Baseball can be a funny game.

 

Last night against Johan Santana, the Cards scored 5 in 8 innings, then put up two against K-Rod in the ninth. (Not to mention the 5 in the 10th against the Mets so-called bullpen)

 

Today against Jon Niese, Nelson Figueroa & Bobby Parnell, they are getting shut out after 8 innings.

Gonzalez is 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA in 18 2/3 innings over a three-start stretch against the Yankees, Red Sox and now, the Rangers.

 

But hey, Swisher was a fun guy to have around for a year!

 

EDIT: and did i mention he's only 23?

How about you post the rest of his stats on the year?

why? They're s***. That's not the point. He appears to have turned a corner in his very, very young career. Could be a blip but probably not, probably a sign of things to come.

 

Danny Wright had two good starts in his career as well.

Exactly. I'll wait until he's doing well more often to consider trading him a bad move.

You're basing this off a 3 game sample size, this is a very bad idea.

Sutcliffe is a terrible announcer. Tonight on the Red Sox/Rays game when talking about David Ortiz he said "he hopes and prays" (exact quote) that it's not true, then goes on to say how he believes him and wouldn't be shocked if it's MetRx or a "vitamin". He then went on to rip Manny saying what a horrible teammate he was for the Red Sox. Finally Dan Shulman chimes in and says "his last year with Boston" because Sutcliffe was completely ignoring Manny's prime role on the WS teams.

Just wondering...Kerry Wood. How does a closer with a 4.97 ERA have even as many as 15 Saves? It's boggling my mind.

Basically that's what pitching a small number of innings every year will do for you. A couple really bad outings and your ERA never recovers.
