So will blanton be sent down / released?

[bloodbrother]

Richards, as bad as he is would be an improvement

 

Yeah, he hasn't been great either but he's young and needs more innings to hopefully improve. Blanton wa brought here as a stopgap anyway, but he just completely sucks at it

Guy's got a legit shot at chasing down 20 this year. I might consider going to a 4-man after the break.

 

 

20?  30!!!!  Losses that is.  

 

After 1950, no pitcher has lost more than 24 games in a season.  Jack Fisher 1965 lost 24.  In 1935 Jim Cantwell lost 25.  In In 1933 Paul Derringer lost 27.  In 1905 Vic Willis lost 29.  And in 1899 Jim Hughey lost 30.  

 

This is a once in a century opportunity here.  Like watching Haley's Comet.

i dont think you can blame blanton.

i felt like he threw the ball good last night.

the problem is when they made contact it found holes. 

things like broken bat singles falling in, infield singles, bunt just finding their way down the line.

to be honest it just seemed like one of those weird games that could have gone either way.

i felt like he had good stuff, but when they made contact, it found holes.

not a lot you can do about that.

B. Butler doesn't want him released.  He was 5 for 5 last night.

[Earnest Borgnine of 9]

I'm glad you fellas can find humor in just how bad our starting pitching is. I can't enjoy it like you do.

[Willy J.]

Want a real chuckle? Go look at Enright's career numbers.

 

 

:sigh:

I want to fire the secretary that included the typo of two years at 6.5 each. 

 

One year to get you by.... Okay I guess - still an overpriced crap signing.. .  BUT TWO YEARS?????

[bloodbrother]

I would definitely do Blantons job for 15M. I can go 0-7 in 8 starts. I REALLY REALLY CAN!

 

I can do better than that. I would be 0-8

[shellback]

exile him to the bullpen. he can't do any worse than whats there and the competition might do richards and williams good.
