Yeah, given performance and contract, Livan Hernandez probably isn't going to command much. Even in a thin pitching market. The Nat's biggest chip is Soriano, so that is where they will reap a reward if someone bites. All that said, I don't want him on this team. Sure he can eat up some innings (along with everything on the buffet table), but he doesn't give quality innings, so who cares how many innings he can throw.

I think that he is a guy that responds to a challenge. He has a way of rising to the occasion unlike Clement who shrinks from a challenge.

[ORS]

You may be right. He could be worth the gamble (money not talent).

[Cocos Disciples]

Buck just called Beckett a thrower?

 

DOUBLE PLAY!

[Youk Of The Nation]

Man, did we need that.

[Cocos Disciples]

But actually, Buck is right on the fact that it isn't good to overthrow in pressure spots, but you can't complain with the results, Beckett has been pretty good in jams without looking at the stats.

[a700hitter]

Buck is a bigger idiot than McCarver. His only talent is nepotism.

Hey, watch it, youll offend the idiots of the world.

[Cocos Disciples]

Good inning, surprised there wasn't a player named Washington...meanwhile...the game is going on!

Anybody thinking about Sidney Ponson? I'm not really, but he would be a cheapy #5 with #5 material. Don't know about the drinking and such though.

[a700hitter]

Beckett's pitch count is still good.

Ponson is another guy that shrinks from a challenge. I'd rather have Clement.

[Cocos Disciples]

I really doubt Garland pitching from the bullpen on 2 day's rest.

I really doubt Garland pitching from the bullpen on 2 day's rest.

Why not? That's a regular throw day, and the break is coming up.

[Cocos Disciples]

That's a regular throw day? In a bullpen session, not a game, right?

[DUSTINMOHR4LIFE]

no way i would evven think about bringing Ponson in for the pennant race

[Cocos Disciples]

I stand corrected. In comes Garland.

[a700hitter]

PH for Belli.

well, here he comes

Yeah, it's a shortened BP session to keep the arm loose. Yeah, it's not the same as pitching in the game, but it's not uncommon with a few days of rest coming up.

[a700hitter]

well, here he comes

Pitching on throwing day before the All Star break is still fairly common. The Mets used to throw Seaver in relief before the Break every year.

[Cocos Disciples]

McCarver: When you're gonna hit something that hard, use your non-pitching hand.

 

Yeah, thanks Timmy.

[a700hitter]

Belli is an embarrassment as a hitter.

not right there he wasn't

[ORS]

Dougie, you just earned yourself a nice dish of chicken parm. Enjoy.

[RoyNHSox]

That was maybe one of Belli’s best AB’s this season.

[Cocos Disciples]

Belli!

[Youk Of The Nation]

Dougie!

[RedSoxRooter]

Belli is an embarrassment as a hitter.

 

How's that taste going down your throat?

[Youk Of The Nation]

Belli is an embarrassment as a hitter.

 

:dunno:

It worked... the reverse hex.
