Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 27, 2007 -> 09:28 PM) You can admit two things though. 1.) Pitching was a bigger reason why we won in 2005. 2.)Pods was ass in the second half (only to hit out of his mind in the postseason -- he'll always be loved for that). Did his .337/.386/.790 September not happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 27, 2007 -> 09:29 PM) Good grief....why are we throwing fastballs to Vlad with a slider pitcher? Now we have Sisco in to face Anderson. It would be nice to have Joe Borowski. He blew the game against the Yankees with a 4 run lead, but he's been nails in all of his other games this season. And he doesn't throw 93-97, so it would be a totally different look for opposing batters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitching was a bigger reason why we won in 2005. 2.)Pods was ass in the second half (only to hit out of his mind in the postseason -- he'll always be loved for that). 1. You know I'm all about pitching, pitching is what wins in baseball, OF COURSE it was more important than Pods or the offense or whatever you want to say, that's obvious and I'd never ever say otherwise. 2. Once again, he was bad in the 2nd half in 05 but I will also say that this team has been much better with him in the lineup than with out him in his time here. You know unlike you and a lot of others that I actually like "prototype" leadoff hitters and Pods was that guy for a good deal of 05. Now, I'm sure by now that everyone knows that I don't think Pods is the answer but the guy was huge in 05. I still think a kind of underrated moment of the whole 05 postseason was just Pods getting on base to start off the whole thing. Clement threw over like a billion times and next thing you know, he completely imploded, that was a pretty big thing imo considering how for the most part that team was inexperienced in the post season.

Good job Sisco, let's hope the confidence in our bullpen keeps growing. Thornton's picked it up a little, but he lost some control with his FB 1 MPH off his normal 97.
