freddie is too composed for my liking. i would like to see more emotion out of him before i start to really embrace him. he is given major opportunity to show us what his character as a competitor is. i hope he goes to the hill with major chip on shoulder & big time edge to kick the BOSOX booties!
You see, I completely disagree with this. Why should he go out there and be yelling and jumping around on the mound? I hate it when I see a guy like Carlos Zambrano going crazy out there, I really don't want to see Garcia do it. The best thing I can see from a pitcher is like what we get from Garland, when he struck out Tejada earlier in the year, possibly the biggest pitch of the year for him, all he did was walk off the mound and go into the dugout, he was totally calm and showed nothing. He obviously cares about the game but he doesn't have to show it by screaming and fist pumping.
