QUOTE (greg775 @ May 30, 2010 -> 08:00 PM) If you guys think Peavy should not have come out for that inning considering who he is and how highly paid he is and what his pitch count was ... we'll have to agree to disagree. Be honest, do you watch the games? Between this conversation and the Jenks arguments you try to make, I'm convinced you've bought into Ozzie's philosophy of just reading the back of the baseball card and not using your own eyes.

Mercy, that's a lot of range by Zobrist.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 30, 2010 -> 07:58 PM) Cmon. His pitch count was fine. A good pitcher would have smoked through the sixth with that new cushion. All you had to do is watch the 5th to see that Peavy was out of gas and lucky to be getting outs. Good job Santos!

For as hard as he throws, Santos gets hitters out with his offspeed pitches. The 3-2 pitch to Zobrist was very dumb pitch selection.

Um Carlos, the point of playing the outfield is to catch the ball.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 30, 2010 -> 07:53 PM) Ozzie made the right call. You don't pull an ace who was just given a four run lead. No matter how horses*** the highly paid ace is. Seriously, Jake Peavy is not a f***ing ace

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 30, 2010 -> 08:51 PM) Ozzie played that perfectly. Peavy deserved to come out for that inning and his s***tiness at this point and number of pitches means it is the time to take him out. Ha!

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ May 30, 2010 -> 08:49 PM) Is it too early in the season for Peavy to have Dead Arm?? The better question is if he's too young to be washed up?

Time to pull him! Good grief, he f***ing sucks so far this season. Too bad he couldn't get more line drives hit right at people. Put him on the DL!

Of course Ozzie's putting Peavy back out there, that's not even in question. Give him two base runners.

Nix with quite the entertaining bat flip there.

NIX!!!!! Bomb

Nix has to stay back here and look up the middle. Not a good match-up with his pull habit.

Someone ever going to teach Quentin how to hit a curve?

Nicely done by Kotsay...Kotsay might be our best mistake hitter.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ May 30, 2010 -> 08:22 PM) I think I read somehwere or saw that his arm motion and mehanics would eventually cause him injury, but that was to the elbow. The crazy thing is that Richard has better stuff than Peavy now. Faster average fastball, a better slider, and a more effective change-up. I have no idea what's wrong with Peavy, but his stuff is just extremely mediocre right now.

Thank Rios for two line drives right at our outfielders.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ May 30, 2010 -> 08:16 PM) If THAT was a slider, it's the worst slider I've seen in my life. That looked like a changeup to me with no movement. There is NO movement on that "slider" It was a slider. He's throwing more over the top today, and the result is the same crap we saw during the first month. What a bust so far.

Holy s*** is Peavy awful. These pitches have no bite at all. Put him on the DL, and tell him to build up some arm strength or something like htat.

He's throwing batting practice right now with those pathetic 90 mph fastballs and flat 87 mph slider.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 30, 2010 -> 08:08 PM) It looks like he couldn't buy a strike out right now. He was a dominant strike out pitcher in the NL. Of course, he had a plus-plus slider then. I would say he has an average at best slider now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 30, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) Stone just agreed with you. There is something wrong with Peavy. It's either an injury, mechanics, or simply losing his stuff. He's always been a slider-dominant pitcher, and outside of maybe 2 starts, he's lost that pitch.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 30, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) Was Peavy a good strike out pitcher back in San Diego? Is this sarcasm?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 30, 2010 -> 08:06 PM) Has Peavy topped 92 tonight? Not that I've seen. I also haven't seen many sharp sliders.

Here we go again...Peavy's fastball is very average today.
