At least we don't have to deal with AJ's awful pitch calling in game 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 QUOTE (zenryan @ Aug 21, 2010 -> 09:36 PM) 50-53 now against AL teams. We're suppose to actually think this team can win an AL division?? Well in the encouraging side of things, Ozzie's NL style baseball would work in the NL. The fact that we are in the AL however is a bit of a worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't we just trade him to the Marlins for Gabby Sanchez? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 21, 2010 -> 09:17 PM) Sale tops out at 97-98. Gun is way off. My post was baseball stupid anyway, and I deleted it. I forgot, in the 101 mph pitch glory, that Sale has the Prior-Strasburg delivery, and I said that Strasburg was going to blow out his arm within the first 2 years of him starting, and by the accounts posted from member of WSI who watched the Nationals game, Strasburg was removed from the game after throwing a pitch holding his elbow in severe pain. If Sale really throws 100 mph, he'll blow out his elbow too. We might be better off using Sale as trade bait after he's proven he can get major league hitters out as a starter for half a season. IMO pitchers with that delivery are ticking time bombs. I'm not an orthopedic surgeon, but Prior and now Strasburg have proven that that delivery is just too stressful on a human shoulder and elbow. I saw 101 mph and logic flew out the window. Edited August 22, 2010 by Elgin Slim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we've seen it get destroyed all season. When he was going well during interleague play, he finally started using the 4-seamer/curve as his only pitches. Since he left for bereavement leave, he hasn't been the same with his pitch selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I know that -- but there's really no damn difference between running Santos out there with 2 out in the 7th or to start the 8th -- so might as well get Garcia OUT OF THERE!

His stuff has varied from outing to outing this season. That's the problem. His sinker was on tonight and he was unlucky to not get Aviles out. To blame Bobby is poor considering the 5-1 lead that was blown in the 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
