June 20, 200520 yr What do you want/expect to see out of BMac tonight. Granted he is playing the Royals, but the Royals are playing good baseball right now. I expect to see 6 innings pitched, 5 runs. I hope I am wrong, but this is just the feeling I have for BMac right now.
June 20, 200520 yr I want to see something that gives me hope he can be a good starter for us. This year.
June 20, 200520 yr I want 6 innings from him without giving up a HR. If he does that, I think the Sox will win.
June 20, 200520 yr A win. No less than 5 IP. And someone who we can rely on until El Duque is "healthy" again.
June 20, 200520 yr 6 ip 2 runs only because it's KC i think McCarthy has no chance against a good team just my opinion... principal skinner: "...prove me wrong children, prove me wrong"
June 20, 200520 yr Im not a BMac fan.. He needs to prove to me he can be what he is projected to be before I support him.. Ide rather trade him to someone who thinks hes gonna be good in the future because I dont see it.. Look at his AAA #'s they suck, im sorry but someone who is as good as he has been advertised does not suck like he has in AAA

Garland dominated AAA and it still took him a while to pitch really well in the majors
June 20, 200520 yr i agree... Garland dominated AAA and it still took him a while to pitch really well in the majors <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If he works out, great, but I havent been impressed with him at all this season at both levels..
June 20, 200520 yr Some of you people need to think before posting. Judging McCarthy on his AAA numbers so far this year is completely idiotic. The guy is one of the top 100 prospects in baseball and one of our top 3. Look at his career minor league numbers. He had one bad game up here AT Texas, when they were on a complete roll and everyone called for his head. He did pretty damn well in his MLB debut if I recall correctly and it was in a big game at Wrigley. Give the guy a chance before writing him off. He's only pitched twice in the majors.

I am NOT impressed with his AAA #'s because of how he has been advertised... a top prospect and compared to MB and Prior and a 5 ERA in AAA? And its not like he has control issues, because he has good K/BB numbers... he gives up way too many HR's and Like I said and MEANT I do not think he is as good as people believe.. Ill judge him how I want, you judge him how you want..

As long as we win, I'll be happy. I am a big Bmac fan though, so I hope he pitches a good game and hopefully the hitters will give him some runs to work with.

He's only pitched twice in the majors. 1)AAA numbers are a telling sign of the progress of a pitching prospect. The assumption that judging a prospect by their minor league numbers is "idiotic" is highly suspect 2)A lot of top prospects don't pan out. I hope McCarthy does and I think he will, I just don't think he is ready for the majors yet. 3)single A numbers count about as much as highschool numbers 4)One bad game doesn't lead to a ERA over 7. sorry dude 5)Yea, he pitched a good game against the struggling scrubbies (not a major accomplishment). He also followed that game against a quality team and got destroyed. I think he will beat KC tonight, the are about as good as the flubs.

June 20, 200520 yr Burned. Anyways, Quality Start-ish for BMac. Also, McCarthy is 21 and in AAA, where the average age of players is what, 23-24ish? Also, starting 2004 he was in Low Class A. Give him some time, eh? Not everyone will get it right the first time.
