i feel

if he gets his curve down he’s a solid 2, and if not he’s your typical number 5, some nights on and some nights off but at least he gives you 6 innings

by BestKosherPolish on Aug 12, 2008 2:38 AM CDT reply actions  

Kalk doesn't like the slider

but it seems to be Floyd’s most deceptive pitch to hitters. The swinging strike % on that pitch is over 20 and almost 3x higher than the next closest pitch (curve.) There is not much difference in how often the slider is hit compared to his other pitches

Josh's Anatomy Of...

are a little up and down. For one, I’m not positive he’s throwing a two-seamer and I’ve seen him throw how many games now? Where did you get those numbers for the whiff rate on sliders?

A dude on my "field" team (damn corporate jargon bullshit), located in Tennessee, is named Don Cooper.

When I met him, the first thing out of my mouth was, “That’s the name of the White Sox pitching coach!”

They don’t care as much in Tennessee.

Garcia’s deal is a minor-league contract that runs only through the end of 2008. It will become a major league contract if he’s promoted to the parent club. Garcia will report first to Class-A Lakeland. As long as he’s on the major league roster by August 31, he will be eligible for the postseason.

I don’t see the downside to this deal.

Red Sox acquire RHP Paul Byrd from Indians for a PTBNL...
Red Sox acquired RHP Paul Byrd from the Indians for a player to be named later or cash.
With Tim Wakefield hurting and Clay Buchholz struggling, the Red Sox went out and got a veteran starter for the stretch run. Byrd is 7-10 with a 4.53 ERA and the 37-year-old will be a free agent after the season. With Charlie Zink scheduled to start in Wakefield’s place Wednesday, the Red Sox could either bump him from the rotation after one outing or replace Buchholz, who’s scheduled to pitch Friday. For the Indians, Aaron Laffey is the obvious choice to replace Byrd in the rotation.

WTF, Kenny? Too bad Kenny wasted his PTBNL on Franklyn German.

September 1—The final, final, final trading deadline passed late Wednesday night without activity, leaving the Sox with one of the flimsiest batting orders of any contender in years. (The Sox are) a downwardly spiraling imposter that has little chance to win a postseason series, unless ominous patterns unexpectedly turn bright in coming weeks…... Buehrle doesn’t have his stuff. You don’t know what you’re getting from Garland. El Duque is fading. Dustin Hermanson still has an iffy back. The team looks tired. The defense has been woeful. The lineup has too many automatic outs. The Sox aren’t playing well at home. Who is Geoff Blum, anyway?

we're talking about marginal improvement on marginal players

Masset was fine for clean up duty and now Broadway is there. Net gain/loss = 0. So you’ve got Jenks, Thornton, Dotel, Ramirez where we had Jenks, Thornton, Dotel, Linebrink and Logan before. We’re down a single arm in the pen. There isn’t that much high leverage work available for that to matter that much.

So we look at the fifth starter. Byrd wasn’t going to be traded here. Washburn is owned by Seattle’s crazy management. Who else would you have Kenny acquire?

I have been opining since the summer trade deadlines - in this column, on national TV, on every media outlet not controlled by Soxaganda - that the boys are vulnerable to a classic choke job because management didn’t bring in reinforcements….(Ken) Williams was foolishly protective of clubhouse chemistry ….The Sox have been a house of cards all along …It was unrealistic to think smart ball would hold up all season when the concept was so dependent on pitching. ...

So the Red Sox acquire Byrd because Wakefield is hurting and Buchholz is struggling...

Meanwhile, Kenny acquires a minor league reliever with a 1.72 WHIP when one of his starters goes down for the season. There’s something wrong with that.

were the cubs not playoff contenders, and thus competeing for that late august / september

were the cubs not playoff contenders, and thus competing for that late august / september entertainment dollar, i suspect kenny would have been more aggressive. as it is, kenny brought in griffey to attract the casual fan who may be persuaded to ship a few dollars to the southside to watch a former star, seek an autograph, buy a jersey, etc. in lieu of paying inflated prices on the northside.

is this economic climate you don’t bet the farm, you circle the wagons.

Red Sox may have acquired Paul Byrd for just cash...

BOSTON—The Boston Red Sox have acquired pitcher Paul Byrd in a trade with the Cleveland Indians.

The Red Sox will send either a player to be named or cash to the Indians.

"Jordan Danks could return to Texas"

Link:

"They’ve got about 72 hours if they want him," Danks’ father, John Danks, said. "If they don’t want him they can stand where they are. Somebody is going to blink. It seems like they’re waiting for us to do it. Well, that’s not going to happen. We’re not going to blink."
"Their original offer was slightly below what we discussed on draft day and, while Jordan is anxious to go and play, he also understands that he’s a player that most all the draft boards had him in the top 75 players," John said. "There was another team who called right around when the White Sox did, and that team was ready to pay Jordan second-round money. The White Sox knew this and we talked about it."

The longer this goes on, the more likely it is for Danks to return for his senior season.

"I’m just not going to put Jordan on a bus because they throw out a number," John said. " We can send him to a first-class university with a first-class facility. I’m just not going to allow him to go off to South Atlantic League just because. We have better options out there. He’s not that far from graduating."

yawn. it's about time some of you got on the bandwagon i created.

sweet. let’s sign willie mays, too.
he’ll suck but it’s willie. fucking. mays.

and mays is still alive so we wouldn’t have to pay for him to be reanimated out of cryogenic freezing like with williams. gotta keep the costs down!

Look, I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

You want to get Willie Mays as he exists today, and that’s just stupid—of course, he’ll suck, he’s like 80 years old.

I’m talking about the Ted Williams of ‘41—the .400 hitting Ted Williams, the I’ll down 20 goddman North Korean airplanes just by looking at them sideways Ted Williams. Let’s get him and forget about this Jerrod Washburn, Paul Byrd, 80-year old Willie Mays crap.

Question for Cheat

Is there a way of filtering comments from certain posters on these threeads? I think if I can limit SSH to only one post per thread I can get his point without hearing it over and over again. Thanks. Please share with the group as I’m sure others would like to know.

some analysis

the twins are breaking out of a ascending triangle which projects to 19 games over .500. the sox are consolidating at the lower end of their range, which usually portends of a future higher winning percentage but requires confirmation of a breakout to new highs. a break beneath the low end of the range is disastrous and likely means a far lower winning percentage. there you have it.
