Well the IP number isn't going to be very high when you have to repeatedly get yanked in the 2nd or 3rd inning but it was for 5 games. And I was saying that I think they have to go another route if he tanks again today. Who do you go with? I dunno. Another #5 guy on waivers? We can't keep blowing out our pen when he starts.

I think you've got to be more patient than that with him. He's given us a lot of quality starts this year. If you yank him now, there is no turning back. Unless you're seeing an option that presents a significant opportunity for improvement, I think it would be a mistake to pull the plug at this point. Granted, he can't be getting blown up in the second inning 2 out of every 5 starts, but he does have 3 quality starts among the 5 you're referencing. That is pretty much what you hope for out of your 5th starter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way Minnesota has now put together a solid 1-5 we can't afford to to battle for these last 6 weeks with a man short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But should he have a bad outing, I disagree. I don't think there is reason to panic, especially considering how well Edwin has pitched for us.

ILMOU Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 07:05 AM) Nope, the downfall has begun. I don't think a downfall has begun, but I don't think it's our year either. Too many losses that should have been W's already at this point in the season - not enough late inning comeback magic to counteract the bad losses. Just feels like a second place team, sadly. Hope I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might well just be too late to find anyone better on the waiver wire market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretchstretch Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 we seem to be back to that place where we have great names on paper, but the production is not there from the needed guys at the right times. The amount of times AJ and Rios have come up in particular in the past two weeks with RISP and done nothing. The teams overall LOB has been catastrophic the past two weeks and to go from 1.5 up to 2 down so quickly, while playing bad times, and MN now unable to do anything wrong (winning 4-2 while being outhit 14-4 against OAK!!), doesn't look good unless they find some offensive consistency, MN will end up running away with this division, next weeks series could be a season determiner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 We have to - have to - have to win this game and the upcoming series in minnisota. Let's go mother f***ers!!!! Show some balls!!!! The two most important people IMO are Carlos Q and JJ Putz. If Q can get going on a hot streak and JJ could pitch another 20ip of scoreless ball - we could be in very good shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
