August 25, 200520 yr Bmac vs Texas?! Is it just me, or does that sound like extra batting practice for the Texas mashers?! If I were Ozzie, I'd start Bmac under one single condition, show me you can throw your change for strikes like in spring training, and you can start...otherwise he will get shelled, especially by the Rangers.

Somebody has to start that game, and Brandon is our best option. From what I've been hearing about the way he's been pitching lately, I'll gladly take my chances with BMac over any other option we have.
August 25, 200520 yr If Bmac is using his changeup and throwing it for strikes, he's dangerous...if not, he's too predictable with his fastball, which loses it's effectiveness.

August 25, 200520 yr QUOTE(BMAC3520 @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 06:15 AM) Wait... is that me on the right or on the left? I'm offended if it's me getting my ass kicked. Unfortunately... the rest of the pic is pretty accurate. hey much love and good luck in the future, bmac. lookin forward to seein' you with the big team for good soon.
August 25, 200520 yr I don't think there is much of an alternative, honestly, but hell, does it matter who starts?! I don't think any of our minor league pitchers could do much worse than Bmac has done in the majors...what's his ERA up top, like 8?! Arnie Munoz and Felix Diaz can put up numbers like that, too.

I feel confident that you'll see a different BMac this time around.
August 25, 200520 yr QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 12:32 AM) Here's what a fight between Jack McDowell and BMac would look like. Sorry, being in Texas and all, it looked a lot like a Nolan Ryan v. Robin Ventura fight. Damn, now I really want to make the 1000 mile round trip to Dallas. Hey Kap, got a guest room? I think a Bmac start is just what the team needs.

I want to go but I think I have almost no shot at going - I can't get off work as it's budget season.
August 25, 200520 yr QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 06:14 AM) I feel confident that you'll see a different BMac this time around. He has been doing very well in AAA as of late, so i agree with you on that one. Good luck BMac.
August 25, 200520 yr QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 12:32 AM) Here's what a fight between Jack McDowell and BMac would look like. McDowell would blow Brandon's way and he'd fall over.

August 25, 200520 yr Hey Brandon, good luck against Texas..they're a hard hitting team, but I've got confidence that you'll do just fine. Can't wait to see you permanantly on the Sox!
August 25, 200520 yr Uh, this is going to sound really stupid, but why are we looking for another starter for that game? edit: Oh ok I see now. It is a doubleheader so they want to retain the same number of off days for the other starters. I guess it really was a stupid question Edited August 25, 200520 yr by SpringfieldFan
