I'm sure he's had his share of bad luck but at some point you have to acknowledge that you are just an eminently "hittable" pitcher. There are all sorts of things you can do while pitching to decrease your BABIP, in terms of pitch sequencing, location, spin, etc., and if you can't get those down you're going to find yourself with a BABIP significantly above the league average even before you factor in the effects of bad luck. Marquis has a BABIP of .438 in 2010, but given the sorts of pitches he's been delivering I find it hard to blame that on the vagaries of random chance. Livan Hernandez, on the other hand, has a BABIP of .180 and I'd say that's almost entirely due to luck, seeing as it's over .100 points lower than his career average.eznark said:

Lackey failing always puts a spring in my step.
Also, when do we get to bag and tag Big Papi? Is he officially done yet?

Can't say I'll be happy if the Rays win this one. Let's go Sox, take at least one please.

Damn, where's Dice-K when you need him, he'll be the savior, you just watch.

How awesome?
So awesome.
[EDIT: On the subject of Dice-BB, when do we get to laugh at him? He was more successful than other Japanese imports in this league, but $100M for an ERA close to 5 and 1 good/injury-free year out of 3? Is it lulz yet?]

Damn I hate Monday's, so little baseball.
And you are not allowed to say remotely against gay-age on OT apparently. Stick to making fun of religion from now on.

Blue Jays and the Red Sox's will fight for 3rd place this year.

Somebody look at the Red Sox contract situation. This has to be a rope-a-dope or something; they're gonna shed like, a jillion dollars in contracts at the end of this year or next, right? They have to just be trying to pull a 2008 Yankees and just be able to restock for free the following season, correct? There is no way they are this bad.
And there's no way they're going to be bad for more than a season.

Seriously, I know there have been injuries and stuff (although Ellsbury's being out forever with some sort of undefined soreness is weird) but when Bill Hall is playing multiple games in the outfield this early in the season, that's a major problem.eznark said:
