He's been figured out. Now he needs to adjust. Or get better. He did fine today, and came in with a 2.35 ERA. DeRosa booted a routine ground ball... nothing is wrong with him. You must really love Samardzija
wth?? Yeah, gotta make a man out of him at some point. They've been very strict on his pitch counts all season at 90 or so and then they let him go 115 2 weeks before the playoffs? Especially after his recent discomfort...I don't get it.
Eh, if he's been pitching with it since August I'd expect him to finish the season. He's not going to want to have his season cut short right before he hits free agency.
It's annoying how everybody is jumping on the Ryan Howard bandwagon just because he has pretty home run and RBI numbers. He's a first baseman with an OPS in the .800's. Give me a break.
At this point, I'm almost not worried about them making the playoffs; I just want them to get it done and out of the way. You're only "almost" not worried? You really think there's a chance they miss the playoffs?
