why cant Joe Crede and Josh Fields morph into one player. Use Joe's defense, and Josh's offense to create "MR. JOESH FIELDE"

 

That was a real nice pitch right there.

If Massett keeps this up for, let's say the first month of the season, do you still trade him because his value is high? It seems intuitive that you keep him around since he may have finally figured it out but what if its an Aardsma type situation where he is lights out for a month and then regresses to his own mean (7 ERA).

masset is throwing a 2 seamer that is moving all over the place....throws 2 to cabrera, then comes back with a cutter at 89 to get....

 

his stuff has been very good today

Just have to hope that the other 7 guys in the lineup can carry Uribe/Crede's slack long enough until both those bums are replaced. Even if it will be a dropoff defensively I really would like to put Alexi at 2B with Anderson in CF.

Okay, what the f*** is going on.

Every time I see Brian Gorman, I can't help but shout, "Are you NUTS?!"

haha i will forever associated him with that as well....

Farmer commented on a late-break by Ramirez on that single. Should he/ could he have gotten to that?

I hope Lewis is out there for the top of the order.

Masset just taking care of biz

 

Masset 4.1 IP 2 H 4 Ks great day for Nick

i assume itll be thronton in the next inning to get sizemore....that was impressive as hell by nick masset...bill simas-esque right there haha

That depends on 2 things; the rest of the pitching staff, and the guys in the minors. If we keep running into situations where the starter gives us 1-2 innings, then Masset is clearly necessary, especially if he is non-terrible out there. If the pitching staff starts to come together after today, if Floyd and Danks put up a couple solid months, then maybe you consider it. You also sort of need Wass or someone like him to step up in AAA to be ready to take that spot. And it'd be nice to have a good offer for him too.

 

In other words...probably not.

 

Well Masset did his job...wanna see it more that today, but this is indeed something to build on.

no chance, he slipped a bit but he had no shot at getting to it

even if we lose today... to Nick Masset. This could have been ugly fast but he has kept us in the game... a nice suprise.. if he can keep this up through out the year we have on hell of a long man.

Funny when you see gamecast with the upcoming line-up, it looks like an all-star game with an A's, Angels and then White Sox player coming up.

no chance, he slipped a bit but he had no shot at getting to it

he broke back. he looks lost.

Masset 4.1 IP 2 H 4 Ks great day for Cy

 

There you go. Took care of that for ya.

Definitely an impressive outing by Masset. Sounds like he wasn't just trying to overpower the hitters.

So, today seems like the right day to pitch Mike MacDougal.

hats off to Masset, he gave them a chance.

Lets hope Nick Swish brings out the awesome here........

Sox SERIOUSLY need to cut their losses with Uribe. The frustrating thing is that there are options available, that will make this team better. Put A-Ram at 2nd, Anderson in CF. If Ozzie still has it out for Anderson, put Swish in CF, Carlos in LF, and Aram at 2nd. Uribe needs to go.

 

I know many of us have questioned it in the past, but I hope Ozzie can put his personal feelings aside and do what's best for the team. With a bad season putting him on the hot seat, I am optimistic Ozzie will.
