June 27, 200421 yr I think its safe to say Loaiza has regressed back to his norm. I am beginning to believe last year was a fluke. He shows flashes of 2003 here and there but consistantly enough. In general, that's what we all were afraid of.
June 27, 200421 yr If one of you guys would have told me before the series, that out of Felix Diaz-Jon Garland-Esteban Loaiza that Diaz would have the best start, I would have said that we'd be in a position to sweep. How odd things are, that Felix Diaz has the best outting out of the three of them. It's kind of scary to think that, though...
June 27, 200421 yr Also he is giving so many flyballs this year compared to last year. Not to mention the increase in the HRs he keeps giving up.
June 27, 200421 yr Now thats Loaiza of old. A hard cutter or slider in on the hands of a lefty. That was pretty.
June 27, 200421 yr In general, that's what we all were afraid of. And yet, he can still win (or come close to) 20 games..
June 27, 200421 yr In general, that's what we all were afraid of. It's not like his stuff is regressing though, it's his mindset of not pitching inside that has regressed. Last year, he threw to every part of the plate. Now he goes outside-outside-outside, and hitters are basically leaning on and over the plate.
June 27, 200421 yr And yet, he can still win (or come close to) 20 games.. We'll see....When's the last time he's had a decision in a game? He's done this a lot lately.

June 27, 200421 yr In general, that's what we all were afraid of. He's still doing way better then his career numbers (minus last year).

How odd things are, that Felix Diaz has the best outting out of the three of them. It's kind of scary to think that, though... I would of said that the Sox would of been screwed. It would of meant that Diaz was hit hard, but that Elo and JG probably sucked. The Sox can still get this game, Elo is more then capable of getting in a groove and shutting the cubs out the rest of the way. Come on Sox
June 27, 200421 yr Hell yes. Aggressive baserunning by Lee With Goowin in right, you run all day long.
June 27, 200421 yr We'll see....When's the last time he's had a decision in a game? He's done this a lot lately. He doesn't have a Billy Botch to f*** him up anymore. Koch single-handedly cost Buehrle and Loaiza a couple of wins.
