Shockingly, I agree with JM here 100%. He gave White-Flag a chance and over his last 3 outings, he's given up runs. It's probably because he doesn't know his role . It's not like White-Flag was pitching lights out and was used differently every game. Why is it that the only two relievers talking s*** in the press are the worst relievers we have..... White-Flag and Botch? Someone should fix these f***s a nice tall glass of Shut The f*** Up Juice.
Koch hasn't talked s*** about anybody but himself. All he has said is he thinks he can get his closing job back, and that is the attitude he HAS to have, otherwise he is done for.
Botch has talked s*** about Minnesota after they lit his ass up in '02's Divisional Playoffs and about the fans and media after he got EXTREMELY lucky on 06/21 after saving a game against the Cubs. To quote..... "Everyone wants to know where my 96 MPH heat is? There's your f***ing heat." Yeah. One pitch all season hit 96 MPH nut-rod. And the radar probably picked up the opposing players bat speed..... not his pitch speed. You may see it as Botch being critical of himself. I sort of read between the lines and draw my own conclusions. I just don't think Botch is as self-effacing as you may think. JMHO though.
