wow. What a terrible inning. Valverde has really been terrible. Not a single 1-2-3 inning. Twice blown three run leads. That should've been a fantastic win, manly performance from the bottom of the rotation on the road at a good team. Then the big-time closer comes in and melts down, Farnsworth-style.
Valverde is the new Woody Williams as far as I'm concerned. It's going to take more than a few saves and fist pumping to win back my confidence. He's in a hole almost to China in my eyes.
I think the suckiness comes from the Houston on the jersey. Sorry folks. I know it hurts. This guy went from the NL saves leader to the new Brad Lidge.
man this guy really doesnt have good stuff. i mean..at least lidge's stuff was nasty...jose doesnt really give you much... his era is horrendous...
Guys....things like this happen to bad teams....we are a bad team....inconsistent hitting and pitching....as I posted earlier, it's not like we have a reliable arm anywhere near our bullpen....who is the alternative? Brocail? Geary? Villareal? Borkowski? We just have to roll with Valverde's suckiness and realize that this is not a contending team.
this ****ing guy is terrible he sucks so much dick i ****ing hate him and i dont care if i get kicked off
Will people be asking pre-Phillies and post-Phillies? But Valverde sucked before tonight. If it's mental, he's ****ed after tonight.
Except for the fact that Lidge's ERA in a "down" year was 3.36, while Valverde's ERA is 11.37. They're exactly the same!!!
I wish Cooper would have just stayed with what was working. Why pinch hit in that situation with no men on? If Valverde fails, then you essentially screw over a masterful Chacon performance.
Just goes to show you how well Chacon pitched..valverde couldnt even hold em one inning. I think I would have pulled him after the three runs. Such a shame for Chacon to not get the win.
can we move this thread to the "Could it get more depressing?" stupid chump valverde!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that fool didnt throw any damn balls....all in the middle of the plate!!!!! IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
