  1. We have two starters like we did last August. The other three are crapshoots at best. It's ridiculous to be getting blown out by KC. It shows why Wakefield cannot be a playoff pitcher.
  2. I never said that pitchers with declining k ratios would get better with age. I don't think it is necessarily a precursor of ineffectiveness. Many pitchers have had declining k rates and remained highly effective for a number of years. A few would be Tiant, Catfish Hunter, Palmer, Seaver, Sutton, Rick Reuschel. Also, you are pointing to half of a year as a trend in decreased k ratio and whip. Half of a year is hardly a trend.
  3. Youk with warning track power.
  4. ...or maybe the his drugged up mind couldn't figure out how to adjust to less k's.
  5. Many pitchers experience a decline in K ratios as they learn to pitch and get batters out without expending as much energy as they did when they were younger. It's not a very reliable indicator of declining effectiveness.
  6. ...or maybe he just isn't breaking his ass in the first year of a long term contract for a team with no playoff shot. Half of a season is not a trend of decline.
  7. He's not yet 30 and he's been a stud for a while. Let's not forget that he plays for a horseshit team this year and in a bandbox. This guy is what we could only dream Bucholz wil become.
  8. It would be worth it. Oswalt is signed long term.
  9. He might get us a quality rental.
  10. They have been whacking Proctor around but to the deep parts of the park, but he gets Stairs out.
  11. Nice game by the kid, but I hope the FO doesn't get a false sense of security and think they don't need another arm. The KC Royals had a 21 yr old batting cleanup tonight. They could be shutout hitting off a tee.
  12. Upton just butchered a single into a double to leadoff the Yankees 8th inning. Geesh!
  13. Over the last 21 days, Youk is batting .265.
  14. Sometimes it's better to be luck than to be good.
  15. B.J. Upton is single-handedly saving Moose's afternnon.
  16. Automatic out Mirabelli with a 3-1 count
  17. Moose just hit the 70 pitch mark.
