His ERA is 4.23...no GM in baseball releases their #5 starter with this ERA.

 

Yeah, but it really should be a lot higher. He's too old and has absolutely nothing left in the tank. 4 homers... really?

Why would you want Colon around?

How can you argue Beckham has not been rushed up?

How can you argue our veteran bats are inconsitent?

None of our veterans are capable of carrying this team for a period of time.

 

PK, Dye, and AJP have been pretty consistent all season. Read my post above this about Colon. And Beckham just had his best swing on the Sox. If that ball is 5 inches shallower, he has a 2 run RBI and everyone's happy.

This is quote of the year. Who said it?

Those last two pitches on Pods were strikes?

Well s***, Podsednik is actually doing pretty well now. .350 OBP, .300+ avg.. keep getting walks, Scotty.

Admit it Williams, you drafted Beckham because you f***ing read Soxtalk and stole the idea from us, dips***

 

To be fair I don't think the drafting of Beckham was met with too many rave reviews here. We were still in that stage of clamoring for a toolsy HS player. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Colon's ERA is still decent and he's cheap. If you want him gone, you mine as well get something for him.

 

He is also probably leading the league in unearned runs allowed, scout the player not his numbers. Colon has one pitch which is about a 89 mph fastball, you could put him on a college team and he still would get hit hard.

Keep swinging at balls guys!!

Me, I said it

I'll stand by my arguments. Colon is a joke. His line today versus a bad team again is a joke.

I also believe my other two comments, but I respect those who differ in opinion on those topics.

To play this badly at home against pissant teams is disgraceful. To have four automatic outs in the lineup on a given day is ridiculous. At least Lexi got two more hits today.

 

This team would be in first place right now though if we had a competent hitting coach. (Hell....we'd probably be at least 3 games better in the win column with no hitting coach)

We all loved it, as we should have. The Sox brass, I know for a fact, were stunned he fell to us.

lol i cant stop thinking about how pathetic it was to have the bases juiced with no outs, and we scored a run off a walk, and had no hits

 

lol, who does that, i mean really?

And I'll say this greg...I don't believe Ozzie is effective as manager of this team anymore. There appears to be no motivation, and I'm so sick of him not protecting our players on the field. No retaliation calls and never arguing with the umps.

We ought to hire Big Hurt as pinch hitter/interim hitting coach if Walker has to go.

I wish we moved Becks up in the order, so he can actually see more pitches and get opps to have guys in scoring position. how would you feel hitting behind Wise, BA, Getz and Nix.

 

 

Really good eye!!

Beckham is NOT an automatic out, and Castro is not an everyday player. Yes I agree that BA and Getz seem to be an easy out but you need to lay off Beckham, I don't care if he goes 0-40 hes not going to be an automatic out over his career and all this is doing is giving him valuable experience.

teams that have two hitters in a row that are only in the mlb because of their defense

True, very true. This is probably the worst team Beckham has been on in a long time.

Managed a whopping 4 hits off of Mr. Huff. Simply stunning.

The phillies really need a closer any chance we could pry Victorino away from them with Jenks?

Hey, he deserves a little more respect.. please refer to him as the Cy.

Great at-bat by Dye

For some reason, there's some people on here that want to see Beckham fail. Maybe it's Ozzie's kids.
