elrockinMT Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 QUOTE(soxyess @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 08:00 PM) Do we have anyone at AAA that can take his place in the rotation. Send this p**ck to the minors!!! not sure we have any pitching left in the minors to call up as a starter. I wouldn't mind seeing Vazquez and Garcia gone next season in excahnge for solid relief pitching and then move McCarthy and Cotts into the starting pitching roles. Maybe even a free agent pick up could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgaudin Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Everyone here sounds surprised that the Sox are gettin' their butts handed to them. Santana owns the Sox, first of all. Second, "Half-game" Vasquez has been his usual 5 run per outing pitcher. Like I said, it will be a moral victory if we get 3 runs off this mote.

PA32R Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 01:03 PM) The pitching and defnese this year has been far from stellar. KW definitely needs to shore up these problems in the offseason. We need a new LF, backup C, Possible SS, and a top flight starter. And sign Crede.

fathom Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 08:05 PM) What the hell has Cotts shown you to make you want him in the rotation. His decent fastball, or his decent fastball? I personally think we should try and trade Cotts this offseason, and get a lot of value back for him.

His decent fastball, or his decent fastball? I think Cotts with a 93 fastball and getting the chance to work from the beginning of the game rather than at the end with runners on might be a better result. He was thought of as a starter originally anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Texas only needs to get through 1 more inning in Detroit..and their lead would remain at 5.5 .... like our game 1 matchup tomorrow (jose v. a very gased Verlander) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to think how bad it would have been over the past few weeks if it wasn't for some big time errors by the opposition. There's still some time before the waiver wire deadline KW!

elrockinMT Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 We now trail Santana 5-1. I don't have any faith in these hitters to figure out a decent approach to hit this guy. Yes, Santana owns us as has been stated before, but it's the approach to hitting with a guy like him that makes the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was over this game after that 4-run meltdown and started looking in over in the Detroit game. All we can do after the cinders of another Vazquez blowup cool off is to look ahead to the next game and try to get positive for that. I like our matchup in Detroit this week...
