Once again Wedgie brings in the gasman to close out a game. Unfortunately for me I had the Indians parlayed witht he Pitt Pens -1.5. You figure the road team gets in at 2am and have their biggest stiff pitching youre supposed to win.

I was very surprised and obviously happy with what they did last year...but it is looking more like a year when everything goes right.




How do you spell relief again?

Why in gods name did Wedge bring in the firestarter? Let Bettancourt finish up the game for christsake. Most teams have a "closer" most "closers" dont throw 82MPH meatballs down the middle to Manny Ramirez. The way Blowrowski was throwing yesterday I doubt he could have shutdown a singe A team.

I watched the end of the game and i agree, he couldn't get out a single A team let alone the most dangerous hitter in baseball

Pitch counts...set up guy...set sup the set up guy....left handed reliever to lefty hitters only...long relief guy......"closer"...and one or two more just in casers.


Man it's goofy now....and I agree. Unless the guy is tiring....no reason to take an effective pitcher out just because it's a "close" situation.


It isn't....it's a "win the game logically" situation.

that drives me crazy..you have your 7th Inning guy, your 8th Inning guy and your 9th inning guy..odds on each being perfect are slim..especially when you have JoBo looming in the 9th

I think he's done.





That's why they signed mix and match free agents out of ICU.....Betancourt and them are closers in waiting....but I would bet the waiting is over.

It's odd....his pitches were slow in spring traning,too,but they said there was no problem....he'll get there.


Funny how this all works.




Sounds like horse racing in a way.

I feel like Betancourt will do it,though. He's very good and believe his head can handle it...and he's a very modest and very real down to Earth guy. Not that Borowski isn't...he seems like a good guy.

Too bad.

i was watching the Whitesox go up 3 early

But if you promote Betancourt to closer and everyone moves up accordingly, who then becomes the all important 6th inning, Tuesday and Thursday night, left handed set up man

How goes it dude?




Yup...I get you. He does seem mentally tough to be honest....but he just has nothing. Even last year---no idea how he did it.



Now we're gonna get you guys who have finally learned how to hit.

I am dismayed by the lack of Thebbatina in the threads lately, but other than that I am fine. How are things on your end?
