    An adjustment to his pitching form.So then he can get his mechanics out of whack and injure something else compensating for the shoulder.
  2. Monco
    Hill is the only one who has pitched at the AAA or major league level.Theres still time for him to get it together.With Wellemeyer out of options I'm suprised hes not been mentioned by the Cubs.He hasn't been traded yet and there might not be room.
  3. Monco
    Does anybody really believe in 7-10 days he'll be back throwing and everything will be fine?
  4. Monco
    what?
  5. Monco
    That last swing of Big Choi reminded me of when he was with the Cubs.
  6. Monco
    All these guys I never heard of playing great ball.Then they bring in the pitcher with the most major league experience and he gets shelled LOL.
  7. Monco
    well,time to get it back.
  8. Monco
    They make a big deal about hitters gaining power juicing but there seems to be a ton of pitchers throwing 95.

    Possible Headline: Kim gives happy ending

    San Diego

    The ball does not carry to center.The other day Utley hit one there.After he hit it ,he dropped his bat like Bonds and watched it.He thought he got it.Centerfielder caught it at the wall.

    Good game,Ichiro 2 steals.Thats a nice looking park.

    Everyone talks about hitters but few mention pitchers.

    Rusch #2

    Monco posted a topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    says here Rusch is penciled in as the #2 starter.Guess he became Dustys boy after saving us in 2004. http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060318&content_id=1354485&vkey=spt2006news&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc

    Damn right!The MLB season matters more ,this tournament doesn't matter etc.Excuses.Thats probably the attitude the players took.Thats why I'll be watching Japan play in about 5 minutes.They thought they were so far superior that they could play themselves into shape while winning it all.Its obvious who wanted it more.
  16. Monco
    Thats because they feel Tejada is one of the 3 best players in the game.Who needs Abreu when we got 3 years of Jacque Jones.
  17. Monco
    His W-L record isn't really the issue. At all. or any pitcher for that matter. BTW dont dismiss record completely it does factor in, it is the ultimate measure of success. I know it isnt something the pitcher has complete control over, but in the end it doesnt matter if you had 200 plus strikeouts and a great ERA, if you didnt win games you werent a success. Also when you look at the numbers it is a strong indicator of success in wins, if you have the above stats then you most likely will have a good record, but it doesnt guarentee it. A W is all that matters at the end of the day. I may very well be wrong, but thats just how I feel :D Thanks for defending yourself. I've never seen a bad pitcher win games consistantly. It's only one stat, but one that gets dismissed to often by stat boys. Win totals on very good teams can get inflated though.It can make an average picture look great.
  18. Monco
    Or maybe thats why Prior for Tejada wasn't enough.
  19. Monco
    The problem is the media makes this out to be the best determining factor of a pitcher. They are the ones at fault. Thats their opinion.We never said they were right.Its an easy to understand stat for them to present to the average person.Players and owners use the stat in salary negotiations though.Both sides.
  20. Monco
    W-L record is one stat.There are many.People need to quite being so defensive when people mention it.Its not the best stat ,but its one. ERA is another.We can debate all of them as for being the best ,but why?Making an argument against signing Burnett is not that difficult now.Only time will tell for sure though.
  21. Monco
    Clement who I was thinking of.Wish he was back.Hated to see him go.
  22. Monco
    If he trades for another starter it better be a 2 or a 3.Because right now Maddux is not a 2,Williams has to prove hes a 3 and Rusch is not a 4.
  23. Monco
    Dusty mentioned 4 guys for the 5th spot,Guzman,Hill,Ryu,and Marshall.Probably woulnd't pitch up here till the 15th.
  24. Monco
    You have 4 starters now.Hill,Guzman,Koronka,Wellemeyer. as a 5.Hill is 26 years old and we won't trade him but he can't step in as a 5 yet?I think if they trade for a starter to add to this they feel Prior will not go all year. Please dont mention Koronka in that conversation :D I think you should add Ryu to the list. Didn't really want to mention Koronka but I'm not the one who called him up and let him start games.
