I'm with you. Everything's important till the math no longer works in our favor. Till then dream way. Did I catch an Imagine reference in there?

ThunderBolt Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Anyone else excited to see what kind of pitching repetoire Hudson comes out of spring with? Right now, he has two set pitches, and is flirting with the curve, and a few other things. If we can get the Coop, Buehrle, and Peavy trifecta to work with him.... my god, will we have a pitcher.

soxbsbllvr Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I think the kid looked great for a first start; had a few hiccups but really worked out of it; had pretty good command. Had the rookie strike zone which is nonexistant and if he continues to paint corners and get the calls he will have a major impact. Saw Coop and Ozzie jawing at the ump over the strike zone difference for Blackburn. Add a cutter and he will be deadly. I can't wait to see him in the bigs next year!

The Critic Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Other than the back-to-back walks to give up a run, I thought Hudson did very well. He certainly wasn't the problem last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgonzo4sox Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hudson wasn't the problem last night - it's impossible to win without scoring at least one run. Hudson had a decent but not spectacular outing. On the positive side, if the defense and his control had been better, he could have escaped with no runs. On the negative side, he committed a serious 2-base error to put a leadoff batter (O-Cab) on, he threw too many pitches and didn't go deep, and he walked too many, including Punto (twice!). If he had been a vet, he probably would have gotten a tongue-lashing from Coop or Ozzie after the first Punto walk: "He's batting .220 and can barely hit the ball out of the infield - throw him strikes and make him put it in play!" or "Kid, you're in the majors now - it's OK to walk 'Pu-jols' if the situation is right, but not 'Pu-nto'!"

ThunderBolt Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hudson will be starting again Sunday. Looks like Floyd's done for the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that MB will miss his last start as well, which I think would have been next Tuesday. I'll be curious to see how they handle the rotation from here out.

That is perfectly fine with me. If he has an injury, there is no sense in potentially doing serious damage to Floyd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
