beck72 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 http://www.suntimes.com/output/sports/cst-spt-sox19.html For those people thinking BMac will rot in the pen waiting to get some work in during blow outs think again. It's nice to hear Coop plans on getting him a lot of work. I ultimately envisioned BMac pitching in the 7th and 8th along with Cliff, Neal and Dustin. There should be a lot of days Bmac could take the ball for both the 7th and 8th and give those 3 other guys the day off. Kind of like the Scot Shields role for the angels.

kevin57 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Of course, with our starters going deep into games as they did much of last year, maybe none of our bullpen will be needed very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the starters will go as many innings as they did last year. It should be a preventative type thing to keep them healthy and fresh. If Bmac could give the sox 80-100 innings, think how strong the rotation will be in August and Sept, and leading into October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is another plus for the Vazquez acquisition. The guy's a horse. You know you'll get 200+ innings from him. Let's hope Coop can work his magic on him.

You know you'll get 200+ innings from him. Let's hope Coop can work his magic on him. Replacing El Duque with Vazquez was a work of magic. If not just for the fact that he could give the sox those 200 innings. But esp. if the sox can get those innings and an under 4.00 ERA from him. The rest of the rotation and bullpen will be that much fresher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 My oh my have times changed since 2004. Remember when we had just Mark and a bunch of question marks? The depth of this staff is unreal. Brandon will be a luxury that no other team has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worst memory of 2004 is that every time I had tickets to a game, I got to see the latest episode of The 5th Starter Experiment. I didn't see Buerhle pitch in person one time that year. I don't miss The 5th Starter Experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already knew what was gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He carries it around with him wherever he goes. If he pitches like he did the second half of last year, he could carry around a barbie doll for all I care.

"He's got a Teddy bear named 'Mr. B'?'' a somewhat shocked A.J. Pierzynski asked, when told of McCarthy's longtime travel buddy. "I didn't know that -- and I wish I still didn't."
