Eight, I believe, of Loaizas starts were not quality. And Loaiza choked, thats why Im dogging him. Wright didnt choke. Hes not a very good pitcher, but he didnt kill us when it counted so he is spared...
It doesnt matter. Carl can repeat these kinda numbers and even a season like he had in 2001 (.257-14-58) would beat whoever took his place (Rowand, Borchard or Reed). And he plays all out all the time. No one else on this team does that...
Loaiza did OK but Pedros Ks were much more impressive. Imagine if Pedro pitched 226 innings instead of 186. It wouldnt even be close.
I refuse to give props to a choking fluke...
I still dont like Loaiza for choking like he did, but I have gotten so sick of seeing us have a K leader with 120 Ks. So in a way, Im happy that somebody got up there and led the league...
