Ronny looks like he's been a complete disaster.

I'm not so sure. His walk numbers are improving.

CaliforniaRaisin · December 4, 2006

No games today.

December 4, 2006

I've said it before but it warrants repeating...

This is going to be Guzman's break through year.

the problem is jim hendry seems to be making sure guzman doesnt have a rotation spot.

so we're going to have to pray for the inevitable injuries to Prior/Miller and I guess Lilly now. Even though the results weren't there it wasnt hard to see how far his changeup progressed over the course of the season trying to get it back to the dominant pitch it was in 03.

Mephistopheles · December 10, 2006

hmm injury related? he allowed a homer in the first and then two hits to lead off the second and removed him? Maybe he was on a pitch count, but I find that highly unlikely considering he didnt walk anyone and only struck out one and he pitched four innings or so last time iirc.

CaliforniaRaisin · December 10, 2006

Looked around and didn't find anything about it. They do have quick hooks in Venezuela and the Dominican and Angel had given up two XBHs.

I find it slightly humorous that the scrappy Ronny Cedeno is 0 for 3 in SB attempts, but the bulky Henry Blanco is 2 for 3 in SB attempts
