Send Billy Botch to the woodshed because his days as closer are over....

 

:cheers  :cheers  :cheers

Not a chance my friend...JR doesn't pay someone $5 mil to be a mop up pitcher...He'll be closing again by mid August.

Maybe for another team

Again, no one is gonna take Koch in a trade, and like I mentioned, JR doesnt pay 5 mil for just another bullpen arm. Gordon will unfortunately blow one sometime soon, then everyone will be jumping off the Gordon bandwagon. His numbers themselves say he has blown 4 out of 9 opportunities. Koch has blown 4 out of 15. Tell me again how those numbers say Gordon is better? Right now, yes, he is throwing better. BUt it won't last all season. ANd then, Koch will step in.

I am...I am positive that Koch will be closing in August sometime. And I'm not saying thats a bad thing, hell I like the guy. I'm not trying to be grim, just honest. I'll have no problem with Koch in there as closer, cause hopefully Coop can figure out what the problem is, he's been outstanding with our other pitchers.

All right then..... I'll say it. Letting Botch close games in late August..... especially if this team is making a move, would be the worst possible thing this Organization could do. What if Gordon is dominating as a closer? JR and KW dumbasses signed that waste of BP space during the offseason before he threw one pitch in a White Sox uniform. They both deserve what they got/will get..... especially if you bring Botch in to close with anything less than a 4 run lead. He sucks. If he don't throw one more pitch in a White Sox uniform this season, you won't hear a peep out of me.

Jesus f***ing Christ people.....you get rid of one scapegoat in Jimenez, and I guess you all have to find someone to lay all the problems on afterwards. Koch was WAY overused in hus MLB past. He isnt gonna admit it, what pitcher looking to get paid would? The trade on paper was in favor of us, we get a great lefty prospect pitcher, AND a Top-Notch closer when he is on. Little did any of us know that his velocity was way off from what it normally was. You can't just look past what the guy has done in his career. People b****ed when we had Roberto, b****ed and whined when we had Foulke, and now piss and moan about Koch. Let Coop figure it out, NO CLOSER IS GONNA BE PERFECT. Something is wrong with Koch, be it overuse in the past, or injujry...but when he is on, he is one of the best.

I agree...that falls squarely on scouting, and KDub.....yet Koch is getting all the heat here

what was his opening speech when they first introduce him to the press, what has he accomplished? how many games did he blew?
