Cali Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 12:19 PM) The man's era across 210 innings pitched is 2.28. This post of yours here defies logic. Verlander is aces almost every time out. Exactly. I'm saying there's a chance he might lose ONE GAME. He's lost 5 on the year total. It's not out of the realm of possibility to lose A GAME to a playoff tested (for the most part) Yankee or Red Sox team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 01:41 PM) I guarantee you neither the Yankees or Red Sox want to see Detroit in the ALDS. Possibility of seeing Verlander twice in cold weather? That's no good. Heard on B&B earlier this week, the winner of the AL East is likely going to have to play the Tiger, so they might actually prefer the WC and avoiding Verlander twice in a 5-game series.

Nobody ever said it was impossible for Verlander to lose a game. Of course he's beatable. Not likely. But yes, it can happen. It's not like SS2K5 going 24 consecutive hours without posting. Now that's impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the course of his tenure here SS2k5 has averaged 28 posts per day. (holy s***) If we assume 8 hours slept per day, he loses 33% of the day of posting due to sleep. This leaves 16 hours for 28 posts. SS2k5, on average, has not gone 34 waking minutes without a post over an 8 year period!

Real Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 12:16 PM) The funny thing is, even though I seem to be the only one in here who is OK with the acquisition (if it even happens), the biggest reason I would hesitate isn't even being discussed. The problem is Adam Dunn. I have almost no doubt that Thome is going to do better than Dunn the rest of this season. But we have Dunn signed for 3 more years, and will need the guy to perform. If we take the bat out of his hands the rest of the year, that will not help the Sox' future, and may indeed hurt it. If I were to hesitate on the move, that is the biggest reason. I've heard Rongey speak on this, saying (basically) that Dunn's problems are so deep down mechanical, that he doesn't believe Dunn will be able to "Fix" this until the offseason/spring training 2012. I'm guessing Rongey has talked to Walker about this and that's where he's basing his opinion. If this is indeed the case, then NO, it won't stunt Dunn's progression to getting better.
