Steve Phillips

Picks Boston as AL’s best offensive team. How can they be a better offense when the only stat they lead Texas in is OBP, which is by one point.

He says he knows Texas has scored more runs but Boston has more ways to score runs. Then why aren’t they??

by Chris Hanes on Jun 15, 2008 11:48 AM CDT reply actions  

Because they don't have the MURPHINATOR!

They also

don’t exactly have more ways to score runs especially with Ortiz out for at least a a few more weeks. The Rangers have the edge on them from production from just about each position on the field (obviously not 1B).

First game using MLB TV

How much of a delay is the premium feed of MLB compared to watching the television broadcast?

by SaltyGoesYard on Jun 15, 2008 12:05 PM CDT reply actions  

I heard the 800K is nominal and the 1.2 meg feed is like 30 seconds

I’m on the cheap 400K feed and it varies… sometimes only a few seconds, sometimes as much as 15

by Inkara1 on Jun 15, 2008 12:07 PM CDT up reply actions  

usually

but it isn’t always the case. sometimes there is no difference between 400 and 800

that he’s doing more of a side step with his delivery. He’s using more upper body than legs, I’m sure because of his injury….Ron Darling pointed that out.. That must have a lot to do with it.

by Inkara1 on Jun 15, 2008 1:23 PM CDT up reply actions  

If Padilla

finishes the season as strong as he has started it, he is currently on pace to win 19 games, pitch around 200 innings, have an ERA below 4, His peripherals, though, don’t seem to support his performance thus far. His ERA+ is 107. Nevertheless, his stuff is comparably to a #1 starter. He also has had a couple seasons where he has pitched like an all-star (2002 and 2003).

While I am not sure that he is a “legit ace”, I would go as far as saying he is a top of the rotation starter capable of being an ace.

obviously he is struggling but as a manager, you are supposed to use your player’s strengths. Both Frankie and CJ have struggled in non crunch situations. Frankie has been very good when he comes in with runners on and in a close game.

Of course you want him to be mentally stronger and excel in both situations but in a 8-2 game, wouldnt you want a guy like Mathis or Rupe with good control just throwin strikes in there?

Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.

Milton Bradley!!!!

That’s it. Hicks, hand him a contract and tell him to fill out the years and the money. That guy is a freaking keeper
