southsideirish71 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 19, 2007 -> 03:37 PM) Injury? His fastball is not where it should be When a pitcher tells you he has a knott in his shoulder for a month its probably not a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottawa_sox Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 19, 2007 -> 04:35 PM) How does this happen? I just don't get it. How does one guy go from a dominant pitcher to someone who shouldn't be in the majors? Argh. In Garland's case, without watching or listening to the game, I would guess he has lost the sink in his sinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitoMB345 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Get him out of there and onto the DL. Let's give someone else a chance to start. Garland is terrible right now, and I assume he is just hurting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's electing not to throw it. I think I've seen one good sinker today. A lot of 4-seamers and change ups so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Garland as a starter, year by year, ERA vs. WHIP: 2001: 4.03, 1.65 2002: 4.58, 1.40 2003: 4.51, 1.37 2004: 4.89, 1.38 2005: 3.50, 1.17 2006: 4.51, 1.36 2007: 4.86, 1.39 Draw your own conclusion. I say 2005 was a fluke and Jon Garland is an average pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) I'm sure glad Williams decided not to trade Garland when it was obvious to anyone familar with his career his value would never be higher. Honestly, many of us we're calling that mistake from the moment July past and his remained on this ballclub. Oh man, I can't wait for everyone to throw out excuses as to why Garland will receive nowhere near our expectations in the offseason. What I have to say to that is, oops, too bad -- Williams has to receive a quality package for the success of our franchise. We absolutely cannot have anymore trades such as those last season with Garcia and McCarthy. Say what you want about "winning" these deals because of injuries to both pitchers, but I don't look at Danks/Masset/Rasner for McCarthy and Floyd/Gonzalez for Garcia as franchise changing trades. As I've said before, those trades are the equivalent of taking one step backwards, one and a half steps forward. You may improve slightly, but not enough to overcome other defencies on the ballclub.

BearSox Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Toby Hall this season for the White Sox has a CERA of 6.61 and rising. For comparison's sake, Gustavo Molina's CERA this season was 4.26 and Pierzynski's CERA is 4.49. Also, Toby Hall's career CERA is in the 5's. I bring this up because Toby Hall has been just calling terrible games and I don't think he has much, if any, chemistry with any of the pitchers. I could see Donny Lucy being a september call up and possibly replace Hall next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point about the chemistry though....it seems odd. This is embarassing right now....someone has to lose their job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I love how the scorekeepers are doing their best to ensure Garland has as many runs added to his line as possible. Garland isn't helping himself either, obviously. SOOOOO glad Williams decided not to trade him before the trading deadline. Great move, K-Dub.

BearSox Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I don't think Garland cares anymore. Can't really blame him either. He could pitch a great game and still get the L since this team is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, every day Hall and his patsy swing remains on the club is another day he's removing himself from next season. What's so difficult about having the surgery and undergoing rehabilitation before next season begins? Are we just intent on making everything as hard as possible?

santo=dorf Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) Can Vidro still play second? Isn't he a free agent? His power has dipped but he still gets on base at a good rate and doesn't strikeout much which would please Guillen.

However, he's costing himself an absolute fortune with each s***ty start he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
