OT: Abreu lovers?

Check his debut tonight

That's because he's pitching for CLE-everyone fails there

BAHAHAHAHA

I knew it, not every org can be wrong when a guy toils in the minors. At least we got something for him, maybe it’s their pitching coaches fault?

This is retarded.

I didn't like him from the get, it is nice to have my opinions redeemed.

I hope he goes out and tears it up the rest of the year since someone is going to have to slow down these two freaking juggernauts we’re chasing.

It's one outing.

If he does this for another 40 innings this year, whatever, something wasn’t quite right, but to do it after one bad outing seems premature.

wait a tick, I agree, I was just never very high on him and it seems like some people were. K rates are great in the minors lets see it in the majors. Speaking of premature, is it too early to start salivating at the thought of Wade D. in the bullpen in about 2 months?

Raymondo isn't much of a fan of Balfour, I don't think you would let him comment like that after one bad outing.

by R.J. Anderson on Jul 7, 2009 11:40 PM EDT up reply actions

Balfour has proven he can get out ML hitters

When Raymondo talks it sounds like someone farting, at least that;s how I imagine it. This is all I see and hear:

Eh Wade can stay in the minors for the most part

We don’t need him in the majors. Hard to improve upon a top bullpen. Especially when we aren’t willing to get rid of our more overpriced worse pitchers.

I'm sure you aren't the only one that would like some cap flexibility.

I know you are trying to be sarcastic

But a pitching coach comment on something like this is beyond retarded. It doesn’t make sense. A career minor leaguer that continues to suck in the majors isn’t your poster child to point out a pitching coach. Wait until a good player switches teams and suddenly shows a decline in performance in a short sample size.

Either way I’m not a fan of sarcasm when in reality you have no evidence of your underlying assumption. It is a bit ridiculous.
