What happened to teams pulling their starters at like 80 pitches in their first couple starts? 99 seems pretty mid-season-form-esque.

This just popped into my head as a way to provide a disincentive to use openers to pitch. If your starting pitcher goes at least 6IP, you are awarded the ability to use one reliever for just one batter. Thoughts?

Why don't we get rid of the shit-ass three batter rule instead?

They should put Dalbec in a van and drop him off on the other side of the border without a passport.

He has struck out in 53 of his last 109 MLB plate appearances

That he is on this roster is an early indictment on Breslow's eye for hitting talent.

Hand-eye co-ordination is a problem WHEN YOU CAN'T SEE.

I want some value for Dalbec after all the FFS moments we’ve had to watch for the last 3 years. Would a little league team take him as like a player coach, and maybe in return the LL team buys the Sox players an ice cream after a really good game?
