June 9, 200421 yr I've said it once, I'll say it again. Sum1 at SoxFest has gotta lay into KW about these minor league pitchers being promoted from short rest after only pitching an inning or two. Does any other major league team even use this method?
June 9, 200421 yr Pistons?? I thought the NBA went defunct a few years ago? Your probably thinking of the NHL, not even God can save them now...
June 9, 200421 yr Actually, is this really all that bad. He pitched on his normal rest instead of holding him out and going on like 8 or 9 days rest. Seems to me they said, we'll give him a few innings to stretch him out and then let him go on at least a decent amount of rest. I'd rather have him in this situation then sitting about 8 or 9 days.
June 9, 200421 yr Gio Gonzalez and Munoz have killer curves. We'll see both of them pitch when it's all said and done. Let's sign Gio and have him pitch Saturday. No, seriously though, best of luck to Munoz! Six innings, four runs or less, and I will be a happy man! Good luck!

This situation would have been avoided with better planing. If they had decided two weeks ago Arine would be brought to start, his slot in the rotation would have been adjusted to match his start in Chicago. Seems to me like the Sox are always making last second decisions with their prospects. The kid is probably nervous as hell and throwing off his usual rest period probably won't help him feel any better.
June 9, 200421 yr Author Your probably thinking of the NHL, not even God can save them now... Aren't they one in the same??
June 9, 200421 yr Is this official yet or is it a possibility a trade could be made in the next few days?
June 9, 200421 yr Although I think this is the dumbest move we could make at this point and I think we would be much better off starting Diaz without screwing with his schedule and actually setting him up to succeed I will still force a smile and hope it works out. I hope i'm wrong

I hope i'm wrong Diaz got f***ing schellacked(who knows how to spell that word. ) in his last outing. He lost his chance to come back up then.
June 9, 200421 yr A guy has a bad game and is forever banished to the minors? Wow. I'm glad I don't have to perform my job under that kind of pressure.
June 9, 200421 yr A guy has a bad game and is forever banished to the minors? Wow. I'm glad I don't have to perform my job under that kind of pressure. I was refering to his last outing in Charlotte. 5IP 8ER
June 9, 200421 yr Diaz got f***ing schellacked(who knows how to spell that word. ) in his last outing. He lost his chance to come back up then. Come on cheat he was set up to fail... He got two starts, both on a screwed up schedule. How can you expect the guy to perform when he can't even stick to a realiaistic schedule.
June 9, 200421 yr Author Read the post above yours. There is no major league team in Charlotte. Cheat, I think you are being a bit hard on the Beaver...... Diaz has one bad outing in Charlotte all year. Many guys bounce right back from a tough outing with a very good one. Looking forward, I think Arnie deserves a chance. I just wish they would cut the string and lose the game of yo-yo they are playing. But I doubt they will.
June 9, 200421 yr Author Is this official yet or is it a possibility a trade could be made in the next few days? A trade can always be made........ Nothing is official until he steps on the mound Saturday.

I'm not being hard on the guy, he just didn't have it on a night when he needed to. In fact he made it to the 7th not the 6th as I had thought, but couldn't get anyone out that inning (8 runs crossed the plate, 6 charged to Diaz). The point I was making was that he sealed his fate with that outing in Charlotte, not his performaces with the sox.

And my point is, that outing should not seal his fate....... it was only one outing. Plans to send Munoz were already in the works, so in reality, I doubt that outing had anything to do with it, as it should be.
