I like 4/5 of our rotation.  It'd be nice if we had a suitable replacement for Chico.

Exactly my point earlier.  He just makes guesswork out of every pitch.  In the rare event that he actually does display a modicum of pitch recognition in a count, he usually negates that work by completely misjudging pitches later in the count.

He guesses WAY too much for a ML player. Someone (LENNY!!) needs to teach him how to wait back and foul balls off that are close. That helps timing and contact. It's not like he could never hit.

I agree. They have actually been solid except for Chico.

Redding should be able to give us one more inning.

It's so great having a baseball team in a town where two suit and ties could signify some incredibly devious dealings going on.

Yep. Flopsy, Guz and Zim need to give him his chance to step off the mound.

I don't know about awesome but he's been solid as has Perez. And they have done it with different catchers behind the plate.

Yeah, you're right. I just say "awesome" because he gives us a chance to win in most of his games. Going into the season, I was expecting a lot of high scoring games. Anytime a pitcher only gives up 3 or 4 runs, I'm happy. Lower than that and I think it's awesome. :lol:

Good point. 6 innings and only 1 run is better than solid.

OT: Cory VanAllen pitches 7 shutout innings of 1 hit ball! His ERA is now 0.66. Potomac wins 1-0

I love Berg when he's "on", but despise him with the fire of 1000 suns when he's not.  I can't stand pitchers with no control.
