Dice-K Done

[Brock Landers]

D. Matsuzaka (L, 0-1) 4.2 7 7 6 3 4 2 2.14 11.57

in case anyone didn't already know, this guy is spent

[stealthyburrito]

sad but true. every inning he throws is a 20+ pitch adventure, even when he was "good". guy is a walk machine.

[Brock Landers]

all those innings he threw in Japan, have caught up. He is now on Auto fade with freddy Garcia and jake Peavy

[stealthyburrito]

not a bad idea, though sometimes we see lines like this from dice-k: 5.0 IP, 1 ER, 5 BB, 7 K.

back when he went 18-3 he had alot of lines similar to this (not exact). But maybe not now, that offense is a shell compared to what it had in 07-08.

[Doug]

I knew he was a mistake when they signed him, Jap pitchers ain't that good.

Ichiro is the only good Jap ballplayer, and he's only a singles hitter.

[KingKolzig]

he looked very good in his 3 minor league starts. something like a 1.60 era.........id give him another start before i start to fade. but then im going to parlay the opposing team and the over every game

Minor Leagues means less than nothing. Guy is this lose to being washed up, when pitchers go, they fall off the face of the earth

guy has already proven he's washed up with his nearly 1:2 BB:IP in the MLB.

[excel]

Lifes ruff, then you become a retired japanese pitcher.

Have you forgotten about Hideki Matsui, the 2009 World Series MVP?

[Venkman]

Boston has burned me many times this season

Ditto, done laying anything on those underachieving ****s.

thats way too extreme a statement. it means something for sure...........would you like to wager on his era for next start. i say he gives up less that 4.5 earned in his next start???? you want the over?

[mtneer1212]

Only cost the Red Sox $50 million to negotiate with him, and another $25 million for his contract. $75 million down the drain.

[starfire]

who cares about Dice K...Brock I'm dreaming of your next Rubber Band Play...lol

[keyboarding]

I wonder if they noticed.

[Venkman]

has lackey done anything for them this year?

[stealthyburrito]

Only cost the Red Sox $50 million to negotiate with him, and another $25 million for his contract. $75 million down the drain.

no it cost them $100 mil, 50 mil to negotiate and 50 mil to sign over 6 years. even bigger waste.

[Whippit]

no way brah

[pico]

at least they got a championship

[No coincidences]

I'm stunned -- after all, he was so solid in '09.

[Doug]

Have you forgotten about Hideki Matsui, the 2009 World Series MVP?

good series for sure, but he's kind of a DH now, not too great of an outfielder, not signing him by the NYY was probably the correct move, I want a guy that can play the field, not a F/T DH

Few of the Japs work out well, like Irabu

Ichiro is like HOF material.

[Venkman]

out of their starting staff, buchholz has been the only one that's been decent

[stealthyburrito]

I'm stunned -- after all, he was so solid in '09.

2009 stats: 4-6 5.76 ERA, 30 BB in 59 innings and a 1.87 WHIP.

what's so great about those stats?

I was joking.

He's been done for a long time now. He and Ortiz should walk hand-in-hand into the sunset.

[Manaconda]

the whole team is just laughable. time to rebuild bigtime

[Doug]

Lackey
Beckett
Lester

seem like solid pitchers to me, never liked Daisyduke, but his 18-3 year was nice, nada since.

nice enough rotation, and closer.

However I kind of see Boston finishing 3rd in the AL East, or barely 2nd, but with a winning record, maybe 85 -87 wins ?

[stealthyburrito]

I was joking.

could not agree more then no C, this describes the situation that should happen very soon.

if Boston management has a brain, they'll start changing it up. Bring in Adrian G for fukks sake.

[Sunde91]

all those innings he threw in Japan, have caught up. He is now on Auto fade with freddy Garcia and jake Peavy

And Vazquez, the king auto-fade. I was baffled by the amount of people on here laying 150 chalk with that bum.

[Doug]

Vasquez is indeed pretty weak for the NYY, but he's not Japanese ! (LOL)

I look to take +money against him.

He sure won't start playoff games.

[gryfyn1]

They are, look at the roster, they have 70 million coming off the Books at the end of this year; and they have have several Key guys signed/arb.

[tblues2005]

I agree with you Brock this guy is finished. I would bet against him for sure for a least a while.

[brumbies]

good series for sure, but he's kind of a DH now, not too great of an outfielder, not signing him by the NYY was probably the correct move, I want a guy that can play the field, not a F/T DH Few of the Japs work out well, like Irabu Ichiro is like HOF material.

Whats wrong with being a F/T DH?

[Rich Boy]

Dice K getting smoked in the 1st inning

[chant815]

They don't build them like Hideo Nomo no more. Now that was a horse and he racked up a lot of mileage while he was at it.
