Brian Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 QUOTE (DaveBrown85 @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 05:13 PM) Vazquez got his 2000 k today. Big deal for todays pitchers? It seems every big even number is a big deal to someone. 100, 500, etc... I like that it seemed like he didn't care and is taking care of business.

Big deal for todays pitchers? 62 guy in the history of baseball to do it... so yes, it is a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Shot at 3,000? He's only 32, and he's one of the most durable pitchers in baseball. If he averages around 150 K's (that's being very conservative) a year and stays healthy, he should get 3,000 before he's 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingandalongonetoleft Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I like how he's stepped up in Contreras' stead. I wonder why the both couldn't have pitched great ball at the same time, but I'll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 He's been excellent for the past month and a half, and he had to be. Let's hope he can keep it going til the end and in the playoffs if we make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Javy over his last 7 outings: 2.27 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 8.75 K/9, 1.86 BB/9, 0 HR, .540 OPS against. In his last 5 outings he's received, on average, 2 runs of support per game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenksycat Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 2000k's and a sub-500 record. Doesn't make sense at all. He needs to learn how to pitch in pressure games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked, we're in a pretty heated race for the central. At this point, all games have an impact, and to say these aren't "pressure" games is just ridiculous.
