fathom Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 01:57 AM) Big deal. It's a baseball game. You going to slit your wrists? Get some perspective. You know what a great remedy is...go watch the 2005 WS DVD. I GUARANTEE you'll feel better after watching PK's grand slam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 With over 100 pitches was it necessary to have Jon start this inning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsox Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 QUOTE(39th & Wentworth @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 01:52 AM) John got pinched on a few pitches and that has caused him to throw some meatballs over the plate. s*** happens and to compensate he threw over the plate and hung some to get strikes. I personally think that most teams sit back and wait for our entire staff to throw a hanging change up. We have been getting killed with the hanging s***. I hear ya but every pitcher gets squeezed here and there and good pitchers get over it. And there's our leadoff man swinging at the very first pitch, forcing Johnson to pitch as few pitches as possible. And some people wanted Pablo to start every game when Pods hit a skid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankensteiner Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 08:57 PM) Felix is a very positive, optimistic poster. There's no reason to try to start stuff with him after he said his peace. Refusing to acknowledge this team's problems is completely ridiculous.

Yeah, without starting this inning, Garland wouldn't have that extra earned run scored on him that is guaranteed to be scored against Riske.

SoxHawk1980 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I hope people will stop saying that Garland is our only good starting pitcher. I might be willing to consider that once his ERA gets under 4.50. It is over 5 now. He's not very good. He's certainly not reliable. I'd be happy to bet anyone that he will never see 4.50 this year. And please don't waste my time with by arguing his wins-and-losses. If you give any AAA pitcher the kind of run support Garland has gotten, he can win you this many games. Garland's ERA, WHIP, etc. tell you how bad he's been this season. Do we have a good, reliable starting pitcher this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could have been? Why not appreciate how everything fell into place last year? This year, we're not creating/getting breaks, and we're having a lot of pitchers underachieve. I'm the last person to say that we should still live in 2005....but some people need a little perspective these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland's ERA, WHIP, etc. tell you how bad he's been this season. Do we have a good, reliable starting pitcher this year? He was reliable for the last two months. For our starters this year, that's pretty damn good. Garland is facing a tremendous lineup tonight, and they capitalized on every bad pitch he made. I'm not going to give up on Garland yet. He showed me a lot of guts this year bouncing back from the terrible start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being flamed for not getting excited about Garland after saying his good stretch of games might be nothing but a hot streak. That worked out pretty well.

You're essentially telling us we should be happy because we got lucky last year. That's loser talk. I would like to see KW's reaction after telling him to watch the 2005 DVD in the middle of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
