soxfan420 Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 i feel they should get more innings from the pen. wunsch throwing only 1/3 an inning and marte throwing 2/3 of an inning while guys like rick white and tom gordon who have 2 innings each, and are not has good has marte and wunsch. buh-bye manuel it is time for you to leave.

IlliniKrush Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 especially when rick white sucks. marte will probly pitch the 8th inning most games as setup, i'm not worried. the problem with wunsch is that he's a lefty specialist, and might get clocked by righties. so pitching a whole inning could be dicey.

He threw great during spring training against rightys and leftys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 when you come in and walk the only guy you faced, you failed miserably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan420 Posted April 5, 2003 Author Share Posted April 5, 2003 when you come in and walk the only guy you faced, you failed miserably. thats why you need to give him more innings. 1 batter=not proving anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 no, you give a guy more innings when he proves he can do more than walk the only guy he faces. if he gets them out consistenly, maybe extend him a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan420 Posted April 5, 2003 Author Share Posted April 5, 2003 when you come in and walk the only guy you faced, you failed miserably. what about what koch did retiring 0 batters and allowing 2 earnruns and walking 1. its just one bad outing.

Soxplosion Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Hes a specialist. Hes always been called on usually to get one guy and it seems a lot when he doesnt get the guy he comes into face, hes gonna be taken out. Sometimes he starts an inning and goes the full inning but when he comes in during the middle of an inning, hes usually only gonna face a guy. And Rick White isnt that bad. I think he could be quite good. Everyone sucked during the KC series so White should be forgiven like all the rest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxplosion Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 I still think he can be good. Yeah, he threw a shutout inning today in the ninth when we were up by seven but I still think if ya give him the chance hell be about like Howry. Maybe not that great but decent. And I agree, Marte should see more time. Hes the best reliever we got... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
