bump

LOL I was going to bump this but BPNAZ has a point. Kendrick is frustrating to watch, even for a 4th starter. Plus I was scared that he will give up 8 runs his next time out if I were to bump it.

that's always a possibility, but at least I'll look clever for the next 4 days

Lower ERA than Hamels.

 

[Retroram52]

I think Hamels is going the way of Halladay. He is simply getting older, he hasn't fully recoverd from a catastrophic injury, and is burned out. Typical Phillies. They rushed him back too soon because that moron in the front office has little options to replace him and our pitching is... ...well our pitching.

He's 30. That is dead middle of prime pitching years.

What "catastrophic injury" are you referring to?

 

[Retroram52]

Caligula, the one that he started the season on the DL with. Shoulder inflammation, prolonged tendonitis in the shoulder and biceps. That one that caused prolonged fatigue. Don't you read anything?

Lower ERA than Hamels.

What's this supposed to mean? He's a better pitcher than Hamels now?

 

[Cedrique]

It means he gives up less runs per 9 innings pitched than Hamels

I wouldn't call tendinitis a "catastrophic injury."

 

[Retroram52]

You would if ends your career which in this case is iffy at this point.

How does it feel to be a smart ass

It means Kendrick is currently sucking a lot less than other pitchers on the staff, yet fantards love complaining about the fifth starter.

Criticism of Kendrick is valid. Even after the great start he got off to last year, he still finished with a 4.70 ERA and a 1.400 WHIP. And "fantards" wanted to lock him up to a 4 year deal last year after April, and he went on to have a 6.91 ERA in the second half of the season. Do you want people to complain about Hamels? He has largely pitched very well this year, minus a few bad games, but even if he had a 8.00 ERA right now I'd still say he would go on to have a better year than Kendrick. I don't "love" complaining about anything, but I have no problem pointing out that Kendrick is inconsistent (at best).

And Kendrick is the fourth starter by the way.

 

[Retroram52]

Bottom line Number One is our pitching staff is getting further behind for many reasons.

I guess it's "Go time"

bump

Ha!!! Dumb ass.

 

[Cedrique]

It was worth it. The last four days I was feeling so good about myself that I accomplished more than I had in the last year.

 

[Omar 382]

Oh, wow what a surprise. Hamels has a way lower ERA and WHIP than Kendrick now.
