I know this is off topic, but did anyone see kruk felate Francona about his skills as a manager of lineups and keeping his team focused. Francona probably had himself a nocturnal emission and didn’t know why until he turned on ESPN. Then he just felt dirty.

Yup. He’d be our #10 hitter, a marginal upgrade over Molina that allows us to spell Jorge and Matsui aggressively.

Go to your local Hollywood Video and buy their clearance VHS tapes of Leprechaun, Leprechaun 2, Leprechaun 3, Leprechaun 4: In Space, Leprechaun: In the Hood, and Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood and ask him to sign all six movies.

Then, bitchslap him for making six of those horrible movies.

Well usually more walks = worse pitching, yes. Unless you’re Nolan Ryan or some other exceptions.

Regardless of “better” or “worse”…you would rightfully assume Ponson, Geise, and Rasner would have worse location than adding Sabathia, Burnett, a healthy Joba, Hughes, etc.

That’s all.

I guess the innings pitched is irrelevant. I just threw it in there as I was adding stats down.

True, but s/he was making it sound like throwing more innings is a sign a poor pitching staff, when it really has no relation.

So walking more means your team is bad at pitching? That’s what your fourth paragraph says.

You know why the walks are up? Joba and A.J.

I’d chalk the overall numbers up to a bad start. Since the all-star break, they’re 1st in the AL in K/9 (8.33), K/BB (2.72) and OPS against (.682). They’re 2nd in ERA (3.56) and WHIP (1.27) and 4th in BB/9 (3.07).

Since the break, they’ve been every bit as dominant as we had hoped (and that’s with all 6 of Mitre’s starts being post-break).
