April 21, 200322 yr At least he keeps the clubhouse loose. Very important too since the tightness from a "Pucker Factor" will be 10 every time Botch is brought in to save a game from now on.
April 21, 200322 yr Billy Koch will not blow a save today. he tried, though... He only needed the lead and he woulda suceeded...

I think it's time to let Marte have the closing role. Botch has just sucked Koch!!! (I love puns.) CWSOX45

I think it's time to let Marte have the closing role. Botch has just sucked Koch!!! (I love puns.) CWSOX45 I like puns too....but I'd have Gordon close, not Marte. Marte's a lefty...and he's awesome in the 7th and 8th(not to say he's not awesome in the 9th either)....but he's needed more in those situations. IMO....if 3 big lefties were coming up in the 9th....I wouldn't be a dipship and send Gordon out to the mound. I'd send Marte up. But just the same....if there are 3 righties coming up....I'm not gonna send Damaso out there.....even if they pinch hit one or two of the righties with LH hitters...I'm still going with Gordon. Both are good enough pitchers that they can get a guy out from either side of the plate. Let's just hope that Koch gets his fastball up there to 98 or so real f***in quick. I don't want him to throw 94 or 95 with this curve-ball s***. I want Koch to throw the ball real f***ing hard....that's what we brought him here to do, isn't it? Not f*** around with a curveball or slider.

April 22, 200322 yr Does anyone know Koch's pitch repertoire? Is it just 4 seamer and curve ball or is it a slider?

Not f*** around with a curveball or slider. witesoxfan..i always like that idea...not really a closer by committee but dual closers..as the game plays itself out after 7 innings you could whether the righty should pitch the 8th and the lefty the 9th or visa versa..we did that with osuna and marte last year with alot of success.
April 22, 200322 yr another thing about botch..when he pitches does anyone else have alan embree flashbacks??? botch is a mirror image of embree
April 22, 200322 yr OK, how do you pronounce Kochs last name? I dont know a lot of Sox fans so the way I say names is the way I know them. Theres no one to correct me. I say Creed instead of Credee. Ya know what I mean? So I dont get the Koch suckers jokes. I say Kotch. Please dont tell me its Cock. But actually that would work out nicely.
