June 29, 200520 yr Brandon will get his first ML win tonite. I'll stake my reputation on it. I guess I don't have much to lose. I just have a hunch about tonight is all.
June 29, 200520 yr This is probably one of the most pressing starts of his Baseball career. This will show if the 21 YO is ready to be a major league starter.
June 30, 200520 yr Coincidentally it was the first game he could throw all three pitches for strikes.

June 30, 200520 yr If Aaron Rowand played CF last night, Brandon has his first ML win. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you want to talk about "if's"... If McCarthy was pitching at the Cell last night, he would have been shellacked for 4 homeruns. Edited June 30, 200520 yr by Jabroni

June 30, 200520 yr If you want to talk about "if's"... If McCarthy was pitching at the Cell last night, he would have been shellacked for 4 homeruns. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Completely agree. Some of those shots to CF and right center field would've been long gone at most other parks. My observation was, he pitched ok, he kept his team in the game and for a 5th starter that's basically what you want. I would not go as far as complaining about his performance because he did his job and went 6 1/3. But he misses out over the plate and he leaves pitches up in the zone. He gutted it out, got some big time help from his defense too. Not a bad outing but he can improve, which is very normal for a 21 yr. old pitcher. Add that all up, and I say KW goes out and gets another starter.

But I would s*** my pants if he pitched the same way at the Cell. The game would be over quickly. Edited June 30, 200520 yr by Jabroni
June 30, 200520 yr All I have to say is that Brandon McCarthy is going to get his first major league win on July 4th, his next start (the Tampa Bay game that I am going to).
June 30, 200520 yr Any other big parks on schedule soon? That's when we rest Dookie and plug in B-Mac.
