I don't understand this at all. Buchholz is over 100 pitches and we aren't shelling him. I just. don't. get it.

It would be a daily shopping trip to the waiver wire to rotate through guys to build up IP. I could grab someone like Feldman and then drop him and get someone else to throw Sunday like Diamond.

 

Who are your top 6? You must have daily roster changes. If so, I would drop him for the streaming spot.

Yeah... It's plays like those that don't count as errors but are defensive examples of what winning teams do.

 

Its a play that could have saved a run or led to a big inning for the Sox. That's the stuff baseball is made of.

Yep, is it bad that I thought about Nick Punto for a second? That's the kind of goofy play that he'd make.

Because you are not used to seeing a pitcher of this caliber, except on other teams. (I'm guessing that was your point.)

Geez, is Ortiz using a walker to get to 1B????

Does Ortiz not even fake-jog back to the dugout anymore? Get the man a jazzy!

You got it... all systems running and within normal parameters.

Harvey

Moore

Medlen

Cingrani

Jose Fernandez

Kendrick

 

i would normally drop Kendrick over Hellickson but Kendrick is pitching well enough to kill that idea.

yet again coach carter shows up on the timeline

Mike Carp... There are times I wish my name was Brian Gorilla.

I would say go for it. If Hellickson starts to pick it up, drop Kendrick. Your staff doesn't look great, so you probably can't sacrifice tallying stats for rate stats.

Is it just me, or do the top half of most innings seem to take a lot longer than the bottom half?

For 12 team league... I'm pretty happy with that staff. Medlen will be the problem child out of that bunch... I can live with that.

Or at least the Brian part...

I think the innings are just slow to gather momentum.

Does somebody actually keep that stat - length of half-inning? That would be interesting to have quantitative data on.

Most of the time I would say it is just you....but you are correct.

Along with the stat of hat straightens per inning.

Contact by the Hammer...progress. Man he's in a funk lately.

Doumit or Morneau in a fight? I gotta say Doumit

And tonight Morneau doesn't look much better.

4 straight pitches in the dirt, and Justin swings at 3 of em, check swing on the other. Worst AB of the year?

I always kind of assumed that an average half-inning should last about 10 minutes - figure a 3-hour game length, divided by 18 half innings.

you have to factor in the commercials.

The only acceptable answer is Luis Rivas.

That's one way to put it.

That was one thing I appreciated during my minor league trip last year - game pace did seem significantly faster than in the majors.

Come on, the first 20 Hicks ABs were epic in that category.

I may have been a little quick to compliment Florimon earlier.

Chief... I gotta side with Ultima here.
