  1. And Samardzija is done after 3 innings :?
  2. Only 1 of the runs was earned. It doesn't sound like he's getting rocked, but his control has definitely been shaky. Daytona's defense always seems to take the day off when he's pitching too.
  3. So you don't think he's injured? The frequent dropping of the arm seems to paint a picture of someone trying to avoid hurting an already injured shoulder. While I believe he has to be hurt as well, I also think he's just developed some bad habits. It's not like he set the world on fire in the 2nd half of last year as well. But his decrease in velocity is definitely a reason to worry. He's not getting any movement on his pitches at all. There's something definitely wrong with him.
  4. Gives me time to study, so I don't mind it. As long as we win, I don't care what time the game starts at.
  5. Probably will. Lefty Cole Hamels pitching, and it's not like we have anyone on the team who can play over him against a lefty. Oh boy. I'm predicting Hamels will have a 15+ strikeout game against us.
  6. Yes, let's make Torres look like Mariano Rivera.
  7. The ump's calling outside pitches for strikes for Maholm, and that's not helping matters. Yeah, that 1-1 pitch was definitely a ball. Ump must really want this game to end.
  8. Jock as the first guy off the bench. Laughable.
  9. 3 good pitchers. I definitely wouldn't call any of them HOF pitchers. I think Wood and Prior definitely had HOF potential. I don't think Zambrano was ever that good. I'll agree with Wood and Prior on potential. But even if they were healthy, they sure weren't locks.
  10. I agree that he's a headcase. But his stuff has just not been as effective as it usually is. Unless he aged 10 years in the offseason, there's no reason why he should be getting rocked by the likes of the Nationals and the Pirates. All of his pitches are ending up belt-high and crushable for every hitter he faces. When he's at his best, his 2-seamer is working and his slider is flat out filthy. I have yet to see any of that this year.
  11. It makes the pitcher's job much easier when a 3-run lead is handed to you before you even step on the mound.
  12. 3 good pitchers. I definitely wouldn't call any of them HOF pitchers.
  13. For a minute there, I thought we were the only team that could hit into DP's.
  14. 4 pitch walk. Please schedule an MRI for Z right after this game. Thanks.
