southsider2k5 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2014 -> 09:02 PM) Yet Petricka and Webb have been asked to go long in games. Another thing is that by destroying your bullpen with these type of games, it could put unnecessary stress on the arms of other starters because they have to go longer due to a banged-up bullpen. Again, welcome to rebuilding. I'm not sure why people are surprised that this isn't easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Dumping Noesi or risking losing him is also silly if they think he's fixable. It's not like there's a long list of potential starters that are waiting in the wings in AA and AAA currently being blocked by his presence on the roster at the moment. If we're arguing that Dylan Axelrod gives us a better chance to win or rest the bullpen...that's not exactly going to be the most compelling argument in the world after how he looked the second half of 2014 when advanced scouting and hitters figured him out (just like they are likely to do with Carroll as well).

fathom Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 QUOTE (flavum @ May 3, 2014 -> 08:20 PM) Cubs series is looking like this: Mon- Quintana vs Samardzjia Tue- Noesi vs Jackson Wed- Wood vs Danks Thu- Arrieta vs Carroll Arrieta had great stuff today. Hopefully he struggles next week trying to rebound from his first start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Could be Noesi vs this guy on Sunday... http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=anders011cha (I miss the catch-all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You post interesting stuff all the time but then decide to inexplicably bury it in other threads. That said yeah that right there pprobably just belongs here.

elrockinMT Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I have watched both Noesi starts albeit over WGN. His first game was pretty decent over three innings. He blew up in the 4th which was not surprising considering he only pitched in relief and had been idle for a bit. Tuesday game versus the Cubs was different. He looked sharp. I am just as bad as anyone by complaining over picking up waiver guys but the Sox have had pretty decent success with that. I guess maybe it's time to trust the professionals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
