobbs in real life or had some extra help (wouldn't surprise me if it was forced on him by his Dad). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) I really thought Bryce Harper was a 2010 prospect, but now I'm not sure. The Sox have had great relays and overall defense by our outfielders this series. Edited May 17, 2009 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Guess we won't be giving extension to pitchers after 1 good year. Last year was such a fluke for Gavin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Is anyone totally surprised by Gavin Floyd's suckiness this year though? I'm surprised he's been this bad, but odds were last year was mainly a career year in which he faced the AL for the first time. Second time around the league, and now Floyd is getting rocked.

This game has been extremely disturbing, as it's not Floyd's control that is doing him in (with regards to walks). The league seems to have figured him out (as they did towards the end of last year).

fathom Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 QUOTE (chw42 @ May 17, 2009 -> 07:32 PM) Why is Gavin Floyd so bad? Absolutely no command of his fastball. He struggles to throw it for a strike, and when he does, he is wild in the zone. Not only that, but his inability to throw a curve ball prior to have 2 strikes has really hurt him.

BearSox Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 QUOTE (chw42 @ May 17, 2009 -> 01:32 PM) Why is Gavin Floyd so bad? My theory is that he just quite frankly isn't that good. He's never had great command, it's much of a "pitcher", and he only has 1 plus pitch, his curve. Granted it's a really good pitch, you can't rely on it all the time. He did good last year because that was his first time throughout the AL, but hitters have now adjusted and figured him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
