YASNY Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 We'd be in deep s*** if Loaiza wasn't pitching so great. He has kept alive any chance this team has of rebounding this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Fainter Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Looks like we will have to exercise his option for 2004 at $3.5 Large. Can anyone hear JR gagging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 The way he is pitching $3.5 mil is a bargin. If this team wants to be taken seriously, Colon negotiations should heat up. Loaiza, Colon and Buerhle should give us real hope year after year. Imagine where we would be without Loiaza....hoovering around Cleveland.

elrockinMT Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 When you see what Loaiza is doing it tells me there is hope for pitchers like Garland and Wright if they would only listen to their pitching coach and concentrate during the game on applying the advice. EL has been helped tremendously by Cooper and his talent in now on display. Sign the guy for an extension is what I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wong & Owens Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Slow down. This is a guy with a sub-.500 career record, with an ERA of around 4.70. He's had 6 good weeks, and people think he's Mike Mussina or something. Let's see how the rest of the season goes for him, and start deciding what to do with him in September.

The difference is this guy has never been close to this good. Everyone has taked about his fast starts, but here are his #'s for his first 8 starts from 01-03 2001- 4-3 4.71 era 2002- 3-4 4.44 era 2003- 7-1 2.05 era I think that something has been fixed.

Wong & Owens Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 True, he has been much better, but I'd still not jump the gun too early. If Pedro Martinez started this year with a 2-7 record, and a 4.68 ERA, would you tell the Red Sox to hurry up and get rid of him? I trust overall career numbers more than a 6 week stretch in any one season. Believe me, I hope you are right, but I'm going to remain wary for now. to Loaiza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 why is it that when a guy goes from bad to good, people say, "well, ___ amount of time doesn't make up for years of bad play". yet when a guy plays good and struggles, people say "this guys sucks". this wasn't directed at you tolleson, just something I've noticed.

Molto Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 BTW, I don't think Loaiza will continue on this pace, but I do see him having a strong season, he's looked very different compared to years past and seems to have a really good attitude about it.

I agree, this kind of thing runs rampant around here. Although, I don't recall calling for the head of any Sox player thus far with a good track record behind them except Thomas, who I just feel is washed up.

Soxplosion Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Loaiza is awesome. I totally agree he has kept some hope alive for us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winning Ugly Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Just think of the added pressure on this guy to get us those "must-wins" to break losing streaks. It all started when he was #4 to start the season and after getting swept against the Royals he pitched a gem against the Tiggers. Then he pitches the third game of the Royals series to give us 2 out of 3 against them. Then after losing the last 2 gamnes of a 4 game set to the lowly Tribe, he gets us a big win in Baltimore. Once again, in his next start he gives us the series win against the Twins. He gives us our only win at Oakland, then last night another W after we lost 4 of 6 on the road. He's so clutch right now it's not funny. And the intensity in his face when he's on the mound...he's got those "Pedro Eyes." I hope he stays for at least 3-4 more years, because like SS said, he's been "fixed." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
