    Its the same problem Parker identified in the offseason, Worley's lack of a 3rd pitch. Take a look at his contact rates on his 2ndary pitches so far. According to fangraph's pitch classifications at least, every single Changeup thrown for a strike and swung on has been contacted. Every single curveball swung on has been contacted whether it was in the zone - or, out of the zone. 100%! The sample sizes are still small but that is not a good sign. Contact rates for hitters at least, are among the first things to stabilize. Guys who don't have a 3rd pitch belong in the pen.
  2. Willihammer
    But those 3-4 guys are worth pursuing, yes? Especially when starting pitching is your biggest need?

    Jim I was trying to tap out there but if you want to go another round we can. How do you reconcile this argument: with this fact:
  4. Willihammer
    Right, "thin." I will give you credit for this Jim. Its almost like we're arguing with Jerry Ryan himself. That is a great boon to my self-inflated sense of importance on the Internet.
  5. Willihammer
    A marginal difference is still a difference. We're talking about a .500 ballclub here.
  6. Willihammer
    The 6 week mark is a little premature to make those judgments one way or the other IMHO. Certainly if none of the 30-odd FA SP candidates proves to be better than what we had in-house coming into 2013, then Ryan is nothing short of a genius and a prophet.
  7. Willihammer
    But tanking 2013 is step 1 of The Plan!
  8. Willihammer
    Their penny pinching speaks to Jr's aversion to free agent spending. That is the source of everyone's frustration here. Or at least, mine. It is a separate topic from the rebuilding/not rebuilding 6 Year Rebuilding Plan to Compete, which doesn't seem to exist anywhere outside of Twinsdaily, btw.
  9. Willihammer
    It was according to the FO.
  10. Willihammer
    2013 isn't shaping up to be a rebuilding year, is it?
  11. Willihammer
    I just hope we're not at .500 by the end of the day. We're not supposed to be competitive til 2015!
  12. Willihammer
    Eh, not to be a 1-upper, But I reckon Gardy's face would look more like this: http://sports.cbsimg.net/images//visual/whatshot/gardy-hicks2.gif

    Jery Remy accused Don Orsillo of stealing tea from the media cafeteria. Orsillo confessed. http://i.imgur.com/fjBnH9D.jpg

    Hitting in front of Florimon. his job is to get on base.
  16. Willihammer
    For once I'm happy about another Morneau broken bat. That could have been ugly.
  17. Willihammer
    Till his point is well and made. That is, till the lead is gone again.
  18. Willihammer
    Oswaldo must have seen Jenny Dell roaming the right field stands. He took a gander over there mid swing
  19. Willihammer
    3 games into this series it finally dawned on me why Red Sox fans are so rowdy. they have 3 and a half hours to drink before last call
  20. Willihammer
    I wonder if, in games like this where both starters are getting shelled, opposing managers ever get into a staring contest. "I won't bust into my bullpen if you don't bust into yours" kind of thing. edit: Guess not.
  21. Willihammer
    Jeff Nelson umpiring tonight?
  22. Willihammer
    Florimon is clearly high on some kind of stimulant, probably a greenie.
  23. Willihammer
    God knows a tidy, 2 and a half hour affair at Fenway would have put us right to sleep
  24. Willihammer
    Positive spin: both teams are 0-1 for pitcher conferences
  25. Willihammer
    I would have guess Napoli too but Jonny Gomes is the 3rd guy. The Red Sox are carrying 4 catchers!
