beckham needs to bunt

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 09:10 PM) Konerko in a massive funk again, 1 for his last 20 and making really weak contact. He might have hurt his hand again a few days ago. paulie being in a funk and then having to face greinke=no chance. he was 6-42 coming into the game

are they going with humber/6 man rotation with days off too? (day off next week)

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 08:58 PM) Sarah is leaving ? what! yea someone mentioned that the other day on this board, where she going?

well greinke settled down

ok, gotta get to greinke now

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 08:38 PM) I'll try anyone but Beckham. The kid is a bust offensively. Needs to have a change of scenery. at this point, im not too sure that even a change of scenery will help

oh beckham

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) Gotta work the counts on Greinke. 2 outs on 4 pitches is absolutely terrible. yup especially becuase the bullpen isnt that good and its tired

Well its going to suck being in such a close race with det, having to throw humber out there every 6th day. Terrible

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 03:31 PM) Just flipped on the Marlins/Nats game and wow is the Marlins line up awful outside of Reyes right now. Ozzie just looks miserable whenever they've shown him... i thought the same when they showed it on mlb network, reyes third(no power) and lee fourth(old and no power either), terrible

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 07:50 PM) Looks like the Angels will have to use their bullpen tonight. Hopefully after a series with Texas, they'll come in a little flat and/or want to enjoy a weekend in Chicago. 4ip,7er so far for dempster : welcome to the al

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 06:03 PM) Well, we can't say he's not worth $18 million, because he might be our #1 starter (along with Liriano) for the remainder of the season. 21/22 Quality starts/Total Starts....you can't argue with that. He's slipped a bit from the first 2-3 months, but that's simply because of the weather changing and the ball carrying more...long fly outs are now homers. u posted this in the game thread yesterday. where are u getting that number from? hes had 3 starts where hes givin up 5+ runs

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 11:05 AM) What prospects? I think Seattle is way more interested in hitters than pitching. i think people are overvaluing Q (right now). hes still a question mark and the mariners would ask for sale, viciedo,reed+ of course the sox dont make that trade but thats what it would take imo

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 10:51 AM) Makes me wonder if KW will use one of those lefties in a trade to acquire a right handed ACE. If Quintana can finish the year strong, there will be a lot of teams salivating for his services this winter. It appears to be me that Seattle is going into a solid rebuilding mode, King Felix has 2 years left on his contract after this year..... (I love Quintana and think he has a BRIGHT future, but for the King- i'd gladly say goodbye!) My ideal offseason: Let Floyd walk, Let Peavy walk. Re-sign Liriano to a 2 year deal w/ a 3rd year option. Trade Quintana, Reed and prospects for King Felix. Rotation: Sale King Felix Danks Liriano Humber/ Axelrod/ Castro to battle it out in ST 2013 I wouldn't mind keeping Jake after what he has done for the team this year, but the guy is still an injury risk. Now if he would give the Sox a discount for maybe 9-10 mill/ season for 2-3 years, i'd say go for it. If thats the case than i would not mind seeing both Liriano and Floyd go. I'd still make that King Felix deal though could they exercise floyds option and then trade him? if so, that would make more sense. he still has value since he pitches 200+ innings every year, im sure they could probably get something for him

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 09:51 AM) We also can't be 100% sure about Quintana sticking long-term, because we would have said the same about Humber being a cost-controlled part of the rotation for the next 3-4 years and now, not so much. Whether he's a one-year wonder or not, we'll find out soon enough...plus he's going to be in that Verducci effect territory as well. 1. Sale 2. Liriano 3. Peavy 4. Floyd/Danks 5. Quintana 6. Humber The way I look at it, if you ranked them in order by "ace" potential, then it would go something like this. The key is we already know the limitations of Floyd working with Cooper, but the Liriano/Coop partnership is an unknown. If any of you would feel more comfortable, for instance, with Floyd or Quintana, going Friday night against Greinke instead of Liriano...well, everyone has their opinions. But if Liriano can master that change, he has the 92-96 MPH fastball (might actually throw a tick or two harder than Sale as a starter) and the slider, which doesn't have to be (and can't ever be again) the 2006 slider that ripped his elbow apart because of the torque of 89-91 MPH on that pitch tearing ligaments from bone. The Twins called him "The Franchise" for a reason, that was his nickname. Plus, the synergy of having Liriano, Sale, Quintana, Danks...working together and teaching/coaching each other, it's reminiscent of when Buehrle was around to tutor Danks...and makes us miss Mark being around to help Quintana and Sale and even Francisco. Of course, if Mark was around, that would mean Danks wouldn't be. i agree with you.we have to see how peavy, liriano and quintana perform the rest of the way. same with youk. im not ready to just hand him 2,3 years at about 10per either

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 08:48 AM) Tough one. I think when Floyd was extended, there was a look at his potential. To me, Floyd seems to buckle under pressure where Liriano is more consistent in just throwing too many damn balls. Both have shown flashes of being much better pitchers than their numbers show. Liriano, however, seems like the guy with more potential. I certainly wouldn't mind having them both, provided Coop can work on Liriano's control and Floyd can become a more confident guy. However, you'd be looking at $18MM or so of guys who have question marks. obviously we have to see how liriano pitches the rest of the way but if he does well, i rather have liriano. i dont really like our chances with floyd against a big time starter like weaver,verlander,etc but liriano can shut down any lineup and id take my chances with him. but it is a tough decision with the 4 lefties though

we need peavy, so its obviously all on the amount of money and years he commands. i know he wants to be here but i think theres going to be a team like dodgers thats are going to make an offer he cant refuse, hopefully not.

i was watching mlb network and they showed how reyes hit a ball down the line that they called foul but it should have been fair and reyes didnt like the call. the host says how ozzie doesnt even come out to argue and they show him , there he is just sitting looking like he doesnt care at all. didnt take long lol

I wasnt going to read all the pages, just read the first few, but sqwerts posts are funny looking back at them now lol

with some of these contracts these pitchers are getting, peavy is getting way more than 10mil a year and 2 years
