VAfan Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 There's a poll here http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/index on which one of 5 starters you would want in a critical game. Buehrle is narrowly ahead of Barry Zito at the moment, with less than 1000 votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 As much of a Buehrle apologist that I am, this is probably not his fortay. In his two starts against Boston this year, he's gotten rocked. If those aren't a big game, I don't know what is. Therefore, I can't agree with selecting him as the pitcher you'd want in a big game. Although I will end up doing it.

Although I will end up doing it. Yeah what he said. Buehrle seems to always come up short in big head-to-heads with other "aces". Still an excellent pitcher, but not an "ace" that I would automatically go to for a big game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceffa2000 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 One more test tomorrow vs. Santana. Johan was lights out against the A's the other night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark had a bad game against the Red Sox,but now that he's got that out of his system,he could pitch a great game against the Twinkies and "Lindsay Lohan" Santana!

southsider17 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 He's lost to Santana already this year. Let's hope he evens it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lost that game because he made 1 bad pitch. To Torii Hunter. Mark had an amazing June and a bad July. He's still been above-average in August. Hopefully he got whatever bad game he had left out of his system in Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
