Bubba Philips Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Linebrink was excellent in April, era 1.13, in may, 2.79 ...in June he did a little better at 2.38, july still not too bad at 3.68 but in August already his era is 10.00. He scared me in spring training and now he is not getting anything done and we owe him a bunch of money for 2010. Is he hurt does he need a rehab why has he gotten so unreliable.

Chisoxfn Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 He's healthy and you can tell. Fastball velocity is in the 93-95 MPH range but the problem is guys are sitting on it because he's never throwing the splitter or anything else other than the fastball for strikes (or at all).

GoSox05 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 His breaking stuff is not even close to getting over. It's a shame cause he has got some good pop on the fastball this year, but it's going to waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanne Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Last night the AB for Bay that he went long on...Linebrink threw two of THE WORST floating, rolling get-me-over breaking balls. So what friggin AJ call for?...another one (that Bay hit about 2 miles). Geez-us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
