    From Lee's quote it seems like it goes beyond just losing vision in her eye, it seems like he's scared for her life. I hope everything's ok.

    Hand and elbow are too low, ball facing forward, body is ahead of arm. After just noticing those things, I could tell you that he will land on stiff front leg, and will over-stride or land on his heel. I just notcied that he is not using his hips enough. Which puts stress on the pitching arm. So I was right, cool. I haven't pitched in 6 years. What do you think about Sheets in 2004? Sheets in 04 was one of the better pitchers in the league. He played on a poor Brewers team, which caused his w-l record to be worse than it should of been. I already said there are the exceptions when using wins to judge a pitcher. But, I also said pitchers like Zambrano, Capuano, Johnson had alot of wins on poor teams. Which indicates how good they are by their pitching record. Their whip, k rate, and era are even better indicators. A better pitcher will more likely get more wins, but those other stats correlate MUCH higher to a pitcher's true ability.

Which puts stress on the pitching arm. So, are you saying that you know more about pitching than Ben Sheets? Sheets knows more about how to pitch to batters than I do. Im sure Sheets knows what he is doing wrong. It is really hard though to change a pitchers mechanics. Specially considering Sheets has been pitching that way his whole life. Im pretty educated on the pitching side. So for you guys who think im just a pitcher who knows how to throw a curveball, and dosent know anything about pitching, you are false. No one said you don't know anything about pitching. You probably know more about the actual art of pitching than 90% of posters. No one is denying that. But most people here have a better grasp of what pitching statistics are important and show the true value of a pitcher. Sorry. Just because someone has baseball talent does not necessarily mean they are a better judge of a player's ability.

    since anyone can look at a stat book, someone who went 15-8 must have had an era below 5, a whip below 1.60, and had a baa less than .290, right? especially since he pitched over 200 innings.

    buckeyes look awful so far

    And, believe it or not, Vance has watched pitchers play! And even though he was never a mediocre high school baseball player, he still has an ability to look at a pitcher and see what his stuff looks like, if his mechanics are good, what the batters look like while facing them, how much fortitude the pitcher has, how the defense is relaxed while playing behind him, and all that jazz! Anyone can watch a pitcher and see if he's good or not!

    pods puts the ball in play, puts pressure on the defense, makes things happen, does the little things, and is a great clubhouse guy. he's everything juan pierre was supposed to be! let's try the experiment again.

    And thats YOUR opinion. I disagree with that. Is that ok? If you want to be wrong, sure. Im not wrong, and you're not right either. Depends on how a person judges a pitcher. I judge a pitcher by Wins, IP, BAA, WHIP, and the number of starts(30-35). And I'll take Pitching Runs Created along with date of birth, height, weight, and eye color and would still have a better idea who was the better pitcher. I know more about pitching than you do. So I highly doubt you could judge a pitcher better than me. Maybe actually watching a pitcher pitch, you might be able to discern more info about him than Vance. Maybe. But looking at a statbook and seeing who's a better pitcher, my money is on Vance. All of my money, for that matter.

    Dunn played the last season with a broken right hand. http://www.daytondailynews.com/sports/content/sports/reds/daily/0128reds.html Don't know about this year though.

    Juan should be nowhere near this team next year, if we actually care about a productive lineup. you are right. it would be impossible for a team with pierre leading off to get to the playoffs or world series let alone win them. when juan pierre was good it might have been possible.
