CWSOX45 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 MLB.com has Adkins starting tomorrow. It's Loaiza's turn isn't it? This can't be right, and if it is......why?! CWSOX45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clujer420 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 MLB.com has Adkins starting tomorrow. It's Loaiza's turn isn't it? This can't be right, and if it is......why?! CWSOX45 It is Loaiza's turn. Including today, it's been 4 days since his last start, and he should be starting tomorrow. If Adkins is starting in his place, Loaiza must be injured somehow. However, I was watching the game on KCAL 9, and the Angels announcers said that Loaiza is starting tomorrow -- but I would think the Sox official homepage would be more reliable, no?

Bmr31 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 CHeck the schedule. Jm may have pushed Elo back a game to line him up against the better teams left on the schedule, and thus avoiding the clev and det type of teams. Thats my best guess.

What doesn't make sense, though, is why Adkins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 It would either have to be Adkins or Wright, and I have the feeling he wants Danny available from the bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you clarified that before we lost one. I would have hated to have lost faith in you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 ESPN, Yahoo and CBS have Loaiza. The Sox site has Adkins, but it's run by MLB. I hope to God he isn't going to start Adkins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Brilliant move. Maybe E-lo could come in as a pitch hitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeportHeather Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 If it IS Adkins, the reason could possibly be that JM wants to have E-Lo start off the next series. The first game of every series is the most important, so he might want to use it as a momentum builder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bones Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 If it IS Adkins, the reason could possibly be that JM wants to have E-Lo start off the next series. The first game of every series is the most important, so he might want to use it as a momentum builder. or a momentum killer. Why is it that everytime we win the first 2 games of a series, we feel that we must concede a game? I'll be cheering for whoever's pitching, but i think getting a sweep would give us more momentum than losing tonight and winning tomorrow.

Carlo Paz Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Hey, we're talking about Jerry Manuel here. Maybe he decided to replace Loiza with Adkins for the rest of the season to bring some youthful enthusiasm to the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 i don't see any way you could justify starting adkins tonight -- unless Loaiza is injured or has a tired arm. and even if that is the case, you have to go with Wright, not a guy with zero major league starts. What has Adkins shown in his first two starts to suggest this is the right move? don't get it -- especially if Clemens beats Gobble this afternoon and a share of first is on the line tonight.

CubKilla Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 What has Adkins shown in his first two starts to suggest this is the right move? What did Cotts do in ZERO MLB starts to suggest that starting him last week was the right move? With KW GM'ing and JM managing, I don't put anything past this team. ANYTHING!

IlliniKrush Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Ya or maybe they'll use Loaiza out of the pen to close the game like some drunk broad suggested when she thought Steff was talking to the one and only Esteban Loaiza...a guy with an esteban loaiza all star jersey on in the bullpen sports bar MLB always has wrong starters, i never go there for projected starters or anything Oh and if you go to espn fantasy baseball, in out of the box it shows santana's line and says "best starter in the al central?" Sure, if you are on crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
