Y2HH Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Bmac vs Texas?! Is it just me, or does that sound like extra batting practice for the Texas mashers?! If I were Ozzie, I'd start Bmac under one single condition, show me you can throw your change for strikes like in spring training, and you can start...otherwise he will get shelled, especially by the Rangers.

Somebody has to start that game, and Brandon is our best option. From what I've been hearing about the way he's been pitching lately, I'll gladly take my chances with BMac over any other option we have.

Y2HH Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 If Bmac is using his changeup and throwing it for strikes, he's dangerous...if not, he's too predictable with his fastball, which loses it's effectiveness.

False Alarm Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 QUOTE(BMAC3520 @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 06:15 AM) Wait... is that me on the right or on the left? I'm offended if it's me getting my ass kicked. Unfortunately... the rest of the pic is pretty accurate. hey much love and good luck in the future, bmac. lookin forward to seein' you with the big team for good soon.

Y2HH Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I don't think there is much of an alternative, honestly, but hell, does it matter who starts?! I don't think any of our minor league pitchers could do much worse than Bmac has done in the majors...what's his ERA up top, like 8?! Arnie Munoz and Felix Diaz can put up numbers like that, too.

Texsox Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 12:32 AM) Here's what a fight between Jack McDowell and BMac would look like. Sorry, being in Texas and all, it looked a lot like a Nolan Ryan v. Robin Ventura fight. Damn, now I really want to make the 1000 mile round trip to Dallas. Hey Kap, got a guest room? I think a Bmac start is just what the team needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to go but I think I have almost no shot at going - I can't get off work as it's budget season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keninem Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hey Brandon, good luck against Texas..they're a hard hitting team, but I've got confidence that you'll do just fine. Can't wait to see you permanantly on the Sox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringfieldFan Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 (edited) Uh, this is going to sound really stupid, but why are we looking for another starter for that game? edit: Oh ok I see now. It is a doubleheader so they want to retain the same number of off days for the other starters. I guess it really was a stupid question Edited August 25, 2005 by SpringfieldFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
