August 9, 200520 yr i know our bullpen is awesome but we need to find adkins more innings if he is gonna be up here.
August 9, 200520 yr I can pretty much guarantee that Adkins is the least of Ozzie's concerns right now.
August 9, 200520 yr QUOTE(soxfan420 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 09:22 PM) i know our bullpen is awesome but we need to find adkins more innings if he is gonna be up here. why does he need innings? Hes far from a prospect at this point and his role as mop up guy fits him well. Hes an average pitcher whose role is mop-up duty. He doesn't need innings...
August 9, 200520 yr It's not like he's gonna be used for the playoffs unless half the team catches syphillis. He's in his role right now, leave him there. [/even though Baj should be up]
August 9, 200520 yr I give every White Sox player a chance unless hes proven he sucks to the fullest like Walker :puke . Last year Adkins was doing good and then he got on a rough stretch, this season his only outing he was throwing strikes commanding the count. I liked what I saw, hopefully whenever he gets thrown out there he contributes so I am rooting for him. I will probably be the only one but I don't care, if he adds another piece to the solid bullpen I have no problem with that. It's pretty obvious that Baj has no future in this organization I mean hes been pitching lights out all year long in that hitters park in Charlotte and Walker gets the call over him twice. Now Adkins gets the call over him who also had way worse numbers, im not gonna hate Adkins for that.
August 9, 200520 yr Yeah, I'm not looking for him to be in close games, either up by a lot, or down by a lot, so we don't waste the valuable arms in that situation.
August 9, 200520 yr Adkins is here because Ozzie doesn't want to screw up the rest of the bullpen which has been lights out. The other guys need to throw regularly. But not too much that they're overworked and used up before the playoffs. Adkins is the odd man out by design. If Adkins is getting too much work, that means the starters aren't going long in games. If the starters are going into the 7th inning, the other guys can close out games from there.
August 9, 200520 yr Adkins is here to eat up 3-4 innings if need be if a starter has a rough outing and that's it. Edited August 9, 200520 yr by Rowand44
August 9, 200520 yr Is 420 the only fan Jon Adkins has on here? (Just showing in a Baj loved community).
