come on Kaz

Eventually you are gonna have to pitch a good game against the Sox this season, just out of bad luck even!

I think he will be good, it is hard to trust the guy but he still can be dominant on any given day.

by joeybw on Oct 16, 2008 7:48 PM EDT reply actions  

If he doesn't pitch well tonight

I fully anticipate it will be his last start in the playoffs, unless Price gets shelled to hell and back in relief.

Maddon doesn't ever do anything out of the ordinary

Like you know, walk a hitter with the bases loaded or pinch hit the wrong handed batter, or crazy defensive alignments that leave half the field undefended. Nothing out of the ordinary at all.

We knew that in 2006. He's right, but telling us nothing new. I dislike the way he talks about Kazmir's slider. While it's terrible, he talks in very

definite terms. Not mentioning that in the past it has been devastating. I don’t know, it bothers me. I understand he’s talking about currently, but it still annoys me.

From Keith Law:

• Tampa Bay outfielder Desmond Jennings missed most of the year with a shoulder injury, but he’s been added to the Peoria Javelinas’ taxi squad, which means he can play Wednesdays and Saturdays. He took BP on Saturday but didn’t start; his swing was easy and unrestricted, and he was spraying line drives to all fields.
