LittleHurt05 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 6, 2010 -> 02:33 PM) Cliff Lee is a post season beast. Does he ever pitch poorly when it counts?

Floyd's final 16 starts of 2008 - 7-4, 4.53 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 6.7 K/9, 2.4 K/BB He won some games, but that was because he was bailed out by the offense, not because he was pitching particularly well.

I still feel like he was the only one who won a bloody game the entire stretch run in 08. He won almost half of his starts. He kept the team in the game and was a solid #3 starter. I remember that too, and I remember going back and looking at the numbers about a year ago and seeing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 12:02 PM) Holy s***. Desmond Jennings getting the start in RF? Joe Maddon is a strange cat. Wow. They have a lot of lefties, so I guess he wanted another right handed bat vs. Wilson instead of Pena/Brignac. Still doesn't top the Baldelli decision though IMO. Lucky for Maddon, his "fatigue" creeped up again, so Aybar could take his spot on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) And I know this wasn't an awful start but can we stop pretending James Shields is an elite pitcher. Not talking about anyone here but on ESPN and such. He is nothing more than average. Matt Garza hasn't pitched since last Thursday and would of rather had him go today after losing Game 1.

That's not comparable to me saying the Reds will probably lose but not from lack of talent. The Phillies are just f***ing better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
