would i be insane to say that this series proved the yankees at near full strength are a much, much better team than the red sox? [/ QUOTE ] yes these three games proved that and much much more. such as varitek and lowell are hitters than ortiz and mariano sucks.

Re: *official 2007 red sox thread*
For the Red Sox fans..I haven't seen a ton of Papelboner short of his games vs yankees.
what makes him so dominant..it obv can't just be his heater right cuz there are a # of other closers/pitchers who throw 96+ and have a decent 2nd pitch. He throws a fastball and a slider as his two out pitches correct? Does he just have alot of movement on his FB? Perfect control? Or do most hitters in the league have problem with guys who throw extreme heat? I recall the Zoom zoom guy caused a lot of grief for hittters last year too.

Re: *official 2007 red sox thread*
schilling had something on his blog about papelbon, said his pitch appeared to be on a lower plane or something, iirc.
not only that, his splitter is [censored] nasty. he threw one to jeter (i think?), clocked at 94

Re: *official 2007 red sox thread*
I read an interview with the pitching coach John Farrell. He said Papelbon's delivery makes his pitch hard to pick up right away. I guess he delivers it in front of his body? So it gets lost in his jersey a bit.
He's so sick. I love it.
