fathom Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 That should be it for Jose. Thankfully he was able to get out of jams and keep us in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 08:42 PM) Way to get out of it. I hope that's the end of Jose tonight. He's got at least an inning left in him and is improving each inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Jose is done for the night for sure. He's up around 90 pitches. I guess you have to be pleased with 4 runs in 5 innings of work considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 08:36 PM) It's nuts how much he's slowed down, and how fast. it's like 30 degrees outside, someone who's already slow is gonna be even slower in weather like that he'll probably pick up a few steps once the weather changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 08:40 PM) It's weird how little Contreras is throwing his forkball. That's the pitch he's made all of his money due to. Probably should pull him now and let him go out with a decent frame of mind. To throw a good forkball you need to get over the top on it, and drive down to get that tumble action. With the amount he is dropping down, I don't know if he could keep it down.

He seemed to get a good feel for his slider towards the end. He's going to have to start throwing that cutter to lefties though, as they were all over his fastball.

scenario Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 08:42 PM) Delmon Young to Minnesota is what Alexei Ramirez is for us. You're being kind to Delmon.

SoxFan1 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 08:41 PM) HA! If anything he has too much movement. He's given up 2 good runs tonight, the ump gave the twins a gift run. Jose is a much better pitcher than Richard, Clayton should stay in the pen where he belongs. I just tuned in, can you elaborate on how the ump f***ed up? What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to have to start throwing that cutter to lefties though, as they were all over his fastball. One more outing or two and he'll be back. I was impressed by him tonight. Started out with no command, gutted it out and battled. There was maybe 2 hard hits by the Twins all game so far, he's been nickel and dimed to death not to mention the umps gave them a gift run.

Wanne Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Not sure if I'm in the minority here...but I'm happy with Jose's outing except for one stupid pitch to Crede (and the dumbass call of pulling in the infield). Jesus...the dude blew out his achilles and wasn't expected back til when...June or July? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus...the dude blew out his achilles and wasn't expected back til when...June or July? You arent. People are just frustrated that we are losing. He pitched pretty well for his first real start since completely tearing his achilles then getting back on the field 3 months early in 30 degree weather. He got his feel back gradually, and without his best out pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because his power hasn't completely developed yet? He hit .290 and had a .336 OBP. Similar numbers to Alexei. And I meant in regards to their plate discipline anyhow.

He got his feel back gradually, and without his best out pitch. His performance was fine. If you think about it, he is still a bit behind. His command should come over the next few starts, and then you can evaulate what you have. He is our 4th starter, and not the top of the rotation guy that we used to have in him. People need to adjust their expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
