Two things.

I’m excited. We have the best record in all the land.

I’m also annoyed. Please stop talking about our “road woes.” We have a .500 record on the road. Same as the Cubs and better than all but 4 teams in the league and only worse than 1 AL team. We’re elite on the road compared to the rest of the league.

And RJ, can we get a post about Willy Aybar? The man is stepping it up BIG TIME.

Offensively, he’s better than a replacement for Carl Crawford (In the short term…given more PA he might even things out)

He’s doing too well to be eclipsed by posts about Carlos’ salary. Let’s talk about HIS salary.

Who would win in race between Cecil Fielder, Sid Bream, Toby Hall, Aubrey Huff, and a can of baked beans? My money is on the beans!

Olney:
Edwin Jackson looked absolutely poised and completely at ease rolling out six solid innings in a crucial game between contenders, and for that, he and the Rays deserve a whole lot of credit. There were times during the 2007 season when Tampa Bay might’ve dropped Jackson out of its rotation, but the Rays stuck with Jackson and kept giving him the ball, and he is now among the top half of the AL starters — and getting better. Remember, he doesn’t turn 25 until next month.

Motherfucker is insane. “Poised” = walking five, letting the leadoff man reach the first five innings. ‘Top half of the AL starters" his tRA is over 5.5, that’s beyond awful.

by R.J. Anderson on Aug 23, 2008 2:32 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

he Sox pounded Edwin Jackson for 7 hits and 5 walks in the first 5 innings, but only managed 2 runs. Yet again, the Sox managed just 1 hit with a runner in scoring position (which failed to plate General Soreness) and struggled with fundamentals on the basepaths.

On the last trip to Tampa Bay, the Sox couldn’t properly execute a rundown. Friday night, they couldn’t throw out a runner they had picked off and handed two straight outs to the Rays when it appeared Maddon’s crew was reading Ozzie’s mail. First, Juan Uribe was throw out on hit-and-run when the Rays called for a pitch out. Then just a couple pitches later, on the first pitch after Orlando Cabrera reached base, Tampa called for another pitch-out to catch Cabrera on what appeared to be a straight steal, properly executing the rundown, of course.

It’s very simple…throw more FB’s down and away and more balls will be put in play. With his stuff, he would get a ton of weak groundballs early in the count. I dont get their pitch selection.

He doesnt try it much...

He is always trying to throw in, and there is laess margin for error. Plus he would get more balls put in play early in the count if the just threw FB’s down and away early in the count. It really is easy…
