3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Figured the trade was fresh enough to post this as Sox material (do some work and move if not ) Doing well through 4. NL and Petco, could make him look pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Psst, go check the box score. I wish Richard and the prospects we sent SD nothing but the best, but just don't make history Clayton. Then we'll get all this crap the next few days about how we gave up too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I wish him the best as well. I like the guy. He has a lot of moxie and love his quick pitching pace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RME JICO Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 He has looked great since the ASB, and PETCO will only make him better. I hope he pitches well and beats the Cubs every chance he gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 At the same time, he is going to run into his usual problem - pitch count. Guy has a 1 hitter through 5 innings, and yet, he has thrown 81 pitches already. That was always my problem with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockren Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I live in the Milwaukee area and have watched the whole game. He's thrown his change twice. All fastballs/curve....looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 CR pitched really well tonight. Going to have a no decision, but still a pretty impressive debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Solid outing. Didn't see the 6th, but maybe a little quick hook (pitch count at 90, guess they want to be careful with him, though I'd just let him finish the inning, especially with the possibly of the pitcher's spot coming up in the bottom inning, which did happen) and reliever costs him the win. 5.2 IP, 2 hits, 1 run, 3 walks, 5 K's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsgdf_2 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 0-2 at the dish. Would have been cooler if he went 2-2 with a double or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Master Buehrle Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 0-2 at the dish. Would have been cooler if he went 2-2 with a double or something. He did have some pretty good cuts at the dish. He smoked one for his 2nd out. I think he'll collect a few hits over there in the NL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 He's a good prospect. How old is he, anyway? With Buehrle as his mentor, he might have done big things in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) Buehrle seems a little miffed about him being gone. Hopefully it doesn't create any tensions between Mark and Peavy. Edited August 2, 2009 by StrangeSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 And the 6-foot-5, 240-pound Richard, 25, topped out at 94-95 mph with his fastball while keeping the Brewers off balance with a 82-mph change. “I like the tempo,” Black said. “He worked fast and threw a good game. That was a pretty solid outing for a guy who flew into San Diego this morning.” After learning of the trade yesterday, Richard drove to his home in Lafayette, Ind., last night and then traveled to Indianapolis yesterday morning to catch a flight to San Diego. Over his past three starts, including two with the White Sox, Richard has allowed three runs over 21 2/3 innings. Like Latos three nights earlier in Cincinnati, Richard retired the first 10 hitters he faced and didn't give up a hit until former Padre Mike Cameron lined a double over Gwynn's head in the fifth. “He did a fantastic job,” Gwynn said of Richard. “That's one of the top three offenses in baseball and he held them to two hits.” San Diego Union Tribune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaTank Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 To Clayton Richard, My man crush on you will never end, even if your tenure on the Southside has. 5.2 IP, 2 H, 1 ER (HR to Fielder), 5 K in his first start with the Pads. Not too shabby, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Meh. I like Jake Peavy better. Clayton was mediocre and streaky, but pitching in the NL with a majority of your starts in Petco, he could do well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103 mph screwball Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I liked his style and hope he succeeds. I'll always root for him whenever the Sox are not playing against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
