Billy Koch

Featured Replies

I was talking to baggs about Billy and he mentioned something about Koch having a sore arm. I was just wondering if there was someone with some inside info that knew what was wrong with him? He seemed ok tonight besides the hit but he has no velocity. I know some posts have contained some info about it but I would seriously like to know what the hell is with him. Is he injured or just can't get it together or what? Thanks to anyone who knows.

hsc, steff..you gals wanna field this one??? ;)

all i know is what i have heard from a friend of mine on the inside.. billy has a sore arm and is trying to work through it........how severe it is i dont know and wont till i see my buddy tomorrow...........ill have more info then..........

It wouldn't shock me at all if he was hurt from all the innings he logged last year in Oak-town.

Hawk mentioned something about the speed gun measuring soft tonight during the game. I don't think in 5 innings i saw a pitch over 91. I dunno if they were just bulls***ting though.

 

He pitched relatively well tonight actually, that home run was muscled out, just like Mags was the inning before. Both good pitches and both just barely HR.

That homer he gave up in the ninth was a classsic Chinese Home Run -- just inside the pole and barely over the fence. If we hadn't moved the fences in last year, it would have been a harmless double. Plus, they got four outs that inning.

but most of koch's pitchers were 86 -88..he had one real high fastball at 90..even garland was reaching 86...even if you add 5 mph koch is still at 91-93 , occasionally 95...this is a guy thay should bring it 98 anytime he needs it

 

 

if we take a one run lead into the 9th tomorrow..can we really bring in koch to pitch???

neal cotts wont be helping us this year...so i could give a rats ass about koch...he's probably 2 years away..in the meantime if this team folds up this season and KW twhite flags the season and bartolo and maggs are moved if neil cotts became the next randy johnson it would still be a bad trade...

 

 

the koch trade weakened the sox for the '03 season..so imo it cant be considered a good trade

If he has a sore arm, then it was really dumb to bring him in with a five run lead. I'll be interested to hear what your source says about his arm.

Are you implying that you'd like Mark Johnson back?

i give you rocky biddle, lorenzo barcelo , james baldwin , jim parque , mike sirotka , ect ect ect as examples of sox pitchers in the past few years that were run out there with sore arms ect...why stop now :lol:

I'm a fan of Koch but I say no. Not until they know for sure that's he healthy. If it's a close game tomorrow, bring in Marte.

Can you please explain to me why that type of HR is called a "Chinese HR"? I never heard that term before. Thanks.
