2.37 era in his last three starts. he's horrible.
-
Prove it. Haha, nothing in that statement needs to be proved. Defenders flat out despise slow pitchers and tend to not make as many great plays behind them. If this is "definitely" true it will be rather easily proved. Is that the only response you can ever come up with, "prove it"? How about this...how about you prove to me that it isn't true, then we can talk. prove to me that unicorns don't exist.

I think it says guys don't like playing behind Rich. He is slow, throws lots of pitches and really doesn't get the defense involved (Lots of K's and flyballs). Whoa whoa whoa I'm not saying anything like that, I'm just saying it might affect Rich a little pyschologically. He plays his heart out and the bats never seem to pay him any favors. I know what you're saying. And I'm saying that maybe if he pitched a little faster (lower pitch counts, quicker innings) that the bats might pick him up more often. good ol' nsbb...you never know what wacky statement you're going to read.

i'm not liking hill's chances against the phils. prove me wrong, wuss.

is santo calling barry williams greg?
-
This is so ludicrous. He's given up seeing eye ground balls. I guess the haters will hate no matter what. when you don't strike anyone out (and walk people), all those ground balls are going to find holes.
-
Jones has been on fire vs. right handed pitching, and floyd will hurt himself again soon. The only one on that list that really is maddening is Kendall. Especially with Soto tearing it up. A .696 OPS since the All Star Break is on fire now? I understand hes been better, but it would have been really hard to play worse He has a .649 OPS against RH pitchers this season. Again, not really on fire. He's had a decent 2-week stretch, but he still was putting up a sub .800 OPS during that time period. and during his decent two week stretch most of his hits were 16 hop rollers that found holes. he looks like the same hitter he was in may.

i love that too!

Soriano, Jones, Floyd isn't that bad on paper if you look at their last healthy seasons. jones last healthy season is the current one, and he's been terrible.

Dotel to the Braves?

No, we have a good GM. His name is Jim Hendry. A bad GM would have traded Marshall or Hill for a relief pitcher with a history of arm injuries. so because hendry didn't make some horrible, made up trade that he was never offered he's a good gm by default? -
simple baseball logic...classic.
-
he overthrew the cut-off man once. on a basehit to right he also sort of hesitated before throwing the ball, but made a good throw and nothing bad came of it. wow, i wish he were dead.

Phillies Acquire Kyle Lohse

that myers to the bullpen move has paid off BIG TIME. -
Soriano did the same thing we sending him to AAA? maybe just a slight difference in talent level.
-
Better say the same for Soriano too i think it's pretty well known that soriano isn't the brightest of players. he just has more talent.

Hancock Family Drops Wrongful Death Suit

TURNS OUT FILING A LAWSUIT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE GOING TO GET A BILLION DOLLARS AFTER ALL! OH MY GOODNESS, ALL THAT WHINING FOR NOTHING! -
guys who pitch 2-3 innings a week are not invaluable. position players who get 30 ab's a week can be. everyone overemphasizes the importance of good middle relief because the losses bad middle relief cost you stick out in your memory. for example, the cubs would have still won these last two games w/ a mediocre pen. that being said, i wouldn't trade marmol for dye.
-
and billingsley. all he had to do was score like 5 points and it would likely have been over.

Holy cow, you are the King of Hyperbole lately. I think the reason it doesn't seem like the Brewers are choking is that they do not have much credibility or history of winning. If the Yanks had been up 8 games and lost the lead it would be a choke. Same for the Red Sox, Braves, Mets, etc. But when the Brewers do it they are just regressing back to where they should be (at least that is the perception). but it was an 8 game lead in june. teams make up that kind of deficit all the time, i would guess. and sorry i said everyone. i should have counted how many people said it and rephrased what i said as "don't know why 47 people out of 68 are making this out to be about the brewers choking it away." I dunno about that. Anyone know where we can find out? i mean, they made up 8 games in 32 games or something. that's not that like end of the world remarkable or anything.
-
fat ass joe west. if i lose by four points i'm gonna be pissed.
-
why give the pitching team the benefit of the doubt when it's their fans reaching over?
-
i really thought he was going to bounce back this year. still hits lefties pretty well.

are you kidding? if the front office did bring up pie because they thought it'd make soriano play better, i'd be really pissed. why, do you not like pie? i like him fine, but bringing him up because you think he's going to somehow make soriano hit better is pretty ridiculous. if our gm really believed in stuff like that, i'd be real concerned. why is it such a bad idea to bring him up because of the way he affects the team's chemistry (apparently) because i don't believe in that stuff. i'm not saying i'd complain if he came up...he'd probably be better than jones...but the reason i'd want him up is for his actual production, not for the superfriend power he'd bring.
-
i don't know why everyone is making this out to be about the brewers choking it away. they were up just 8 1/2 games in june. it's not like they were up 14 games on sept 1 and then went on to lose like 15 of 16 or something. aren't they around .500 since the cubs went on their crazy tear?
