Â If today was the first time Pods had dived for a ball and missed, I wouldn't have mentioned it. Since I've seen him do it two other times this season, I mentioned my disappointment with his diving-and-missing trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAfan Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 05:34 PM) Great win, great game by Juan. I think that, while one start doesn't mean THAT much, tomorrow is a referendum of sorts on Javy Vazquez for Sox fans. Given the marketplace, if he can't get it going we could move him for a set-up man and a top pitching prospect. He needs to show some stones tomorrow. We can't really use Brandon tomorrow so he better go some innings too  Javy Vazquez isn't going anywhere. Just think where Jose Contreras was for us after two half-seasons. He was all over the place. Then he fixed his mechanics and hasn't lost a regular season game since. I don't expect Javy to make the same transition, but I'm sure KW is going to give him a season to get straightened out.  And I don't see why McCarthy can't go again tomorrow. 29 pitches shouldn't shut down a starter like him. Personally, if Javy gets in any kind of trouble, I think we need to use McCarthy, who needs more work, not less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baines3 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) Good game all around. Brandon pitched a real good game in relief. Personally, I would have left him in to try and get the last out but Ozzie knows what he is doing.

chitownsportsfan Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Juan Uribe is the f***ing man when he's on these hot streaks. At this rate, he'll be hot till the end of July, cold through september, and then he'll heat up for the playoffs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Garland pitched well after the first. Cotts and BMac cruised. Pods is a frustrating player for me. 2 strike 3 lookings, a pickoff, and he plays Juan Pierre the exact same way he was playing Derek Lee, even against Cotts. If he would have shaded him towards the line, Pierre's "triple" would have been caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I think using Mac on back2back days for a healthy number of pitches is a bad idea as he's not a true reliever. Anyways, the point was that we don't have a guy who can bail him out in the 3-4-5th innings so he better be on (I recall the Cubs game against him in the opener of 05). Javy Vazquez will likely not pitch in our postseason rotation, he is not really an asset out of the bullpen (hello Mr. Damon in game 7), and he makes a ton of money while being worse than Brandon. Why not deal him for a reliever that can fill Brandon's bullpen job and a top prospect in this market that covets pitching. Vazquez, perhaps, would be the prize of the trade market. Maybe you can even pick up an outfield bat for him. McCarthy has to be in the rotation by April 07, so Javy is unning out of time to pick up Cooper's tips. I love Cooper too but let's not pretend every guy he has worked with has flourished. That is mainly because no pitching coach can optimize every guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
