Around SBN: What If This Is It For The Celtics? End Of An Era Looming

"That's the thing I don't understand, all the stuff going on,'' Jenks said. "I mean it's one game. Everyone is hitting the panic button in f------ April. Chill out. I don't want to say everything I want to say, but it was one bad game. The game before that I gave up a solo home run, the wind is blowing out 20 mph, what are you going to do?''
Asked if it was unfair that he seemed to be the one that was singled out, Jenks said, "I really don't want to comment on it too much because I really don't want to start anything, but it was one game. It was one F-ing game. Things happen.''

Give me a break

Bobby has been giving us heart attack worthy performances since last year… its not just “one fucking game”… if it was then we would not be making such a big deal about it. He looked like garbage in Spring Training this year anyways..

He is lucky that he has been put in so few save situations this year

doesn't he make sense to give the ninth to?

I don't want him completely out of the ninth

I just want what Ozzie says he might do. Thornton in high lev- wherever it is. Jenks, Sergio and Putz interchangeable. Last night was perfect execution. All 4 involved or ready to be involved.

Professor Terguson: You remember that thing we had about 30 years ago called the Korean conflict? And how we failed to achieve victory? How come we didn’t cross the 38th parallel and push those rice-eaters back to the Great Wall of China?
Professor Terguson: [rips a desk apart] Then take the fucking wall apart
[shouts]
Professor Terguson: brick by brick and nuke them back into the fucking stone age forever? Tell me why! How come? Say it! Say it!
Thornton Melon: [incensed] All right. I’ll say it. ‘Cause Truman was too much of a pussy wimp to let MacArthur go in there
[shouts]
Thornton Melon: and blow out those Commie bastards!
Professor Terguson: Good answer. Good answer. I like the way you think. I’m gonna be watching you.
Thornton Melon: [chuckling to his classmates] Good teacher. He really seems to care. About what I have no idea.

I like it

No hangdog expressions. No declarations of “I’m pressing. I’m doing too much. I’m making my pitches. I don’t know.”

He got back on the horse. Got the save. And told his critics to go screw themselves. Nice to see a little fight in this team.

His line about TP’ing Thome’s house if he hits another double off of him was gold.

I don't buy the chemistry argument either

But the team, as constructed has more talent than we’ve seen. Nice to see someone act like it.

Agreed..

There’s a difference between having team chemistry (something I think doesn’t really matter) and having some fight in you.
Gotta have some confidence in your abilities if you want to turn it around.

maybe something along the lines of threatening to show up at his house and eat all his food would have a better effect.

haha, but i'm in the land of swiss and we got our own benjamins (the swiss franc)

but yeah life is good. i feel like my quality of life has improved considerably since leaving boston. work is stimulating, but nobody is stressed out yet everyone is productive. and basel is pretty cool for a small city. arts and music is heavily promoted and we live a couple blocks away from the rhine where everybody hangs out during the warm season. i also like how basel’s on the border with germany and france, and we made some trips to freiborg and colmar and expect to make many more. it will be a fun two years. if you anticipate traveling through these parts, you and the plus two are more than welcome to visit here.

I still think he's the guy and should be the guy

he’s currently sporting a BABIP of .478! That will come down, hopefully hard. His K/9 is up from 8.27 to 11.77! That should regress too, but I think he’s just been unlucky so far. Unless he starts blowing saves regularly I just don’t see a need for a change. By all means though I’m for Thornton / Jenks matchup closing.

here's something that i've been thinking about in regards to K/9

it seems that a lot of times guys’ Ks are up when they’re getting hammered. i don’t think that seems like much of a positive to take from the situation. wouldn’t it be more relevant to look at his K/at-bats? i mean, if his whip is 1 and he Ks 9/9, then he’s striking out 1 player out of 4. if he’s facing another batter per inning, and striking out 25% more per 9, then how is he striking out more people? he’s doing it at the same rate, just facing more people.
