IIrC it was less than he'd have gotten that year without the contract.

 

 

All of the years were less individually than he would have gotten on the open market. The $6 million year was a million or two less than he would have probably gotten in his second to last year. But when you sign a long term deal early on, the player usually sacrifices a bit to get the stability and length instead of questions marks and potentially more money, but less security.

Ventura is not afraid to let these starters go a long time out there on the mound.

 

The recent industry trend is to try to stretch starters out towards 120 pitches per outing. Not necessarily trying to average that much, but definitely try to get them used to being in excess of 100-105

In that video on Crain that balta posted, Ventura stated he wanted to try and keep the pitchers around 100.

Jeff Soptic has an ERA of 6, WHIP of 2, almost a walk an inning, and 7 wild pitches at high-A.

 

Conor still sucks worse than Adam Dunn against lefties.

We are even worse than the Cubs are and they are trying to be terrible...

 

If you think about it, the Sox are the worst team in baseball that tried to compete this year. The Marlins and Astros gave up long before the season started.

Just to follow up on this, this isn't a defense mechanism justifying the trade. If anything, it's showing that it's been a good trade, just that Gillaspie should never under any circumstance play against a lefty.

 

 

Ventura saying postgame that the team will be better when it's August because the trade stuff will be over. The distraction will be over.

 

Way to get your team focused on the game, Robin.

 

Theyre grownass men. They understand what's going on. What is he going to do to fire them up in the short term? This is a big picture statement, and he's not wrong.

Please find a sucker to take John Danks he is getting hammered.

 

A lefty coming off shoulder surgery goes up against one of the best offenses in the game and gives up 3 homers to good hitters.

 

This is the EXACT response I'd expect from you.
