Cartman 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 Beckett sucks when he doesn't get his 11.5 runs a game support from the Boston offense.. Ok..maybe not suck..but he's losing 2-0 in the 6th and so far Adam Loewen is outpitching him. IM A HUGE JINX! YAY! How can anyone blame Beckett for not getting run support? 8 In. 2 ER is pretty solid if you ask me. Oh and Thanks Wily Mo Pena The past week WMP has been the local whipping boy by the Media and Talk Radio...tomorrow he's a god again. Love Boston! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'He's really throwing the ball well.' I don't blame him. He hasn't seen this for about 15 years or so. I'm watching the YES Network feed. I love listening to Al Leiter on commentary.

Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 I wonder if the sky is now falling for Yanks fans seeing as how their major pitching prospect got whooped. He pitched pretty well for his first major league start. The only guys who hit him hard were Wells and Rios. Other than that, he struck out 5 in 4 and 1/3, had a nasty curve, a pretty good changeup, and spotted his fastball well (only walked 1). He's looking good. EDIT: I love Al Leiter talking some sense into Michael Kay with some of the dumbass comments he makes. You know what i'm talking about if you listen to the broadcast.

KingPK 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 (edited) WMP hit a meatball that even highschool hitters would have driven quite a bit. Wily Mo should however be invited to a Home Run Derby competition one day. When he gets ahold of one it goes into orbit. "I'm pissed now, Jobu. Look, I go to you. I stick up for you. You no help me now, I say, fuck you, Jobu. I do it myself." If he was looking at the bat in that picture, he'd look EXACTLY like Cerrano did in that scene. And do only like 5-10% of Major League teams actually have a decent bullpen this year? Edited April 27, 2007 by KingPK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 The aggregate ERA for MLB so far this season is 4.11. The AL is at 4.31 and the NL at 3.94. That places offense at its lowest level since 1992. It's still early though and many games were played in unfavorable baseball conditions. Bullpen ERAs across baseball are at 3.78. These too are lower than last year.

We got enough bland homers on other broadcasts, apparently people want more. Who are we talking about here? Marty Brennaman went on a tirade (rightfully) about the atrocious fielding from Cincinnati and how the team hasn't shown a lick of improvement with fundamentals in spite of the persistance from the club that they would focus on it. Ended with "If they don't care, why should I?", this somehow pissed people off. How? I have no clue. Marty's always been candid and harsh when he feels its needed so this isn't the first time he's done this and he'll do it again and again but it's stupid that anyone can be bothered by his honest and accurate commentary here.

Guest Richard McBeef Report post Posted April 27, 2007 Go get 'em, Marty. The colorful tough-love homer is a dying breed, being replaced by white-bread company men like Joe Buck. Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall ripped the hell out of the White Sox (as Harry did with the Cards and Cubs as well) and lost their jobs as a result, as did Steve Stone with the Cubs. They're saying what we're thinking, and we as fans of our respective teams should applaud them for it, but more importantly, so should team owners and general managers.

Luckily, the new owners like him and won't work to drive him out and they have gone as far to make sure he gets the credit he deserves and when Marty finally hangs the hat, they've basically have his son whom doesn't appear to be much different (at least from what I've noticed since coming over to the Reds call). The pairing of Jeff Brantly and Marty is great. No Buckism going on there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 Eric Milton is working on the theory that if he gives up a bunch of runs right out of the gate, the bullpen can't blow it again.
