fathom Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 QUOTE (Jake @ May 30, 2012 -> 12:17 AM) Is Phil off today? 90 mph fastball and rolling sliders have resulted in some really good swings by Tampa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 QUOTE (Baron @ May 30, 2012 -> 12:18 AM) Yeah he was been off since the perfect game. He clearly doesnt have as good of stuff as he can have. Or is the question: did he just have great stuff on the magical day and that was an anomaly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the next few games he cant get out of an inning. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 It's not so much a stuff issue with Humber, he simply has been lacking command. Walks and mistake pitches over the middle. I can't say that he's looked terrible today. I think there are equal chances of implosion and strong finish at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 QUOTE (Jake @ May 29, 2012 -> 07:20 PM) 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
