CubsSuck1 Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Tonight he pitched horrible and he did not show that he was worthy of being a starter in our rotation. IF he can turn it around, then I'd gladly welcome him to pitch, but he really shouldn't talk about pitching for other teams and demading a starters role. He was GIVEN the job before spring training, and he lived up to it for a while, but as of late, I'd almost like to have seen Rauch or Diaz or even Munoz given another chance. No run support for him tonight, but we can't explode every night either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 He played awesome early. I'd give him one more start atleast. He did just come off the DL. Everyone is talking about Willie deserving consistent playing time in order to settle, while what is the deal here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I agree... Diaz needs to just be given the job and given time to work things out. Show's luck has run out and he needs to either be sent down {and hope someone claims his stubborn ass off of waviers} or sent to the pen. Either way I don't want to see any more of Show. I honestly don't believe he was ever hurt... I think that the Organization didn't want to be embarassed and wanted to have an excuse for losing to the Cubs at home. It was only a bonus that Diaz pitched a solid game and Zambrano was rocked. Now he's back and getting another chance and the fact remains he has just lost it....

You are getting paid, so you do what you are told. I know Aneheim has an AMAZING offense, but this is not based on just one start. A couple great months of pitching may have gotten up to Shoe, and I am not sure if he is capable of pitching so manny innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
