First off congrats to the young man for now pitching well twice in a row after struggling. (Only 1 run thru five vs eight righthanded tigers). Also as much grief as we have been giving, congrats to Ozzie and Coop for helping/sticking with him. I know I would have had him in the pen. He still looks great first time or two thru the lineup. If he goes to the pen, he should help. ESPN is postulating that Colon stays in rotation.

This ballgame isn't over.

Totally agree just saying he has done his job.... now thru six. It does bother me how the ESPN announcer were creaming over Porcello while he was hit early and Richard was hitting 94 and hardly getting talked about and much more effective.

This isn't a good problem. Colon is still a liability.

If Colon wasn't around, it'd be a nice problem between Torres and Richard and Poreda, which is how it should be.

Well if we are out of it by the trade deadline it wouldnt hurt anything to see how it would go just can Colon

He won't bring back much but there are teams that Colon would be a legit upgrade for. The whole NL Central, for example.

Complete bulls*** if they put Colon in the rotation

CRIAA?

Complete bulls*** if they put Colon in the rotation

Yeah. Let's put in our fat-ass starter who only throws fastballs as our 5th starter over a 25-year-old who is now pitching some of his best ball all year. I can't imagine they would have a long leash for Bartolo though with how well Clayton has performed his last two starts.

Ozzie is opening himself up to a lot of criticism if he removes Richard from rotation and Colon gets rocked in his next few starts.

Don't forget that Colon will be facing the Twins next start. Remember how well that went last time?

I dont think Clayton Richard could be any better in trade bait, every GM is watching this game!

I hear Mauer, Morneau, Kubel and Cuddyer made a reservation for a 7:30 tee time the night Colon pitches.

its laughable at best, i hope KW calls down and say I dont f***in think so.

And you can ALMOST guarantee the wrong decision will be made here, if history gives us any prediction of future events

Oz already said it would be a waste to send Colon to the pen...so to me it says CR will be in the pen or dealt.

Bartolo Colon has the 5th highest OPS against of any starter with as many IP as he does in the AL this season. Oh and his runs/9IP (basically ERA minus the E) is 6.06 seeing as how he has 13 unearned runs this season. Hard to have much faith in him.

send his fat a** down to AAA then

This.

where did anyone read that Colon would start against the Twins on WED?

 

the twins' website has jose contreras listed as the starter?

 

they are holding Jose for the first game of the Yankees series? if they don't go with Clayton and use Colon, it will be worse than skipping Buehrle for Cotts at Yankee Stadium in 2003

I wouldn't be shocked if that was the last game Richard ever pitches for the Sox.

 

 

I know Steve Phillips was saying after the last 2 starts for CR, he could be used in a deal as a bigger piece instead of being a throw in. He mostly mentioned the Halladay deal. No way in hell we pay anything near what they are asking other teams.

I wouldn't be shocked if that was the last game Richard ever pitches for the Sox.

 

 

KW's ego almost DEMANDS he makes a splash every year at this time.

 

I just worry that getting Halladay might end up being a disaster for this franchise....if we could do it without giving up Beckham/Ramirez/Flowers/Danks/Viciedo, though...I might be okay with it.

 

Haren would be a much better acquisition for the long-term competitive stability of this team.

I wouldn't be shocked if that was the last game Richard ever pitches for the Sox.

 

 

For the right reason I would be happy, and thankful for CR.
