SoxFan1 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 QUOTE (lostfan @ May 16, 2008 -> 10:34 PM) If you were to guess it based off Soxtalk gameday posts you'd think it was in the low 6's and that he was a complete waste of money that we're stuck with now. He's generally been pretty damn effective. Of course he's had a couple bad outings but what pitcher doesn't? I know he's had a bad outing or 2, but you're right, reading the board I assumed he was in the 4's or so, nothing exceptional. When they showed a 1.85, I was shocked.

G&T Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 QUOTE (daa84 @ May 17, 2008 -> 12:35 AM) i honestly dont remember linebrink being criticized much at all on here...i think everyone has said hes done a pretty darn good job I'm actually going to trust that lostfan is right. I've seen a lot of odd things around here. Not that so much. But anything is possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 16, 2008 -> 10:35 PM) Linebrink has been soooo good. It's a nice feeling to have a go to guy in the setup role. It seems like 2 now with Dotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ May 16, 2008 -> 11:35 PM) I haven't seen many bad things posted about Linebrink at all since the season started. I keep getting him and Dotel confused. They look so much alike. But I'm still pretty sure I've seen Linebrink take some knee-jerk criticism here.

G&T Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 17, 2008 -> 12:36 AM) It seems like 2 now with Dotel. Dotel gives me the willies when he come in, but he has been effective. I hope this keeps up because the games are shortening up for the starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Dotel has taking a lot of s*** for his shaky start to the season, he's come on strong over the past few weeks though. I honestly can't remember a single bad thing being said about Linebrink. I remember a lot people being surprised by how good his stuff was, people who hadn't seem him pitch before assumed he was more of a smoke and mirrors type.

fathom Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 17, 2008 -> 04:38 AM) Paulie is jerking his head incredibly bad up there. There is no way he is saying the ball to the bat. It's cause he's cheating so much in order to avoid being jammed. He put some good passes on those outside fastballs. If we're not placing him on the DL, we just have to hope he finds a way to adjust.
