RZZZA Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Septimo? Sounds like an extra from the movie Gladiator. nickname possibilities are high, don't disappoint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 With our long man now in the rotation, dont we need someone for potential multiple innings? Who maintains that role now? Why am I referring to Chicago's American League Major League Baseball Franchise club as "we"? I certainly don't play for them. Also, why was the sentence mostly capitol case? Maybe I should try camelCase instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Bruney is our long man at this point, and Hector is not far behind. Septimo will probably be asked to get multiple innings in an emergency as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox beat writers are horrible. I think Tdog has a guy...or is the guy. The way they've used Septimo this year has been unusual. One inning, 3 or 4 days off, one inning, 2 or 3 days off.

Is Septimo 27 years old? What is the back story? Has he been in the minors forever? Sox picked him up mid-last season, to little fanfare. But what is interesting is, look at his walk numbers. They dropped about 30% last year after coming over, went down further still this year, and down more than his current year in his last 10 games. They obviously worked with him on something, and it seems to be working. He always struck out a ton of guys, but now his walks have gone from atrocious to only mildly scary.

What is the back story? Has he been in the minors forever? He has had control issues in the past that kept him from breaking out. This year his BB/9 has dropped to 4.7 from a career average of 7.3, and his H/9 has dropped to 4.2 from a career average of 7.0, while his K/9 has stayed at 11.6, which is over his average of 10.6.

I am sure we will see for ourselves this weekend just what kind of LH relief help he is. I know some might be uncomfortable with the bullpen youth, but I kind of like the fact we are able to bring up our own talent and not have to trade it away for help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominates lefties, walks a ton of righties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitch to rightys but offer them nothing all that good. Make them get themselves out, or take the walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy the Clown Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 No offense to anyone, but I don't think he'll be up long. Do you see Robin tolerating wildness from any of his bullpen members for an extended period of time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly Septimo and Bruney are the first 2 guys on the list to go down if Danks and Humber can come back. But they certainly have th e right to earn the chance to stay.
