EvilJester99 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I for one hope at the end of this season you see PK sign on with someone else....I can hardly stand to watch him anymore...its great he hits some homers but he doesn't do much more than that..IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaDoc Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Duque at 96 pitches but in a groove would you pull him now? I will go on record as yes, though I don't think Ozzie will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHarris1 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Crede with his uber long swing K's. I'm gonna say El Duque shouldn't pitch this inning so I'm not accused of 2nd guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Carlos Lee trade also pretty much guarantees that...KW has to see how many players he got because he dumped Lee's Salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Walker is rather nasty. Not sure why he was yanked from their rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYGarland Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 06:51 PM) And .042 overall. Found that he is hitting .368 with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs. But .145 with runners in scoring position. Awful. He definitely hits better w/ runners on 2nd AND 3rd, but w/ just a runner on 3rd it's pretty pathetic. The pitcher's are probably not throwing him anything to hit in that situation, butr he's still swinging away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 That was a nice corpseball sequence to Crede. 3-0 and he swings at a pitch on the outside corner to barely knick it. Next pitch he takes on the outside corner. Then swings a a slider in the dirt on the outside. Swing a a 3-0 pitch if its something you can murder. Not that you barely knick the outside fastball.

Balta1701 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I let El Duque out there but with a very short leash... If he gives up a long ball, worst case is it becomes 5-3. If anyone gets on base, he should come out. We're not facing the "heart" of their order this inning. He might as well get the chance to win it, just in case someone does something next half inning.

Close and Late Paul is .340 .426 .585 1.011 He had a horrible month and a half with RISP, but has been pretty good since it. He's had an OPS over .900 the past two months.

I just think that it's better to be more careful with the starter at this point in the season than to push him to the max. I just wish Ozzie trusted Cotts a little more.

Ozzie's said a couple times that he always likes to give his starters a chance to earn the win if the ballgame is close. I think that's why Duque isn't out yet. Guy on 1st...now I take him out.
