Princess Dye Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 (edited) maybe this sounds odd, but i'm just glad to see that he still isnt walking people. i'll live with performances like today, where he says 'here it is hit it'..... even when they do hit it, i prefer this approach to the problems from last year where he would not challenge people i dont see him ever being an absolutely unhittable type guy..... but if he's going to go about things the way he has in every start this year..... he's got a spot in my rotation as long as he wants it Edited May 7, 2005 by Princess Dye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxmatt Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 (edited) Fact is garland was due up for a bad start. I mean come on you cant have an era at 1.38 all season. He just wasnt keeping the ball down today. Still 6-0 though. Edited May 7, 2005 by Chisoxmatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland is not gonna throw complete game shut outs all the time "although I would love it." As long as he's agressive and not walking people, he'll be fine.

Middle Buffalo Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 That's exactly how McDowell used to pitch. Let the batter get himself out. Trying to be too fine and strike guys out takes the fielders out of the game and is pointless with a big lead. Cub fans would always talk about Jack's ERA, without understanding that it's more important to get a W than put up stats. Surprising that Cub fans wouldn't know that (as they bow to Sammy while losing by 7). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabroni Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Garland said he could never get into a groove with all of the long innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I agree with this also. I rather him get schalacked by challenging hitters instead of going away and walking guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 7, 2005 -> 03:53 PM) Garland said he could never get into a groove with all of the long innings. OH, NO, I KNEW IT!!!

SHAFTR Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 There were quite a few of the hits that were infield singles, so that doesn't concern me. The homerun ball is what concerned me. His tendency to give up the long ball has always been his weakest aspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did his job, they won the game and Garland is kicking some butt!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Funny thing is, he gives up 6 runs and his ERA JUMPS to 2.42!!!! That should tell you how little amount of runs he's give up this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should tell you how little amount of runs he's give up this year. Or how little innings he's pitched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
