I was truly trying to hold back, but you made me.

 

The heaviest cy young winner in history... by a decent margain too..

 

 

Only the second fastest in major league baseball history to record 100 saves (187 games) to kaz sasaki (160 games).

 

Lamar Hoyt was pretty big when he won the Cy Young for the Sox.

 

Wasnt Glavine the hockey player?

 

Yes, we was drafted for the NHL.

Let Colon have a few starts before we all jump off a bridge.

 

Excuse me, but that rational post belongs elsewhere.

sorry that's funny phrasing.

Lamar Hoyt was pretty big when he won the Cy Young for the Sox.

 

He was anywhere from 50 to 70 pounds lighter than sabathia. The big differential is due to their height difference, hoyt is 6'1 compared to sabathia who is 6'7.

I'm reserving judgment on Colon and Jose (and subsequently the management's decision to go with them in the rotation), until atleast mid-may when they've got 4-5 starts each under their belts.

 

For some reason, I've got a good feeling about them both putting up 13-15 wins this year. Nothing groundbreaking, but they'll keep us in games.

worth noting that he got lit up by the angels, who are the spring version of the '31 yankees. they've been lighting up everyone.

If Colon and Contreras both give us 13-15 wins, we'll win 110 games, and I'll eat my hat.

I kinda feel that when it comes to pitchers, that spring training is not a good measure of how they'll perform in the season. For all we know, Colon was probably not putting in much effort since it was only a spring training game and he was just working on some pitches and "putting some work in".

LOL, Steve couldnt let you get to it first

Today we can all agree Bartolo deserves credit. Nice job.

 

 

I'm with you on that. I saw Colon as a pitcher on Saturday and not just a hard thrower. He did a grat job and I hope he can continue

Colon's biggest asset yesterday was that he didnt look like he was afraid to throw the ball over the plate. And when he was ahead in the count, the next pitches were at least close enough for the batter to consider swinging at, unlike some of the Sox other pitchers whoe 0-2 fastballs end up in the opposite batters box. Good job for game 1 Colon, now build on that!

I was ultra impressed on the movement he was getting as well. That 2-seamer was dancing around.

Colon's biggest asset

lol

Bartolo Colon is a winner.

Over/under on how many pages this thread is by the time the regular season ends? It's got to be a high number, as this thread will be bumped after both every good start by Colon and every bad start, with only the meh type starts keeping this thread quiet.

It's gonna be quite a few since most fans don't take a long view on players' performances,it's mostly a "what have you done for me lately" attitude...
