I don't think the years he had in CLE will be forgotten, even if their dog f***ing fans choose to boo him now.

Of course they won't be forgotten but the moment he retires from the game there will be no fanbase that truly appreciates him. I'm sure the Indians fans will embrace him when he comes back to have his number retired but the way they've treated him since he accepted Philly's lucrative free agent contract can't sit well with Jim.

I hear ya. I hope the Sox have an appreciation day for him when he calls it quits.

Lets convert Carrasco to a starter. I know it sounds crazy and hasty, but of our long relievers why just automatically default to Richard? He hasnt had the success as a major leaguer that Carrasco has over this season and last.

 

Obviously Richard has upside but it'd be nice to see it for a longer stretch as a reliever first.

 

 

 

 

Interestingly each has pitched 60 innings over the last two years, and although many more of those for Richard are starter innings, the results have a huge disparity. If we're trying to win now I dont know what Clayton gives us.

Good call.

 

Lillibridge looks like Fred Savage.

 

 

Lillibridge looks like Scott Fletcher (circa 1990)

Of the 110 starting pitchers in major league baseball with 30+ IP this season Gavin Floyd has the highest ERA, the second highest WHIP and has allowed the 2nd most hits but apparently he's a better pitcher than John Danks.

Gavin just knows how to win. Maybe Danks should ask for some help.

Lillibridge takes hilarious cuts. Leave him in the minors til he gets it thru his head that he's not Belle.

Would anyone be upset if they heard after the game the Sox just released Lillibridge? Seriously, this guy is making Andy Gonzalez look like a major leaguer.

Please... you and I couldn't make Andy Gonzalez look like a major leaguer.

Dude, you know as well as I do who's on the mound tomorrow.

Well, tomorrow's a Buehrle start, Thursday's an offday and today feels like a pretty damn important game. Richard also gave him little choice.

atta boy, matt, that's what we're looking for

MBINAA

Timely Hawk Bert Campaneris reference.

WOW - I'd forgotten what that looks like

Corkaroooo!!

I don't really think the tag was ever applied to Sizemore, but I'll take it.

Please... you and I couldn't make Andy Gonzalez look like a major leaguer.

Gonzalez .188 avg. .549 ops

Lillibridge .187 avg. .532 ops

 

They are basically the same when they step into the box.

"newcomer Brent Lillibridge, whom general manager Ken Williams said has the ability to steal 40 bases in a season"

 

lol

we actually threw someone off woo hooo

Getz = wheels.

bwahahah

 

That is something I'd really expect us to do.

He does if he's used as a pinch runner. Having him in the line-up, he'll never get on base enough.

I LOVE GETZY!

If he can find his way to an NL bench playing for an aggressive micro-manager who values stolen bases then that 40 number is well within reach.
