Watch McCarthy Tonight


Recommended Posts

McCarthy's fastball has got to be changed, and soon. He doesn't have a lot of velocity, and his fastball is extremely straight. Part of the reason he's having troubles with the long ball is because of his good control. He's wild in the strike zone, and doesn't have enough velocity or sink on his fastball to get away with it at the majors or AAA.

Just wait till that body of his fills out. He's gonna be something.

And some of you guys want McCarthy starting over El Duque. :headshake Until McCarthy can keep the ball in the park, he won't be able to help the rotation. Especially not pitching home games at the Cell.

That would be nice, but pitch velocity does not always increase like power does as a hitter gets bigger. If anything, it seems like Sox pitchers lose velocity on their pitches the older they get.

The Choadmeister was 2 for 4 with an RBI.  He is now hitting .364 with a .462 OBP in 33 AB's.  Time to bring him up, Kenny.

 

Gload may be putting up great numbers, but does he bat 1.000 in pleasing Ozzie Guillen?

 

Timo does.
