I agree, they should start using Borkowski more. The past couple of times I've seen this guy pitch, he's been good. Heck, even Nieve would be a better option right now out of the bullpen.
he had a 3.12 ERA in 26IP going into today's game.....try to find someone with better #'s in that bullpen.
virtually everytime any closer goes out, the spectacular screw up is possible. when they get the job done, no one notices. when they don't, they pile on.
I think people notice, where did the phrase "Lights out Lidge" come from? I guess no one was noticing then, huh? DD
and that's the nature of fandom. I think compared to other cities, houston has pretty level headed fans.
I think all our guys throw the same speed, we need a junk ball pitcher in relief to give the other team a speed variation between starter and closer...someone to slow the game down a bit. DD
Isn't it something that as soon as a person has bad outings, everyone wants them gone. But, is in a couple of months they pull up, they are that person's biggest supporter. Springer will always have 1 plus on his side for me and that's purposely hitting Bonds.
Chris Sampson is awesome. I hated to see him go. He should have stayed instead of say Miller or Springer or Qualls.
Why are those 2 things mutually exclusive? And do you need a 3rd long-relief/swingman-type when you have Borkowski & Nieve in the pen?
why not start using nieve or bucholz out of the bull pen?? let them try and carve out a career for themselves instead of throwing them in the fire as a starter?? they can't be worse than springer or that old lefty they have. trever miller? yeah... i say start using our young guys and let them show us they deserve to start...
