April 11, 200322 yr http://espn.go.com/mlb/columns/kurkjian_ti...im/1537033.html But the thing that jumped off of the page at me is that we are tied with the Yankees for the fewest amount of innings pitched by the bullpen.
April 11, 200322 yr Author All it means is that the Starters are going deep into ball games! Exactly.
April 11, 200322 yr It'll take alot of IP's to makeup for that 6 run disaster in KC. and that was all on billy koch and gordon for the most part...the rest of the pen has pitched well

April 11, 200322 yr Least amount of innings pitched is a HUGE positive. Keeps the bullpen fresh all year long, and is a good indicator of the success of your starters. Now if Flash Gordon would only become usable in close game situations...

April 11, 200322 yr It'll take alot of IP's to makeup for that 6 run disaster in KC. and that was all on billy koch and gordon for the most part...the rest of the pen has pitched well And since the KC disaster, Koch has been all that was advertised. Now if Flush can pitch like we've seen he can.....
April 11, 200322 yr Man, If Gordon was even decent this year the Royals would not be undefeated and we would be 6-3.
April 11, 200322 yr Man, If Gordon was even decent this year the Royals would not be undefeated and we would be 6-3. Huh? What game did he blow? That 12-6(or whatever the score was) loss to KC? I wouldn't blame that game on Gordon.....we played like s*** defensively, and we were being squeezed on calls(or atleast 1 in particular). In the top of the 7th....Thomas was rung up on a check swing....and it was a fair call....not that I necessarily agreed with it, but it wasn't a bad call by any means. The next inning....with 1 out....and a runner on first....Sweeney came up....and on a 2-2 count....a scenario that was EXACTLY the same as what happened to Thomas occurred....and it was called ball. Bad calls are a part of baseball....and always will be. But what pisses me off is when an ump is calling the same call two different ways. Sweeney got on, and Marte came in to get Ibanez....Ibanez hit it and the ball was slowly grounded to Crede. He stepped on third, but couldn't get Ibanez at first....and a huge inning took place after that. Gordon didn't pitch well....but we played like s***, and the umping wasn't fair. We deserved to lose that game. If you blame that loss on Gordon....than you are foolish. If that is the case....then you are blaming the 5-4 loss on Graffy, Konerko, and White.....because if Graffy makes a good throw/Konerko digs out the bad throw/White doesn't give up Randa's homer.....we win that game or atleast have it tied and are going to extra innings. You are placing blame unfairly on Gordon. You win as a team and you lose as a team....period.
