Arm!

 

Abe Alverez is 5-0 in Pawtucket and sporting a nice 2.18 ERA. Beats DiNardo at this point. We need to make the call.

Just in case you missed it, Abe's line from last night's major league game against the Phillies (he was already called up):

Boston IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA

Alvarez, A 3.0 5 4 4 2 2 2 12.00

The call has been made. Both pitched yesterday against Philly.....

 

Lenny: 2 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 0 HR

Abe: 3 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 2 HR

 

Six of this, half dozen of the other.....

[monty]

how can anyone judge Alverez from that bullpenn appearence? There were factors that lead up to that appearence that would throw even the leagues better pitchers off.

[Dana Kiecker]

Hes right we should call up Abe... He got sent down today with Riske coming up,

 

Gotta hold on to Dinardo you know

[monty]

I like Riske... glad he is coming back. But why keep DInardo when he hold no value to this team? Hes not going to start for Boston anymore with d wells back an then his use out of the penn would be minimal at most. Seems like they should have gone with a guy they plan to use more, or atleast the next time they need a injury fill in... Abe Alverez.

[jsinger121]

Alvarez will not get the chance because he is an extreme flyball pitched that does not have pin point and that is a recipe for disaster in fenway park.

[monty]

Isnt Dinardo just as much as a fly ball pitcher then Abe is?

 

Junk ball pitchers usally are fly ball pitchers... and Dinardo is a junk ball pitcher.

[jsinger121]

Dinardo is a more of groundball pitcher.

[monty]

In his outing though in Boston... I seem to remember a higher Flyball ratio then grounders..

 

but that could all be moot since his brief MLB career is just that, brief..

[yeszir]

Hehe I want to edit the original post to say mouth instead of arm. Hehe I'm so funny. Hehe.

[monty]

that is funny lol

[TheKilo]

Isnt Dinardo just as much as a fly ball pitcher then Abe is?

 

Junk ball pitchers usally are fly ball pitchers... and Dinardo is a junk ball pitcher.

 

 

Definitely more of a GB pitcher.

[Don Orsillo]

Abe Alvarez is six foot two inches tall and weighs 190 pounds.

[CrespoBlows]

Someone has to add a God smiley.

[Goalstopper]

Abe will be in the majors this year. which is kind of obvious
