About that...


6.2 no hit innings the other day ...


Saw him Friday Night in Toronto. He has no clue where the ball is going and his "stuff" isn't even that wonderful. He throws hard which is nice but that fastball is as straight as an arrow and guys just tee off on it. His breaking stuff is good but half the time it just hangs there. Donaldson had no problem squaring up one of those 98 MPH fastballs and hit it about a mile.

He should be in the bullpen, as a 1 inning guy he'd be effective, but he sucks as a starter (see the 6+ ERA)


You are a fucking moron


He throws really hard, straight and wild. I didn't think any of this was debatable. He should be nowhere near the rotation of a contending team. Nor should Clay at the moment but the kids at AAA aren't ready or aren't good.

I'd rather Buccholtz than him, although both are terrible.

At least Buccholtz showed some balls today

This is fucking dumb


Clay came in and pitched a good inning in a key spot. They're both bad.

You know nothing about baseball.


Differentiate throwing hard from having good stuff. That fastball is straight as an arrow.

He blows, on a team trying to win I'd prefer Jeremy Helickson or whatever crappy option is available at the deadline

Joe Kelly's fastball is the exact opposite of straight as an arrow. That's part of the reason he can't control it.

Clay Buchholz blows so bad that that talking about him as an alternative to Kelly is stupid. Buchholz is throwing in the high 80s, can't control any of his junk, and throws the ball right down the middle everytime he has to go from the stretch. At least Kelly has nasty stuff. Better to struggle harnessing stuff than to have no command over batting practice stuff

Kelly misses like across the plate from the catchers glove. No clue at all where the ball is going. When it rarely finds the strike zone it gets crushed.

These guys are both horrible and neither should be in a rotation of a playoff team.

I am only disputing your assessment of his stuff. I actually watch the games, not the box scores. The 7 IP of no hit ball two starts ago indicates you have zero idea about the quality of Joe Kelly's stuff. Guy has no command, phenomenal stuff, and anyone that has ever seen a Sox game with him pitching could tell you that.

I watch plenty of games and had the displeasure of seeing him up close Friday Night in Toronto. Aside from throwing really hard I was completely underwhelmed. No one on that Jays offense had much trouble squaring up any of his pitches including the 98 mph fastball Donaldson launched about a mile opposite field.

We're in agreement if he could ever control his pitches he would be good, I just don't see that ever happening for 30 starts

Kelly's fastball moves more than any other pitcher on the Red Sox, other than maybe Porcello's 2-seamer. It's by far his best pitch. He just can't control it. This is a dumb argument, because pretty much everyone thinks Kelly's got great stuff.

In a bad start, the team with no trouble squaring him up (one of the best lineups in baseball, btw) struck out 8 times in 4.2 IP. Stuff is not the problem.

This. Dumb argument, he has good stuff. One facet of "stuff", not a prerequisite though, is throwing hard, another is movement, another is arm action on off speed pitches and the list goes on and on. Kelly has enough of these natural attributes that he qualifies as a stuff guy. To simplify, really dumb this down, the term stuff 9 times out of 10 equates to the ability to induce swings and misses, and phenomenal stuff is usually swings and misses on pitches in the zone.

And for no other reason than to stay in character and double down on my preseason statements about Kelly, I threw a handful of ben's on him tonight against the Orioles. The near no hitter and tonight will mark the turning point for him. I want you to remember this debate in October, Eppy.

Now on a tangent here but just because you have a straight fastball does not mean you don't have phenomenal stuff, please see Embree, Allen. Not many guys wanted to face him.

Control is a whole different beast. Control usually comes with the mastering of the craft of pitching i.e.) more of a learned trait than stuff is. When you have a pitcher who has great stuff and control i.e.) Martinez, Pedro, then you are really onto something.


We aren't going to have this debate in October because he isn't going to be in the rotation. He is awful.

He gives up more than a hit per inning and almost 2 bombs per game. Stuff or not guys have no problem squaring him up

Just because you bet your life savings tonight on Joe Kershaw doesn't mean you need to get all upset.

That's 5 ER in 2 IP for those you counting at home. Season ERA of 7.77

I probably slog to 15-20 home games a year and a road series so don't give me that nonesense.

Joe Kershaw's ERA is still north of 8. You can just admit you're wrong and that he blows, it's fine.

If he magically figures out where the ball is going you'll be right, but consider he turns 28 next week I don't see it happening.

This Baltimore pitching staff is also a complete mess

Dude, both suck. Buchholz just doesn't have anything anymore - he throw in the high 80s and nothing moves.

Kelly's problem is all command, not stuff. But don't take it from me, argue with Farrell. "He's blessed with a golden arm and tremendous stuff, but the execution of it has not been as consistent," Red Sox manager John Farrell said.

John Farrell is a fucking moron. Watch him manage a game. The stuff is good, but it's nowhere near what people think.

How do we think Joe Kershaw's stuff will play in the International League? I hear Rhode Island is nice this time of year.

It will probably play better than Clay Burkett and his 88 mph fastball and 86 mph changeup and t\he six other pitches he throws that all look the same and go straight.

Kelly's problem is all command, not stuff. But don't take it from me, argue with Farrell. "He's blessed with a golden arm and tremendous stuff, but the execution of it has not been as consistent," Red Sox manager John Farrell said.


John Farrell is a fucking moron. Watch him manage a game. The stuff is good, but it's nowhere near what people think.

How do we think Joe Kershaw's stuff will play in the International League? I hear Rhode Island is nice this time of year.


It will probably play better than Clay Burkett and his 88 mph fastball and 86 mph changeup and t\he six other pitches he throws that all look the same and go straight.


You forgot the 87 mph cutter that doesn't cut


Trying to forget all of them.

Hey guys look Joe Kershaw is back throwing 101 MPH. Man his stuff is so good!

That 1 ER in 1 IP increased the season ERA to 8.49. The good news is one run per inning pretty soon won't really impact his ERA.
